13 Gift for him
The next morning, Lucas awoke with the heavy burden of a hangover weighing on him. Groaning, he reached for the hangover pill from his bedside drawer. But as he grabbed it, something caught his eye – a notification from the Lovibles app. His heart skipped a beat, and he clicked on it with a mix of excitement and trepidation.
[Dear esteemed guest, tomorrow is your scheduled session with Master M. To commemorate your first session of your journey, we offer you the following choices to make the day special for you and your master.
1. Meet up at our designated hotel.
2. Request for Master to give you a gift.
Of course, it's recommended but definitely not compulsory!
Thank you for your precious time, and we hope you have an awesome date tomorrow~!]
Lucas read the options with growing trepidation. "Meetup? Erm, that's too early. I'm not prepared for it yet," he mumbled to himself. The thought of meeting up in person with Master M made his stomach do a flip, and he felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.
As his eyes lingered on the second option, he couldn't help but muse aloud, "A gift to me? I mean, that's what a girlfriend would do, right? Prepare presents for their beloved boyfriend..."
"Even though Master M and I are technically not in a relationship," Lucas mused aloud, "I sort of told Milane that she's my girlfriend, so... I guess this would be more appropriate, right? It probably can convince others that I'm in a relationship as well."
His thoughts swirled like a whirlwind, and he attempted to rationalize the situation as calmly as possible. But unbeknownst to Lucas, his face turned a shade of red that rivaled a ripe tomato.
He took a deep breath and tapped on the second option. Instantly, the app responded.
[ Thank you for your response!
For the second option, please add your budget for Master M to choose a present for you. Also, feel free to add any requests or message to Master M.]
He took another deep breath and continue to reply to the app.

On the other hand, Milane received the notification while she was on the crowded subway, traveling to work.
[Dear Master M,
Your date for tomorrow has requested a gift from you. He has generously given you $1000 to purchase the gift. We have conveniently opened an online store for you to choose your gift.
Additionally, this is the message he added:
"Hey, the app asked me to give you some cash to choose a present for me to commemorate our first session tomorrow. Here's $1000, and you can keep the rest. But I have one request, please send the gift to my designated address and add a message addressing it to 'MY DEAREST BOYFRIEND.' Thank you."]
Milane's heart couldn't contain the excitement as she squealed internally, trying her best to keep calm amidst the sea of commuters on the subway. "$1000 and the rest is for me? He's always so generous!" she thought with glee.
"And just a simple request to send it to 'my dearest boyfriend'? Sure, no problem! I can even call him 'daddy' if he wants!" she couldn't help but add with a playful chuckle.
As she quickly browsed through the online store provided by Lovibles, she found the perfect gift – the cheapest one. With a few clicks, she requested gift wrapping and made sure to include a heartfelt message, addressing it to her "dearest boyfriend."
The best part of Lovibles was their discreet handling of deliveries, ensuring the addresses of both parties remained confidential.
As she completed her purchase, she couldn't help but do a little happy dance in her mind. "$1000 - $46.70 = $953.30!" she calculated, realizing she had earned $953.30 for herself!
With a perfect start to the day, the rest of Milane's day went by remarkably smoothly. Even the usually demanding Lucas seemed happier and less picky, which was a pleasant surprise.
As she returned to the office after a satisfying lunch, she noticed a crowd gathering around a courier near Lucas's office. Curiosity piqued, she hushed her colleague next to her, asking what was happening.
"Mr. Leedon! There's a parcel for Mr. Leedon!" her colleague exclaimed excitedly.
Milane was puzzled. "Well, he often receives parcels of documents from different companies. What's so special about this one? Why are you all crowding here?" she inquired.
"The parcel has a message! According to the receptionist, who managed to steal a peek at the message, she said it was from his lover! 'My dearest boyfriend' written big and bold on the letter!" her colleague gushed.
"Really?" Milane tiptoed, trying to steal a glance at the parcel the courier was holding.
"Yes, yes! Unbelievable, right? After it was announced on the company group chat, I couldn't help but sneak here to see if the parcel was really his! The mean devil has a lover? His girlfriend definitely has a unique taste!" her colleague continued, clearly amused.
Just as Milane was about to join in the teasing about Lucas, his office door opened. The crowd instantly dispersed at the sight of his cold gaze, but they still lingered around the office, sneaking glances at him.
He nonchalantly reached over to grab the parcel and signed off on the courier document. A small grin appeared on his face, and his cheeks flushed slightly as he took in the gift.
As Milane entered the office, she saw him glancing at the gift with a confused look. "Why is it so small?" she heard him murmur softly.
Curiosity got the better of her, and she tried to peek at the contents of the parcel, but Lucas quickly covered it, teasingly guarding it from her prying eyes.
Lucas stared at Milane and said with a proud grin, "Are you curious about my gift? It was a present from my girlfriend, apparently she misses me already."
Milane answered him with an awkward smile.
"Sometimes, it's nice to have someone missing you. Milane, do you understand this feeling?" he asked, a hint of pride in his voice. "Oh, I forgot, you need to have a boyfriend before you can understand this perplexing feeling. I'm sorry~," he added with a touch of sarcasm.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Leedon, I don't understand this feeling because if I have a boyfriend, he won't need to miss me, as we are not going through a long-distance relationship. We can meet as and when we want," Milane bantered back.
Before he could respond, Milane quickly excused herself and left the office, her heart pounding with a mix of emotions. As she stepped out into the hallway, she couldn't help but smile at the amusing irony of the situation. Lucas, the unyielding and demanding boss, now sporting a bashful grin over a surprise gift from his girlfriend.
The image of Lucas, usually so composed and in control, eagerly sharing the news with his friend Jon, brought a warm feeling to her heart. It was a side of him she rarely got to see, and it made her realize that even the most stoic individuals could turn into childish boys when they were in love.
With a playful glint in her eye, Milane mused to herself, "I guess every man turns into a lovestruck boy when they're in a relationship."
