Wiliam also glanced at the gift, whereas Steve didn’t show any interest as he was waiting for Stephen’s gift. But he didn’t spot Stephen from the evening
“Mom, Stephen is still left. Eva, you will decide the winner only after receiving his gift. “
“Fair enough, but what will you expect from him? He is such a cold-hearted man; he even smiles at anyone, like he is doing a favor to him. So I think it’s...”
Before Richard could complete the sentence,
Stephen's impersonal voice was heard from behind
“Thank you for your kind words , Richard
Stephen reached for Eva and passed her a beautiful bouquet of roses towards Eva
“Happy birthday,”
“Thank you."
Richard chuckled beside him, “See how right I am; he just got this bouquet for you."
“This is not the gift; my gift is there on the dance floor."
All heads turned towards the dance floor and when Eva saw her three friends who were standing on the dance floor, waving at her,

Stephen had a winning smile on his face

Eva shed tears of joy as she embraced her three friends, who have always been her pillars of support. She expressed her joy through a combination of squeals, tears, and smiles upon reuniting with her friends after a significant period.

“Mr. Stephen Smith has invited all of us to your birthday party.”
“ Hmmm Stephen."
“Yes... come on, let’s dance."
"No. First, you have to meet others too."
"Hmm, ok."
Eva stepped down from the dance floor along with her friends and reached near Rose and William. All three greeted the couple politely. They all met Michael too
Then Eva went to Steve
“Steve, this is Sara, Madison, and Joey.”
“Friends... yes, I guess I already met them once."
“Hmm when?”
“On that video chat,”
