Skylar stared up at him in a daze, clutching the necklace in her hand. If she remembered correctly, the price of this necklace was about seven hundred when bought online.
Thinking that she was waiting for him to put it on, Tobias reached out to take the necklace from her, but she didn’t let go of it.
“Why did you choose this brand? And why a little black swan?” The blunt words finally left Skylar’s mouth. She had an inkling that Tobias had not personally picked this necklace. He was the kind of person who thought the more expensive the gift was, the better. He would not usually even consider buying anything that was priced less than a thousand.
Tobias could tell from her expression that she didn’t like the gift as much as he thought she would. He’d asked Susan to help pick the necklace out, and all his secretary had told him was that the brand was popular amongst young people.
He didn’t know how much it had cost either; after all, it was the company’s money, and he couldn’t be bothered to care.
When he first laid eyes upon the necklace, he hadn’t been sure if it was gold or silver and didn’t even like the pendant on it but felt like he didn’t understand a young person’s tastes enough to question it.
“You don’t like it? I thought it suited your image; it’s youthful and cute,” Tobias explained. He had put effort into preparing this gift for her and was slightly hurt that he hadn’t gotten the response that he’d been anticipating.
Skylar instantly put her acting skills to good use, a bright smile blooming across her face as she clung onto his arm and nuzzled him as a cat would. “Of course I like it. I’d love anything you give me. Help me put it on, would you?”
