Chapter 1969 Make Life Difficult For Her

“Why did you buy this type of flower, Maya? The color is hideous. It doesn’t look fresh, and the meaning isn’t good.” “Sunflowers look toward the sun, representing optimism and hope. Doesn’t it have a good symbolism?”

“I don’t like it. Get me something else!” “What kind of flower do you like then?” Maya asked patiently. Seeing as Janice could not come up with an answer anytime soon, Mabel spoke up from the side.

“She loves ‘Golden Oriole’ azaleas. A flower carrying the word ‘gold’ must be luxurious, which suits her perfectly. Don’t you think so, Janice?”

Janice glanced at her. “Let’s go with that then. It so happens that I love azaleas too.”

Upon hearing this, Mabel let out a short chuckle before adding, “Azaleas are also known for their long lifespans. In other words, they wouldn’t die easily. Such a good meaning. Anyone can tell that you won’t die anytime soon!”

Janice’s face turned pale in an instant. The way she worded it sounded like she was cursing me to die! “Gold azaleas? Got it. I’ll get that.” Maya turned to leave but was stopped by Janice again.

“Don’t buy that! I don’t like it!” Maya turned to face her. “What should I buy then?” she asked with a stoic expression. “Well, get me roses then. Bright red ones. I like that.”

“But they’re a symbol of romantic love. Why not let Nicholas get them for you?”

“As if Nic would have the time to buy flowers for her. You should go instead, Maya.”

“That’s true. I don’t need Nicholas to get them for me. I want them now, so get them for me, Maya.” After some thought, she added, “If you don’t want to, you can have Wilbur deliver them tomorrow.”

Let Wilbur give you red roses? You wish! Even if he were to give them, I’ll be the one receiving them. Why would he give them to you!

“Okay. I’ll go buy them for you.”

As Maya was about to leave, she heard Janice’s voice coming from behind. “Maya, when you’re out buying flowers, buy some perfume as well. It’s quite stuffy here, so spraying some perfume will make it much better.”

The former walked out without saying a word. Mabel stared at her as she left. “Looks like Maya’s not interested in waiting on you anymore. She acted as though she didn’t hear you, not even bothering to reply,” she commented.

“I don’t care if she replies or not as long as she brings back what I want.” “What if she refuses to get them?”

“I have my ways of getting her to do so!”

“The precious daughter of Evan Seet being ordered around by you like a maid. If the Seets find out about this, what will they think, I wonder?”

“What will they think? I lost my child because of her. Shouldn’t she do some things for me to express her gratitude? If her family finds out about it, they should also approve of her repaying this debt of gratitude!”

Mabel scrutinized her. The more magnanimous Maya is, the more demanding Janice gets. Indeed, the kindest person always gets bullied. If this continues, I wonder if Maya will get fed up and retaliate? Her expression just now already shows that she’s losing patience.

Meanwhile, after Nina had dinner with Stephen and returned to Imperial Garden, she inquired about Maya, “Is Maya not home? What is she up to now?”

“Ms. Maya slept until noon and left after a hurried meal, Ms. Nina. She received a call during lunch. Someone seemed to be hurrying her. It also seems that she went back to the hospital again.”

Back to the hospital again?

Nina froze for a moment before taking out her phone to call Maya. At that moment, the latter had just reached the florist. She answered the call. “Where are you, Maya? Why aren’t you back yet? It’s so late.”

“I’m not coming back tonight, Nina.” “Why not? Are you at the hospital?”

“They need me here. I’m keeping Janice company. Have a good rest, Nina.”

In a hurry to buy flowers, Maya hung up the phone immediately after that. Nina, on the other hand, grew increasingly worried the more she thought about it.
