After his dad''s haircut, Noah and David stepped out of the barber shop.


    "Let''s buy mom, something nice," Noah said, as he walked with his dad to a famous woman''s brand.


    Five minutester, they left after buying his mom a long, elegant dress with matching sandals.


    ncing at the time, David realised it''s time to pick up Caroline.


    "Just on time, we can pick up your mom on time." David said, as he nced at his watch.


    Noah nodded, as they walked to the parking lot.


    ...


    Noah parked the G-ss in front of the restaurant where his mom was waiting outside, looking around with a curious expression.


    She didn''t even nce twice at the luxurious SUV that rolled up until the window slowly slid down, revealing her Noah''s grin.


    "Mom," Noah called, waving from the driver''s seat.


    Caroline blinked, squinting to get a better look at the car''s interior.


    "Noah? What are you doing in this car?" Her voice held a mix of surprise and curiosity.


    "Get in first," Noah replied with a chuckle, gesturing to the back seat.


    "I''ll exin on the way."


    She nodded, settling into the plush leather of the back seat.


    As he drove away, Noah filled her in on the details, exining how he''d borrowed the car for the day.


    "Your friend is interesting," Caroline said, casting an admiring look around the car''s luxurious interior.


    "That''s what I said," David said with a small smile.


    "Oh, and there''s a little something in the bag next to you," Noah added, ncing at her through the rearview mirror with a smile.


    "It''s an outfit we picked out for you, for the teahouse opening. You can change once we get there."


    Caroline''s eyes softened as she galnced into the bag, carefully lifting out a beautiful, elegant dress.


    She gasped, touching the soft fabric, her eyes reflecting a mix of happiness and surprise.


    Arriving at the teahouse, Noah parked at the curb.


    David stepped out of the car first, adjusting his suit.


    Caroline took one look at him, her smile widening.


    "Honey, you look very handsome," she said with a yful wink, clearly admiring the suit.


    David returned her smile, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead. "And you''re as gorgeous as ever," he replied warmly.


    Noah with a smile, from the side.


    They entered the teahouse, where everything had been carefully set up. His mom went to change into her outfit, emerging a few minutester looking radiant in the dress Noah had picked.


    David''s eyes lit up. "You look stunning," he said with admiration clear on his face.


    Caroline blushed, brushing her hands over the dress''s fabric. "Thank you. And thank you, Noah, this dress is beautiful."


    "You both deserve to look your best," Noah replied, grinning at their happiness.


    "Today''s a big day, after all."


    He nced around, ensuring everything was ready for the opening.


    The red ribbon was already set up outside, he had ordered it with a few other things a couple of days ago.


    Moving further inside, he headed to therge room where he''d prepared the equipment.


    In the corner of the room sat the tea-processing machine he''d acquired from the system, very futuristic waiting for its first use.


    Stacks of boxes filled with tea leaves stood neatly against the wall, their aroma filling the room.


    Noah ran a hand over one of the boxes, feeling the dried leaves crinkle under his fingers.


    He just needed to add some leaves to the machine and test it out.


    Taking a handful of the leaves, he gently poured them into the machine''s intake. The machine hummed to life, and with a press of a few buttons.


    After a moment, a small, elegantly packaged bundle of tea leaves appeared, looking ordinary at first nce.


    Picking up the packet, Noah could sense a unique quality radiating from it—a subtle presence that wasn''t there before.


    "Interesting," he muttered, examining the package. "it''s the same packaging of the system."


    He ced about a kilogram of tea leaves on the machine''s intake tray, wanting to test its capacity.


    "Let''s see what it will do with arger quantity," He thought.


    Again, arge simrly luxurious package emerged, the machine adapted to amodate the bigger quantity.


    "That''s impressive," he murmured, intrigued.


    "It detects the quantity of tea leaves and chooses the appropriate packaging automatically."


    Noah nced at the high-quality finish of the packages the machine provided, each one giving an air of exclusivity and luxury.


    He could feel the difference, even if it wasn''t visible to the naked eye.


