Chapter 299

Elodie really liked the bouquet of tulips.

Back when she used to take care of her own place, she loved stopping by the florist for fresh flowers, arranging them in a vase to brighten up the house and give it that little spark of ceremony.

Clearly, the organizers of this high-end resort event had put some thought into things-sending flowers as a congratulatory gesture.

Across the room, she spotted Alexander and Esmeralda waving her over.

When Elodie reached them, Esmeralda's eyes widened at the flowers in her arms. "Those are gorgeous! Who gave them to you?"

Elodie glanced around-Joseph was nowhere in sight-before answering, "The resort staff, I think. Didn't they give you guys any?"

Esmeralda immediately pouted. "Seriously? How could they just forget about us!"

Alexander, curious, brushed his fingers over a tulip petal. "All the centerpieces tonight are lilies. Why'd they give you tulips?"
