Chapter 118
Did he seriously fall in love with her?
Shane looked elsewhere and stated, “As soon as Project Rebirth achieves its success, we’ll be able to
venture into the fashion industry. Since she’s the one who has contributed the most, she deserves it.”
“That being said, shouldn’t you give her something else to compensate her for her hard work? I have
never heard of compensating employees with precious gemstones. Apart from that, the show has yet
begun, right? Don’t you think we should refrain from jumping to the conclusion?”
After Shane heard Silas’ murmur, he cast a stern gaze at him.
Catching Shane’s glare, Silas dared not poke his nose into the former’s business anymore and
proceeded to get in touch with the owner of the store as instructed.
Soon, the owner of the store showed up in front of Natalie with Heart of Fire and helped her to put it on.
Watching from afar, Shane noticed she seemed to have turned into another person after she put it on.
It felt as though she was an honorable woman, worthy of the precious and exquisite piece.
The Heart of Fire didn’t affect her look at all. Instead, the gemstones had complimented her beauty
perfectly.
It felt as though Heart of Fire had been custom made for Natalie.
Silas finally returned to Shane and told him, “Mr. Shane, everything is done.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout giving any response, Shane ignored him and had his eyes glued to the ethereal-looking
Natalie.
Silas looked in the direction of his gaze and exclaimed when he saw Natalie, “I knew it! Heart of Fire is
the right piece for Ms. Smith!”
Few seconds later, Shane turned away and said to Silas, “Alright. Let’s get going. Go bring the stuff we
have bought for Jacqueline. She’s still waiting for our return.”
“Yes!”
Meanwhile, Natalie, who was in the store, removed the necklace and placed in on the velvet tray
gently.
Smiling, the owner of the store asked, “What do you think, Miss?”
“It’s perfect...”
Natalie couldn’t help but exclaim in awe. This was the first time she had encountered such a precious
diamond.
A friend of her mentor was a gemstone enthusiast and collector. She had a similar precious diamond,
yet it wasn’t a match for the one in front of her in terms of size.
“I’m glad you like it, Miss. I’ll proceed to check this out on your behalf.” As soon as the owner of the
store finished her sentence, she brought the tray away with her to the counter.
Natalie got in her way and yelled, “Wait! I didn’t say I’ll going to take it! After all, I can’t afford such an
expensive piece!”
She was glad because she had the opportunity to put it on. Never had she thought of possessing such
an exquisite piece.
Smiling, the owner assured courteously, “Miss, someone has bought Heart of Fire for you. Therefore...”
“Someone has bought it for me? Who could it be?”
A few people popped up in her mind after the store owner said so.
“It’s Mr. Thompson, Miss.”
“Mr. Thompson? Could it be Sean?”
The owner didn’t respond to Natalie’s query and headed over to the counter with Heart of Fire.
After a few minutes, Natalie walked out of the jewelry store with a necklace that costed a fortune.
She couldn’t believe she was the rightful owner of a necklace that was worth tens of millions.
Although she was thrilled, she had no intention to hold on to it and was determined to return it to Sean
after the birthday banquet.
Once she made up her mind, she brought herself out of the mall and returned home.
A few days later, it was finally Sean’s birthday.
As the banquet would be held in the evening, Natalie dropped her children off at Joyce’s place before
hailing a cab to the hotel.
By the time she reached the hotel, the hall was already filled with guests.
After she surveyed the surroundings, she noticed there weren’t any familiar faces around. In the end,
she got herself a glass of wine and took a seat at the corner of the venue, waiting for the banquet to
begin.
Ten minutes later, her eyes gleamed in excitement as she spotted a familiar figure. She got up from her
seat and approached the man. “Mr. James.”
When the man heard her voice, he wrapped up his conversation with others and turned around to greet
her in return, “Hello, Nat!”
“Hello, Mr. James. I didn’t expect I would run into you here.” Smiling, Natalie initiated a handshake
courteously.
He returned the favor and replied, “Likewise! Since when have you returned?”
“I have been back since about a month ago.”
“Speaking of which, how is Mercede’s condition?”
Natalie beamed her reply, “Things are pretty much the same, but before making my way back, he has
instructed me to send you his regards if I ever run into you. He wants to know when are you going to
deliver the checkerboard to him?”
Mr. James seemed to be slightly embarrassed by her words. He chuckled in return and assured,
“Hahaha! I’ll definitely keep that in mind and get it done as soon as possible!”
