“Of course, we know her! Victoria is super popular now,” the youngest-looking guy said.

“Yeah, Victoria is a total badass!” another young man chimed in.

Jackson turned to Victoria and introduced them one by one from left to right. “Vickie, these are my friends. This is Chand Tate.

“This is Cason Workman.”

“This is Lennon Horne.”

“And this is Kellan Hammond.”

As Jackson introduced his friends, Victoria glanced at each of them in turn and nodded.

Chandler and Kellan were the ones who called her “Jackson’s wife.” Cason and Lennon were the ones who called her “Jackson’s girlfriend.”

After memorizing their names, Victoria set the gifts she’d brought on the table and smiled. “Hi, I’m Victoria Binder. Jackson’s fiancée. Nice to meet you all. Just a little gift for everyone, hope you don’t mind.”

“You brought gifts? Victoria, you really didn’t have to!” Chandler said, but he was clearly excited as he took his gift.

The other three eagerly grabbed their gifts as well. When they opened their gift boxes, Chandler was totally stunned as he looked at his gift. “Victoria, is this a USB drive shaped like a heart monitor?”

Victoria nodded. “Yeah, that’s right.”

Chandler held it in his hand, marveling. “Victoria, you’re amazing! Where did you manage to find such a quirky little gadget?”

Cason’s gift turned out to be a book. He picked it up and read the cover, “The Essential First Aid Handbook, hardcover edition?”

Kellan, still unwrapping his own present, glanced at Cason’s book and joked, “Looks like Victoria thinks you’re working yourself to the bone, Cason! Time to hit the books!”

Cason put on a serious face. “Don’t worry, I’ll study it like my life depends on it.”

Lennon, meanwhile, was staring at an acupoint chart featuring a cute cartoon version of himself, lost in though Chaudier burst out laughing. “Victoria, are you hinting that Lennon should start focusing on wellness?”

Kellan finished unwrapping his gift and held up a pair of compression socks. “Victoria, are you trying to tell me something Before Victoria could explain, Jackson jumped in, “Vickie’s all about practicality. She always picks gifts you can actually ther

Chandler laughed. “You got that right.”

After handing out the gifts, Victoria asked curiously, Tin really curious, how did you guys meet Jack?”

To her surprise. Lennon was the first to speak. His voice was deep and gentle, every word clear and articulate

“We went to the same high school. I was the only one he didn’t outscore by more than thirty points on every midtermand final, Lennon said, pausing to shake his head with a wry smile.

Everyone started hooting and hollering, and Chandler dramatically covered his eyes. “Come on, you two, get a room!”

While everyone was teasing them, Victoria quietly traced circles on Jackson’s palm with her fingertips; he flipped his hand and caught hers, holding it firmly.

Jackson’s thumb gently rubbed the pulse at her wrist, making Victoria feel a tingling warmth that traveled straight from her wrist to her heart.

Just then, the door to the room was gently pushed open, and a waitress walked in with a friendly smile, holding two exquisite menus. She asked softly, “Are you ready to order now?”

Jackson smiled and replied, “Yes, thank you.”

Victoria looked pretty relaxed. She waved her hand and said, “I don’t have any special requests, just go ahead and pick whatever you like.”

One of them joked, “Victoria, if you say so, we’re really not holding back!” With that, the four of them started flipping through the menus, checking out all the options.

While everyone was busy picking out dishes, Victoria’s phone suddenly rang on the table. She glanced at the caller ID; it was her mom, Daisy.

Victoria answered, and her mom’s anxious voice came through right away. “Victoria, I know you’re out with Jackson, and I really didn’t want to bother you, but I just don’t know what to do! Your dad’s assistant just called me and said your dad was taken away by the police!”

Daisy’s voice was shaky, clearly choked with tears, and Victoria’s heart clenched. Still, she forced herself to stay calm and reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ll go check things out at Binder Medical right now. Just stay home and wait for my update, alright?”

Hearing that, the four who were about to order paused, turning their attention to Victoria. Jackson picked up on the trouble right away; his expression darkened as he realized something was up with Victoria.
