“I don’t know, either,” the receptionist answered, shaking her head.

Sonia was silent for a couple of seconds before saying, “Alright, I’m coming downstairs now.”

 

After she hung up, she kept her cell phone away and hobbled toward the elevator in crutches while Daphne followed behind her.

When they reached the reception desk on the first floor, Sonia asked, “Where’s the package?”

The receptionist took out a big cardboard box. “Here it is.”

Sonia’s gaze fell on the sealed box on the desk, but she couldn’t see what was inside, and there wasn’t any information on the outside about the sender either.

 

Reaching out her hand, Daphne then lifted the box from a corner and said, “It’s quite heavy, President Reed.”

“Open it up and take a look,” Sonia instructed the receptionist.

 

With a cutter, the receptionist opened the box and everyone saw that it was filled with exquisitely packaged bottles.

Taking out a bottle, Daphne took a look at it and exclaimed in surprise, “President Reed, this is the most famous supplement overseas and works amazingly for the healing of bones. Just one bottle easily costs more than ten thousand. Look how many bottles are in here. The sender is really generous.”

To spend so much just to buy supplements for President Reed, the sender must be her loyal suitor, she reckoned.

Hearing that, Sonia frowned. “Put back the bottle and reseal the box.”

“Huh?” Daphne blurted, stunned. “Aren’t you going to keep them, President Reed?”
