The bodyguard was worried that he might break what was inside.
Mike thought about it and Chad smiled. "It's fine. Just open it."
The bodyguard took a deep breath and pried the box open to reveal a cardboard box inside.
"Ivy, you can open the cardboard box yourself!" Mike said.
The servant handed Ivy a pair of scissors, and Ivy carefully cut the tape apart.
Even with the cardboard box opened, the interior was still concealed by a layer of yellow fabric, and the contents under the yellow fabric were wrapped in a layer of foam.
Ivy handed the pair of scissors to the servant and picked up the fabric-wrapped item. "Is this a microphone?" She had not taken the item out from its wrappings, but she could feel the shape of the item.
"Yeah! Take it out and have a look!" Mike smiled. "I had it made for you."
Ivy pulled the microphone out and was instantly blinded by its golden color.
"It's gold! It's a microphone made of gold!" She thought and panicked, knowing that it must have cost a fortune, and she could not bring herself to accept such an expensive gift.
"There's a platform. " Mike took the platform out and said, "You can place the microphone on it and display it in your room.
"Uncle Mike, I might not be a TV host forever."
"Hahaha! I suppose I can show you first." Mike picked up a gift box and revealed a glorious pair of heels that fit the description of fairy-tale glass slippers perfectly.
"Your sister is getting married soon, and I thought that these would go well with her wedding dress. Of course, she might have better-looking shoes," Mike explained.
"It doesn't matter if she wears them at the wedding. I'm sure she would love these."
"Are you going to be her bridesmaid?"
"I haven't decided! I want to, but Layla has her own friends. Besides, their wedding is going to be the center of attention, and even the bridesmaids would be in the spotlight as well… Layla told me to consider it, but she said that she will understand if I decide not to be her bridesmaid."
