With Jennifer's words, Ariana cast her gaze down at the box in her lap and her features finally relaxed.

With a satisfied smirk, Jennifer noticed Ariana's change of expression. She was grateful for her talent of being able to craft convincing stories, particularly one about a lonely man with a difficult life.

She didn't think it would be difficult to evoke Ariana's empathy.

Ariana hesitated for a moment before holding up the box and asking Jennifer, “Why does this involve you? Does Holden really need you to do something as small as giving me a gift?"

Jennifer took a moment to come up with a reply before feigning tears and responding, “It's not just a small matter. It's very important to me. Holden's mood has a significant impact on the entire BRD Group."
