“The style is OK, but the texture will never be the same. Of course, I’ll try to find something as close as possible. But first, you have to tell me what you want this for. To coax Penny Brown?”
“… is not.” Neal Williams denied it.
Christina Sanchez didn’t say much and just waited for her son to continue.
The lips twitched, Neal Williams is finally the truth, only vague over, “I have a friend in a hurry, Mom, this matter to you, I will come back to pick up.”
“It’s no problem to take. But 200, 000, not a penny less.”
Neal Williams laughs, “You’re not soft on making money from your own people.”
“The handcrafting fee and branding fee are not counted yet, if you really count this thing 50W can’t be run.” Christina Sanchez handed the photo to the secretary and instructed her to put it away.
“Then the deadline is 5 days at most. after 5 days, I will deliver the cash to you with every cent.”
Christina Sanchez gave her son two thoughtful glances and said, “I’d like to see which girl is wearing this jade bracelet later. 200, 000 is not a lot of money, but you didn’t even blink.”
“It’s not like we’re earning it for outsiders anyway.” Neal Williams shrugged unconcernedly, his mind wandering to the way she had frowned in frustration that evening as she looked down at her bracelet.
…
Recently, the company has been working on a large project headed by Garret Miller.
Originally Garret Miller thought highly of Andrea Jones and, since she returned to him, he was interested in promoting her and involving her in all of his larger projects.
However, this time, Andrea Jones was transferred to be in charge of another CASE. She didn’t think much of it, led the meeting, discussed, and came home to continue working on the project with her computer.
I didn’t see Lewis Brown for a few days in a row, and finally waited until I was a bit more relaxed before I answered Lewis Brown’s invitation.
“Been busy lately?” Sitting in the car, Andrea Jones gave him a worried look. He had lost a little weight after a few days of absence.
“Work stuff.” Lewis Brown returned her.
She took a file bag that was resting between the two of them and flipped it over, seeing the contents inside and shoving the information back in.
“SORRY, I didn’t know it was a new program you had made.”
“It’s okay, I’m worried that the case is not doing as well as the people under me. You are at least a connoisseur in this area, see can also help me out.” The mention of work, his brow frowned even more, it seems to have encountered a troubling matter.
“Is it very competitive this time?”
Andrea Jones looked at the information again.
Lewis Brown breathed out and didn’t answer, just looked at her sideways, “I’d like to poach you from Garret Miller. What do you think?”
Without reason, Andrea Jones politely declined at once, “I’m just getting used to the environment here, and I don’t want to change places for now.”
Lewis Brown smiled a little, slightly lost, “Actually, you know, I don’t want to force you. It’s just that there are fewer and fewer people who can satisfy me now, and fewer and fewer programs that can be made to my satisfaction.”
No words were spoken, she just looked down at the file.
“It just so happens that I don’t have too much on my hands right now, so why don’t I try to make a brand new proposal. When the time comes, if you think it’s useful, we’ll talk about it again. How about that?”
Lewis Brown raised his lips, “That’s best. But don’t work too hard.”
The two men were talking when Lewis Brown’s cell phone suddenly rang. He grabbed it, looked at it, and looked slightly pale.
And subconsciously look at Andrea Jones, look like some of the heart.
In the end, he did not answer the phone, just put it on silent.
“What’s wrong?” Andrea Jones gave him a suspicious look.
He shook his head, “It’s okay. The road is not good right now, not convenient to listen to the phone. I’ll dial back later.”
Andrea Jones is not a suspicious man, but his grip on the steering wheel clearly reveals his unease.
Pursing her lips, she didn’t say anything, just strayed her eyes to the window.
Their wedding, could it go ahead? She became more and more unsure.
…
After a distracted dinner with Lewis Brown, I received a call from Sammy Jones, so I took the information from his car and said goodbye to him, and went home first.
“Sis, why are you calling me?”
Andrea Jones asked Sammy Jones as he changed his shoes.
“Here, your present, just arrived from the courier guy.” Sammy Jones was eating and tapped the box on the low table with the head of his chopsticks.
Charleen Davis asks, “Have you eaten yet? If you haven’t, hurry over here.”
“Mom, I’m done eating, you eat yours.” Andrea Jones raised her voice in reply, looked strangely at the brocade box on the table, and asked Sammy Jones, “Who sent that? What is it?”
“Didn’t dare to dismantle it. But it’s never a bargain. See these two words?” Sammy Jones stroked his finger twice over the stamped English letters, “ES, from the jewelry haute couture house.”
Andrea Jones’ jaw drops.
Although usually do not pay much attention to this, but this brand in the entertainment weekly she still occasionally have seen.
“Could it be that the courier company delivered the wrong one?” A suspicious glance at Sammy Jones.
“No way. The address and name are clearly written, and I just confirmed it all for you.” Sammy Jones handed her a slip of paper with an expectant look on his face, “Come on, open it up and take a look.”
“… hmm.” After reading the delivery slip, Andrea Jones opened the brocade box full of suspicion.
The jade bracelet Hao appeared in the eyes, she had a half-time confusion.
“Isn’t this the jade bracelet you broke last night?” Sammy Jones was also surprised.
“You and Lewis Brown said it broke?”
“… didn’t.” Andrea Jones shook her head, “It can’t be from him.”
There is no reason, everything is just intuition.
“It’s not him? Then who else could it be? It’s like a blessing in disguise!” Sammy Jones held it in his hand and looked at it in the light. Sammy Jones looked at it in his hand and then held it up to the light, “Andrea, it’s better than the one yesterday. 20+W, right?”
