"Alright!"
Jenna stepped up and took the black gift box. As she opened it, inside was a beautifully crafted brooch shaped like an orchid. The stem was sharp and slender, curving into a lovely arc, with the pistil adorned with several tiny diamonds that sparkled like glass—clearly high quality.
Jenna frowned, puzzled. "This brooch is pretty, but it seems a bit plain. Why would Odie give you this? And the pin is so sharp, it could easily hurt someone."
"Let me see."
Sophie extended her hand, and Jenna placed the brooch in her palm. Sophie examined it closely, noticing the well-cut diamonds that looked stunning from every angle.
Such craftsmanship required a truly skilled artisan. The orchid shape was elegant, noble, and carried a hint of elusive mystery.
Sophie said, "Odie doesn't have this kind of taste. It can't be from him."
"Really? Then who sent it?"
Jenna leaned in, curious, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't see anything special about the brooch beyond its beauty.
"Hold onto it for me. I actually quite like it."
Sophie handed the brooch back, and Jenna nodded. "Alright."
Meanwhile, in the car, James glanced down at the ring in his hand, its diamond now missing, but a slight smile crept across his face.
Maybe... this was for the best.
The waiter, having just served James, was happily counting his tips when he saw a man stepping out of a sports car.
