Chapter 74- Men Deserve Flowers Too
I looked at the note several times then looked at the door contemplating if I really wanted to do what my mind was telling me.
I looked at the note again which read;
‘ I know I haven't been a good boss but from now on I'll try to be better, please forgive me and let's start all over and you can still call me Ariana,’
I still can't believe my eyes that on the table was a bouquet and a perfume my boss sent to me as an apology. What if this was a trap and she was trying to see how easily I forgive her?
But what if it's not and she has really changed?
I don't know if I'm out of trend but seriously do women send men flowers? I find the action really cute.
Finally deciding to stand up, I took the flowers and bag as I walked out of my office.
I knocked on her door and I heard her telling me to come in.
I pushed the door open and walked in but she wasn't looking at me as she busied herself with work, her eyes on the screen.
“ Give me a minute," she said.
Okay this is definitely new, because whenever I entered her office and she was busy on her screen she'd ignore me until she was done with what she was doing.
“ I'm sorry about that," she said as her eyes finally met mine before looking at the bouquet and bag I was holding.
“ Oh, you've received it, so do you accept my apology?" She asked as my eyes looked at the flowers and then her.
“ Miss Miller there's really no need for you to give me this, I find the flowers cute though, never knew men get flowers too women should do this often," I said and she laughed.
She had a nice laugh, the only laugh I have heard from her is her evil laugh whenever she was promising to make my life a living hell.
“ It's just a symbol of my apology, I know I'm not the best, you know I'm not going to go soft on you right but I know within me that there were a few things I did to you the I shouldn't have,"
“ A lot of things," I corrected and she laughed.
“ Okay a lot of things, but from now on I'm going to be the best boss and those words I made you say to my grandpa wouldn't be lies again," she said.
I looked at her eyes trying to see if she was lying but I found nothing. Miss Miller was a very unpredictable woman she could have that innocent look in her eyes but be planning your misery but you wouldn't even be able to tell.
" You're not kidding right? You're not tricking me?” I asked and she shook my head.
" I don't know how this sound but it took me almost dying to realize you're a good man and I've been nothing but a bitch,” You got that one right. I thought but didn't say that out loud but I had a feeling my face was speaking out loud.
“ So you're saying you're not going to turn on me tomorrow or the next or anytime soon," I asked and she shook her head.
" But I've told you I won't be so nice every time, so you know,”. She warned.
" I can deal with that, well thank you for the flowers,” I said as I brought the flowers to my nose.
“ And the perfume, I should really get back to work," I said with a smile before turning to walk to the door.
“ I can't believe a woman gave me flowers," I whispered to myself before walking out the door and returning to my office.
I dropped the bouquet and then took out the perfume and sprayed a little on my wrist and smelt it. It wasn't anything short of my expectation, it smelt really good.
Wow this is nice.

ARIANA'S POV
I don't know why he was making such a big deal out of the fact that I gave him flowers, he seemed genuinely shocked and I couldn't help but chuckle at how cute he was.
I think men also deserve to get flowers too.
I couldn't help but chuckle as I got back to what I was doing before he walked in.
I looked at the designs sent by all our interns as I decided which one of them would take the prize.
To encourage the interns to take their internship seriously I had asked their coordinator to ask them to make any jewelry design and send it to her and then she had it sent to me.
I didn't tell her what it was for, I just wanted them to put their effort into it without thinking of any prize.
I know that if I told them there was a prize a lot of them would have done way better than this but this was what I was looking for. Someone who could put their best into something without caring if there was a prize or not.
They all did wonderful but they weren't unique designs so I haven't seen the prize worthy design I was looking for. I kept changing pages looking for that perfect design until I finally found it.
As I looked at the design in front of me I couldn't help but smile, you could see the effort that this intern put in it from the way it was so detailed and believe me it was a simple yet elegant design and it was perfect.
Well, we have a winner.
I looked at the name below the design and it was Harrison Grey.
I don't know how it was possible but looking at the name Harrison triggered a memory.
In my mind I heard the voice of a kid telling me his name is Harrison, Harrison Grey.
What was happening to me? Why was I suddenly having flashbacks? Flashbacks I couldn't remember where it happened.
Who is Harrison?
For my peace of mind I have to see who this Harrison Grey is.
