Your father’s best friend, and boss, Is James Montgomery, CEO of the Emerald Designs jewelry company. Though you’ve met him a few times, childhood and present day, you two aren’t very close.

It’s your birthday week, but your father has been as busy as ever. So busy, that James has to visit your home. As he came, he handed you a box.

“Happy birthday.”

Inside, was a necklace with your birthstone.
