Suddenly, a few women surrounded Gwendolyn and started chattering.
“Yes. It does look nice.”
“Look at the shade. It must be pretty expensive.”
Gwendolyn lowered her head. She was sure the number would blow them away.
Smiling slightly, she told them, “It’s just a cheap brand. It’s not worth much.”
She then quickly stuffed the necklace under her clothes, reminding herself not to reveal it ever again. If anyone with knowledge about jewelry saw that, she would definitely be robbed.
Actually, she did not want to wear the necklace. She wanted to leave it at home, but Patrick did not allow her to do so.
He even checked it daily to make sure she was wearing it.
What can I do? He’s my boss.
“So how much is it exactly?”
Francine and Christina were staring at her.
Francine then continued, “Just tell us. How much is it?”
Intrigued by the necklace, they crossed their arms, their gazes locked onto Gwendolyn’s neck.
Having been mingling with the upper-class society for years, they were extremely interested in accessories like such.
Naturally, they had pretty good taste in jewelry. Even though they couldn’t tell the necklace’s brand, they could see through the workmanship that it was a classic. It would become even more valuable as time went on.
Even if it weren’t worth much, it was not something embarrassing to wear. On the contrary, it would show their good taste.
Left with no choice, Gwendolyn lied, “Fifty.”
She assumed the two women wouldn’t be interested in something that cheap, so she blurted out the lowest price she could think of, hoping that they would stop bothering her.
To her surprise, the two ladies each transferred a hundred to her.
