He dreamed of becoming a florist, but his earnings barely covered their rent and food.<\/p>\n<p>One afternoon, he offered a rose to Olivia, the daughter of a millionaire attending a business conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don&#8217;t need flowers,\u201d she replied sadly. \u201cI need someone who tells me the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adrian smiled and said, \u201cThen perhaps you need a friend instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Olivia laughed for the first time that day. She returned the next morning, and soon their brief conversations became the best part of both their days.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia eventually learned about Adrian&#8217;s difficult life. She offered to finance a flower shop, but he refused to accept money without earning it.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, she helped him find a small market stall and taught him how to advertise his arrangements online.<\/p>\n<p>When Olivia&#8217;s father discovered their relationship, he accused Adrian of using his daughter to become rich.<\/p>\n<p>Adrian was hurt, but he continued working. He wanted Olivia to know that his dreams had existed long before he met her.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, his little stall had become a successful flower shop. On Olivia&#8217;s birthday, Adrian decorated the shop with thousands of roses and invited her family.<\/p>\n<p>He gave her a bouquet containing a single handwritten note: \u201cYou were the first person who saw my dream before the world saw my success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her father read the note and quietly apologized.<\/p>\n<p>Olivia embraced Adrian, crying with happiness.<\/p>\n<p>At their wedding, Adrian filled the church with flowers he had grown himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Every morning, nineteen-year-old Adrian sold flowers near a luxury hotel to support his younger sister.
