In the room, Sharon took out the pocket watch from the box.
Then she took out the purchase record in the bag.
She confirmed the number of the model again.
She looked over and over again until she finally saw a slight difference.
Josh had kept this pocket watch for more than twenty years, which was worn badly.
So there were several scratches on it.
She hadn't noticed them.
However, there was a letter underneath one of it.
It could vaguely tell that it was an M.
But Talon’s name was not related to this letter.
Sharon looked through the purchase record thoroughly.
Then, she discovered that only Talon's purchase record had a small asterisk on it.
Sharon thought for a moment.
She called the person in charge.
"Mr.Muller, this is Sharon.Sorry to bother you so late.I want to consult you with something."
"Sure."
"I just looked at the purchase record and saw an asterisk, but there's no other explanation about it.I want to know what it means.’
"Well, it means that this one is our special client.Our pocket watches can be customized for special clients.But I remember that we have very few special clients."
Sharon held her breath and asked cautiously, "So, who can be the special clients?"
"Normally, they would be the higher-ups in the manufactory, or...Oh right, Mr.Beale had also customized two pocket watches."
Sharon continued to ask, "Who is Mr.Beale?"
"The land for the entire factory belongs to Mr.Beale.He also has invested in the factory."
The old man said to himself, "Oh, yes! Mr.Beale must have customized two pocket watches before.At that time, I was in charge of receiving him.He said that these pocket watches were wedding gifts for his wife.One was carved with his name in it, and the other was with his wife's name.’
Hearing this, Sharon already got the answer.
She said, "I see.Thank you, Mr.Muller."
After hanging up the phone, Sharon kept looking at the pocket watch without saying anything.
She didn't know how long had passed, there was a light knock on the door.
Then the door was pushed open.
Tiffany poked her head in and asked, "Sharon, are you busy? Dinner is getting cold.Do you want to eat it first?"
Sharon stopped thinking.
She put down the pocket watch and smiled, "Alright."
At dinner, seeing that Sharon was absent-minded, Tiffany thought that Sharon was still worried about the purchase record, so she comforted, "Sharon, don't think too much.So many people bought that kind of pocket watch.Maybe it's not...Aren't there some phone numbers on it? Let's try them one by one tomorrow.If it doesn't work, we can..."
Sharon said, "Tiffany, I am fine.Let's do what you said first."
Hearing this, Tiffany nodded and stopped the topic.
Then, she took out her phone and said, "Sharon, I've seen a few houses.These two are pretty good.Let's take a look together on weekend."
After a moment of silence, Sharon finally said, "Tiffany, I may not be able to go with you.I need to go somewhere else."
Tiffany revealed an ambiguous smile, "Are you going to live with Mr.Proctor?"
Sharon smiled and shook her head, "I'll tell you later."
Right now, she didn't know how to say.
Everything was just her guess.
However, no matter what, she had to figure it out.
Tiffany said, "Alright, but you must tell me when you are in trouble.Don't just keep it to yourself."
"Alright."
