Florida

Glory carefully parked her car at a corner in the orphanage.

" Ms Glory, why are you here again? " The Dean asked in disbelief. Immediately he caught sight of her, so he hurried towards her to send her out.

Glory has remained persistent about using the flowers in the orphanage. Because of the constant rejection from the Dean. The theme that was supposed to be used last week was pushed to next month, but the Dean still gave her the same reply. This was her fifth time coming here. She wasn't any close to giving up until her request was granted.

" My dearest Dean,why don't you want us to negotiate on this matter? Look how about we donate all the money we earn this week to the orphanage, hmm" she said, acting cute before the Dean.

The dean seemed frustrated over her constant nagging. " Ms Glory, I already told you that I am not selling these flowers to you." He was afraid that if that person finds out he would withdraw himself and find another orphanage to sponsor, then what will become of the children's hare?.

" Mr Dean, I brought lots of gifts for the children, and I will do more for them. Please just help me this once." she pleaded, pushing out a finger to indicate once.

" No, miss Glory, thanks to the gifts the children are grateful." He said, signaling some of the grown-up kids to come take the gifts inside. Glory watched her gifts being carried on with a big smile." I really can't be of help to you, Miss Glory ", the Daen said, once the last bag had been taken inside.

The smile on her face disappeared and she inwardly glared at him, but outside she was still cool and collected.

"My dearest Dean, how about you giving me the contact number of that good guy?" she winked at him.

" You may now leave Ms xia, what you are asking for is really impossible." although he remained adamant about rejecting her, but once he turned to leave the hand inside his pant pocket came out and a piece of paper dropped. He didn't look back as he hurriedly walked in.

Seeing this, Glory slowly bent down and picked it up. She continued with her acting. "My dearest Dean, please help me this once, just this once huh, dear Dean, Dean! Dean!! Dean!!. " She gave up. Dejection was written all over her beautiful face as she turned to unfold the paper. On it were neatly written numbers. "This must be the good guy's number." she was overjoyed as she hurried towards her small white car.

Boss, we are close to the orphanage. Should I drive in ?" Tony asked.

Xavier always drops by the orphanage whenever he feels depressed, but he never goes in ,he will stand. In front of the gate.

".. .."

He didn't say anything, so Tony took silence for a no as he decided to drive, but the silent man in the back seat suddenly spoke.

" Go in ". This was where Lilac grew up, so he had to pay her a visit.

Tony was about ,when a call came in. " Tony speaking." he immediately introduced himself to the caller.

" Mr Tony, good day, I'm Glory Martinez, please can you help me with some of those white flowers at the orphanage?." Glory was very happy that she was able to get the donator's number, so she couldn't wait to call. She went straight to the point. Tony was stunned, he thought it was someone from the organization who had an idea on how to get Judith out of jail but it was actually a stranger.

" The Dean must have given you a reply to that, ma'am. My response is also the same. Those flowers are not for sale." Immediately he said those words, the man who had his eyes shut suddenly flapped them open.

" That Dean must have taken my words for granted," he coldly said.

Glory, who had been rejected, was very furious her last chance had just been used up.

"What nonsense!, even a guy is acting hard to get." she glared at the phone in her hand.

She drove out of the orphanage.

Meanwhile, a black maybach was driving in. Xavier just subconsciously turned, only for that familiar face to appear again.

" stop the car! "

He suddenly yelled, thinking that they were under attack. Tony reached out for his gun, but before he could stop the car, his boss had already jumped down running after a little white car.

Xavier ran to the front of that car with his hands open, seeing someone appear from no where. Glory suddenly stepped on the break.

The angry sound of tires scratching the floor could be heard, trying to control her breathing. She looked up at the person in front of her car. She had almost killed someone just now. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, his eyes were filled with fear and disbelief, but it was not what almost happened, but he was looking straight at her as if he had just found his missing treasure.

"Ah it hurts, she yelled. Her head was spinning, she placed her hands on both sides of her head. It hurts. I can't take this pain anymore." she cried as she started grasping for air. The temperature inside the car became unbearable.

Knock, knock " Lilac, open the door, little Flora, please open the door." Xavier, who had just recovered from the shock, was desperately knocking on her window pleading to be let him in.

She stole another glance at the man outside and somehow she felt that he was harmless. She slowly reached out to whine down the glass, seeing that he could now reach out to her. Xavier opened the door and embraced her.

his sudden action made her push him away." Let me go, my head hurts " she said. Xavier quickly let her look at her neck and there it was the necklace. " My Flora, it really was you. I gifted that necklace to you, I made it myself,all the 24 stars I painted and carefully placed them myself."

Seeing that he recognized her necklace, she gently asked "You know me?"

" Yes, your name is Florida. I call you Lilac because of your love for the flowers. I thought you were gone and would never come back to me again, my Lilac." Tony watched his boss from behind. For the past five years he had never seen him like this, so the woman who made him like this was back now. What would happen to a lady at home?

" Although I can't remember you, you must be the person you have been looking for all this while " she said.

" What, what are you talking about, you can't remember me. Look at me very well Flora, you still can't remember me? Glory started at him but she couldn't remember him. All she knew was that the empty space that had been in her heart was suddenly filled up on seeing this person .

" Forget it, Tony, open the car." he ordered, and Tony immediately jumped into action, but when they got closer to him, he suddenly said " wait a minute! "

" What is it? " Xavier inquired.

" Nothing boss,my mistake ". Tony was not stupid. If the boss finds out that the result of his investigation on Madam's friend which he asked him to destroy was about this lady and that he would have found her a month ago, then his head would surely be dismembered from his body.

' But what will become of the madam now? The woman who made the boss like this is now back and she happened to be her best friend. No no ...don't think about her. No matter how pathetic she appears, she doesn't deserve to be pitied .' Tony thought to himself.'

" Ah!" , she exclaimed. Xavier thought that she was worried about her car, so he smiled at her." Don't worry, I will send someone to pick it up for you ", he assured her,

" No, I need to tell my sister that I've found the person I was looking for. "Of course, she wished to tell the world, but her bestie came first.

" Okay, whoever it is, I need to thank her for taking good care of you. In fact, invites her to join us for dinner tonight and send her the address immediately." He found his Lilac,so he was really happy. He felt like a new person , the emptiness inside him was no more .

At the hospital, Clara was sitting in front of her doctor, as she handed her the result of her test.

" Congratulations, ma'am, you are four weeks pregnant " she said, smiling.
