Little Maybelle - The Flower Shop, "Eden" - 6:45 PM - November 21 - Raining - Closing Hours
Inside the office of Eden's owner, a distinctive sullen mood could be felt. This was further enhanced by the falling rain which showed no signs of stopping anytime soon. There was no need for a psychic or a very emphatic person to take noticed of that. Calanthia leaned onto her chair with her eyes closed as she tried to ease her nerves after reading the irritating e-mail that was sent to her. She had made it clear that she did not want to be dragged into matters that were no longer her concerns. On the day that her brother died, she had ceased to care for anything else not related to her current career as a botanist and florist.
Releasing a soft sigh, Thia slowly opened her eyes of ash mauve. They had returned to its usual calm countenance. It seemed that the sudden outburst had never occurred to begin with. During this state, she reopened her laptop and immediately erased the said e-mail. She had also taken the liberty to block the e-mail address of the one who sent her such a nonsensical message. After doing so, she glanced at the wall clock once more to see that it was 15 minutes before 7 in the evening. From the sounds of the falling rain, there was no chance that she could leave the Eden without having a few scuffles with the current weather. She was about to release another sigh which was to show her frustration. However, the sound of a knock interrupted her do so.
Murmuring softly to herself, Thia exited her office and went towards the main doors of her shop. She wondered if an employee of hers had forgotten something. It was not hard to think that way as it had happened a few times. Although, they would have rather chosen to enter than have the courtesy to knock. Keeping herself wary especially when she had received that e-mail, she did not want to be taken surprised as of now. Slowly approaching the doors, she peeked behind the windows to see her guest. There was nothing wrong in being too careful. It was then she saw the familiar face of a regular customer of hers which instantly sedated her concerns. As a result, she opened the doors and greeted with her usual gentle smile. Although, she has a bit of concern. After all, it was quite a dreary weather and she was certain it was common knowledge that stores like hers were usually closed at this time of hour. So, she had concluded that there must some kind of important matter needed to be discussed.
"Good evening, Mr. Vogel. Is there something wrong? Before you answer that, please come inside."
Thia ushered the young son of the Vogel family inside her store along with her driver. She did not want both of them to catch cold. After doing so, she offered them to take their respective seats. In the process, she also took the opportunity to serve them a pair of steaming hot chrysanthemum tea along with towels to dry themselves. She had already prepared them beforehand as she had foresaw that she would be staying inside her store for quite some time. When the common courtesy was all done, she took a seat which was opposite of Cecil. She looked quite stunning with her pale gray Merino ruched turtleneck sweaterdress which reaches just a few centimeters above her knee partnered by a pair of black wedge booties to complete her look. It complemented her figure as her curly black locks were put into a half ponytail style as it cascaded around her face like gentle waves. Overall, it was not too much to say that she was a beauty to behold in her own right.
"So... what's the emergency that you would need to come to my store at such a time and weather? You are a treasured customer of mine. I would not like to see you ill or hurt if I could help it."
Asking with a sense of concern, Thia looked at those blue eyes of Cecil with her ash mauve eyes. She waited patiently for the answer to her inquiry. It was not like she did not want him inside her store. Actually, she was quite grateful for his presence right now. It helped her to take her mind off such unwanted matters. Furthermore, she seemed to be perpetually trapped in the store for the duration of the night unless the rain stops. So, his companion was well-appreciated. Even if she appears distant in her dealings with people, she still likes their company from time to time. After all, no one truly wants to be alone in the end which includes her.

"Who could that be? A guest at this late hour..."
