The day after Holly Sawyer’s birthday, Diana Curtis invited Holly out, and Holly gave Diana the address, letting her co over on her own.
Holly changed the water for the sunflowers with extre gentleness and calmness. They were flowers given to her by Leo Grant, and she intended to care for them well.
When Diana arrived, she saw Holly fiddling with the sunflowers and was a bit puzzled.
When did Holly start liking sunflowers?
"Boss."
Diana walked in and glanced around. The villa was empty, with only Holly present.
Holly: "Mm."
After fussing with the sunflowers for a while, Holly poured Diana a glass of milk, "Have a cup of hot milk."
"No water?"
Diana blinked in surprise. Isn’t it customary to serve water or tea to guests? But here with Holly, it’s hot milk instead.
"Just heated."
Holly glanced at Diana, her tone indifferent.
Diana: "???"
"Have you had breakfast?"
Holly had gone to bed late last night and had just woken up, so she hadn’t had breakfast yet.
Diana: "No."
Holly: "What do you want to eat?"
"Are you going to cook it yourself?"
Diana looked at Holly, her eyes sparkling with a hint of anticipation.
Holly’s cooking skills were quite good, perhaps because she had a fondness for food. Holly had studied culinary arts and was quite knowledgeable about cooking, although she didn’t often cook herself.
"You still have ti for a nap."
Holly took bread out of the oven and placed it in front of Diana, speaking slowly.
Tsk, she was just politely asking. She didn’t expect her to have so many demands.
Diana: "???"
She asked her what she wanted to eat again, and it seems it was just a polite inquiry without any other intentions.
"Boss, here’s your birthday gift."
Diana took out a small box from her pocket and presented it to Holly like a treasure, with a flattering smile on her lips.
"Thank you."
Holly didn’t stand on ceremony with Diana and opened the box directly. Inside was a pair of stud earrings shaped like rabbits, made of silver.
"What’s this supposed to an?"
Holly raised an eyebrow, looking at Diana with a half-smile, a dangerous smile curling her lips.
"They’re beautiful, don’t you think, Boss?"
Diana blinked, looking at Holly in a flattering way.
"Do I have pierced ears?"
Holly gave Diana a sidelong glance and closed the box.
It’s not important whether the gift is valuable or not, nor whether it’s pretty. Its practicality is not that important either.
However, Diana knowing she doesn’t have pierced ears yet giving her stud earrings made Holly really want to hit soone.
Heh.
"You see, stud earrings and hoop earrings are so pretty. You could get your ears pierced."
Diana looked at Holly flatteringly, and then took out her phone to browse through various earrings on Taobao.
They’re all very pretty.
Girls all like these little things, and Diana is no exception.
"Oh."
Holly responded perfunctorily, lacking interest.
She wasn’t very interested in those things, although she did think they were quite nice looking.
"By the way, Boss, was your birthday yesterday celebrated by Young Master Grant?"
Diana blinked, resting her chin on her hand, looking at Holly with a gossipy expression.
Hmm, she was dying of curiosity to find out a bit of gossip.
She had been curious the whole day yesterday since Holly’s birthday was ntioned to Leo Grant, who would definitely celebrate it for Holly, which is why she hadn’t asked Holly out for her birthday.
Holly nodded: "Yes, it was."
"How did he celebrate for you?"
Diana blinked with a face full of gossip.
Dying of curiosity.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Holly raised an eyebrow and looked at Diana speechlessly.
Seriously, how she celebrated her birthday seed unrelated to Diana, really.
"Wow, the bracelet on your wrist, was it given by Young Master Grant?"
Diana’s gaze shifted to Holly’s hand, and she blinked with a gossipy expression.
Hmm, she rembered Holly always had bare wrists, not liking to wear any accessories.
They had given bracelets and bangles, but those seed to be things Holly stored away, never seen her wear them.
Holly didn’t deny: "Yes."
Diana moved her face closer to Holly, exuding a gossipy aura.
Holly: "..."
What’s wrong with her?
"So you ca here just to ask this? Sorry, I’m rather busy, no ti to pay attention to you."
Holly rolled her eyes at Diana speechlessly, eating her breakfast, not intending to engage with Diana.
"No, no, I have actual business."
Diana coughed lightly and instantly beca serious.
Oh, although she ca with so gossip motives, she did have business matters.
"The people at the headquarters are all clamoring to give you a belated birthday celebration."
"They knew you wouldn’t check, so they specifically sent to tell you."
Holly spoke word by word, her expression serious.
Yesterday Holly surely received many birthday greetings, but based on Holly’s habits, she’d likely swipe through them without bothering to check.
In Holly’s view, her birthday might not be very significant, but to those at The Pantheon, Holly’s birthday is extrely important.
"Birthdays co every year, not necessary to celebrate them annually."
Holly shook her head, expressing her opinion. On her birthday, the people from The Pantheon would go all out to celebrate, very grand.
But Holly always felt simple is good, as long as she knows their intentions.
"Then Boss, you tell them yourself."
Diana shrugged, feeling quite helpless.
Whatever she says won’t matter.
Holly might not realize this, but Diana knows because she’s close to Holly. Holly’s feelings for Leo Grant are different.
Since Leo Grant celebrated her birthday, Holly was surely happy.
Holly nodded, "Okay."
She took out her phone to explain in the group chat and promised to let them celebrate her birthday next year, providing them the address, concluding the matter.
"Boss, I want to seriously ask you a question, and I hope you’ll answer seriously."
Diana lightly bit her lip, took a deep breath, and looked at Holly with seriousness in her eyes.
Holly indifferently: "Go ahead and ask."
"What exactly are your feelings towards Leo Grant?"
Diana asked.
Holly’s plan was unexpected, and she intended to leave quietly.
"...Like a brother."
Holly hesitated slightly; he should be like a brother. If not, why would she care about Leo Grant?
"Do you still plan to leave him as originally planned?"
Diana asked again, observing Holly’s eyes very seriously.
"...Yes, I will leave."
Holly hesitantly affird, her lips curling slightly.
Will she?
She didn’t want to.
"Boss, you’re hesitating."
Diana pointed out Holly’s hesitation fearlessly.
