Experience the Concertmaster's Sensation

Theo was in the midst of overtime work at the pany when Elyse's call came through. Engrossed in reading an important document, he hesitated to answer, not wanting to be interrupted by the phone.

Glancing at the caller ID nonchalantly, his anticipation heightened upon seeing it was

Elyse.

What could she possibly want? Theo's pulse quickened as he picked up his phone. Deliberately allowing it to ring thrice, he finally pressed the answer button slowly.

"Why are you calling?" His tone betrayed no emotion.

Meanwhile, Elyse examined the ruby necklace in her hand and inquired casually, "I received a birthday gift. Did you give it to me?"

Theo was on the verge of confessing that it was indeed from him.

Having purchased the ruby necklace at an auction, he had long intended to present it to her. Yet, he harbored doubts about her acceptance, hence the delay.

Suddenly, it dawned on Theo that she hadn't called to express gratitude but to ascertain whether it was his gift.

Knowing Elyse's disposition, he speculated that if she learned it was from him, she might return it. He responded, "I don't know anything about a birthday gift. You must have mistaken."
