Gabrielle nodded.

“Good taste.” Zachary curled his lips.
He signaled the manager to take out the necklace.
The manager carefully opened the display case and took out the necklace.
Zachary took the necklace and put it on Gabrielle himself.
The cold chain lay against her warm skin.
The pink diamond shone brightly on her fair neck.
Made her look even more charming.
“Looks great on you.” Zachary looked at Gabrielle in the mirror and genuinely praised her.
Gabrielle looked at herself in the mirror and thought she was beautiful
too.
This necklace was like it was made just for her.
“This necklace was called ‘One and Ever‘.”
The manager introduced at the right time nearby.
“The main stone was an extremely rare Argyle pink diamond, weighing
ten carats.”
“It was just bought back from the auction last month.”

“The only one in the world.”
“One and Ever…” Gabrielle whispered the name, feeling a little moved.
Zachary looked at her, his eyes gentle and deep.
“Yes, One and Ever.”
“Just like you, you were my one and ever.”
His voice was low and magnetic, with a touch of deep affection.
Gabrielle’s heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks turned a little red.
This man always managed to touch her heartstrings when she least expected it.
Just then, there was the sound of footsteps outside the exhibition hall.
A slightly sharp female voice sounded.
“Mr. Boyd, is the ‘One and Ever‘ necklace I ordered ready?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman dressed in a Chanel suit, looking all put together.
But a middle–aged woman with an arrogant look walked in.
There was a young girl behind her who looked like an assistant.
The middle–aged woman/saw Zachary and Gabrielle and paused for a second.
When her eyes landed on the necklace around Gabrielle’s neck, her face instantly darkened.
“How did this necklace end up on her neck?”

The middle–aged woman questioned the manager, her tone full of strong dissatisfaction.
“Didn’t I book it a long time ago?*
The manager looked a bit embarrassed and quickly explained
“Sorry. Mrs. Henting, this necklace.”
“This Mr. Monroe already bought it.”
The woman called Theresa Herring frowned even more
She looked at Zachary, her eyes had a scrutinizing look.
Zachary was well–known in Mossvale, but he kept a low profile.
Not all people in high society knew him.
Theresa obviously didn’t know him.
“Who are you?” she asked, not sounding friendly.
“Why did you take what I reserved?”
Zachary didn’t even lift his eyelids, like he didn’t hear what she said.
He just looked down at Gabrielle and asked gently
“Did you like anything else?”
This complete disregard made Theresa feel deeply insulted.
Anger showed on her well–kept face.
“I was talking to you, didn’t you hear me?”
She turned up the volume.

Zachary finally looked up slowly, his eyes cold as he looked at her.
“What are you, you think you deserve to talk to me?”
His tone was contemptuous, full of the arrogance of someone in power.
Theresa was so angry that her face turned pale.
“You… you sure had some nerve!”
“Do you know who I was? I was the wife of the chairman of the Herring Group!”
“the Herring Group?” Zachary raised an eyebrow, seemed to think for a
moment.
“Oh, was that the Herring Group whose cash flow almost broke recently and was begging everyone for investment?”
His tone had a hint of sarcasm.
Theresa’s face got even worse right away.
The Herring Group really did run into big trouble recently.
This was also why she was in a hurry to pick up the necklace today.
She wanted to wear this priceless necklace to an important dinner party.
I hoped to use this chance to meet some big shots who could help the Herring Group get through tough times.
