After settling Vera Wave in the hotel to rest, Kris Cooper arranged for a female staff member to stay with her before he rushed off to a company meeting.
After all, having been on a flight for over ten hours, even though she had slept on the plane, Vera was still a little tired. She took a short nap. By the time she woke up, Kris was sitting at the head of her bed, smiling. The moment she opened her eyes, he handed her a rectangular gift wrapped in beautiful paper.
Vera accepted the gift, a puzzled look on her face. It felt heavy in her hands.
She looked up at the man sitting at the head of her bed. He remained silent, simply offering an encouraging gaze.
She lowered her gaze and carefully unfolded the wrapping paper, handling it delicately as if the slightest misstep might tear the gift inside.
As the wrapping paper slowly came off, a book appeared in her hands.
