When Jane returned to the entrance of the workplace, her previously cheerful colleagues seemed to notice something was wrong and looked at her with concern.
Jane, did you have a quarrel with him? Dont be mad.
He brought all those roses to apologize.
Give him a chance! Exactly, Jane, youre so lucky, but you dont even realize it.
A boyfriend like him is one in a million! Jane kept a neutral expression and said quietly, Stop crowding around.
Get back to work.
Her strong photography skills gave her a respected voice in the magazine office.
The younger colleagues listened to her, reluctantly returning to their desks, looking disappointed.
Wendy, who was the closest to her, tugged on her sleeve and asked softly, Jane, can I ask for just one rose? I saw his car was full of flowers, and even prepared a vase.
Jane felt a headache coming on.
Ill buy you one myself later.
I wont let your vase sit empty.
Back at her desk, she was still distracted and irritated.
She tried to process some photos she had taken earlier, but her phone buzzed.

Rather than nightgowns, they looked more like lingerie.
The designs revealed far too much, leaving little to the imagination.
Moments later, the messages were all deleted.
Hailey.
[Sorry! Sent it to the wrong person.] Jane turned off her phone and shoved it into the drawer.
They both knew Hailey hadnt sent it to the wrong person.
She did it on purpose.
It wasnt until after work that Jane retrieved her phone and turned it back on.
There were no missed calls.
No texts.
No WhatsApp messages.
Nothing.
Before, if she didnt respond for more than half an hour, Tom would call her nonstop or rush to the office to find her.
Now, he didnt.
Her Twitter feed notified her of a new post.
When she opened it, the scene was all too familiar The black Cullinan, filled with vibrant red roses.
Hailey was holding a large bouquet, standing in front of the car with a radiant smile.
The caption read: [Thank you, my love.
This is the best birthday gift Ive ever received.] Oh, so, today is Haileys birthday, thought Jane.
Everything in the car had been prepared for Hailey.
After work, Jane didnt feel like going home.
But Toms mother, Linda Howard, called her, worried.
Jane, why are you working so late these days? Its not safe for a young girl like you.
Ill have Tom pick you up.
Jane no longer wanted to ride in his car.
Neither the passenger seat nor the roses belonged to her anymore.
Theres no need, Linda.
Ill take a cab home.
Alright then.
Stay safe, dear.
Jane hailed a ride and returned home, only to find Tom and Hailey already there.
Hailey was dragging a large suitcase out of her room.
Jane, youre back! Jane was instantly furious.
Who gave you permission to go into my room?
