Rose said naturally, "Although you Ares family members aren't lacking in any material wealth, a small gift represents my sincerity! If we were outside, maybe I could still buy calligraphy or art for Old Master Ares-"
"Follow me."
Jay brought Rose up to the art room on the third floor o f the clubhouse, laid out some papers and pens, and said, "I suppose you can start preparing your gift now?"
Pointed at her nose while staring at him, Rose asked," You want me to draw something as a gift for Old Master Ares' birthday?"
He nodded in response.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry. "One, I'm not an artist. Two, I'm not a calligrapher. My drawings and calligraphy are not of any value. Old Master Ares will have my gift thrown out the door."
"Who dares to touch you while I’m around?"
Hearing this, she sat before the drawing board and pondered for a long while. Finally, she came up with a poetic birthday wish.
"Sir Ares, is this suitable as a gift?"
Jay looked at the calligraphy and saw that every word was intricate, meticulous, and exquisite. It had an
alluring look to it, and they reflected her strong character as well.
His eyes were smiling. "You wrote well."
Jay took a scroll from the drawer and carefully framed her work of art. He saw the intense emotion on Rose's face and reassured her. "Don’t worry. Every year, Old Master Ares donates every gift that he's received to charity. So, whether you give him a piece of art or an antique, it's all the same."
Acting naughty, Rose retorted, "Since they're all for show, then shouldn't I just simply put in something?"
Jay could not help but laugh. "Of all the people in the world, you'll be the first to play Old Master Ares like this."
After the gift was wrapped up, Jay handed it over to Rose. "Follow me, let’s visit Old Master Ares!"
She felt that something would go awry. "He really won’t open it in front of others?"
