Men must not fancy being referred to as beautiful.
No matter how gorgeous a man was, he did not want to be called pretty.
Her hasty words must have caused Nathan's irritation.
To save her face, he did not say a word in front of Ms. Glyn. However, Gabrielle still felt quite uneasy.
The thought of it still ran through Gabrielle's mind even though she had already gone into the exhibition hall. If Nathan was offended by her words, she was determined to find some time to apologize to him later.
"This jewelry exhibit garnered top-notch pieces from all over the world. It's the biggest and most extravagant jewelry exhibit in Southeast Asia this year." Melissa held Gabrielle's hand as she gave a brief background of each of the gems on display.
The intimate jewelry exhibit in Antawood sometime ago couldn't compare to this luxurious event.
It was Gabrielle's first time to go to a jewelry exhibit as big and as glorious as this. Gabrielle had only ever seen the jewelry on display at this event in magazines. This was her first time seeing them in the flesh.
She was beyond grateful to Melissa that she had the chance to see these breathtakingly gorgeous pieces with her own two eyes.
"Ms. Glyn, I couldn't thank you enough. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to see such rare treasures," Gabrielle said as she looked at Melissa with joyous and thankful eyes.
In Gabrielle's heart, Melissa was not only her mentor but also her benefactor.
This opportunity was granted to her by Melissa.
"Gabrielle, you don't have to thank me. It's God's will. He took you here because you are insanely talented." Melissa was humble enough not to take credit. It made her ecstatic that Gabrielle had finally spread her wings and flew into the horizon. For her, thanking her was unnecessary.
On top of that, it was fate that brought them together in Bangkok. Since the jewelry exhibit was held here, there was no reason for Melissa not to bring Gabrielle with her.
"Ms. Jones, if you train under Ms. Glyn, she will take you to any exhibit you wish to attend," Nathan said with a smile.
"You're exaggerating, Nathan. Don't get Gabrielle's hopes up," Melissa interrupted. Her face was adorned with a gorgeous smile. She did not want to be put on a pedestal.
As an expert in the jewelry industry, it was only normal for her to come across acquaintances in such events.
"Gabrielle, feel free to look around. I'm going to say hi to some friends. Nathan… I will leave Gabrielle in your capable hands. Take care of her," Melissa ordered.
"Don't worry, Ms. Glyn. I will look after her. I won't let anything happen to her," Nathan replied as he gazed at Melissa with a ginormous smile on his lips.
"Ms. Glyn, don't worry too much. I can take care of myself. I don't want to be a burden to Mr. Sanderson," Gabrielle explained. She did not want Melissa to waste her time worrying about her.
"You two get along well. Nathan… you are quite experienced in this. If something confuses Gabrielle, be sure to walk her through it. Now, if you'd please excuse me." Those were Melissa's last words before she left to say hello to her friends.
Awkwardness filled the air around them as Gabrielle and Nathan were left alone.
Gabrielle put her best efforts into studying the pieces on display. She took their structure, origin, design, concepts and even their creators in careful consideration.
All her attention was focused on the jewelry.
