Honestly, I just have similar taste to Miss Harper. When she finds something lovely, I’m drawn to it, too. I was just complimenting her style. She really has an eye for beautiful things!”

Shaking her head, Ellie grumbled, “What a weird day. Some people only want what you want and then walk away without buying. Are they trying to cause trouble on purpose?”

With a touch of sarcasm, Ellie unclasped the necklace, handed it to the staff, and added, “If she’s so taken with it, please make sure to wrap it up—she’ll be taking it.”
