Krayden waved his hands. "You're welcome. I'll go and finish up what | was doing earlier."
| walked into the bathroom to bathe. My clothes were full of mud and could not be washed here, so | merely
rinsed them before folding them and putting them into the bag. | planned to wash them after | got home.
When | walked out, Keith looked atand said, "I'll make a move first, then, Mrs.
Grant."
| nodded. "Thank you."
You're welcome, Mrs. Grant.
After Keith left, | planned to go back to work.
| planned to head straight hafter all this was done, but | bumped into Krayden halfway. He said with a smile,
"Ms. Lane, Keith cand invited us for dinner earlier. Don’t be in a hurry to go back first."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| frowned. "Didn't we already have lunch together?”
Krayden chuckled. "Mr. Collins must have invited a few more people. He's old and usually only spends twith
his wife, so h e especially likes hanging out with the younger generations because it's livelier."
If that was the case, then it was understandable.
I nodded. "Is it the srestaurant as this afternoon?"
Yes.”
Krayden pointed to the paper box on the side. "I need to take these boxes to Chester and may have to make two
trips. Mr. Grant and the rest are at the test site. You can take their car later.”
| nodded. "Okay."
"By the way." Krayden suddenly recalled something and said with a smile, "Mr.
Collins heard that you picked the fruits. He specifically wants you to go over and join them."
| smiled. "Have you eaten the fruits?"
Krayden nodded. "Keith gave us a bag full o f it. Besides, we ate a lot when we first got here, so don't worry
about us.”
Krayden then said a few more things before leaving.
| returned to the test site and went straight to the lounge.
| had just made it to the lounge when | heard laughter coming out of the room.
"You have the gift of the gab, Ms. Mandez. | haven't laughed in a long time," Mr. Collins said with a smile.
"Oh don't say that, Mr. Collins. It's our honor as juniors to speak with you. We're truly lucky to be able to cheer
you up."
Elena said those words, making Mr. Collins even happier now.
There was no denying that Elena truly had the gift of the gab.
When the conversation stopped, | raised m y hand to knock on the door.
However, Mr. Collins suddenly said, "Theo, | was lying in the hospital when you and M s. Mandez got married
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmback then, so | wasn't able to attend the wedding."
Mr. Collins had probably taken something out. He continued, "This is just a token of appreciation that | have
prepared for you, M s. Mandez. It isn’t expensive, but it’s a gift from my wife. Take it as a belated wedding gift
from me."
Elena was a little surprised and glanced at Theo, seeking his opinion with her eyes on whether she should accept
the gift.
Theo probably did not expect Mr. Collins to give them a present. He was stunned for a moment and said, "We
appreciate the thought, Mr. Collins, but we can't accept the gift because it's from Mrs. Collins."
Seeing that he had refused, Mr. Collins was a little upset. He said, “I'm not giving it to you. It's for your wife. Ms.
Mandez should b e the one to decide whether to accept it or not."
