CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“So, is that what we're looking for?” Sally blinked.

Lina nodded in the affirmative. “Yup. But it looks like they don't have it here. Let's go check out the other stores.”

The trio left this shop and ventured over to others. With many such specialist shops lining the streets, that meant that they were not without options.

Even after trawling through one store after another, however, Lina was still unable to find a piece to her liking. As the supply of fire obsidian was not plentiful and was only mined in limited quantities annually, coming into it involved a lot of luck.

“We still have two more shops left to cover. If these don't pan out, I'll have to go check in with Bryan and my mentor,” Lina said as she massaged her temples.

Natalie nodded. “Let's head inside and have a look first then.”

“Yeah,” Lina replied.

She went first, with Sally trailing close behind.

Natalie was about to follow after them but paused when she sensed a pair of eyes upon her.

“What's wrong, Nat?” Sally asked over her shoulder when she noticed that Natalie had stopped.

Without answering, Natalie surveyed her surroundings in search of whoever was watching her.

Her eyes traced their way through the crowd. About ten meters or so from where she was, she spotted Jacqueline's smiling face at a storefront staring right back at her.

Natalie's eyes jerked open as she was not expecting Jacqueline to show up here.
