Tiffany, wide-eyed and transfixed, found herself standing up involuntarily at the sight of Xander

Isabel watched all of Tiffany's reactions, confident that she did not need to step in; Tiffany was likely reeling with regret by now.

"Are you Xander? How can you be Xander? Isn't Xander supposed to be some ugly brute with a receding hairline?" Tiffany blurted out in shock.

Xander gave Tiffany a brief, indifferent glance that lasted no more than a few seconds before turning away.

"Yes, Boss." Leo promptly retrieved a carefully selected gift and handed it to Xander.

Xander approached Albert, offering the gift with a blessing, "Old Mr. Perkins, happy birthday and may you live a long and prosperous life."

"Thank you," Albert beamed, receiving the gift, knowing anything from the Bennetts had to be of significant value.
