"Good morning." Emily lifted her head only to see the older woman standing at the entrance of her door, and just then, Emily plastered a smile.
There was no need for the rest of the world to know that she was upset with her husband after he had not come home the previous night.
"Good morning, come on in," Emily ushered the older woman in. In her hand, she held a bouquet of the most beautiful Gardenia that Emily had ever seen before. "Oh! These are so beautiful," Emily said as she took a closer look at the flowers.
"I knew that you would love them as soon as you set your eyes on them." The older woman said this before handing the flowers over to Emily.
"Layla!" Emily called through the intercom, and in no time, Layla had appeared and taken the flowers away. "Here you go, madam," Emily said as she handed the older woman her pay.
"Oh no! This is too much!" she exclaimed, but Emily was not having any of it.
