White Flower
Chapter 1 - Suspension Flower
Professor
You disappointed me again today.
Professor
This time, you almost committed a huge commotion here in our school in front of Mr. Howard.
Professor
A disgrace...one of my most trusted and reliable student in White Wings University has disappointed me in front of a founder of Citrine Corp!
Joshua Grey
Mr. Hedils, you know that I'm not the one who started the situation!
Professor
I've heard enough of your excuses, Mr. Grey.
Professor
... There's nothing else I can do but to SUSPEND you for 3 weeks from school.
Joshua Grey
But Mr. Hedils!--
Joshua bows his head down as he walks like a zombie on the roadside not looking what's before him and bump every person that passes beside him. He doesn't care about their bad intention on him.
Joshua Grey
(The cloud's gloomy)
Professor
You're suspended!
Joshua Grey
That cr*zy Eliot! Reporting some false accusations to Mr. Hedils so that I'll banish from his sight!
Joshua Grey
(He planned this from the beginning, didn't he?)*groans...
Joshua scratches his head then suddenly, a scent of a fragrant perfume went inside to his nose.
He followed the scent of the perfume until he stops in front of a store with full of different flowers. It wasn't that far enough for him to walk.
Joshua Grey
(The scent has faded away when I arrived at this flower shop.)
Female Florist
Welcome to Flowers Forever! Tell me sir, which of these flowers caught your attention?
Joshua Grey
Do you by any chance have a Lily?
Female Florist
Lily? Sorry to say, our Lilies have been sold out since yesterday by some couple and that is because they will put them in their wedding design.
Female Florist
But the restocking will arrive at this afternoon.
Joshua Grey
(My nose must have sent me at the wrong place...) I see...
Man
Lilith, there's some flower that I forgot to spray.
Female Florist
What flower, sir?
Man
Could you please pick up the tulip from the corner of the window for me?
Female Florist
Sure! Wait a sec.
Female Costumer
Excuse me, can I have some of this Dahlia bouquet?
Female Florist
Sure ma'am! Let me wrap it up for you.
Female Costumer
Oh, and please put some little daisies to make it unique!
Joshua Grey
(I've been banned to stay at my dorm due to that incident and my parents might be home at this hour and I know it'll be the end for me to go back. No choice...)
Joshua Grey
*Cough...can I help you with your work for a while, Miss? I can also wait for the backorder of your lilies.
Female Florist
...That would
be helpful!
Female Florist
Then please give THAT tulip over there to Mr. Felix inside.
Joshua picked up the tulip and entered the shop without hesitation. His face is covered by the flowers so he barely can see the front.
Joshua Grey
Should I put this on the table, sir?
Man
Ah, I'm sorry to make it difficult for you, but thank you. Please just put it down.
Joshua Grey
Aren't you gonna
spray it?
Felix Kingston
... Sorry, child
but I'm blind.
Chapter 2 - Absorbing Flower
Joshua Grey
Ouch! Ouch!
That stings!
Felix Kingston
*Sigh... Child, stop making weird noises, my hand is shaking because you keep grumbling there.
Joshua Grey
I can just treat that myself because it's also my fault for being a bigot.
Felix Kingston
That's nothing. I know you're shock to know my situation back there.
Female Florist
Oh my, what happened while I was out?
Joshua Grey
I-I'm sorry, I dropped some of your pots...
Felix Kingston
Lilith could you clean up the mess on the ground, please?
Joshua Grey
A-Ah, let me do it!💦
Felix Kingston
Child, stay put. You still need a cover for your wound on your legs.
Joshua Grey
It's no big deal. The wound isn't that big!
Female Florist
It's okay. You're not a worker here at the shop, either. Just go get some bandage on the first aid closet.
Felix Kingston
Child. From how your tone is spoken, you must be on your 20s.
Joshua Grey
Correct. I'm 23 years old, and I have a name!
Joshua Grey
It's JOSHUA GREY!
You can just call me Josh for short, so please stop addressing me as Child because I'm not a kid.
Felix Kingston
There's no need to shout. I'm not deaf, just having a loss of vision.
