Chapter 666

Elizabeth disliked these persistent buyers most of all. She hung up immediately. Now Felix should understand what Elizabeth meant.

Elizabeth quickly drove back to the research institute. The security guard at the entrance stopped her. “Elizabeth.”

“What’s up?” Elizabeth walked over.

The security guard brought out a bouquet of flowers and said, “Elizabeth, a gentleman sent you these flowers. Please check them.”

It was a large bouquet of pink roses. The winter was already quite cold, and the snow hadn’t melted yet. These pink roses looked even more pristine. They were quite beautiful. Elizabeth could smell their fragrance even from a distance.

If these flowers weren’t from Alexander, she might have kept them and put them in a vase.

“These flowers are really beautiful,” the security guard praised.

Elizabeth took them, thanked him, and then immediately threw them into the trash can. She then sent a message to Alexander: Stop sending me flowers. I don’t like them.

Seeing Elizabeth’s smooth actions, the security guard was shocked. He had intended to sit down, but now he was standing at the door, not knowing what to say. He pondered, ‘Elizabeth’s action was so decisive; she didn’t even look at them before tossing them away. How much must she dislike the person who sent the flowers?’

As soon as Elizabeth entered her office, she received a reply from Alexander: [What flowers? I didn’t send any.]

Elizabeth sat down, stared at the message, and replied: Pink roses. Already threw them away.

Alexander: [I really didn’t do it.]

Elizabeth didn’t reply to Alexander’s message anymore.

After looking at some data, she felt something was off. Lure. He wouldn’t be so… persistent in sending her flowers, would he? Besides, he wasn’t the type to continue flattering someone after being humiliated, even the current Alexander.

Elizabeth quickly picked up her phone. Meanwhile, Alexander sent another message: [Elizabeth, maybe you should ask if Ivan sent them?]

Elizabeth looked at Alexander’s message and suddenly felt a bit awkward. Then she didn’t bother with him and decisively sent a message to Ivan: [Did you buy me flowers?]

Chapter 666

Ivan: You’re back? I did buy flowers and went to the institute to find you, but the guard said you weren’t there, so I left them.

Elizabeth was momentarily devastated. No one told her those pink roses were from Ivan!

Elizabeth: [Why didn’t you tell me?]

Ivan: [I wanted to surprise you, but it seems the surprise failed. And it was awkward. But it’s okay. You got them, didn’t you? How are they? I carefully selected them. The first snow of winter and pink roses; I hope you like them.]

Elizabeth felt like she was the one who was truly embarrassed! She didn’t know how to reply to Ivan. She pondered, Should she tell him she mistook them for Alexander’s and threw them away? Then Ivan would be very sad! But she did throw the flowers away.

Ivan: [I’ll send you another bouquet next time, in person. Is that okay?]

Elizabeth looked at the message. Although he wasn’t in front of her, she could almost feel his sincerity.
