He spoke with the tone of someone superior, and the clerk instinctively looked around, then came over holding a bouquet: "This is ninety-nine roses, symbolizing a long-lasting love. When your wife sees it, she'll surely understand your heartfelt intentions."
Brandan looked at the bouquet of roses.
Symbolizing a long-lasting love?
He never really studied roses; when he used to give them to Viola Harris, he always had his assistant order and send them directly. This was his first time actually buying roses to give to a woman.
Brandan took the bouquet, nodded: "Let's go with this one then."
After paying, Brandan carried the roses to the car. He turned his head to look at the roses on the passenger seat, wondering if Iris Harris would understand his heartfelt intentions.
He wasn't even sure if she liked roses.
Yet despite this, he couldn't help but anticipate Iris Harris's reaction when she saw the roses.
Would she be happy, or would she be upset?
