The secretary entered the room, pushing the door open with a large bouquet of flowers in his hands.

"Who sent them?" Emmeline inquired, contemplating whether Abel could be the sender. However, she doubted that he would engage in such superficial gestures.

"There's no name on the card," replied the secretary. "I don't know who sent them."

Emmeline rose from her executive chair and approached to take the flowers.

The secretary, mindful of closing the door, left the room.

The bouquet consisted of vibrant red roses interspersed with sprigs of eustoma. The flowers were beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

But who would send such conspicuously red roses?

Emmeline reached for her phone, contemplating whether to ask Abel about it. Perhaps he had whimsically ordered the flowers for her, considering she was working on his behalf that day.

However, before she could dial his number, the phone rang, and an incoming call interrupted her thoughts.

As she read the caller ID, a frown creased Emmeline's forehead.

It was Adam!

Despite her patience wearing thin, Emmeline decided to answer the call.

She said, "What's the matter, Adam?"

"Did you receive the flowers?" Emmeline immediately wanted to scold him and threw the flowers onto the wall.

"Aren't they beautiful? Women like flowers, especially red roses."
