Then, she answered, “Thanks for the thought. Where are you bringing me, Mr.
Hayes?”
“These are my favorite flowers. You’ll know where we’re going once we get there.”
It may have been because of the flowers, but his tone toward her became even more
polite..
Samantha was speechless. Who would ever give their own favorite flowers to
someone else?
Of course, she knew how to read the room, so she didn’t comment out loud.
Even if they weren’t able to work together, she didn’t want to offend him.
He was a dangerous character, and it might bring too much trouble to her.
Conrad didn’t want to explain, and she didn’t probe further either. She observed the
flowers in front of her.
She also snapped a couple of photos when she felt like it.
Conrad watched her every move. He assumed that she truly liked the flowers that he
gave her.
Because of that, he started to have good feelings toward her.
He stopped the car at a manor in the suburbs. When they got out of the car,
Samantha realized why Conrad liked this place.
It was an extensive area where champagne roses were planted. It was just like a
champagne rose garden.
In the middle of the garden was an independently built house. It had white–colored
walls and brown roof tiles.
There was also a white windmill in front of the house.
Its style was heavily European–influenced.

“These flowers aren’t from here, are they?” Samantha began twirling her hair as she breathed in the light scent of the flowers and soil.
She was quite pleasantly surprised. It had been quite a while since she felt as relaxed as she was now.
She could only completely loosen up when she was in such a place that was so close
to nature.
She didn’t know that his original plan was to bring her to a restaurant for a meal.
But, once he saw that she had been mesmerized by the flowers in her hands, Conrad changed his mind inexplicably.
He considered this place to be his private property. It was the first time when he had the urge to bring someone else here,
The caretakers of this place were an elderly couple from Arqueland–the Casseys. They were very surprised at Conrad’s arrival.
They welcomed them warmly into the house.
Samantha had completely eased up and became more daring.
Conrad was the one who brought her here. Instead, she took the initiative to interact
with the Casseys.
The Casseys were very easy–going people, but they had a different amount of
respect for Conrad as he was their employer.
She found out from the couple that Conrad specially hired them to look after this
garden.
She was even more impressed to find out that Conrad was the one who personally set up every flower, every fence, and even the house that they were living in.
Rather than getting the feeling that he was a sinister man, Samantha felt that this
was his authentic self.
Conrad left Samantha in the house. She helped the elderly Arqueland couple
prepare dinner.

On the other hand, Conrad was walking in the garden. From time to time, he would pluck out some weeds with his own hands.
“If it were you, I’m sure you would be as happy as she is, right? You’d like this place even more than she does,” he mumbled.
After all, he had built this place according to her dreams.
When dinner was ready, they urged Samantha to look for Conrad.
Initially, she wanted to tell them that she didn’t know Conrad that well.
However, she inferred that she was within their territory, so she gave in and came out to look for him.
She found Conrad among the flowers behind the house. He was sleeping on the ground.
There was a pond in the middle of the garden behind the house. Surrounding the pond was some empty land.
Evening dew had already begun to form on the flowers.
Even so, Conrad couldn’t care less and was just lying on the ground. His clothes had become damp from the moisture.
She deduced that he probably was a man with a backstory.
At least, that was the thought that came to mind when she found him.
“Hey, did you fall asleep? It’s dark!” Samantha called out as she bent down beside
him.
