At a restaurant a payment goes through and Sophie outlines a bold plan: host a birthday banquet for the speaker's father, a long-time driver, and propose there with a 50 million dowry. Chad, who overheard the earlier call, is suspected but identities are kept secret. Sophie delays revealing details and vows to wait for the "big surprise" at the banquet. Later they go shopping; a man pays for her clothes and says, "I owed you in my past life," repaying a debt. The speaker admits they might accept Sophie’s proposal, leaving the banquet and its surprise unresolved.
