Chapter 194
“Dominick, thank you again for the coat you lent me last time,” Hayley suddenly interjected, her voice carrying a hint of urgency as it interrupted his contemplation.
With a smile on her face, she handed him the black bag she had been holding in her right hand all along. The last time she got drenched in the rain, he had lent her his coat, and she almost didn’t want to return it.
His expensive coat bore his scent, making her reluctant to part with it, cherishing it in secret.
She had long known that unrequited love was bitter, but suddenly, as her gaze fell upon the unique necklace in his hand, she couldn’t help but
der more.
“Mr. Wellington, you’ll be heading home soon, while I still have a layover in Paente. Considering all the hard work I’ve done for the co
company, could you reward me with a piece of jewelry?” she teased him playfully, as she usually did.
“What do you want?” Dominick asked indifferently in response. Anything from this counters jewelry selection, no matter her choice, he would simply swipe his card and pay for it without a second thought, regardless of the style or suitability of the jewelry.
Seeing his acquiescence, Hayley felt a wave of joy, which was immediately followed by a greater sense of disappointment
She had long understood his detachment. If he treated all women this way, she could console herself and say that she fared better than she could be by his side
However, Stephanie was an exception
The sales assistants in this luxury jewelry store, catering specifically to international travelers, all had a basic understanding of their language. Upon hearing their conversation, they eagerly approached Hayley to introduce her to the latest and most expensive jewelry pieces.
“I want the one he just bought, and it has to be exactly the same, Hayley said.
Suddenly. Dominick felt a sharp pain in his head. He tightened his grip on the exquisite bag unconsciously, his face showing a blend of fatigue and pain as he sat down on the soft sofa provided for customers in the right comer of the counter.
Hayley lowered her voice to talk to the sales assistant, and he, having no interest in listening to them converse, leaned back against the sofa with his head tilted up, silently sighing at the pain throbbing in his brain
“Miss. Im sorry, but there was only one of that ruby necklace. However, we have other designs by the same jeweler over here. Would you like to take a look!” the shop assistant kindly explained
“You really can’t find another one exactly like it” Hayley glanced back at Dominick sining in the resting area; ber tone tinged with determination
The saleswoman at the counter looked somewhat hesitant. I’m terribly sorry, even at our other branches, there isn’t another one. That design exists In only one piece
