"The item arrived?"
That soon?
Jimmy was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Did it arrive already? Where is it? Should I head to your house or your office?"
"Come to the Jones Mansion."
"Okay, coming."
Glancing at the time, Jimmy then turned the steering wheel and drove directly to the Jones Mansion.
When the doorbell rang, Sharon was playing games with her two children on the sofa. Hazel who opened the door was surprised to see Jimmy. "What are you here for at this hour, Mr. Hudson?"
Hearing the voice, Sharon subconsciously turned her head towards the door. Sure enough, she saw Jimmy coming into the house.
"Jimmy?"
Sharon went over to welcome him. "Did you come alone? Where's Ariah?" "She didn't come."
"What are you doing here then?"
"Can't I visit even though she's not here?" Jimmy smiled and asked teasingly.
"No, it's not like that..."
Sharon almost fell into his trap. "Forget it, are you looking for Stanley?"
"Yeah, where is he?"
"He just came back from the office and is in the study now. He told me to bring you there once you arrive."
Jimmy answered with a brief "sure" and went to the study directly after greeting the two children.
When he arrived, he knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Stanley's voice came from the study.
Pushing open the door, Jimmy entered the room and saw Stanley sitting behind his working desk. When Stanley heard the sound of footsteps entering the room, he didn't even bother to raise his head. Instead, he picked up the box beside him and tossed it at Jimmy.
"Catch!"
Reacting fast, Jimmy caught it with ease. He then tossed it around with his hand without opening it.
Putting down his pen, Stanley raised his eyes and asked, "Aren't you going to open it?"
"I trust your taste."
"Aren't you afraid that I will set you up?"
"Well you can't run away forever."
Hearing that, Stanley snickered, "The money I spent on this will be deducted from your share, any objections?"
Jimmy had already bought shares when he first joined the company. Even though he didn't physically work in the company, he would receive substantial income by the end of each year.
"Sure, that's up to you," said Jimmy as he chucked the box into his pocket. His eyes were a little distant as his mind wandered somewhere else. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Seeing Jimmy losing himself in reverie, Stanley raised his brows and asked, "Why don't you call Ariah over? So we can have a get-together?"
"Forget it," Jimmy answered after coming back to his senses. "She's busy taking care of her patients in the hospital. I don't think she's free to come."
"Alright then," Stanley didn't push any further.
After receiving the item, Jimmy was going to leave. "I'll be leaving first. Thanks for helping me get this."
Waving his hands, Stanley replied, "Bye, I won't be sending you off."
Then, Jimmy pushed open the door and walked out of the house.
The two of them shared a solid friendship. They trusted each other because they both knew each other inside out.
Just as Stanley lowered his head once again to sort out his documents, Sharon's voice came from the living room. After a while, he heard the sound of a door closing, followed by the sound of footsteps running towards him.
Then, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile.
"Honey!"
The next second, the door of the study was pushed open. Sharon ran in with a curious look on her face. "What was Jimmy doing here?"
"He came to get something."
"What was it?"
Tilting his head up, Stanley glanced at her. His thin lips spat out three words, "A diamond ring."
