Because of what has happened in recent days, Karl is probably the most tired apart from the person
involved. Sally can't remember how long he hasn't been home. The only thing she is sure of is that he
is basically living in the office now.
Karl is extremely strict or even demanding in academic research. In this era, having such a doctor is
one thing for patients to be happy about. And as someone close to him, Sally feels that he is amazingly
cool.
He has lost so much for his work and medical career. Sally hopes that he can spare time for some
pleasure in life.
Sally persuaded him before. However, now there are some pressing matters to deal with. Anyway, they
have to cross these barriers first.
Sally looks at the man who has fallen into deep sleep. Normally, he will wake up if there is a slight
movement, but now, he is so tired that he cannot even hear her knocking on the door.
She glances at him nodding off over the desk. Suddenly a white hair, like a snowflake in the darkness,
on the top of his head comes into her eyes. She gets closer to him and finds that it is indeed white hair.
She knows that Karl is not that young. But from his young face, one cannot tell his age. Now that she
discovers this white hair, even she is a little shocked.
Her first reaction is to pull out this white hair. However, if she did it, she would definitely wake him up.
But if she didn't do it, would he feel bad when he finds it himself?
For the first time, Sally feels that she is so kind that she will hesitate for more than ten minutes about
whether to pull out his hair or not.
In the end, she decides to cut it off with scissors.
There is no better place than the doctor's office to look for various kinds of scissors. Sally takes out a
small pair of scissors from the toolbar on one side and gently leans over and cuts off the white hair
from its root.
She carefully pinches his hair with her index finger and thumb and throws it into the trash can. After
doing this, she heaves a sigh of relief and can't help but lower her head to scold him in a low voice, "If
you don't take care of yourself, you'll age soon!"
...
When Lily arrives at the flower shop, no one is there. After opening the door, she immediately calls for
the cleaning service provided by the property company.
According to Rex, there was a little girl running the shop with Lily before. But she was a student and
Lily was not there later, so she didn't continue to work in the shop.
Lily walks to the front desk and turns on the computer. There are many documents recording the
guests' information in detail, which are enough to see how dedicated the former workers are.
She opens another folder, which has the personal information of the previous workers. The first one is
Gladys. She must be the girl Rex mentioned who worked here before.
Lily picks up her phone and dials the number. The call goes through after the phone rings several
times. "Hello, is that Gladys?"
When the other party hears this, she politely replies, "Yes. May I ask who I am talking to?"
Lily is relieved. "I'm Lily, the owner of Waiting Florist. Remember?"
Gladys is about to rush to her part-time tutoring class. Hearing this, she is in a daze. After a while, she
exclaims, "Lily?"
"Yes, it's me."
"I remember! How could I forget you?" Gladys says, "You left in a hurry. I felt upset for a long time."
Lily listens to Gladys' energetic voice and her feeling of butterflies dissipates. "At that time, I had urgent
matters to deal with. So I didn't have a chat with you. I am afraid that I will disturb you when I call you
today ... I contact you to tell you that the flower shop has reopened. Would you like to come back and
take a look?"
The flower shop was running well at that time, but Lily suddenly disappeared. Everything related to the
shop was put on hold. Gladys did not understand, but she had to obey the order to leave the shop. In
fact, she felt sad. Now that Lily says that the shop is reopened, she is very happy. "Alright, I'll go to the
tutoring class first. It will take about two and a half hours before I go to the flower shop."
Hearing that Gladys agrees, Lily smiles and nods, "Alright, I'll wait for you. Be careful on the way."
After hanging up the phone, she calls Bennett, who is in charge of attracting businesses. He is a very
experienced businessman in the industry. From the previous record, she had spent a lot of energy to
find him.
However, at that time, she left without saying anything. She thought that it would be very difficult to
reestablish trust. Unexpectedly, Bennett quickly agrees.
Lily measures the time Gladys and Bennett will take to come over, which will be around noon. She
immediately books a private room in a nearby hotel and goes over to wait.
At 11:40 am, Gladys and Bennett arrive at the private room almost at the same time. Lily chooses the
Japanese restaurant. The food is fancy and not hard to eat.
Top-quality sashimi and other dishes are served. Bennett sits in the main seat, rather silent, looking a
little cold. Lily knows the reason, so she breaks the ice and says, "Mr. Yule, I know that you are
unhappy about what happened before. At that time, I was looking for you to help me out of sincerity, but
later on, I had some health problems. I went abroad for treatment for a long time. And I just recovered. I
didn't do that on purpose. Please forgive me."
Bennett thinks that she left because of personal reasons, but he doesn't expect it to be physical
sickness. He wonders what kind of illness is so serious. He has never heard her mention it before.
Lily sees through his doubts and says very obscurely, "My husband is a lawyer. He has been always
accompanying me."
Although Bennett is far inferior to Rex's social status and achievements, he knows something about the
upper circle. He immediately thinks of the case that Rex took to crack down on cross-border smuggling
with the government some time ago. And then he understands.
That big case is entangled with Rex's identity and the movements of the upper. And Lily disappears for
so long. She might be retaliated against by the other party.
Bennett's expression suddenly changes. He looks at Lily with concern, "Are you alright now?"
"It's fine now." Lily smiled, "It's all over. Otherwise, I won't reopen the flower shop again. Don't worry."
Bennett sees that Lily is with complete openness. He finally opens his heart and says, "Actually, I come
here today. For one thing, it's because of my admiration for your husband. For another, I think the
flower shop you run has great potential."
Lily makes a gesture and says, "I'm all ears."
"Although J City is a metropolis in terms of politics and economics with a lot of shops of all types, there
is indeed a market vacancy in the flower shop. There is no high-quality flower shop targeting to the
upper class for the time being. If we make good publicity, we can definitely get a head start." Speaking
of this, Bennett also raises another question. "However, other people also know about our creativity
and positioning. During the period when you weren't around, there were several similar brand showing
up. One of them can be said to be copying our creativity. And its business is going well."
Lily frowns, "You mean the one in the west of the city, right?"
"That's right. You know?"
"Yes, I searched through the consumers' comments and read them all."
Seeing her frown, Bennett is relieved. "But no pressure. There are always tens of millions of shops
imitating the popular one. It just arrives a little earlier. As long as we do it seriously, we will definitely be
more professional than them."
