Kenneth felt a flicker of anticipation as he glanced at his phone, but it quickly turned to disappointment when he saw the caller ID.

It was Jennifer calling. Her cheerful voice came through as soon as he answered. "Kenneth, my grandfather's birthday is coming up. My parents have tasked me with delivering the invitations. Are you free later? I happened to be passing by the Sinclair Group: I can drop off your invitation and have lunch together."

Kenneth responded indifferently, "Okay."

Curiosity won over, and Jennie opened the box to find the necklace Kenneth had bought at the Nebulora auction.

She had asked him who it was for, but he hadn't answered. Now, she realized it was meant to be a surprise for her.

Her mood lifted, and she smiled, placing the box back where she found it.
