“Thanks for your hard work.” Meredith maintained her composure. As soon as the young man left, the other women began cheering.
“Wow, isn’t this romantic? By surprise, did he mean Pierre Fowler will be proposing to you in public during the award ceremony?”
“Meredith, open the box! We want to know what is inside! Since it’s a gift from Pierre Fowler, it must be expensive!”
With a dainty smile on her face, Meredith took the box from the table. “That’s not necessarily the case. His choice in gifts could sometimes be a bit weird. Pfft, men.” When she spoke, she kept that sweet smile on her lips.
“Oh, just look at her! I never knew Pierre would give anyone gifts!”
“Although she’s complaining about his gifts, she’s actually showing off her loving relationship to us! Hahaha!”
The group chimed in one after another as they looked at the ring box expectantly. Actually, Meredith was only trying to manage their expectations; she didn’t know what Pierre actually got her, so if it wasn’t that decent a gift, she could at least still save some face.
“Since you want to look at it so badly, I suppose I should open it up.” Meredith then unlidded the box carefully.
“Wow!” As soon as she did so, all of them cried out in unison. Meredith was also having a jaw dropping moment when it was revealed that the box contained an enormous pink diamond.
“As expected of Pierre Fowler! This is mind-blowing!”
“I’ve never seen such a huge pink diamond before!”
“Me too! Pierre is so generous!”
“Yeah! I’m already feeling envious!”