    These were no longer just tea leaves—they were magical, with qualities that would give anyone drinking it an experience they will never forget in their lives making them alwayse back for more.


    He heard footsteps behind him and turned to see his parents entering, their expressions curious.


    "What are you up to back here? Is this the machine you were talking about? " David asked, eyeing the machine with intrigue.


    Noah nodded, his smile widening. "Indeed, this is the machine we made. Want to try it?"


    His parent''s eyes slowly widened as they saw the machine work, with Noah cing different quantities.


    "This… this is incredible," he said, looking at the machine''s different qualities. "It''s very efficient, you guys are geniuses."


    "We didn''t do much, we have basically used AI to detect width, length and height of the box needed to fill in the tea leaves," He made a random excuse, to exin the machines intelligence.


    His parents nodded, although they didn''t understand artificial intelligence enough. They knew enough to understand the basics of what noah was implying.


    "Alright, mom, dad. Let''s head out, the visitors should be arriving soon." He said, with a smile.N?v(el)B\\jnn


    "Dad, I will teach you how to operate the macher. It''s not hard, so don''t worry." He said, reassuring his dad who looked worried about itsplexity.


    As they waited outside, Noah decided to call Aiden.


    "Hey, I''m opening up a teahouse. Do you want toe?" Noah said, as Aiden picked up.


    "Wow, chill out okay! You can''t just drop this bomb and act like this nothing."


    "Why am I hearing about this on the opening day!" He shouted across the phone.


    "My bad, I was quite busy with preparation. Want toe yes or no, stop yapping." He said.


    "I''ming, damn it. Send me the location," He said, kissing his teeth at Noah.


    "Alright, make sure you bring your stand and everything. Let''s film your second video," He said, as a grin formed on his face.


    "Alright, bet." Aiden said, with an excited tone.


    As he ended the call, a car approached.


    David squinted, watching the military car park, his expression growing tense as he saw Amelia and her family step out, elegantly dressed.


    "Military? Why are they here, Noah?" David whispered, his face marked with concern as his gaze bounced between his son and the car.


    Noah chuckled, patting his dad''s shoulder. "Rx, Dad. It''s all good. Just some friends dropping by."


    Caroline, however, was too distracted to hear the exchange. Her gaze was locked on Amelia, her jaw nearly hitting the ground.


    The woman who stepped out was nothing short of breathtaking.


    Even with the sunsses covering her eyes, Amelia radiated a natural grace and elegance that seemed straight out of a fantasy movie.


    Her skin was the natural pale, her deep ck hair cascaded down her back like a shimmering waterfall.


    Caroline''s astonishment only grew as another stunning woman stepped out of the car beside her—Amelia''s mother, Carmi. Together, they looked like royalty.


    As the family approached, Noah stepped forward with a warm grin. "Amelia, auntie carmi , uncle adam, I''m d you all could make it!"


    Amelia nodded her posture shy and reserved, her eyes beautiful eyes sparkling under the sunsses as she looked at Noah.


    Adamughed and said.


    "Wouldn''t miss it for the world. I told you, I will be here when the teahouse is opened," he took in the elegant interior, nodding approvingly.


    "Thanks for the invitation," Carmi added, looking around with a pleasant smile.


    "Thank you, uncle, auntie" Noah replied respectfully, nodding in return.


    Turning towards his parents, he introduced his family. "Dad, Mom, this is Amelia my friend , her mom Carmi, and her dad Adam."


    Caroline, snapping out of her stupor, quickly extended her hand to Carmi. "It''s such a pleasure to meet you. I can see where Amelia gets her grace from."


    Carmi epted the handshake with a warm smile. "Thank you, Caroline. And it''s wonderful to finally meet Noah''s family. You have brought him up in a splendid manor."


    David, still processing the unexpected guests, shook Adam''s hand firmly. "Wee, and thank you foring. I… wasn''t expecting the military to join us," he joked, smiling to break the ice.


    Adam chuckled, his deep voice carrying warmth. "No uniforms today, David. Just here to make friends."


    David chuckled, as he got to know Adam. Simrly, Caroline, Ame and Carmi had bonded already.
