Chapter 133 Reunion with Old Friends

The sales representative immediately smiled upon hearing the compliment. Just as she was about to respond, Vanessa, who was standing beside her, also turned to look and spoke first, saying, “But why do I feel like this piece isn’t that great? It seems like Maggie’s taste really isn’t quite the same as mine.”

The sales representative’s expression froze momentarily, unsure of how to respond.

Maggie chuckled lightly and asked, “What appears to be the matter?”

Vanessa scrutinised the necklace for a moment before saying. In jewelry design, there’s usually a principle of hierarchy, where one main gemstone is emphasized. However, this necklace has four equally–sized rubies cascading down, which is an uncommon arrangement. It’s somewhat… unorthodox.”

Seeing her confident demeanour, Maggie couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“I’ll take this one,” Maggie said straightforwardly, intending to buy it as a gift for Mia.

After the last time Nathael emptied her wallet, she managed to secure payment for two design drafts from clients. Otherwise, she might have been left feeling powerless despite her efforts.

“Why don’t you listen to advice? Although the colour of the rubies in this necklace is good, the design is too unconventional. It’s probably only suitable for deep V–neck dresses and not very practical. The chances of wearing it after buying it would also be quite low.”

Vanessa spoke up again, eager to assert her superiority in every aspect.

Maggie chuckled disdainfully, her eyes carrying a mixture of charm and aloofness. She looked at Vanessa and spoke bluntly, “Ms. Brown, do you consider yourself buying everyday items? You’re emphasising practicality as if you’re buying groceries. It’s perfectly normal to match jewellery with outfits. Are you planning to wear the same necklace for a lifetime?”

Vanessa

a was taken aback for a moment, realising that her previous words had exposed her vulnerability.

She clenched her fists tightly, seething with frustration inwardly.

She knew that what Maggie said was true. People without money couldn’t afford these things, and those with money didn’t need to consider whether they were practical or not.

They wouldn’t consider things like which style could match more outfits, which one was easier to maintain and preserve, and they certainly wouldn’t think about which piece of jewellery was more likely to appreciate in value.

In essence, the circle they belonged to bought designs for the mood they evoked.

It was a feeling she would never understand, no matter how hard she tried.
