Lisa held the doll in her hand and confirmed that it was indeed from the hotel's claw machine. The delivery robot stood on the opposite side and prompted, "Dear guest, please remember to close the door after collecting your takeaway."

Lisa took out the packaged rose, pressed the door lock button, and after the robot closed the door, it spun around and proceeded on its way while speaking. Lisa closed the door, holding the rose and doll as she walked back into her room.

She wondered who sent these gifts. Was it Tan Yao?

Thinking of Tan Yao's playful nature, Lisa shook her head slightly. It couldn't be him; he would have made a big fuss about it in the lobby with a loudspeaker if he was the one who caught the doll. This unique way of delivering the gifts seemed more like something Jungkook would come up with.

But Jungkook? That seemed far-fetched even to Lisa herself. However, she couldn't think of anyone else who might have done it. Just as she was pondering over this, Tan Yao called her.

Picking up the phone, Lisa raised an eyebrow and answered, "Mr. Tan, is there something you need?"

Tan Yao complained on the other end, "My dad just nagged at me like he was urging me to my death. I guess I'll come help you catch dolls next time."

"No need for that," Lisa replied, glancing at the doll in her hand; indeed, it wasn't Tan Yao who caught it.

Tan Yao continued, "Today is really embarrassing. My dad won't let me celebrate foreign festivals. I'll come see you next time on New Year's Day. He won't have anything to say then!"

"...You should probably listen to your dad," Lisa suggested.

Tan Yao clicked his tongue on the phone, "All he does is scold me every day. I just don't understand. If he thinks I can't do anything right, why does he keep me tied to the company? But forget about him. I've ordered a Christmas cake for you; it should be delivered soon. Remember to eat it."

Lisa blinked, and she told Tan Yao, "Tan Yao, I don't have feelings for you like that."

Tan Yao was caught off guard by Lisa's refusal and all he could think of was "I'm not listening, I'm not listening".

"Don't say it so absolutely! You haven't discovered my charm yet!" Tan Yao tried to defend himself with some force, "I won't talk to you anymore; I'm driving now. Don't throw away the cake!"

After saying this, Tan Yao hung up without giving Lisa a chance to respond.

Lisa put down the phone in speechlessness and looked at the doll in her hand again. Could it be Jungkook who sent it?

She placed the doll in a specially-made cabinet designed to display dolls, then walked to the bedside and picked up the phone to call the front desk. Mina answered the call promptly, "Hello, Miss Manoban, do you need anything?"

Lisa asked, "Did you see Jungkook using the delivery robot downstairs?"

"Delivery robot?" Mina pondered for a moment and replied, "No, but Mr. Jeonordered takeaway, and it was delivered by a robot."

"Oh..." Lisa thought for a while and said, "I ran out of toothpaste in my room. Can you have the robot bring a box of toothpaste for me?"

"Sure!"

After hanging up the phone, Lisa looked around her room and noticed the Christmas candies that were prepared by the restaurant. They were made from fruits and included nuts inside, which she really liked. She picked up a few bags and gently shook one in her hand.

She found a pen on the table, bent down to write a line on the small card of the candy bag, and then waited for the hardworking little robot to deliver the toothpaste.
