After a long pause, Jeffrey suddenly asked, “Any upcoming parties or social events?”

“No,” Stanley replied, perplexed. “Why?”

Jeffrey absently rubbed his phone and didn’t reply.

“You never cared about these things before,” Stanley pressed.

“Is next Wednesday the exact 10th anniversary of PrimePlay Technologies?” Jeffrey asked, recalling the information he had casually glanced at and thinking of an idea.

Stanley, who had a clearer memory of such matters, replied, “Yes.”
