Chapter 88

When Blake didn’t see the necklace, he frowned. “Why aren’t you wearing it?”

Evelyn had just pressed the elevator button when she recalled that the necklace had been a free gift. She replied calmly, “I lost it.”

Blake looked at her more closely. Seeing that she showed no obvious emotion, he said, “In that case, there’s no helping it. I’ll buy you another one.”

Evelyn paused. “There’s no need. I don’t want it.”

Blake narrowed his eyes. The only reason he had given her that diamond necklace was because he had let her down a few days ago. He had thought a simple gift would be enough to smooth things over.
