Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 596 – Candid Shots.
Plant World was a four-story building. The first three floors featured a white outer wall and transparent windows. The penthouse was made up of glass. The lush plants could be seen from outside. They entwined with each other and looked beautiful.
Lucia followed Darnell into the courtyard. The flowers and trees on both sides caught her attention. She marveled, “What kind of cactus.
is this? I’ve never seen it before.” Jarious cacti, prickly pears, and nopales of different sizes lined the cobbled road.
Some even bore yellow flowers. They were quite different from those pot plants. Jarnell chuckled, “Let’s go inside. There are more rare plants.”
ucia smiled and gladly followed him inside. As soon as she got in, she was stunned by the scene. The entire floor was filled with all kinds.
of plants. In the center, there erected a big, lush tree. A flower bed sat beside it. The plants had different sizes and shapes. Some were emitting a faint fragrance. Some were sitting on the tables. Others were planted in pots. They were chic and rare. she marveled, “Spectacular!”
Jarnell smiled at her and selected a table. After they were seated, he handed the menu to her and said, “Take a look and order whatever
you like.” She nodded, took the menu with various plants painted on the cover, and opened it.
All the drinks inside were named after plants. It was quite innovative and meaningful. soon, a man came over and greeted Darnell with a smile, “Look who we’ve got here. You didn’t tell me about your visit.” Je turned to look at Lucia and asked with a smile, “Who is this beautiful lady?
She looks unfamiliar to me.”
Darnell smiled and introduced, “My friend, Lucia.”
Lucia looked up at the man who had a round face. He looked quite kind and
hospitable. Without waiting for Darnell to introduce him, the
nan reached out his hand and said, “Nice to meet you. I’m Calvin, Darnell’s
comrade-in-arms.”
she smiled and shook hands with him. “Nice meeting you.”
Calvin asked enthusiastically, “What would you like to drink?”
she casually ordered one of the popular drinks. “I’d like to have this one.”
“Same as always.”
‘Okay, got you.” Calvin hammered Darnell, “Man, it’s been a while. Let’s have a
couple of drinks together another time.” ‘Sure, we will,” Darnell smiled. Calvin
took the order and headed to the counter. Only then did Lucia notice that he was
limping. Darnell saw it and explained, “Calvin is my comrade-in-arms. He got
injured in an operation and became like this. His leg can’t be
healed, and he didn’t want to drag us down, so despite his regret, he quit, came
back, and opened this store with the solatium.” Lucia’s eyes were tinted with
dismay. She looked around and said, “It takes a good-natured person to open
such a store.”
Darnell smiled, “We were on a mission in Espurg and spent a month in the
jungle. This guy was fascinated with plants. Opening such a
store then became his dream.”
She listened to the story and had a tender feeling. She looked around and asked,
“But don’t the plants from different climatic zones.
require different growing conditions? How did they grow together in one place?
Moreover, they’re growing indoors. Can they live without
sunlight?”
“You are inquisitive.” Darnell smiled and pointed to the tubes above, “See those
tubes?”
She nodded.
“In fact, the concept of indoor gardening emerged a long time ago. Some people
did the research for many years and figured out this way
of absorbing ultraviolet rays and solar energy through the ceiling made of special
material and such thin pipes. Then the plants will
survive the climate. For plants from different climate zones, partitioned
management is practiced. Those rare plants are in different
compartments pstairs and not down here.”
Lucia understood the situation. “His passion for plants is plain to see.”
Darnell nodded. “He is running the store more for his interest than for profits.”
Just then, Calvin came back with a tray, put the two drinks down on the table,
and chatted with them for a while. Someone called for
service at the counter, and he hurried over. Lucia looked up at the loveable guy
and curled her lips. She withdrew her gaze but met
Darnell’s eyes.
She smiled, “This place is nice. Thank you for bringing me here. I’ll bring over my children
another day.” Unperturbed to hear that, Darnell took a sip of his drink and said, “It’s good
to nurture their love for nature at an early age.” From another table, Jeanne and Shelia
were peeking through the gaps of the dense plants. From time to time, they snapped
pictures.
Calvin came over, saw their behaviors, and pulled a long face.
“What are you two doing?”
Shelia was startled and hurriedly put her phone away. Unperturbed, Jeanne smiled, “The
plants here are special. My friend and I have never seen them before. Is it fine that we
take some pictures?”
As calm as a cucumber, she raised her head, looked him in the eye, and showed him a
picture of the plants. Calvin looked at them and then at the picture.
His face softened. “Turns out you were taking pictures of the plants. You were sneaky just
now, and I thought you were snapping pictu
of others.”
Jeanne smiled and glanced at Shelia. “We didn’t. My friend acted like that because she
thought we couldn’t take pictures here.” “I see. Sorry about the mistake.” Calvin smiled at
them and walked away.
Jeanne rolled her eyes at Shelia and whispered, “It was all your fault. Can’t you act more
naturally? You almost gave us away.”
She looked in the direction that Calvin left and pulled her friend, “We should leave now.”
The two of them then slipped away. Calvin went around before walking back to Lucia and
Darnell’s table. Smacking his lips, he said.
wonderingly, “I saw two girls snapping pictures of you. I wonder if you know each other.”
Darnell wrinkled his eyebrows. “Snapping pictures?”
Calvin nodded and said without looking back, “Three o’clock.”
Darnell frowned, darted a look over, and whispered, “No one is there.”
