"Ms. Crown, please sign for your flowers," the courier said as he handed me the flowers he was holding.

It was a bouquet of white roses. These were my favorite flowers, and only someone who knew me well would know that.

Although I was sure Xander had no romantic intentions toward me, he was definitely interested in my personal life. So, I decided to play along and smiled mischievously. "A young and attractive one."
