Gabrielle was a jewelry designer. She was conversant with all these jewelry companies and agencies, especially the large-scale ones like YZ Jewelry. She knew this one very well.
"Ms. Jones seems to know more than I expected you did." Nathan looked at Gabrielle with a faint smile, which somehow made her feel like her heart skipped a beat.
But she instantly came up with an idea.
"Mr. Sanderson, you do own YZ Jewelry, right?" Gabrielle openly expressed her disbelief.
"Of course. It's a company that I oversee. It's unbelievable that Ms. Jones has known about it. Would it be right if I talked about jewelry with you?" Rather than getting irritated, Nathan gave a friendly smile.
Nonetheless, even that kind of smile still looked very forged.
It didn't occur to Gabrielle that Nathan was a mogul again. Needless to say, moguls always hanged out with other moguls.
Melissa's friend's son ought not to be like the average man.
"Without a doubt, I'm very pleased to talk with you." Gabrielle smiled.
Anyway, YZ Jewelry had existed for quite a long time. If Nathan was the boss, he would then count as senior in the jewelry venture.
By all means, Gabrielle should show him respect.
"Ms. Jones, we are peers and nearly the same age. Well, I am trying to say that you don't need to treat me as a senior. You could treat me as a friend if you can." Looking into Gabrielle's eyes, Nathan could read something in them.
That was nothing less than respect.
He wasn't very pleased with how she dealt with him.
"Mr. Sanderson, I find it more appropriate treating you as a senior." There was no way Gabrielle was going to accept him as a friend.
It was due to the disparity in their identities. Most significantly, she knew nothing about him. She was indifferent when it came to making friends. Moreover, she was married to a jealous man. How could she put another man in the picture?
"Well, Ms. Jones, you can have it your way. I've never been the persuasive type of man." Nathan obviously knew Gabrielle didn't want to make friends with him, let alone have anything to do with him.
Did she have a boyfriend or was he not alluring enough? Nathan believed in the former. No woman ever dodged his charm. To say the least, Gabrielle had a boyfriend to whom she was very loyal.
It was not in Nathan's nature to get so intrigued by a woman.
Then, Nathan reorganized his thoughts and had a talk about jewelry with Gabrielle. The air felt peaceful.
"Mr. Sanderson, it didn't occur to me that you had such vast knowledge." After a rather long talk, she could clearly tell that Nathan was a good jewelry businessman. He knew a lot about jewelry and had answers to most of the questions she asked.
"What can I say? I don't know much but am in the business. Would I sell a product if I knew nothing about it?" Nathan smiled sardonically.
After the conversation with her, he was sure that Gabrielle was a pure woman and she exclusively cared about the jewelry.
"Ms. Jones, where are you employed currently? Do you own a studio or do you work for a company?" Nathan shifted the subject.
