It turned out that Gerald was holding a large bouquet of roses.
When Ariana spotted the roses, she wanted nothing more than to turn and leave.
Why did some people not know how to respect other people's boundaries?
She hoped that the roses weren't meant for her.
The next thing Ariana knew, Gerald was already standing in front of her. He placed the bouquet on her lap right away.
"Ari, this is a gift for you."
Gerald had heard Sienna call Ariana like that, so he decided to copy it as well.
Ariana grabbed the bouquet and passed it back. "Sorry, but I can't accept these flowers."
"Ari, we both came from Harvoria, yet we ended up meeting each other in another faraway country. This is destiny, you know.
"As for the flowers, I didn't give them to you because of ulterior motives. It's just that I think those flowers are a great match for your beauty."
Gerald smiled casually as he told Ariana his reason coolly. He looked very confident, as though he'd always emerge victorious.
