To avoid getting into trouble with Colbert, Eudora smiled coyly and said, "Well... Could you please get up? I need to go outside to get something."
It was quite a coincidence.
It just so happened that Eudora met Lance on the day of her birthday.
Of course, she probably would have completely forgotten about her birthday if Colbert had not come over suddenly and reminded her.
Even though Colbert was upset, he got up and asked Eudora to get out of bed to open the door.
"Hi, Ma'am, here's your present."
A server stood at the door and handed a mysterious gift to Eudora.
The gift was beautifully packaged in a white box adorned with a black and gold ribbon that was tied into a bow.
Eudora closed the door and muttered, "What did that guy get me? He's being so mysterious about it."
She hated surprises because they were prone to frighten her.
As Eudora turned her head, she saw Colbert leaning against the wall with his arms folded, watching the gift box in her hand with great interest and waiting for her to open it.
Eudora licked her lips, feeling as if she couldn't prove her innocence without opening the gift box.
"Don't worry. I'll open it right now, so you can take a look at it."
Eudora walked to the table while she spoke, placed the box on the low table, slowly unwrapped the ribbon, and lifted the lid of the box.
Filled with curiosity, she peeked at the contents of the box. However, when she caught a glimpse of what was inside, she blushed a little and immediately put the lid back on.
She was as quick as lightning.
Colbert walked over, sat down on the couch, and leaned forward while keeping his eyes fixed on the white gift box. He questioned with raised brows, "What is that great gift that you're hiding from me?"
"Hehehe, it's nothing much."
Eudora smiled obsequiously and pouted again in a coquettish manner before saying, "Girls like keeping their gifts a secret, so you're not supposed to see the gift I've received from someone else."
Although she was wearing a smile on her face, she was cussing in her head.
She thought, "Screw you, Lance Campbell! What have I done to you for you to set me up like this?"
