Saturday Morning 🌸

As usual, Max visited the flower shop on Saturday morning to buy flowers. But today was different—Pete, who always recommended flowers for Max, was surprised when Max suddenly asked for Baby’s Breath.

Max: I’d like the same amount of Baby’s Breath as the other flowers I usually buy.

Pete: So🙄... you don’t need my flower recommendations anymore ?

Max: Umm… Pete, it’s not like that. This morning, before I came here, I was googling flowers that still look beautiful even when they’re wilted. I found a picture of Baby’s Breath, and it looked stunning—even when dried. Please don’t be mad 😶.

Pete: No need to be so tense, naa 😆. I’m just messing with you. It’s nice to see you putting effort into learning about flowers. At least now, I won’t have to waste all my energy explaining every single flower in this shop 😅.

Max: You’re being so mean to me lately. Does this mean I should start looking for a new flower shop for my café’s decorations 😌 ?

Pete: Heyyy… I’m just joking! If you stop buying flowers from my auntie’s shop, she’ll be really sad 😅.

Max: Well, I only remain your regular customer because I don’t want your auntie to feel sad 🙄.

Pete: Baby’s Breath comes in many colors. What color would you like to take back to your café, Mr. Max 😅 ?

Max: Pete, stop it. Don’t call me that. I think I’ll take Blue and Red.

Pete: Wowww… Blue stands for Loyalty and Red means Romance. Who are you trying to impress at your café 🤔 ?

Max: I'm trying to impress my customers 😌.

Max arrives at his café with all the Baby’s Breath flowers he just bought. He starts his morning by arranging them on the café tables and decorating the windows with the delicate blooms.

Chris: Boss, are you okay ?

Raff: Yeah, Max, are you alright ?

Max: Why are you both asking me if I’m okay or not 😶 ?

Raff: It’s just… you haven’t been talking much lately, Boss.

Max: You’re overthinking it. I’m fine 🙂.

Raff: It’s not just Chris and me—everyone working here can sense that something’s different. You’ve been really quiet.

Chris nodded in agreement with everything Raff said to Max. Normally, their boss was cheerful—someone who always brought a positive vibe to the staff.

Max: I'm sorry for making you all worry. It's just that a lot has been bothering me lately.

Raff: Max, we’re always here if you need someone to talk to.

Max: This isn’t something you can help with. It’s... complicated.

Chris: It’s okay, Max. Don’t force yourself.

Raff: Yeah, don’t push yourself—but if there’s ever anything you want to share, especially the things that are weighing you down, we’re here for you, Boss 😊.
