Corless remained silent.
Today marks the first meet-up between your boyfriend and us, so I need to pay extra attention. He could be my future son-in-law!
Amirah responded with a grin.
Mom, youre the elder here. Even if you dont lift a finger, he needs to treat you well.
After a lengthy wait, Bettie glanced at her watch and scowled. Why hasnt he arrived yet?
It was nearly 10:30.

Whats the hurry? Amirah teased.
Im not in a hurry. I just dont want you to be kept waiting.
Suddenly, the sound of an engine came from outside.
Amirah nudged Bettie, asking, Is he here? Go out and have a look.
Hell come in on his own. Why do I need to go outside? Bettie muttered, yet she rose and hastened out of the living room. She saw Lance entering with two boxes of fine wine and some gifts.
Please, come in. Bettie was a bit anxious now. She worried Lance might not make a good impression.
Lance followed Bettie into the living room, offering a smile to her parents seated on the sofa. Hello.
Hey there, Lance, Corless and Amirah greeted Lance with smiles, giving him a thorough once-over.
Dressed in a sleek black shirt paired with matching suit pants and leather shoes, Lance cut a dashing figure. His sharp gaze was softened by the glasses perched on his nose, lending him an air of sophistication and charm.
Please, have a seat and set your things down. Carrying all that must be exhausting. Amirah found herself quite taken with Lance, though a nagging sense of familiarity tugged at her as if shed crossed paths with him before.
I hope I havent made you wait too long. I wasnt sure what youd like, so I bought a variety of things. Mrs. Ramirez, heres a necklace for you. I hope its to your liking. Mr. Ramirez, Ive heard you enjoy a good drink, so here are two bottles of Lafite.
Lance placed the jewelry box on the table, sliding it toward Amirah.

Upon opening the box, Amirahs eyes were met with the Lustrous sheen of a pearl necklace. The pearl, large and luminous, was capable of casting reflections, sparkling radiantly.
From what Amirah could tell, given her expertise, this pearl was worth no less than ten thousand dollars.
Corless casually looked over the wine and noticed that such a bottle could easily fetch a hundred thousand dollars.
Lance, youve spent a lot of money. You dont need to bring such expensive gifts next time. We dont need anything. We just want you and Bettie to have a happy life together, Corless said.
Since Lance had brought so many costly items, it was clear he had wealth. Bettie was in good hands if they got married.
Amirah felt reassured seeing Lances composed demeanor.
