After they chatted for a while longer, Ivan hung up the phone.

Ariana contemplated over this for a long time, but she still couldn't wrap her head around it. She glanced at the time and realized it was already noon. She quickly packed up and headed downstairs for lunch.

When Ariana passed the reception desk, she was suddenly stopped by a colleague.

“Wait, Ariana. There's a package for you here." The receptionist turned, picked up an exquisitely wrapped box from the chair, and handed it to Ariana.

Ariana looked at the package skeptically. She hadn't bought anything recently. How could there be a package for her?

“Who is it from?" Ariana asked the receptionist.

"I don't know. There's no name on it."

Ariana had moved to open the bow ribbon on the box, but her hands paused in hesitation. She didn't know if she was being paranoid, but after Brielle received the chicken head last time, Ariana couldn't help but feel apprehensive about what could be inside.

The receptionist saw her reaction and backed away slowly as if there might be a bomb in the box. She peeked at Ariana nervously, waiting for her to open it.

After taking a deep breath to steady her nerves and mentally prepare herself, Ariana pulled off the ribbon and yanked the lid off quickly.

To her surprise, there was a luxurious lilac dress folded inside. The fabric looked soft and lovely and glittered gently in the light.

The receptionist gasped in delight and exclaimed, “What a beautiful dress!"

Her excited voice caught the attention of nearby colleagues, who came over to see what the fuss was about. They were all surprised to see the dress.

"I know this! This is RVK's latest line, a high-end dress design by Eamon. It's so exclusive that many of the stars of our company can't even borrow clothes from this brand.”

"But this style looks different from the one in their show. Is it customized?"

“It is customized. Do you see the logo? There's an extra flower pattern on it than there was on the dress in the show."

“Customized tailor is expensive to purchase even for the rich. Ariana, who gave this to you? It's amazing."

Everyone was in awe, chattering about it. They were all well-versed in the industry. They studied and told everything about this dress in a matter of seconds.

Afraid of being the topic of gossip, Ariana quickly found an excuse.

"I borrowed it for Sarah."
