Since the opening ceremony of the fashion week, Leila had not been able to sleep or eat well. All of the theories she had in her mind almost drove her crazy.
She knew that the relationship between Zac and Essie was very special.
Zac had always been a very cold person. In fact, when he was in America, a girl showed her love for him by cutting her wrist in front of him. Blood spattered everywhere right away, but Zac simply walked away without even batting an eyelash because he thought blood as dirty.
But this time, he actually announced to everyone in the place that she was his woman, and even carried her away in his arms.
It was unusual, too unusual.
She wanted to figure it out at once.
So she asked Essie to go out with her.
Essie speculated that Leila must have misunderstood the relationship between her and Zac since he carried her away in his arms in the opening ceremony of the fashion week.
Essie had no idea how Zac explained it to her, but she felt like he had been in such a good mood over the past two days, so she guessed that they must not have quarreled with each other.
Sitting opposite to Leila, Essie quietly stirred the coffee in her cup and waited for Leila to say something first. Once she knew what was in Leila's mind, she would deal with it. She wanted to avoid creating any misunderstandings and making things worse at all costs.
"Miss Essie, I hope you can tell me the truth. Please don't play hide and seek. What on earth is your relationship with Zac?" Leila asked straightforwardly.
"Miss Leila, you two lived together for almost a week. You spent all day and night together, yet you still suspect him. I feel bad for his feelings for you." Essie shook her head and sighed.
Leila was speechless.
Essie actually thought that she was living with Zac?
'Oh my God! Not even in my wildest dreams!' she thought.
Still, it was a nice misunderstanding.
And Leila was willing to let her misunderstand everything.
"Yes, we were together for that long. I know he loves me very much, but I'm just worried that you will fall in love with him."
"Miss Leila, I think you know that I love someone else. Why would you even make that assumption?" Essie had a faint smile on her face that made her look natural and calm.
Indeed, while Hanson was not as exceptional as Zac, he was definitely outstanding, handsome, tall, and noble. Even though he was about to get married, she could still be his mistress. With her identity, she only deserved to be his mistress anyway.
Leila felt slightly relieved.
Then, Essie lifted her left hand which had been under the table, and felt the weight of the ring on her finger. She was very aware of its existence, as if it was a reminder that she was married.
The trick of the ice guy really was terrible!
Even though he had a girlfriend, he still didn't want to let her go, so he put a ring on her so other men would leave her alone.
Leila's eyes fell on her ring.
All of a sudden, Leila felt like she had been struck by thunder. Not caring about her image at all anymore, she reached out to grab Essie's hand and pulled it towards herself. "This is..."
Startled by Leila's sudden gesture, Essie withdrew her hand at once and said, "It's a crystal ring. I bought it from Taobao." Essie made sure to answer in an indifferent tone. Leila already seemed dangerously excited, and she hadn't even told her that it was ice guy who gave her the ring. If she told her it was Zac who gave her the ring, she would probably cut her into pieces right then and there. She couldn't say it for her life!
Leila's eyes widened. "Crystal? TaoBao? Are you kidding me?" Essie might be able to fool others easily, but not her. She was a professional jewelry designer and examiner. She could tell at a glance whether something was crystal or diamond.
"If they are not crystals, then do you think that they are diamonds? Miss Leila, I won't be able to afford such a thing even if I sold myself. I was surfing on the internet and saw it by chance, so I bought it," Essie said.
"Which store? Tell me. I'll go and buy one, too." Leila raised her voice unconsciously. She was definitely lying!
"I don't remember. I'll have to check the transaction records." Feeling a little embarrassed, Essie touched her neck. Even though she was Zac's girlfriend, Leila had no right to act aggressive towards her. She was still his wife in the eyes of the law, and Leila was nothing more than a mistress in that respect!
Now, Leila's pretty face was distorted with disbelief.
The purple diamond was the rarest, most expensive, and most precious diamond in the entire world. Only destiny could decide whether one would be able to see it in their lifetime or not. In fact, a lot of senior jewelry appraisal masters had never even seen a purple diamond in their entire lives.
It was said that Zac's family had a family heirloom.
It was a perfect heart-shaped purple diamond that weighed 8 carats, and there was nothing like it in the entire world.
It was as mysterious, aesthetic, and romantic as its name: Purple love.
She had never seen the heart-shaped purple diamond before, but she was one hundred percent sure that it was on Essie's finger now, because there was only one heart-shaped purple diamond in the whole world.
He actually gave this priceless treasure to a woman who was nothing more than a roommate?
Was he crazy? Or crazy? Or crazy?
Leila's expression became more and more ferocious.
She was immensely shocked.
It seemed to her like what happened at the fashion week actually meant something.
Terrified for her life, Essie paid the bill and ran away before Leila could kill her!
When she got home, she would have to tell ice guy that his girlfriend got so angry that she lost her mind, and he needed to take care of her.
