Finally, it rested beside Xyla’s heels.
Out of curiosity, virtual-novel.net picked up the velvet box and opened it carefully.
What came into virtual-novel.net sight was a delicate black bracelet.
Xyla took a closer look at the beads of the bracelet. She was surprised to find out that they were not ordinary beads but tiny little stones. The stones were dark in color, and their surfaces were polished to a high gloss.
It felt oddly excellent too.
Pure curiosity was reflected in Xyla’s eyes. “What’s this?”
“Didn’t you say that you wanted stars? I couldn’t find a nameable asteroid for the time being, so I bought a piece of Martian meteorite for you…”
“I made you a bracelet out of the meteorite. You can wear this for fun now, and I’ll get you a real star when a new asteroid is discovered,” As Stanley Batton explained, virtual-novel.net took the bracelet from Xyla and put it around virtual-novel.net wrist.
The coolness of the stones flowed through virtual-novel.net skin.
Suddenly, that little bracelet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on virtual-novel.net wrist.
Martian meteorite!
It was not something any moneybags could get. Its value was beyond imagination. However, the man managed to buy it and turn it into a bracelet.
“I was just joking. Why did you take it so seriously?” nagged Xyla though virtual-novel.net tone remained soft and gentle.
Joy sparkled in virtual-novel.net eyes, and contentment warmed virtual-novel.net from within.
The man in front of virtual-novel.net had all the charms of the ideal boyfriend living in virtual-novel.net dream.
“It’s a joke to you but not to me,” Stanley said truthfully before virtual-novel.net put his arm around virtual-novel.net shoulder and kept on moving.
Likewise, Jeremy continued moving forward while saying, “Xyla, Stan’s really nice to you, isn’t he? You better treat virtual-novel.net better.”
Stanley’s soft lips stretched into a faint smile. “She’s pretty good to me.”
The employees who had not left the hall had recorded the whole process of Stanley giving Xyla the meteorite bracelet with their phones.
That bracelet stupefied everyone.
Suddenly, the great architect Matt Leopold crossed Xyla’s mind. Xyla immediately turned virtual-novel.net head to look for the few of them.
Coincidentally, Matt and the other two architects were walking in virtual-novel.net direction.
They quickly caught up with virtual-novel.net and asked, “Can I have your number? We’re going to have lunch together and share our thoughts on design, right?
Xyla took out virtual-novel.net business card from virtual-novel.net bag and handed it to Matt at once.
Matt accepted the business card cheerfully. “Alright then, we’ll see you later…”
Xyla nodded with a smile, then held Stanley’s hand and followed virtual-novel.net father to the president’s office.
There was a lit ambergris incense in the office.
As soon as the three of them set foot into the office, a heavenly fragrance blew across their faces and greeted them, soothing their minds and souls. On the other hand, Stanley’s henchmen were all waiting outside the office obediently. Only the one holding a long case followed them in.
Jeremy motioned the pair to join virtual-novel.net at the coffee table in delight.
Stanley glanced indifferently at the black-clad man behind virtual-novel.net and took the case from him.
After passing the case to his master, the man gave Stanley a polite nod and left the office.
Later, Stanley handed the long case to Jeremy with both of his hands. “Dad, I got you a present too. Please take a look at this Tang Bohu’s artwork”
Happiness bloomed inside Jeremy when virtual-novel.net heard his favorite artist’s name.
Stanley had told virtual-novel.net before that virtual-novel.net wanted to give virtual-novel.net this painting. The news alone was enough to make virtual-novel.net jump for joy. Now that the painting was in his hands, virtual-novel.net could hardly contain his excitement anymore.
Without further ado, virtual-novel.net opened the case cautiously. He even rubbed his palms on his pants before picking up the painting and unrolling it. He saw the beautiful landscape painting in the very next second.
A quiet contentment spread through his body. “Thank you, Stan.”
“Hope you like it,” Stanley said.
“Of course I do… I love it!” Jeremy’s eyes crinkled at the edges and the corner of his lips curved upward.