“What’s over $200, 000?” Charleen Davis put down her bowl and came over. She was shocked to see the jade bracelet in Sammy Jones’ hand, “Why did Lewis Brown give such an expensive gift?” Andrea, find a chance to return it quickly.
Andrea Jones ignored it and just hurriedly fished her phone out of her bag. Looking up the string of numbers, she hesitated, and instead of sending a message, she dialed the number directly.
The phone, which rang for a long time, but was never answered.
Maybe it’s a bit too abrupt to call directly like this.
Andrea Jones worked non-stop to compile and send the message.
“Did you send this gift here?”
He is the only one who knows about the jade bracelet, except Sammy Jones. And also previously mentioned the home address with him.
So, the possibilities are too high!
“Similar to the one you broke, similar or not?” He messaged back.
The answer, as is clear.
“I’d like to meet you.” Andrea Jones didn’t hesitate.
“Want to give it back to me?”
“Last time, I was already embarrassed by the dress. This time, I must not accept this jade bracelet again!” Her tone, very resolute.
“Keep it as an explanation for your fiancé.”
“It would upset me if you did that. Even if you don’t want to see me, please do give me an address that will allow me to return the things to you.”
“… I’m just trying to help you out. If you don’t want it, just put it on hold for you and maybe we’ll actually get a chance to meet later.”
Andrea Jones bit her lip, “Why do you want to help me like this?”
Retribution and other words, is pure nonsense. But it’s just a wallet, not even a drop of grace can be counted.
But …
He simply returned a few words, “Busy, talk to you later when you have a chance.”
…
“Eh, I say, you’ve been really funny lately, when did you learn to message with women too?” Garret Miller propped up his cue and glanced at him with a snicker.
Neal Williams put his phone away and grabbed his cue to hit the ball, not bothering to pay attention to him.
Hole-in-one.
Garret Miller raised an eyebrow, “Which woman is it? Well … used to think you had a thing for Andrea Jones, but now it doesn’t seem that way.”
Neal Williams scored another goal and didn’t even look at him.
“Eh, what do you say, what if I go after Andrea Jones?”
Garret Miller pokes Neal Williams with a pole.
“I’ll pass that on nicely to Junior.” Neal Williams remained taciturn and continued to aim for the pink ball.
The youngest of the Williams family, Ashley Williams, is the younger of the four.
As soon as he heard this, Garret Miller wilted. He has been waiting for that little girl to grow up, but unfortunately, now she is not yet open to love.
“To say or not to say, it has no effect on that little thing.” Garret Miller is quite sarcastic. Garret Miller is quite sarcastic, grabbed the pole leaning on the Slocum, “I’m just saying, Lewis Brown, that boy is also considered to grow up with us, this is close to getting married, I come to pry the corner, too shameless.”
Neal Williams’ outgoing shot suddenly went sideways and hit a super poor shot, not only did it miss, but it also created a ball for Garret Miller.
“Yoo-hoo, now it’s time for me to close the club.” Not noticing his darkening face, Garret Miller was in an upturned mood, excited to lift his club.
Neal Williams, however, was no longer in the mood and tossed his cue to the table, “No more.”
“Hey! You’re so graceless, cheating when you see you’re going to lose.” Garret Miller was resentful, seeing the stitches himself for a rare occasion.
“I’ve got a nice bottle of wine there, want to go for it?”
Tonight, the chest was congested, stuffy and needed an outlet.
It wasn’t until then that Garret Miller noticed him blushing. Suspiciously, she dropped her clubs and grabbed her top to follow, “Hey, wait for me.”
…
“Who’s this?” Sammy Jones probes Andrea Jones’ message, “Not Lewis Brown?”
“Well, no.” She shook her head. Dropping her eyes to the jade bracelet, she was a bit at a loss for words.
“Who gave you something so expensive for no reason?” Charleen Davis asked her daughter.
Sammy Jones’ eyes rolled up and he smiled, “The guy who’s pursuing you? That’s a nice guy, how thoughtful of you to send someone in the snow!”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” Charleen Davis gave a gesture of rebuke, and then looked at Andrea Jones with a deeper meaning, with a reminder, “You’re married, you must not lose your sense of propriety.”
“Got it.” Sammy Jones spat out his tongue at the moment, smiled and passed a look with Andrea Jones.
Andrea Jones, of course, knew what her mother meant. It is thought that she misunderstood and thought it was Neal Williams.
“Mom, don’t think too much about it, it’s just a friend of mine.” She explained.
“It’s very generous of a friend to give you such an expensive gift. When will you bring it to me to meet?” Sammy Jones joked.
“Stop messing with me.” She had a headache and carefully put the jade bracelet away, seeing that her mother still had disapproval on her face, she pursed her lips placatingly, “Don’t worry, I won’t accept the gift, tomorrow … I’ll find a way to return it.”
“Well, it better be.” Charleen Davis nodded and gave Sammy Jones a look, “Come eat first, the food’s getting cold.”
“As ordered!” Sammy Jones responded mischievously. Watching his mother turn back around, he looked down again and whispered to Andrea Jones with a smile, “Mom is too sensitive.”
Andrea Jones laughs bitterly.
…
The following day, weekend.
ES studio, Andrea Jones with a jade bracelet over to ask, the staff invariably shake their heads, “Sorry, Miss Jones. we are with the customer signed a confidential information agreement, any customer information, we are not allowed to disclose here.”
“Isn’t it okay to make an accommodation?”