Joshua Grey
(My bad...)*cough*
Joshua Grey
(Would you look at that face. He must be at the same batch as me. No, maybe my senior.)*leans head closer.
Joshua Grey
(So perfect like a model. Man like him really exist here!)
Felix Kingston
(He's silent...)
Felix Kingston
Are you still there, child? *raises his hand.
Joshua Grey
Y-yes yes!*step back.
Felix Kingston
...Your face.
Felix Kingston
(Did he try to look closer at me?How...)
Felix Kingston
It's warm.*soft smile*
Joshua Grey
Hmph, I wont fall something cheesy from a nobody... *blushes a little*
Felix Kingston
Felix Kingston.
Felix takes out his card from his picket and gave it to Joshua.
Joshua Grey
Felix Kingston...
Joshua Grey
(3-33 YEARS OLD?!)
Joshua can't believe what he saw. He looked twice at the man then back to the card. He's confused.
Felix Kingston
Is there something wrong with the card?
Joshua Grey
Ehem,no. Not at all.
Felix Kingston
Sir? Haha, just call me Felix. You're flattering me.
Joshua Grey
Don't teach me with disrespect. *Disgust look*
Felix Kingston
Call me anything as you like.
Joshua Grey
How can you let someone you didn't know well to call you anything?!💢
Joshua Grey
What if I'm a crazy girl and I might call you...
Joshua Grey
...b@B¥...*mutters*
Felix Kingston
That would be okay.^^
Joshua Grey
Y-Y-Y-You you!💢
Joshua Grey
(Lecher pedo!)
Chapter 3 - House to Rent
Joshua Grey
After that, I told him that I'm not gay and ran away from that store.
Nick
He didn't ask for your number before you left, right?
Joshua Grey
Tsk. Even if he asks me for that, I wouldn't dare give it to someone I don't fully trust. ESPECIALLY to someone who's a pervert.
Aubriel
First you call him a pedo, now a pervert. You're something to describe people, Josh.
Joshua Grey
Whatever...*looks outside the glass window*
Aubriel
This café is so good to stay in for a gathering, don't you think?
Nick
*Nods* Yes yes.
Also, a special place for a date.*points his finger on the girl*
Aubriel
Your mind is full
of attraction.😒
Joshua Grey
By the way, do you guys have a room for one person to stay at your house?
Aubriel
Full pack of siblings.
Joshua Grey
*Sighhhhh....*
Aubriel
Eliot is the cause all of this.
Nick
Can't say no. A son of Chief Financial Officer cannot be against with a lowly like us.
Aubriel
It can't be possible if he blackmailed Mr. Hedils in the first place.
Nick
Tch, they think money can only solve over to their jealousy.
Waitress
Honey mustard chicken salad with bacon,sir. And one hot latte for ma'am?
Nick
This'll lessen
the stress!🥄🤤
Joshua Grey
Wipe your mouth.
Nick
Why do you always drink lattes in the afternoon, Brei?
Aubriel
No appetite to eat. *sips latte.
Joshua Grey
*Scrolling on
his phone.*
Nick
Mmm... Finding a place to rent?
Joshua Grey
I can't just go back home letting my parents know about my current situation or else they'll pull out a rage in a whole.
Aubriel
I can imagine how your parents acts, so I agree with you there.
Nick
Mr. Grey isn't that horrible as what you think.
Aubriel
You never know... *grabs the fork and ate the bacon.
Aubriel
There's no name on it.
Nick
Y-You said you have no appetite to eat!💢
Joshua Grey
Minimize your voice.
*Continues scrolling his phone.
Joshua Grey
(This one's cheap.)
Aubriel
Ooh, how nice of that.
Joshua Grey
Right? It's also cheaper than the others.
Nick
How can someone rent their house with only that amount of price?
Joshua Grey
The interior design is good. It's rated 5 stars and has good feedbacks from the previous tenants.
Aubriel
Talk about luck and coincidence, huh.
Joshua Grey
(Hm...the outside looks familiar. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before but I couldn't remember.)
