Upon hearing this, another lady interjected with a gleeful tone, "Ha-ha, I'm well aware! It's a Rolls-Royce. My daughter never ceases to sing its praises. This automobile commands a price tag exceeding five million!"

"Five million? Such extravagance?"

The revelation piqued the collective curiosity about the individual poised to emerge from the opulent vehicle.

Soon, a gentleman clad in a sharp, ebony suit disembarked, exuding an air of sophistication. His arrival ignited a spark of excitement among the assembled ladies, raising their hopes that perhaps fortune would favor them even at this late hour.

The prospect of introducing their daughters to this affluent man presented itself as a potential gateway to a life of prosperity.

A handful of eager souls among the onlookers were already contemplating making their move.

However, their anticipations were swiftly dampened when the gentleman made his way to the rear door and swung it open, revealing the presence of another figure.

It was at that moment that the truth dawned upon the expectant crowd: the impeccably attired man was but a chauffeur.

Then, a striking and tall figure emerged from the vehicle. In an instant, he eclipsed everything in his vicinity. He stood with an effortless grace, radiating an aura of icy authority that left no room for approach.

Those who had been entertaining thoughts of approaching the Rolls-

Royce swiftly curbed their intentions. This man was unassailable!

One of the ladies couldn't help but remark with awe, “So, the commanding CEO from those television dramas is real!"

These ladies, well into middle age, were witnessing such an extraordinarily handsome and refined figure for the very first time in their Lives.

Now, they comprehended the allure behind the fairytale notion of Cinderella marrying a commanding CEO.

"Did you observe that? He's walking toward the young Lady who just departed. Do they have some connection?" one astute Lady pointed out.

All eyes were fixed upon the unfolding scene.

Lilah, too, appeared somewhat taken aback as she gazed at Gerard and uttered, "You're here."

"Indeed, I've come to pick you up," Gerard responded with a cheerful grin, his once imposing demeanor having softened considerably. Then he instructed, his voice adopting a hushed, enigmatic tone, “Turn around."

Despite her confusion, Lilah turned around.

It was then that she experienced a sudden, gentle sensation on her neck. Upon casting her eyes downward, she discovered a necklace, resplendent with numerous diamonds that glimmered in the obscurity.

Its craftsmanship clearly spoke of opulent materials.

“Wow, it's absolutely stunning!"

Lilah's admiration was unmistakable as she marveled at the exquisite piece. "Is this the gift you've prepared for me? I've yet to offer you a gift and now you've presented me with another gift..."

"I thought it would suit you well, so I bought it. I'm delighted that you appreciate it," Gerard remarked, his voice tender and his gaze affectionate as he softly stroked her hair.
