Jinwei woke up to the sound of her alarm. She went to get ready for work again at the flower shop. She walked to the living room and took the bunch of rose that has yet to bloom and brought it with her to her work place. She got the bus and everyone gave a weird look. She just ignored it and put on her earpiece, blasting Shawn Mendes Treat You Better. 

She alighted at the stop she needed and walked a short distance to the flower shop. She unlocked the door and put her bag behind the counter.

*Did he go to a new shop to buy the roses?* She thought. She tried to shrug off the uneasy feeling and went back to work.

26th of April, still no appearance of the young man. Jinwei's curiosity was killing her but what could she do? She is not even related to that young man. She sighed behind the counter as she refilled the spray bottle with water.
