When Sebastian noticed Natalie had stopped, he peered in the direction of her gaze. The ruby necklace in the window was work of art and eye-catching.

“Do you like it?” he asked, walking up to join her beside the window.

The soft, warm light fell on Natalie’s face, making her smile look even more beautiful than usual. Her eyes were sparkling with admiration. It was quite apparent that she was impressed. She said, “Don’t you think it’s very beautiful? This designer really is nothing short of a genius.”

However, Natalie was just appreciating the designer and this outstanding work. She didn’t want the jewelry as much as she appreciated its design. Besides, she couldn’t afford it anyway.

It was too luxurious for her. Only the exceptionally wealthy could buy it if they took a liking to it.

It occurred to Sebastian that Garrett often gave jewelry as gifts to women, and reasoned that women were probably quite attracted to sparkly, shiny things.

On that basis, he came to the conclusion that Natalie must want it. She didn’t admit it because she probably thought that it was way out of their affordability range. Sebastian kept his poker face on and began to devise a plan to buy the necklace for her without her suspecting him. Natalie didn’t have the foggiest idea about what was going through his mind. She took out her phone and hesitated in taking pictures of the necklace.

After all, most of the stores here didn’t allow others to take photos of their exclusive products.

Just then, a condescending voice was heard coming just inside the store.

“Miss Quinn, you have been standing there for a long time. Do you need me to ask for the manager’s permission for you to take photos?”.
