My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 181

Xanthea scanned the display, and her gaze finally rested on a pair of crystal cufflinks. The brilliance and clarity of the crystals were striking, and she loved both the material and the intricate design around the edges.

Noticing her interest, the manager complimented, "Miss, you have an excellent eye. These cufflinks are crafted by the renowned designer Alessio and are exclusive to our Celestial Jewels Emporium here. They're truly one of a kind!”

"They are beautiful, but..."

As Xanthea picked up the cufflinks, she examined them closely. The side pattern looked like two hands tightly intertwined.

"They seemed like they're designed for couples."

Taken aback, the senior manager pondered.

Indeed, the cufflinks were a couple's set. Was it possible that this lady, who came to such a high-end luxury shop, wasn’t planning to gift them to a boyfriend or husband?

"May I ask, miss, who are you planning to gift these men's accessories to?"

"A friend," Xanthea replied, then added, "A very special and important friend."

Understanding dawned on the manager.

Ah, the potential love interest in the ambiguous early stages! Gifting a couple’s item could indeed advance their relationship.

"Maybe I'll look somewhere else."

"Please wait, miss!"

The manager stopped her as she turned to leave.

Although she was masked and hatted, her stature and demeanor hinted at someone from a wealthy or distinguished background. He couldn’t just watch a potential sale walk away.

He picked up the cufflinks again, and started to bend the truth a bit, "You must have misunderstood earlier; these are just regular cufflinks, not meant for couples."

"Really?" Xanthea raised an eyebrow. "And the hands?"
