Everyone had a great time. After eating, everyone moved to the living room for tea while Riley received gifts one after the other. Draco gave him a watch. It was the expensive kind. He was very reluctant to accept it at first, but Draco insisted.
"You have been very diligent. That is your reward."
"Thank you, Mr. Sy. You have given me so much. I hope one day I can repay you for the kindness you have shown me," Riley said, eyes shining. His words were very heartfelt.
"I trust you will."
Just as the atmosphere was getting solemn, Riley's phone rang.
"I'm sorry, I have to take this call." Riley got up and excused himself.
From where Draco was sitting, he secretly eavesdropped on Riley's phone call.
"Hey, Jake! Yeah, sure. Is around 6:00 okay? Well, thanks again. Yeah, see you later. Bye!"
After the call, Riley went back to sit on the sofa.
Getting back from the bathroom, Dylan inquired what the call was about.
