"All my husband knows is to give me trouble," Mindy joked. "Romance is dead to him."
'Is this from Jack?'
Hearing what she had said, Rachel lowered her head in embarrassment.
Fortunately, Mindy was a perceptive person. Seeing that Rachel wasn't ready to talk, she patted her arm. "I'll go to work now, Rachel."
She glanced at the bouquet of flowers once she arrived in her office. After searching the flower's meaning on the Internet and glancing at the card that was attached to the flowers, she snorted and dumped them into the trash can.
Apology? Forgiveness?
There was no need for that.
Jack walked back and forth in the office. Sometimes, he would sit down and tap the table incessantly as he glanced at the clock from time to time. After waiting for two hours, a part of him wanted to see if his phone was broken.
'Didn't she receive the flowers?'
He took a deep breath and called her, only to reach a dead end.
At this point, he knew for a fact that she must've blocked him.
"Mr. Fu, what would you like for lunch? I'll get some take-out."

There was music, French cuisine, flowers... All he was waiting for was the hostess.
Jack sat on the sofa and watched TV as he waited for her. He didn't expect that she wouldn't return till late at night.
He tried calling her, but her phone was turned off.
Rachel yawned and took out the key to open the door. The light emanating from the TV caused her to squint.
She glanced at Jack's stiff figure. His gaze was dull as he stared at the television screen.
'What's his problem?
What happened?'
Different questions entered her mind. A part of her wanted to look, but she quickly withdrew herself once she stepped forward.
Rachel coughed and went upstairs.
Jack glanced at his watch and found that he had been sitting there for a long time. He looked up at the second floor where the lights were turned on, and he slowly walked up.
