Lily was stunned to see the rose in its full bloom when she had clearly seen a withered one when it was in Samantha's hand. Also, there was no possibility of any mistake as the basket had only one thing in it, a pink rose. No words came out of her mouth as she kept staring at the beautiful flower which a few moments ago was completely wilted. Her mind went blank and she stood in her place frozen.
Samantha had no idea that Lily was behind her and she continued to do her work until she turned back to pick up the basket. She was startled to see an absent-minded Lily behind her and she jumped in fright. "Madam Lily, you scared me." She accused as she patted her frightened heart with a small pout. But she did not get any response from the old woman.
