The trio of assistants stood in awe as Maxen sauntered inside Olivia's apartment as if he owned it. But what really caught their attention was the bunch of random flowers tied in a red ribbon in his hand.
The flowers were beautiful, no doubt about that. Six stems of mixed dusty rose and white peony coupled with stems of eucalyptus looked great together and would have made a beautiful bouquet, but the way it was arranged doesn't make the flowers stand out in any way nor give justice to its beauty. After seeing how poorly arranged the flowers were, the trio came up with the same conclusion: the prince was swindled by the florist.
"Is Olivia home?" Maxen asked, sweeping his eyes across the living room then the dining room, and finally the kitchen. He swiveled on his heel to face the trio when he didn't find who he was looking for.
