Everyone exchanged glances, and they all saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.
Virginia Daniel's was a Bvlgari necklace, of excellent quality, with diamonds that were smoothly and fully cut, this year's new model, and expensively priced.
Gordon Edwin's was a small can of tea leaves, top-grade royal dragon-well tea, a tribute tea seldom auctioned on the market, priceless, for which many people would spend a fortune yet fail to acquire.
And old Mr. Edwin's was the only existing copy of an ancient book.
These gifts, both precious and perfectly suited, reached the hearts of everyone.
"This is just too..."
Virginia touched the necklace, the surprise still evident in her eyes, never having expected Director Fuller to give such a valuable gift outright.
Old Mr. Edwin, fondly handling the only existing copy in his hands, instructed with a solemn expression.
