Chapter 183 Happy Birthday, Lainie!
"The director asked me to tell you that the 084 item is your birthday gift. I wish you a happy birthday."
Coulson took out a delicate gift box from his arms and handed it to Lainie.
"This gift is mine. It's a return gift for the sunglasses you gave me."
Laini was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that today was August 23, her birthday.
"Giving me 084 on my birthday? You're really stingy."
She reached out to take the gift from Coulson. It was a pencil case-sized gift box. It was hard to guess what was inside from the outer packaging.
"Wait a minute, so these guys are sneaking around behind my back today because today is my birthday?"
Laini's expression was a little weird. She had already noticed Skye and Simmons's little moves.
How could she not notice the little moves of these two girls sneaking into her bedroom after lunch when she always had her radar on?
"Really? Then I don't know. They didn't tell me that they were going to prepare a surprise for you."
Coulson coughed lightly and stepped forward to block the view of the three people in the laboratory.
"So... the reason why Skye is still hiding in her room is to prepare a surprise for me?"
Laini found it a little funny. She hadn't seen Skye this afternoon, and Simmons said that she was resting because she was not feeling well.
"They are coming out. I suggest you pretend you don't know."
Laughing and shaking her head, Lainie put away Coulson's gift and looked at the three people who came out of the laboratory with big and small bags as if nothing had happened.
Pretending not to know the little calculations of these people, Lainie took the lead to walk to the elevator.
Everyone went straight to the dormitory area, and the few people behind them followed Lainie slowly, winking at each other.
"Are you two sure everything is ready?"
"Don't worry! It's all right!"
"Where's Skye? Haven't seen her for a long time?"
Simmons was a little impatient with Fitz's question, so he had to take out his mobile phone to show him a look.
The screen showed the situation when Skye was setting up the mechanism in the afternoon. At that time, Skye was fiddling with a cream cake.
In order to prevent Lainie from noticing anything, Simmons just waved the phone in front of Fitz and took it back.
Little did he know that Lainie had already talked about everything by heart, and she even took the initiative to explore Skye's room.
But she found that the girl didn't look uncomfortable at all. At this time, she was sitting with a woman who looked like Melinda!
"Why are you following me?"
The elevator stopped, Lainie walked out of the elevator, but found that several people behind her were also following her, pretending to look at them strangely.
"Ah... Let's go see if Skye is better, you do your thing, it's okay."
Simmons reacted the fastest and hurriedly explained that he was concerned about Skye's condition.
"Yes! We want to go see Skye."
Fitz got excited and didn't care whether it was appropriate for him, a man, to appear in Skye's room at this time.
Coulson was much simpler and more direct. He just said that he had something to talk to Skye about and to see if she could still receive training tomorrow.
Lainie narrowed her eyes and stared at Fitz. The reasons of the other people were reasonable, but why did you, a grown man, join in the fun!
"Okay, I'll go see her too."
Retracting her hand that was about to push the door, Lainie turned and walked towards Skye's door.
"Well, it's okay. We are enough for her. Don't you want to rest? You should rest first. Besides, Skye is not in good condition now. It's not appropriate to have too many people..."
The more he talked, the more outrageous it seemed. Simmons couldn't say anything.
Lainie had a trace of suspicion on her face and stared at Simmons for a while.
"Okay, say hello for me."
Lainie retracted the expression on her face and went back to her door to unlock it by swiping the card.
"Ding! Welcome home, Miss Lainie."
The mechanized female voice sounded, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Simmons glared at Fitz fiercely, signaling him not to talk nonsense, and then reached out to pull Meister and pulled her away from Lainie's door.
Fitz scratched his head in embarrassment, and followed the two people to pass behind Lainie.
Coulson, who was the last one to come, noticed the problem and stood still without moving.
"Humph, since you took the initiative to deliver it to me, you can only consider yourself unlucky."
Lainie, who was facing away from everyone and pretending to push the door, had a sly smile on her face, and then suddenly pushed the door open.
Bang!
The door hit the wall, making a muffled bang, and at the same time Lainie dodged to the side.
A white object almost brushed Lainie's face and flew past, drawing an arc and heading straight for Fitz who had just passed the door.
Pah!
I saw a whole piece of milky white cream cake was now firmly stuck on Fitz's side face, and then it couldn't resist the gravity of the earth and fell to the ground.
"Surprise!"
Skye's door was suddenly opened, and Skye was the first to rush out, shouting surprise alone.
However, when Skye jumped out of the room and stood firm, she realized that the person with cream cake thrown on her face at Lainie's door was not Lainie.
"Uh... what's going on?"
Skye was a little confused, and Meister covered her face and shook her head helplessly.
She had said that this trick would not work on Lainie. That girl could dodge bullets, so how could she not dodge a piece of cake?
"Skye, this is your idea, right?"
Leni straightened her face and stared seriously at Skye, who was still in the Surprise pose.
"Ah...we...we just want to give you a surprise and wish you a happy birthday."
Skye was a little embarrassed and stood there at a loss.
Simmons was the first to react and hurriedly ran into Skye's house to get a tissue and handed it to Fitz.
Leni looked around at a few people and exhaled softly.
"Thank you, thank you for preparing a surprise for me, but I prefer it to be more plain. It's better not to surprise me like this next time."
She wasn't too harsh on Skye, Leni actually knew what the other person was thinking.
Skye cherishes everyone in the investigation team and wants to integrate with everyone.
The reason why I am so concerned about Leni's birthday this time is because she has never attended a friend's birthday party, let alone celebrated her own birthday.
So she wanted to take this opportunity to experience planning and make up for her childhood regrets.
Therefore, Leni did not continue to put pressure on Skye. After thanking everyone, Leni turned and stepped into the entrance hall and turned on the switch of the chandelier in the living room.
Bang!
As the lights in the room turned on, the mechanism on the ceiling was triggered, and a stuffed toy hidden in a box by Meister fell down and landed right in front of Leni.
I saw the plush toy holding a banner with Happy Birthday written on it!
Before Leni could react, everyone behind her shouted in unison again.
"Surprise!!"
At the same time, the doors of several surrounding rooms were also opened, and many familiar faces of Leni came out, shouting surprises and gathering in the corridor behind Leni.
At this time, the room was filled with balloons, flowers and ribbons, the walls were covered with happy birthday cards and photos of Leni, and countless gifts were piled in the corners.
"Happy birthday Leni!"
