When Arya saw that Xavier was there, she was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses. She quickly lowered her head and handed the jewelry display book to Harriet. "I can fetch the products you like."
"Bring to me the necklace that I had seen yesterday. I'll try it on." As she spoke, she came closer to Xavier's arms and squinted at Arya with a provocative smile.
They were both daughters of the Harrison Family. But their fates were completely different. Arya was doomed to live a miserable life. She was doomed to serve others though she didn't die in prison.
And she would become Mrs. Jones and marry into the most powerful family in W City.
"Okay." Arya glanced at Xavier's face.
He was expressionless as if he didn't know her.
Xavier was surprised at first. But afterward, he showed no emotions on his face.
Arya was not surprised that Xavier was expressionless.
After all, she was not a decent woman, and she should feel ashamed in front of his real girlfriend.
She didn't want to expose their relationship either. She just wanted to get the other half of the shares when the time came. When she had enough chips in her hands, she would expose the real Harrison Family to the public.
The only thing she could do now was to endure.
She fetched the necklace and patiently explained the material, workmanship, and appreciation space.
Harriet was too impatient to listen to her that she interrupted her.
"I want to try it on. Help me put it on."
In front of Xavier, although she was not arrogant, she ordered Arya to serve her.
Just as Arya was about to take the necklace, Harriet stopped in time. "Don't touch it in case you stain it. Can't you wear gloves? Your hands are so ugly."
She applied the scald medicine to her hand. If she wore gloves, the medicine would be rubbed off and the wound would get more serious.
The scalded skin was already very sensitive. So, it might get infected.
Arya's hand froze in midair. She slowly curled up her fingers and withdrew her hands. Then she went to get the gloves on the table. Her fingers were about to touch the gloves.
Just then, Xavier threw the lighter on the table. He leaned against the sofa, and the smoke came out of his thin lips.
He slowly raised his eyes and gazed at the back of Arya's hand for a few seconds. He flicked the ash in the ashtray to hide his unnatural expression.
Pointing to a necklace on the display sheet, he said, "Bring this over."
"Yes." Arya bowed her head to get the necklace.
She took it back and put it on the table.
"I think this one suits you better." Xavier took out the necklace and put it on Harriet's neck.
Harriet was overjoyed while touching the pigeon egg-sized diamond.
This one was much more expensive than that one.
She showed it to Xavier. "Do I look good?"
Xavier nodded expressionlessly.
Harriet threw herself into Xavier's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I like it very much."
Xavier quietly withdrew and scratched her nose. "Do you like me or the necklace?"
Harriet smiled shyly. "Of course I like you more."
"Do you want me to wrap it up?" Arya wanted them to go as soon as possible and interrupted their flirtation.
Harriet rolled at Arya secretly. But she couldn't help but be happy.
'Perhaps Xavier loves me but in a different way.'
'Otherwise, how can he be so generous and even helps me put it on?'
She was happy.
Xavier glanced at Arya and handed her a card. "No password."
Arya nodded in response. "Sir, please wait a minute."
She took the card and left. She paid the bill and returned it to Xavier.
Xavier looked at her calm face and felt depressed. He didn't understand why he felt like this.
'Isn't it a good thing that she is obedient?'
'What am I unhappy about?'
When he put the card in his wallet, he threw a hundred dollars cash on the table and sneered. "Good service. This is your tip."
Harriet chuckled.
Arya stood still.
Xavier curled his lips. "You want more?"
Arya had no choice but to bend down and pick up the cash. In order to hide her grievance, she smiled and said, "Thank you."
The more she did this, the more unhappy Xavier felt. When he left the store, he looked grim.
After sending them out, Arya returned to the store.
