Beverly Hills is the , go to place for the rich but it was a ray of sunshine for Lindsay.

Lindsay is 26 , a wedding planner and a florist in shop no 5 Beverly hills , her mother owned this little corner store before her.

But sadly she passed away when Lindsay was 12, Lindsay worked part time helping her father keep the store as she continued with school.

When she was 15 her father remarried to Silvia , Lindsay didn't have much of a relationship with Silvia as she mistreated her and always made sure her 2 daughters ( Simon and Ashley) got everything they wanted.

Lindsay worked hard and moved out of her parents house , renting herself an apartment.

Silvia milked her father dry , but Lindsay made sure the store finances were in place , her father had no access to that money the only money he had access to was from his plumbing company.

Simon was getting married soon , ofcourse Silvia wanted discounts on everything but Lindsay didn't waver.

They wanted too much with a small budget and Lindsay only worked around they budget making sure to remind them " work doesn't mix with pleasure ".

This brought a curve between them and her , she was even uninvited to the wedding a month ago.

But Lindsay wasn't worried she knew no one could plan this wedding for them with such low budget.

The wedding was in two days , and Lindsay had gotten everything ready.

Her father and Silvia walked in as she was busy with a bouquet " afternoon sunshine " , " dad " she jumped up hugging him.

Silvia rolled her eyes , " what brings you here? " , " we're here to make sure everything is set for the wedding " , " mhh Gracy had just been to the wedding hall were decorating it tomorrow  " , " good it better be perfect " , Gracy scoffed passing them.

" it will be " , " so Simon needed a favor from you " , " I am listening " , " since we couldn't find the singer she was hoping you could do it " , " no " , " no? " , " yes Silvia I refuse to ".

" but honey..." , " dad I said no , the only person I sang for was mom I don't want to sing for anyone " , " so selfish " , " thanks Silvia,  I would've expected no better response from you " , " you...".

" okay both of you just stop , Sil we can't force Lindsay , I told you this was a sensitive issue to her just let the music play ".

" plus we're not changing anything,  from this moment " Gracy voiced.

Silvia was angry , Lindsay was quiet finish up her bouquet order.

A man wearing all black walked in , " Good Day welcome to our store " , " ow HI,  I called ordering 400 white roses stems " , " right this way " Lindsay leaded him to the counter.

She went to the back and came back with a huge bouquet with white roses " you didn't ask for a note so I didn't write one , but if you want I could add it now " , " no thanks " the guy paid in cash took the roses and walked out.

This was not the first time he has done this every month he collects these flower bouquets same order changing between white and red.

Lindsay packed the money away in the safe and closed it.

" business seems to be good " Silvia voiced " I see you've noticed " , " we're closing soon right let me go to the bank " Gracy voiced.

" good idea , the bank book is in my office " she looked at her father " dad if there's nothing more to say I'd like to help Gracy with calculations " , " sure you coming for dinner today? " , " uhmm no I have orders to deliver " , " okay bye sunshine " he pulled Silvia away.

Lindsay followed them out and closed the door , she went out back and helped count the money and put it in the bags.

" I'll go of to the bank , do you want me to come back and help ? " , " it's okay it's just 3 orders , Luke will pick up the deliveries soon " , " okay thanks for letting me out early,  I know tomorrow is going to be a busy day ".

" it sure will be " , they said they goodbyes,  Lindsay went back to work.

She got a few more customers in and then Luke came " Hey Ms Boss " , " hey Luke 2 deliveries today and 1 last pick up " , " okay " , " you're coming to help tomorrow right? " , " sure am I wouldn't miss the fun plus I could use the little cash " , " thanks Luke I knew I can count on you " Luke packed the deliveries nicely and waved goodbye.

Lindsay was busy with her books waiting for the last customer to come , the door bell rang and she opened up " HI I am sorry I am late " , " it's okay here " Lindsay gave her the flowers and she paid with her card.

The customer walked out , Lindsay packed everything and then closed the store.

She went to the Cafe near her store , getting herself coffee , a slice of cake and a cinnamon bun, she walked to her car and put everything inside.

She drove off home ordering pizza on the phone so it gets there when she arrives at home.

It did just that and she was happy carrying up everything she , got in put everything on the counter took off her shoes and wore comfy shoes poured herself some wine whilst running herself a bath.

She got naked,  Lindsay was really comfortable in her home.

She got in the bath and soaked her body and relaxed , she was going to have a long day the next day she needed this.

Once done she got up dried her body got dressed in her pajamas and walked out , she had her dinner then snacked on her cinnamon bun and attended her online classes.
