Karen couldn’t help but recognize Jeffrey’s knack for smooth talking.

Opening the trunk of his car, Jeffrey revealed a bounty of gifts for Karen’s parents.

Peeking inside, Karen was struck speechless.

Skincare products and fine wine were one thing, but bringing a solid gold ornament as a first-time gift to meet the girlfriend’s parents?

“You’re going to scare my parents with that,” she chided.

Jeffrey’s style of gift-giving was extravagant to the point of suspicion. Anyone would wonder if Karen had struck it rich or was hiding some scandalous secret.

“What should I bring then? I’ll go buy it now,” Jeffrey said, clearly inexperienced in this personal matter.

At Lopez Corporation, he was used to throwing his weight around, not currying favor with gifts.

He had no precedent for what to give when meeting a girlfriend’s parents. He’d never gotten this far before.
