With an excuse handed to him, Jeffrey took the opportunity. “Alright.”

He’d been worrying about what he’d do if Mr. Hanson couldn’t get in. He couldn’t just leave him sitting alone in the villa for hours, after all.
“Thank goodness,‘ Gregory thought.
‘Ms. Jensen really is the best!‘ he added to himself.
“Ian, that jerk, told me to bring you this gift,” Jessica announced once they reached the living room. She dug a fancy box out of her bag and gave it to Rebecca. “He wants you to put it on, then I have to snap a pic and send it to him as proof.”
“Huh?” Rebecca blinked, looking confused.
‘That seriously doesn’t sound like something he’d say, Rebecca thought to herself.
Jessica shot her a knowing look, raising her eyebrows.
Rebecca got the message instantly.
She kind of thought it was silly, but hey–when your best friend asks, you do what she says.
She popped open the slick box, and there it was—a gorgeous necklace, glimmering with tiny diamonds, the pink diamond in the pendant so pretty it made her heart skip.
“He designed it himself,” Jessica said, looping the necklace around her neck. Then she added, her voice soft and serious, “He also wanted me to tell you–no matter what changes in your life, you’ll always be our princess.”
Rebecca looked down at the pendant, twirling it between her fingers, a soft smile blooming on her lips.
She totally got what they were saying.
And she knew he really did care about her.
“Alright, let’s snap a pic,” Jessica said, pulling out her phone.
Rebecca struck a pose for the camera, all smiles and totally cooperative.
Gregory felt a wave of anxiety watching this, sneaking a glance at Jeffrey from the corner of his eye.

Looked like the rival was trying to provoke Mr. Hanson.
‘Mr. Hanson is probably mad,‘ Gregory worried to himself.
