Tiffany's POV

"Mel! Over here!" I jumped up and down, waving my hand in the air. Melanie looked around as I shouted her name multiple times.

"Ahh there you are" She pointed toward my direction and ran to me. "Why did you call me here out of the blue? We always make plan before going out" she panted.

"Well, today is a special day. I should've asked you to come the day before but I didn't have time. Luckily, I don't have any practice today. Thank god!" I sighed in relieved and pretended to wipe sweats off of my forehead.

"And you decide to come to a mall" she spoke in a sarcastic voice. I laughed and lightly hit her shoulder.

"It's Daniel birthday" I tried to hide my excited smile.

"OMG! Tiff! You picked the right person to come with you! I'll help you with the gift" she winked.

We walked around the mall, looking at different fancy stuff for Daniel. We tried looking at watches, shoes, clothes but it doesn't feel right to me. Melanie also thought the same thing. It was pretty embarrassing going into people's store and left without buying anything.

"This is more difficult than I thought" Melanie put her hand on her forehead. I nodded along and find a place to sit. We ended up drinking coffee in the shop nearby.

"Don't tell me you're running out of ideas" I nervously look at her. She avoided my gaze "Seems like it" I groaned and took another sip of my my coffee.

"To be honest, I don't think he celebrate his birthday anymore so I thought I'd try to buy a gift for him" I tapped my long fingernails on the glass table.

"That's it!" Melanie shot up but sat back down after acknowledging that people are staring at her.

"What?" I whispered and leaned forward.

"Daniel is fucking rich so I don't think he'd need anything. Since he has literally everything, let's make a handmade gift. It's cheap too" she chuckled and told me to lean closer. I did as she told and started whispering her plan into my ears. I smiled widely and rapidly nodded my head to her unique plan.

Daniel's POV

Who say being a CEO of a company is easy? All the trainees get their day off meanwhile I'm over here smacking my keyboard all day long. I gave my head a slow massage and continued typing documents into the computer. I heard a few knocks on the door so I crossed my legs together and loosen the tie on my neck.

Victoria gracefully entered the office, I rolled my eyes and turned my head to the computer.
"I see you're still angry at me" she put a cup of coffee on my desk and handed me something. I glanced from the screen and saw a pretty big red box on her hand. It has black laced bow on it so I assumed it's a present for me?

"It's for you, just take it" She came closer.

"For?" I looked at her.

"Oh my god Mr. Hart, you don't remember your birthday?" She giggled and put the box on the desk beside the coffee.

"I'm not a teenager anymore, I don't look forward to my birthday" I scratched the back of my head.

"Anyway, drink that coffee before it turn cold. I'm getting back to work" she bowed and left quietly through the door. I shook my head and took a sip of the coffee.

A present, huh?

I wonder if Tiffany know my birthday. I don't think I've ever told her about it. Oh well, she can just google it. I smiled and glanced at the red box. Out of curiosity, I picked it up and opened it. It was a perfume from a famous brand.
