They had been in the middle of discussing how to tackle the issue at hand when she suddenly brought up a gift. After mulling it over, he thought he could see where she was coming from. It made sense-maybe she was trying to smooth things over and cool his temper with a peace offering.

Silver Fox coughed, feeling even more awkward. "I, uh, accidentally spent three hundred million from your card that day, so I thought I should thank you somehow." Bucouldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. She had spent his three hundred million dollars and thought a gift would make him feel better? What could she have possibly bought that would convey her gratitude? Still, the fact that she'd thought to get him something made him unexpectedly happy.

As soon as Bulaid eyes on the figurine, his eyebrows twitched in surprise, and he couldn't help but be amused. So, this was the gift she'd chosen for him? He didn't care about how cheap it was but was unhappy with the figurine's appearance. It was a gaunt man with the look of a perpetual underdog, flashing a carefree grin, showing his white teeth.

"Yes," Silver Fox answered with an innocent nod.
