"Hi, Zaen!" Zoey chirped as soon as he opened the door. "I'm Zoey from—"
"Class, I know. Please… take a seat," Zaen replied, letting her in. "Uncle, could you get us some snacks?"
"Of course, I'll send a maid over. Just keep the door unlocked. It'll lessen the hassle." Mack said, still eyeing Zoey.
Had it been before, he wouldn't have allowed anyone into Zaen's room just because they said they were his friend. However, ever since the incident, it seemed everyone was distancing themselves from Zaen.
That's why when Zoey appeared there, he let her in. Even so, he didn't want to leave them alone, just in case. Hence the demand to keep the door unlocked.
"Will do."
Zaen nodded and sat across from Zoey. Before he could say anything, she took out a package from her bag and slid it across the table.
"I know it isn't much, but… happy birthday!"
