With slow steps, Eva reached near Stephen.

“Stephen, they are my friends joey, Madison and Sara."

Stephen gave a curt nod to them, as his smile was only a reserve feature for Eva.

“Hi, we are big, big fans of you, sir. Can you please tell me how you look so hot every time, no matter what you wear or not wear.?

“Is there any secret to your good looks?

Joey started again. Stephen looks at the girls in astonishment.

Whereas Eva felt embarrassed by her friend’s behavior; she knew what kind of man Stephen is, so she was expecting some harsh come back frombut Eva got shocked when a smile appeared on Stephen’s face

So were her friends; they all blinked their eyes to believe that. Stephen smith the hot breed of man's species, is smiling to them

“Wow! You have a killer smile!”

Stephen chuckled at Sara’s remark before he could say something. Eva excused herself and dragged her friends towards the dance floor. Soon they all started enjoying on the dance floor

The Smith family, along with Richard and Michael, were admiring as well as sometimes laughing at the weird dance steps of the girls. Steve wanted to join the floor, but a hard look from Stephen halted his actions. After sometime many guests evacuated the lawn, and it was only the familysome time,

The dinner had already started, and Eva complimented Richard for his delicious party food; he accepted it with a smile

While dinner time rose, she asked Eva about her decision

Eva hesitated first, but then she started in a soft tone

“Well, first, thank you to all of you for these precious gifts. They are precious not because of their price but because of the efforts that you all put into selecting every gift for me. And I love them all but I have to decide the best one among them

So it’s Stephen’s gift, as he made my birthday more special by inviting my three lifelines here

Thank you so much, Stephen .“

Stephen gave a nod at her; his face lit up as Eva declared him the winner, and he had a proud smile on his face. Stephen wasn't even as delighted as if he had cracked a million-dollar deal.

Everybody cheered for Stephen and congratulated him.

Steve teased him. “So tell me when and where I should book a table for dinner.”

Stephen glared at Steve, whereas Eva also shot daggers at Steve for bringing up this dinner date topic.

"Well, leave this decision on Stephen, as he is a very busy man, so he will decide when and where. And I think Eva will be fine with it." Michael interferes. Stephen and Eva both gave a nod in agreement

“Eva, I think we should also leave for the hotel.” Sara suggested, as it was getting late at night now.

Listening to their departure Eva was upset; Stephen already knew this was coming. So he suggested

“There is no need to stay in a hotel anymore. You all can stay at our home. Mom ask kathey to prepare the other guest room too, “Stephen stated in a decisive tone

“Really!!! Thank you so much, Mr. Stephen; you are so thoughtful. And no need for another room.as we friends love to stay together in a room. You know, actually, we friends have a lot to catch up on. Madison appreciated Stephen’s effort

“My pleasure and thank you for this compliment, as my dear friend assumed I was a coldhearted man, just some minutes before."

Richard choked on his food and glared at Stephen, on which Stephen raised an eyebrow

After they completed the dinner, Rose told Eva to show her room to her friends.

Soon, Eva and her friends left for their room, bidding goodnight to everyone
