Carlos opened the big box Frankie held and said, “Happy 25th birthday!”


    The whole room brightened as soon as the box was opened. Everyone stopped to gape at the gift,


    trying to see what was inside.


    Jared eximed, “Huh! All I can see is money.”


    Kasie teased, “Sure you can hold it by yourself?”


    Sasha echoed Kasie’s joke, “Maybe I can help Debbie carry it to my house.”


    ir said, “I wonder how much it’s worth.”


    Ivan held his chin and guessed, “Let’s see, there are about 25 roses.

    Made of sterling tinum, and certainly not the hybrid tinum you find on themon market.


    Besides, each flower has leaves and a stem, so each one weighs quite a bit. I guess each rose is


    priced at least


    200, @0@ dors, so 25 flowers means five mil easy. But if we factor inbor, that shoots the price


    even higher.”


    Everyone stared agape at therge gift box.


    Unaware of the situation, ir was still confused.


    “So what does it mean? Why did Carlos spend so much on Debbie?”


    Ivan shed a thin smile and went on to exin, “A rose is the flower of love, and tinum is a durable


    precious metal. So this bouquet of tinum roses means that Carlos’ love for Debbie willst forever.”


    And yes, this looked a bit vulgar, like showing off how wealthy he was.


    But it was a sweet intention, with a beautiful, romantic meaning.

    Looking at the shining tinum roses, Debbie felt so moved, but also a little helpless. ‘He always goes


    overboard when ites to money. I guess he has it to burn, though.’ She was still gracious, and said,


    “Thank you very much, Carlos.”


    She stood there, regarding Carlos’ gift box, still held diligently by


    Frankie. ‘I wonder if I could even handle such a heavy box.’


    Carlos closed the box, grabbed it from Frankie’s hands and handed it to


    Debbie. She reached out her hands to take it from him. But it was so heavy that she could hardly stand


    up straight.


    She shuffled closer to him, angry at the humiliation.


    “Did you do this on purpose?”


    He frowned in confusion.


    “It’s so heavy I can barely lift it. How am I supposed to get it home?”
