Nora: “?”

What was up with the meaningful looks in the eyes of these people in front of her?

Even Queenie, who was standing at the side, broke into a frown.

Wrapping paper with a bird print on it?

What was wrong with Justin’s subordinate? Was he cursing Nora to the fate of being cuckolded?

Regardless, Nora still took the gift from him. She was about to hand it to someone beside her when the Queen, who was all smiles, said, “Aren’t you going to open it and have a look, Ms. Smith? Mr. King must have put a lot of thought into picking out a gift for you.”

The Queen was hoping for some drama.

Nora glanced at her. “At the Schmidts, we prefer to open our gifts in private.”

The Queen glanced at King. “I don’t think Mr. King would mind, Ms. Smith. Why don’t you let me have a look?”

Now that King had a close female friend, he definitely wouldn’t put that much effort into his gift for her.

The Queen was waiting to laugh at Nora.

Upon hearing what she said, Nora glanced at Justin. Seeing that he wasn’t objecting, she also became a little curious. She opened the box, revealing a piece of jade inside.

A piece of white jade lay quietly in the box. She hadn’t even picked it up yet, but she felt as if she could already feel the warmth coming from it.

Nora’s hypersomnia was due to anemia, and her hands and feet were often cold. Jade was said to possess healing properties, so carrying some on herself was a great idea.

Moreover, the piece of jade also looked to be of extremely high quality…

At the side, Lawrence explained, “Boss spent millions on the raw gemstone, He even cut and polished it himself. He kept it on himself the entire time after that.”

So, after he bought the raw gemstone, he’d personally cut and polished it himself, and even brought it about with him everywhere…

Although it wasn’t really a well-known piece of jewelry, it was the thought that counted-and he’d certainly put a lot of effort into it.

Nora’s lips curled into a smile. She slipped the jade pendant onto a chain and put it around her neck. “I love it, thank you.”
