Both of them had a huge meal.
When it came time to pay, Ivan reached for his wallet.
Agnes quickly cut him off, "I told you I'm treating you, a beef burger isn't going to break my bank."
With a smile, Ivan put his wallet away and didn't argue with Agnes.
After eating, Ivan took Agnes to the prop room at Century Entertainment.
It was a massive storage room, pretty much like a prop supermarket.
Rows upon rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of props, from ancient to modern, they had everything.
Ivan helped Agnes pick out props, and they quickly found all the ones they needed.
Ivan called over Faye and instructed him, "Help Ms. Pritchard take these props to her school."
"Sure thing."
As he finished speaking, Faye suddenly pulled out a small box and handed it to Ivan, "Oh, by the way, Mamie just had her assistant drop this off."
Agnes was right there at the time.
It was a sleek little black box. Inside was a men's diamond-encrusted watch. There was also a note in the box. It read, "To my dearest Ivan, Happy Birthday."
Ivan smiled as he put the watch away.
Agnes was surprised, "Is it your birthday today?"
"Yes."
Agnes seemed a bit upset, "If I'd known, I wouldn't have treated you to a burger. I should have gotten you something nicer."
"Having someone to eat with is more than enough for me. Is there a law against having a burger on your birthday? Agnes, I've had a great day. Thanks for eating with me."
Hearing this, Agnes felt a pang in her heart.
