Josh asked, “Do you think the gifts are sufficient? Should I buy more? Maybe I should get her thirty handbags so she can choose a different one every day for a month.”
“Oh, I should also get her clothes, skincare, and cosmetics. I wouldn’t have realized I was getting her too little without your reminder,” he added.
Josh retorted, “Get lost, showoff!” and then abruptly hung up the phone.
All Josh had done was order Jasmine a bouquet of flowers. Meanwhile, Zachary overshadowed him with the extensive Valentine’s gifts he had prepared.
Josh was tempted to criticize Zachary as he imagined Serenity receiving a staggering nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine roses, multiple jewelry sets, a villa, a car, and numerous handbags while Jasmine was only getting a single bouquet.
It was Valentine’s Day, not a wedding. Why did Zachary have to go all out with the presents? Would he do the same for International Women’s Day?
Reflecting on this, Josh realized why he remained single while Zachary quickly became a happily married man—it was Zachary’s tendency to go overboard!
Even though his best friend had hung up on him, Zachary was not the least bit angry. He believed he could do even better with the gifts.
Today was the day he planned to be completely honest with Serenity, and he wondered how she would react.
That’s why he felt the need to stock up on presents; perhaps they would help lessen her anger.
Zachary hoped everything would go smoothly. Keeping himself busy, he left the hotel with his security team to spend some money.
Meanwhile, Serenity was still unaware of the situation and had just finished tidying up her shop. After a relaxing holiday, work was now keeping her busy, and her back was aching.
“We finally got the place cleaned up. The students will be back in school soon,” she thought.
“Jasmine, have you had a chance to find out which study materials we need to watch for? We should order from the supplier before it’s too late.”
It’s not as if the supplier can provide immediate delivery.
