Eve Thompson arrived at the school in a daze, and just as she was entering the school gate, her phone rang. She answered and heard her father Jonas Thompson's voice on the other end: "Iris, Charlie Group made an announcement about your engagement. Is it true?"
Eve Thompson: ...
Her confusion disappeared in an instant, and she raised her head, suddenly full of energy like a fighting rooster.
Her big phoenix-like eyes flashed as she spoke into the phone: "Yes, it's true."
"That's great! Mr. Charlie hadn't expressed anything earlier, so I thought..." Jonas stopped himself, realizing he had said the wrong thing. He chuckled awkwardly and continued, "So what do you need to prepare for the engagement party? Is there anything we can do to help at home?"
Home...hah!
His attitude had changed quite quickly.
Eve lowered her eyes, "No need, Mr. Charlie said he will take care of everything."
