Chapter 19: I Need You
Bill gave the vibe of someone who belongs to the military.
The way Samantha greeted the old man, it was evident the two know each other for a long time.
"May I take a look?" Bill politely requested.
"Sure" Samantha flashed her signature sweet smile.
Bill then went around to look for flowers and drop an envelope there.
Samantha stood near Chance to distract him as his gaze was stuck on Bill and he was observing him.
"You need anything else?" She coldly asked Chance.
"Yes, I need you" He smiled at her.
Samantha was shocked when she heard his bold words and reflexively, she looked at Bill but Bill acted like he didn't hear what they just talked about and looked around at various flowers.
"Are you out of your mind?" Samantha softly shouted at Chance trying her best to keep her voice as low as possible, she was already embarrassed with what Chance said in front of Bill and she didn't want Bill to listen more.
Chance could sense Samantha's discomfort in Bill's presence, she was acting like how a daughter would in front of her father if her boyfriend is present there.
He smiled seeing her nervousness.
Chance lowered his volume, "Today come with me for lunch or…"
"Or what? Are you blackmailing me?" Samantha was pissed with him.
Chance smiled at her and shouted, "Samantha, the time we spent in Hawaii… Ahhhh"
Samantha suddenly pinched him to stop his running mouth and Chance shouted in pain.
"Keep your mouth shut" Samantha warned him.
"Have lunch with me or I'll keep talking and that too even more loudly."
Having no choice Samantha agreed, "Lunch but at some food van."
"Fine, I don't care where, I just want to be with you."
Samantha rolled her eyes and he laughed seeing her reaction.
Bill who was ignoring these two was smiling to himself, although his back was facing them, he could sense what was happening behind him and just like he expected this guy seemed to be someone special and not a regular customer of this shop.
Bill silently walked around and dropped a red envelope in vase where there were red roses.
He then walked closer to where they were and pointed at tulips, "Dear, please make a boutique of tulips for me" Bill politely requested and Samantha just nodded her head trying to avoid his gaze, she could feel Bill smile at her meaningfully.
Meanwhile, Chance took a walk around the shop, then he saw something and bent down.
Chance approached Bill, "Sir, I think your red envelope fell down near those flowers." He met Bill and handed him the red envelope.
Samantha who was preparing a boutique was shocked when she heard Chance's words and turned around.
Bill too was surprised as he left the envelope very carefully and it would be difficult for someone to notice it except for Samantha as she has sharp skills and she was habituated to with this system of theirs.
"Sir, your envelope" Chance waved the red envelope in front of him as Bill was in a daze and was not making an effort to take it back.
