Chapter 7 Chapter 7

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."

"Great, see you then."

After he hung up, Kenneth's irritation didn't subside; instead, it grew. He couldn't focus on reading the documents in front of him.

He hadn't expected Angela to be so resolute this time, to the point of cutting off contact with him.

There was a knock on the office door. Kevin entered, holding a document, and said gravely, "Mr. Sinclair, I've just heard that the auction for the land in the east of the city might start earlier than expected." Kenneth was stunned and said with a solemn look, "Notify the project manager and shareholders immediately. We'll have a meeting in five

th was still in the meeting when Jennifer arrived, so Kevin greeted her. "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Sinclair just started a meeting. He asked me to take you to his office to wait for him." Jennifer smiled gently, "Thank you."

Kevin left after taking Jennifer into Kenneth's office, telling her to call if she needed anything.

Once the door closed, Jennifer walked over to Kenneth's desk. She was about to place the invitation. But sh red box on the desk.

Obviously, the box was for jewelry. Jennie, realizing her own birthday was also approaching, wondered if it was a birthday gift from Kenneth After hesitating, she picked up the box.

She reasoned that since it was something Kenneth bought for her, it wouldn't hurt to take a sneak peek.

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.
