Lilian was genuinely touched. That feeling of shared suffering—only those who had been scolded by Morrison could truly understand it.
"Thank you, Sean."
After saying thanks, Lilian reached out to take the box of snacks. When she saw the brand was her favorite, she couldn't help but smile and ask,
"Sean, how did you know I like this brand of snacks?"
Sean casually replied,
"How would I know? It was the boss who bought them."
That one sentence made Lilian freeze, the box still in her hands.
Sean immediately realized he'd let something slip and felt awkward. Lilian promptly shoved the box back into his hands.
"Sorry, Sean. If it's from him, I can't accept it."
Lilian thought to herself, What's going on? I got yelled at like crazy this morning, and now someone's sending me snacks in the afternoon?
Besides, they were broken up now. She didn't feel right taking anything from him anymore.
Sean grew anxious.
