"You knew about it?" Nicole blurted, taken aback by the fact that he was privy to such information.

"I can't say I know everything about it, but I had a hunch," Martin admitted.

He was well aware of Stanley's feelings for Tia, but the misunderstanding involving him and Tia was a recent discovery to him.

Nicole chuckled, finally understanding what he was on about. "So, what about you? Don't tell me you're going to remain single forever."

"If I could, I should hope so. Unfortunately..." Martin sighed.' Unfortunately, that's just not impossible. My family has been urging me into getting married for the past few days. I have a feeling they have been driven into a frenzy because of the amount of weddings they've been attending as of late.'

Getting what Martin was trying to convey, Nicole laughed. "If that's the case, you must really consider it. There's a huge possibility that another wedding is coming your way."

Martin turned to look in the restaurant's general direction and sighed. "Yeah, that seems about right."

Unable to help herself, she burst out laughing at how defeated Martin seemed to be.

"What about you?" he asked as he glanced over at her.

"Well, what about me?" Nicole asked in shock, not understanding where Martin was going with the question.

"When is your wedding celebration going to be held? If I still don't have a girlfriend by then, I think I'll be forced to marry someone at random," Martin explained.

"If that's the case, I should consider moving my wedding forward," she teased.

Martin chuckled, "Come on. There's no need to rush this."

The duo then shared a fresh gale of laughter as they entered the restaurant.

Upon entry, they realized that Stanley had reserved the entire restaurant for this very occasion, with the place spruced up and decorated in such a way that the entire venue oozed romance and coziness. Most of the guests had also arrived by now.

Ell ar and Patricia went on to approach her when they saw her walking in.

"Nicole," Ellar greeted, glancing behind her. "Is my brother-in-law not coming?"

"He's not coming," Nicole answered, and turned to Patricia as if to ask her if she had gotten any updates on Jared's situation.

Patricia shook her head in response, indicating that they were still unable to obtain any information about the matter. Reaching an understanding that they had to wait a little longer, Nicole nodded and refrained from pressing any

further.

"Oh no. Am I late?" Preston asked, diverting everyone's attention to the entrance.

"If we compare you to Stanley and Tia, then no. You're not late," Samuel teased, implying that Preston was indeed the last to arrive save for the couple who were supposed to take centerstage.

Understanding Samuel's joke, Preston shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not late if they're not here yet, I suppose."

"Are you talking about us?" Stanley's voice blared out as he brought Tia in.

Seeing that everyone Stanley had invited was present, Spencer cast his brother a meaningful glance and asked, "Is everything ready now?"

"Yes," Stanley nodded, holding Tia's hand, and approached the dining table. "Please, have a seat, everyone."

The rectangular dining table, resembling those found in the houses of ancient European nobility, had specifically been arranged and positioned right at the center of the restaurant. It was large and long, giving everyone more than enough space to get themselves comfortable.

Stanley remained standing even after everyone had been seated.

Instead, he ranged his gaze over the crowd and announced," Hi guys, I've gathered you all here today for a meal because it's Tia's birthday today. With that said, I want everyone to have fun and celebrate this very special occasion."

Tia looked at Stanley in shock and asked, "You knew about my birthday?"

And just like that, Stanley had revealed his reason for calling everyone out here today: he wanted to celebrate Tia's birthday.

Initially, she had even thought that Stanley had forgotten about the fact.

"How could I forget such an important day?" Stanley replied, his voice warm and affectionate.

Then, he produced an ornamented, rectangular box and proffered it to her. "This is for you. Happy birthday."

Tia opened her gift, and to her surprise, she found a 24-carat diamond necklace, the design of which she had always fancied.

"Thank you, Stanley!" Tia said, feeling warm and fuzzy from within.

Smiling, Stanley took the necklace out and cuffed it to Tia's neck.
