Chapter 10 Love Token
Florence opened it and found it was a bracelet with a heart-shaped pendant, inlaid with sapphires.
Florence couldn't help but sigh in awe, "It's so beautiful, and it looks so expensive."
"It's not worth anything, just a few hundreds. Plus, the diamonds are plastic." Alexander was talking nonsense in a serious way.
Although Florence was respected as a noble miss of a wealthy family, she rarely reached luxury goods. It was already a great fortune for her to graduate smoothly without starving herself and have less trouble from Colleen and her mother.
Not to mention a bracelet that was worth eight million and was called the Heart of the Goddess. How could Florence recognize such a priceless bracelet? Even if she could tell its great values, she dared not to believe it.
Alexander was just an online car-hailing driver and couldn't take out several million.
When she heard that it was only worth a few hundred, Florence was a little relieved. She was really afraid it was too expensive.
What was important was not how expensive the gift was, but the love and care in it.
"It looks so real. I thought it was an authentic gemstone." Florence truly loved it, "It's beautiful. I like it very much, but I didn't prepare a gift for you yet."
Alexander leaned over slightly and said in her ear with a mellow voice, "I've already received your gift."
When did she give him any gifts?
How come she didn't know that?
"You are the best gift to me."
Florence walked into the company as Alexander's last words were still echoing in her ears and her cheeks were burning hot slightly.
Florence found that Alexander was too good at flirting.
One sentence or one move he unintentionally said or did was enough to make her heartbeat become faster.
"Florence, Florence, what are you thinking about? I was calling your name many times, but you didn't respond." The team leader Evelyn Carson came over with a stack of materials in her hands, "Translate these before the end of the day. Those superiors are anxious to get these materials translated."
Florence returned to her senses, took the materials, and casually flipped through a few pages, "Okay, I'll sort it out before the end of the day."
Evelyn stared at Florence's face, "Florence, why is your face so red?"
"Huh?" Florence touched her face, which was a little hot, and quickly said, "I ran up here because I thought I was late."
Evelyn suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Did you hear that Mr. Connor had already made our boss' daughter get pregnant? And he will soon become the boss' son-in-law. In that case, his career is taking off 20 years earlier than it should be."
Actually, if he really became the son-in-law of the big boss, how could it only be 20 years?
As she was saying, a woman with brown and wavy hair walked in with her sexy body figure and posture. She went straight toward Emmett Connor's office.
Florence took a glance. That woman was exactly the big boss' daughter, Giselle Sawyer.
Soon, the blinds of the manager's office closed and the door was shut.
Evelyn tilted her mouth, wearing disdain on her face, "These days, even men are starting to live off women."
Florence laughed and did not comment.
It was a very busy day. After Florence's task was finished, it was time to leave work. Her colleagues also packed up and prepared to leave work one after another.
Florence was also packing her things when Giselle suddenly came, "I dropped my bracelet. No one is allowed to leave until the bracelet is found."
As soon as she finished her words, a bracelet fell out of Florence's bag.
Everyone stared at Florence with various looks on their faces.
That bracelet was the love token given by Alexander.
Giselle's voice was sharp, "This is my bracelet, you thief. Emmett, call the police immediately and send this woman to the police station."
Instantly, people in the company were gossiping around.
Florence did not get along well with others in her normal days. Plus, she was very pretty and was hailed as Cold Goddess by the male colleagues in the company, which made many young girls jealous.
Now that the Cold Goddess became a thief, many people were naturally gloating.
Florence looked calm, "Ms. Sawyer, you misunderstood. This is my bracelet."
