Second date

[Miller's Company]

Open invitations lay scattered across Haines's desk, his face grim. He had opened them only because they came from Penny's "legal team." Assuming they were important invitations Penny needed him to attend, he checked them all. But alas, they were just birthday invitations.

"Uh… Haines." Just then, Charles's voice reached his ears.

Charles was holding the door open, seven invitations in his hand. "Do you happen to know what these invitations from Gracie are about?"

"..." Haines glanced at the invitations in Charles's hand and compared them to the ones on his desk. Charles had received far fewer. "How many did you get?"

"Seven," Charles replied with a nod. "All of them are birthday invitations from Gracie. Is this some kind of prank Penny came up with?"
