Anna whispered to her, through gritted teeth, “Don’t stoop to her level-she’s just a low-rank werewo Remember who you are-a noble descendant. Act like it.”

I just smiled at their little show, said nothing, and waved the worker over to keep polishing the stones.

Later, from the rough stones I picked, I got another rare sapphire and an emerald.

Steve bought that rare sapphire for 500 million.

I kept the emerald for myself. Kael popped into my head, so I decided to make him a gift out of it

Steve looked at the emerald in my hand, confused. “Lira, what are you gonna do with this? You keeping for yourself?

“Aren’t girls usually not into this color? Kinda plain, right?”

I looked down at the emerald, smiling softly at him. “It’s a secret.”

Steve stared at me, totally confused, but he didn’t push it.

By the time I finished cutting all the rough stones I bought, it was noon-my stomach was growling a littl Steve checked his phone, then asked, “Lira, it’s noon. Why don’t we all grab lunch together? My treat.” Next to him, Yolanda stared at me like she wanted to tear me apart and eat me whole. Real subtle.

I glanced at her, then shook my head and smiled at Steve. “Nah, thanks. I got a friend here, so I’ll pass on eating with you guys.”

No way I was sitting at the same table as people I couldn’t stand.

And with Yolanda picking fights every two seconds? I was scared I’d lose it, switch to Victoria’s power, and shut her up the hard way.

Steve got it-didn’t push. He rounded up his group and left.

I wandered around a little more, but no rough stones caught my eye-nothing that surprised me. So I found a spot to sit and rest for a bit.

I closed my eyes, feeling all relaxed-until suddenly, I got this weird feeling. Someone was staring at me.
