"Nothing, nothing," Benjamin snapped back. He cleared his throat and said, "You look really beautiful. I mean very beautiful."Cordelia stared at him in the eye and said, "This shouldn't be a compliment. I know I'm beautiful. Don't stare much, else I'll gouge your eyes out."Benjamin laughed. Although she looked a bit hard, she was cool. He smiled and said, "Okay, Ms, I won't stare much anymore.""Better," Cordelia replied, and all of a sudden, her eyes fell on the two mini gift bags Benjamin was carrying. "What's that?" she asked, staring at them."Oh, this? Just a gift for your friend celebrating a birthday and a gift for another anonymous person. You'll know later.""Hmm, interesting. You got a gift even though I invited you? Didn't know you'd be this thoughtful. But with the way this bag is small, what could be inside?" she asked.Benjamin smiled lightly and said, "Surprise isn't meant to be known before the main person. You'll know, don't worry."Cordelia nodded. "Well, let's go
"Oh wow!" The ladies couldn't help but admire Cordelia's body structure – the way her dress accentuated her curves, showcasing a perfect blend of elegance and allure. Whispers of admiration filled the air as they exchanged glances, clearly impressed by Cordelia's presence.Hannah, noticing the reactions, couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in introducing her stunning friend. As the compliments flowed, the ladies couldn't hold back their admiration."Wow, Hannah, your friend is absolutely gorgeous! I mean, look at her – she's like a living goddess," one of the ladies exclaimed.Another chimed in, "Her style is impeccable. Cordelia, you've got that perfect combination of grace and charm. It's like you stepped out of a fashion magazine."Hannah beamed with pride as the compliments continued. "I never knew you had such a stunning friend. You're lucky to have her by your side," one of the friends remarked."Thank you all." Cordelia replied shortly. Meanwhile, the only guy among the fiv
Cordelia didn't know what was wrong with Nathan, but she clinked her glass with his as he intentionally hit it harder."Crack!" The glasses shattered into pieces, scattering on the floor, and some wine spilled on both Cordelia and Nathan. The liquid soaked Cordelia's clothes, outlining her shape."Oh my God!" Everyone's attention was drawn to the broken glass and the unexpected turn of events.Cordelia, stunned, stared at Nathan with a hint of anger. Benjamin, quick to react, pushed Nathan away. "What's wrong with you bro? Do you want to injure her?" Heguided Cordelia to sit. He examined her hand, clearing away the glass particles, and asked if she was hurt.Cordelia shook her head, "No I'm not, I'm fine." She replied, assuring him she wasn't injured. Benjamin, without hesitation, took off his shirt, leaving only the undershirt, and handed it to Cordelia. "Wear this; yours is soaked," he insisted.Huh!" Cordelia hesitated, surprised by the gesture. "Thank you, Benjamin, but no, it's
Nathan was enjoying all the attention, a smug smile playing on his lips as he basked in the admiration. Even Cordelia, known for her composed demeanor, couldn't hide a flicker of surprise at the audacity of such an extravagant gift—$5 million for a painting.The entire room was in awe, murmurs of amazement filling the air. Hannah's eyes widened in disbelief as she gazed at the expensive piece. "Nathan, you never cease to amaze me. $5 million? You must be incredibly rich!"The entire room was in awe, murmurs of amazement filling the air. Hannah's eyes widened in disbelief as she gazed at the expensive piece. "Nathan, you never cease to amaze me. $5 million? You must be incredibly rich!"Nathan responded with a humble grin, "Oh, you know, it's just a little something. Money is meant to be spent on things that matter."Cordelia raised an intrigued eyebrow but said nothing. The other ladies exchanged impressed whispers, expressing their admiration for Nathan's apparent wealth.Meanwhile,
Nathan smirked and looked at the small gift bag, mocking Benjamin. "Hannah, I thought he said he was an important person to Cordelia. Look at the size of the gift. Must be something really special in there," he said sarcastically.Benjamin didn't bother avoiding his words and then took the mini cute box inside the gift bag and placed it on the table. Hannah and the other ladies exchanged glances, wondering what could be in the box. Nathan continued, "Benjamin, don't tell me you brought a keychain or a piece of candy. I mean, it's the thought that counts, right?" He chuckled, trying to belittle Benjamin's gift.Benjamin grinned and assured, "Relax, unlike your fake painting, this is genuine." Nathan's smile vanished at Benjamin's remark, bringing a sense of satisfaction to Benjamin. He proceeded to open the box, unveiling the stunning Rolex Datejust—a truly exquisite piece that captured everyone's admiration.Oh heavens!"Hannah and the ladies gasped as the elegant Rolex Datejust re
A gasp echoed through the room, breaking the silence. The revelation left everyone stunned, especially Benjamin, who now faced an unexpected turn of events.“How? How fake? It's not.” Benjamin said stunned. Nathan couldn't contain his laughter, and it erupted in the room like an unwelcome storm. His smugness reached new heights as he looked at Benjamin with a mocking gaze."Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Nathan said, his laughter filled with derision. "Benjamin, it seems your grand gift isn't as grand as you thought. A fake watch to match your fake accusations, perhaps?”The room felt heavy with tension, and the ladies exchanged uncomfortable glances. Cordelia's expression shifted from doubt to surprise, her eyes narrowing at Benjamin. The unexpected twist had turned the tables, leaving Benjamin in an awkward position.Nathan continued his mockery, relishing the moment. "Couldn't even afford a genuine Rolex, huh? Your attempt to expose me backfired spectacularly.”Benjamin
Mom." Benjamin called out happily and then spoke to her. After the call, he happily looked at them and said, "Hannah, try the Rolex Datejust again. This time, not in the normal code checker. This one wasn't bought. It was specially made for my mom as a VIP member."Gasp! They all turned to look at Benjamin; it was like he was bragging. How could the company make a watch, and even his mom is a VIP member? It felt like a lie.Nathan sneered and said, "Oh wow, a specially made watch for your VIP mom? Are you trying to impress us with a made-up story? Nice try, Benjamin, but we're not buying it."Cordelia raised an eyebrow, looking at Benjamin with a hint of doubt. She whispered, "Specially made for a VIP member? Benjamin, are you making up stories to save face?”Hannah, although initially skeptical, asked, "Where do I enter the code?"Benjamin responded confidently, "There's a special code authenticator; enter the numbers there."As everyone eagerly awaited, Hannah entered the code. The
Nathan, feeling victorious, thanked Cordelia with a smile, "Thank you, Cordelia. I appreciate it. I'll message you to finalize the details. Looking forward to our dinner.”Cordelia shook her head, "Don't worry about him; let's not talk about him."Benjamin nodded, respecting her wish not to delve into the topic.Cordelia's attention shifted to the gift box, and she inquired, "Are you delivering this gift to someone tonight? I can drive you there."Benjamin smiled lightly, "Actually, I don't even know what's inside. It was given to me by my mom.”"You don't know what's inside? Then how are you delivering it to someone?"Benjamin didn't say a word and proceeded to unwrap the gift. As the wrapping came off, he opened the box, revealing its contents.Inside the box was a stunning silver necklace adorned with a delicate pendant, catching the light in an intricate pattern that left Cordelia and Benjamin momentarily captivated.Cordelia had noticed the necklace instantly, mentioning its name
