When Moira came to her senses, she found herself holding flowers in her left hand, a gift box in her right hand, leaning against the door of the room. She felt a bit foolish.

With a sheepish expression, she quickly set the bouquet of roses aside and placed the gift box on the vanity table, freeing up her hands to rub her face.

'No way, did Barclay just kiss me? Barclay kissed me because of Valentine's Day! Does this mean he might have a tiny bit of feelings for me too?' she wondered.

Moira couldn't contain the surge of excitement at the brief but enchanting kiss she had just experienced.

Her long-neglected phone screen lit up continuously, and she glanced at it blankly for a moment before gathering her scattered thoughts and picking up her phone to check the WhatsApp messages. Juliet: [Didn't you say Barclay was away on a business trip?]

Juliet: [Did Barclay specifically come back just to celebrate Valentine's Day with you?]

Juliet: [Why aren't you replying?]

Juliet: [I get it now! I won't do this again next time. Please ignore me!]

Moira felt helpless.

Apart from Juliet bombarding her with messages, Cynthia had also sent her a message, but compared to Juliet's, the content of Cynthia's message was like night and day. Cynthia: [Babe, did Barclay prepare this for you?]

Cynthia: [I don't mean anything else, but isn't it a bit perfunctory?]

Moira felt a bit shy. [He was actually on a business trip and came back specifically for this.]

Moira even felt a bit proud of herself.
