"Pfftt—!" Charles covered his mouth to stop himself from bursting out in laughter. He couldn't contain himself, laughing not because he thought Haines got less than him, but because he thought it was the perfect gift for Haines.
Haines, on the other hand, just looked at it and sighed. "Thank you, Old Madam. But I'm fine on my own."
"I know you are content living alone, but you should at least try!" Old Mrs. Pierson bit her tongue when she sensed that she was about to start nagging. "It's alright if you don't like it. I have something else prepared for you!"
"Old Madam, this is?" At the same time, Allison received a list. Confusion quickly settled in her eyes.
Old Mrs. Pierson grinned. "It's a list of people interested in your business. Just like Mr. Haines, you may or may not accept it, for I have more for you!"
