Esther took a step back to avoid his touch and sneered, "James, do you plan to tell me that you and Anne are just friends and that I have misunderstood you? Or are you going to tell me that Anne and you didn't mean it and that you love me? Don't try to fool me!"
"Anne and I don't take it seriously." James hurriedly explained and quickly took out a small red velvet box from his pocket. "Look, this is the earrings I bought for you in the capital. They're the pair you saw in the magazine last time, but you couldn't find it. I skipped work and searched for it for a whole day."
Esther took the red box in his hand and opened it. It was indeed a pair of earrings that she had once fancied. It looked beautiful and shiny. Esther looked up at James. "This is the surprise you want to give me?"
"That's right." James suddenly looked at her and said, "Don't you have a surprise for me? What's it?"
