Chapter 249

In recent years, men's jewelry has seen a surge in popularity. Some guys are even more into the design aspect than women are. So, the idea of men wearing jewelry isn't exactly groundbreaking anymore.

What surprised Sylvia, though, was that Hilbert reached out to her. With his wealth and social standing, you'd expect him to go to someone like Bridget instead. The thought made Sylvia's heart race with a mix of excitement and dread.

Hilbert took a sip of his coffee and said, "The Carmen Group is throwing a celebration party this week. I've got my hands on something special and thought about designing a piece to wear for the occasion."

Eloise leaned forward, intrigued. "And Mr. Carmen's special find is...?"

a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. After unlocking it, he opened the case to reveal a stunning 25-carat Kashmir sapphire. At current auction rates, it was easily worth around five million dollars.

It was indeed something spectacular, but Sylvia felt a knot tighten in her stomach. She was just an intern, and if anything went wrong, she couldn't possibly handle the consequences.

Even Eloise seemed taken aback for a moment, though she quickly regained her composure. "Mr. Carmen, this sapphire is uncut and designing something with it won't be straightforward," she cautioned, hoping Hilbert might reconsider.
