Chapter 232 Impossible
After breakfast, Nicole took her son, drove the car, and dropped by to pick up Todd to visit the Gardner Residence.
It was the weekend, so there were fewer vehicles on the road. It was still morning when they arrived at the Gardner Residence.
As Nicole had talked to Anna beforehand, Nicole went in directly.
Anna and Wendy were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Nicole was carrying her son while Todd followed them in.
On this day, Todd was not wearing casual clothes—he was wearing a decent suit. However, he still looked plump as his belly was round.
Anna did not expect Nicole would bring someone over, so she looked up in surprise.
Nicole smiled as she explained, “Mrs. Gardner, he is Mr. Grant’s assistant from Triton Studio, Mr. Todd Freeman.”
Anna’s eyes lit up as she remembered what Nicole had said before. Then, she smiled. “Hello, Mr. Freeman. Please take a seat.”
Anna saw Hayden in Nicole’s arms as she was done with the pleasantries, and her face was filled with joy. Remembering she had a business to attend to, Anna asked Edith to take care of Hayden for a while.
When Hayden left, Anna looked at Todd.
Todd used to be in the presence of upperclassmen, so he naturally sat on the sofa and put the suitcase on the table.
“This is the jewelry that Miss Anderson rented from Triton Studio, and I’m here today to show it to you. However, you can only wear the jewelry on the day of the event and I cannot let it out of my sight. Please forgive me,” Todd respectfully said as he reached out and opened the safe.
In the safe lay the pink jewelry. The jewelry was luxurious and playful, and the enormous pink diamond looked beautiful.
The jewelry was made of pink diamond and suitable for a youngling like Wendy.
Upon seeing that, Anna was filled with joy. Although Nicole said she rented Triton Studio’s jewelry long ago, Anna thought Nicole had failed as there was no news for some time.
However, Nicole unexpectedly brought the jewelry to Anna today. The pink diamond was way better than the one rented by Queenie and much more suitable for Wendy.
Nicole raised her voice and said, “Mrs. Gardner, if Wendy likes my design, she can wear it with this jewelry. If she likes Director Schmidt’s design better, I wouldn’t mind either.”
Wendy hurriedly denied it. “That’s not it, Miss Nicole. I have always liked your design. However, Miss Joanna’s design is more suitable for the jewelry sent by Queenie.”
Anna nodded. “Nicole’s one is definitely better, regardless of the design or material. We chose Joanna’s design because we wanted to match it with Queenie’s jewelry rented from Triton Studio.”
Anna’s gaze fell on the jewelry brought by Todd, and she said with emotion, “It will look good if this jewelry is paired with the clothes you designed.”
At that point, Todd frowned. Raising his gaze, he asked, “Mrs. Gardner, did you say someone rented a piece of jewelry from Triton Studio? Is it from the current season?”
Anna’s expression darkened and she nodded with confusion. “Yes. It’s the one in green. I must say, though, it’s not as pretty as this one.”
Todd’s expression gradually turned stiff when he heard that. He frowned and said in a low voice, “But that’s impossible!”
This was the first time Nicole had seen Todd being so serious, and she thought something big had happened. “Mr. Freeman, what’s wrong?”
Todd said solemnly, “We only lent one from the current season’s jewelry to Miss Anderson. The rest of the jewelry is in the safe, so there’s no way another piece of jewelry would surface!” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
As Triton Studio’s customers were royalty, it was difficult for ordinary people to rent the jewelry. The studio didn’t bother to lend the jewelry to make money. This time, however, they agreed to lend the jewelry to Nicole only for the friendship between Triton and her.
