There was a hint of confusion in Suzanne's eyes. This couldn't be right. He wouldn't send two bouquets in a single day, would he?
With the earlier experience, she didn't need to ask. She picked up the pen and signed her name.
The delivery man gave a polite nod and left.
Everyone looked at Suzanne, filled with envy. Was it the same person from this morning again? This pursuit was getting pretty intense.
Suzanne pulled out the heart-shaped card attached to the bouquet and opened it. The words leaped off the paper.
[Suzanne, this bouquet is for you. May every day be as joyful and bright as these flowers. —Jenson]
Her expression darkened instantly, making her look as if she had swallowed something disgusting. Was Jenson doing this just to disgust her?
She stood up quickly, walked over with the flowers in her arms, and threw them straight into the nearby trash bin. The card followed.
Everyone watched in stunned silence, their curiosity deepening.
It was clear now that the sender wasn't the same person as the one from this morning.
When Suzanne got the flowers this morning, she looked genuinely happy. But now, she was acting like a completely different person.
Even Macey was startled by her reaction. To respond like this—how much did she hate the sender?
But this whole scene was also witnessed by Seline. Her brows furrowed as a bad feeling suddenly rose in her chest. She walked over to the trash can and happened to catch sight of the writing on the card.
It was Jenson!
Jenson had sent flowers to Suzanne! So, the bouquet from this morning was from him too, wasn't it?
She had never received this kind of treatment.
At that moment, something in Seline snapped. Almost instinctively, she shouted, "Suzanne, you—"
Everyone in the design department turned to look at Seline.
The curse caught in her throat, seemingly choking her. Her anger surged so wildly that it felt like she might pass out.
In that case, that news online about Jenson heroically rescuing her… Did that mean the two of them had already been involved for some time?
A collective gasp rippled through the group. They had just stumbled onto something huge.
They couldn't stop themselves from glancing over at Suzanne. But she remained calm, quietly focused on her work.
Lillian's face turned even uglier. She had assumed those rumors were something Suzanne had deliberately stirred up. But now, it seemed they were real!
What made Suzanne so special? How the hell did she end up being the one pursued by Jenson?
The way everyone looked at Suzanne changed. One by one, they returned to their seats. No one said a word, and the mood of the entire office dropped to rock bottom.
Suzanne didn't care about any of it and focused on her work.
After picking up on the shift in the office, Macey went to take a glance at the card as well. One glance was enough to make her eyes go wide in shock. She looked at Suzanne but said nothing. She just quietly returned to her work.
What a day! It was one surprise after the other.
