Steve Burton went straight to the underground parking lot.
Seeing him, the parking attendant promptly unlocked the car and opened the door for him, "Mr. Burton, would you like me to drive you out?"
Steve shook his head and simply reached out his hand.
The parking attendant respectfully placed the car key in Steve's hand and tactfully left.
Steve bent down, got into the car, closed the door, fastened his seatbelt, and turned his head. Just as Rusell had said, he saw an exquisitely wrapped gift box on the passenger seat.
Steve reached out, gently caressed the gift box for a moment, then turned on the car's interior light, picked up the gift box, and carefully began to unwrap it.
