“Are you feeling okay? If not, I’ll have a doctor take a look at you,” Yannis said as he drove Zinnia home, his concern for her lingering.

Even though they’d only been in the car for a few minutes, he felt relieved he’d asked about the smoke.

“Nah, I’m fine. I wasn’t exposed to it for long, so I feel okay,” Zinnia reassured. She held her breath most of time when she in the previous car. After parking, they took the elevator home.

After changing her shoes, Zinnia stood there expectantly and said in a playful tone, “Yannis, you promised to make fish for me today–and I want barbecue too.”

Yannis neatly put her shoes away in the cabinet and said, “I haven’t forgotten. Go do your homework for a bit. It’ll be ready when you’re done.”

Still holding the sunflower, Zinnia asked, “Let me arrange the flower first. Do you have a vase here?”

“There are some in the storage room. Pick whichever you like,” Yannis said, taking off his light jacket and leisurely rolling up his sleeves.

“Those are all antiques. And you’re telling me to use them for arranging a flower?” Zinnia looked at him in disbelief, seeing how dead serious he was.

Yannis had a storage room filled with rare antiques and collectibles, each worth anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions, or even tens of millions of dollars–and that was only a fraction of his collection.

It was said that in the Perkins residence, he had a basement vault housing even more valuable treasures, where even the cheapest vase could be worth millions.

But now he was telling her to take one of these treasures as a vase. Just imagining those exquisite antique vases in Yannis’s collection took her breath away.

Zinnia had a weakness for beautiful things–be it people or objects. Just gazing at them lifted her spirits.

“Why not? These vases are all quite beautiful–I thought you’d like them. If none of those suit your taste, I can have new ones delivered,” Yannis said in a leisurely tone.

“Yannis, I might break them,” Zinnia said worriedly. ‘His things are way too expensive–I couldn’t even afford to pay for one of them if I broke it,’ She thought.
