At the Davis & Co. Company.
Lora had a day when she received private consultations from VIP clients who wanted their jewelry designed by her.
Hannah walked into the office and announced, “Miss Davis, the last VIP client has arrived.”
Lora looked up and nodded, “Send them in.”
A few minutes later, the door opened and a beautiful striking woman with an elegant poise walked into the office.
Lora’s eyes widened slightly when she saw who it was.
The client was none other than, Diane Kingsley, Ryan’s sister.
Lora masked her surprise with a professional smile, her stomach knotting with nerves. Why was Diane here? Did Ryan send her?
'What do I have to do to get rid of Ryan completely?' She asked herself in her mind. After promising Jason that she would stay away from Ryan, she didn't want to be entangled with anyone who was close to him.
“Good afternoon, Miss Kingsley-”
“Oh stop it, Lora. Call me Diane. I’m not into that formal stuff,” Diane remarked enthusiastically as she invited herself to take a seat opposite Lora.
Lora smiled genuinely, feeling no bad intent from Diane. She replied, “Well then, Diane. What can I do for you?”
Diane glanced around the office and nodded in approval. She then turned her attention back to Lora and said, “I loved your work and I know I had purchased a lot of jewelry at the launch party but a lady needs more jewelry, right?”
She laughed and added, “I wanted to have a piece customised by you… only your creativity can bring out my vision.”
Lora nodded, feeling at ease with Diane. She had this warm personality that gave people a sense of belonging. Smiling, she offered, “I would love to hear what ideas you have and I’ll try my best to bring them to life.”
“Really?” Diane’s eyes lit up. “I knew you could do it! Ok, let me tell you. I want…”
Diane went ahead to describe the details she would love to see on the necklace she wanted Lora to design and Lora listened patiently while writing down notes in her notebook.
“I want the details to be something that represents my family- my brother, grandpa, my late mom and Dad even though we don’t really get along,” Diane added and her voice suddenly trailed, a thought creeping into her mind as she stared at Lora.
