At that moment Ethan's brows furrowed slightly as he processed what just happened.
He couldn't believe they called him because he stood up?
'That's absurd.'
Still, he maintained his composure as he walked up to the spokesman, his voice calm but firm. "I already placed my gift in the gifting section," Ethan explained.
"I didn't know we were supposed to present them directly."
The spokesman nodded, seemingly understanding, and turned to address the room. "Ethan has informed me that his gift is already in the designated section," he announced, his tone neutral.
At that moment Ethan was about to step away and retrieve the box when Serenity's uncle abruptly stood up, his voice sharp and laced with suspicion.
"Wait a moment," the older man said, his piercing gaze fixed on Ethan.
