Forgetting You Was the Best Ending novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Lily’s onboarding went smoothly. Her strong work ethic and approachable nature helped her quickly integrate into the Lee Group’s design department.

Yet Lily fiddled with the flowers on her desk and sighed.

A colleague nearby leaned over. “Flowers again? If someone sent me daily bouquets, I certainly wouldn’t sigh.”

Lily handed her two roses. “Hope you find someone soon too.”

Her concern wasn’t the flowers themselves, but that they came from Benjamin–her supervisor. This dual relationship troubled her.

Romance was the last thing on her mind after Victor, and she feared workplace gossip if their connection became known.

“Lily, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?” Benjamin’s message popped up.

She always declined before. But this time, Lily deleted her refusal and typed “Okay.”

He replied instantly. She could practically see his excitement through the screen.

“I’ll book the restaurant. How about Italian dishes?”

“Fine.”

Lily agreed to finally clarify things.

At the restaurant, Benjamin waited early. A waiter seated her as he offered fresh flowers. “Saw you giving away roses today. Didn’t like them?”

Lily inhaled the jasmine bouquet’s fragrance. “The flowers were lovely.”

“And the sender?”

She hesitated before answering. “Benjamin, I don’t think we’re a good fit.” .
