From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace (Laurinda) novel Chapter 345

“And look, miss, there’s a little secret. When you put the two rings together, they form a heart. It stands for true love.”

Laurinda stared at the heart shape. She was pretty sure she hadn’t planned for that when she designed the rings. But it matched her feelings perfectly. She could already picture Adolphus’s face when he opened the box. He was going to love it.

Just thinking about Adolphus getting the rings made her smile. That man was ridiculously easy to make happy.

“Could you wrap it up for me, please? Oh, and didn’t you recently get a new collection of bracelets? Do you have any left in the store?”

“We do, but they’re all sold out…” The salesperson looked genuinely apologetic. The new pieces had disappeared the moment they were released.

“Which one did you have in mind?”

Pansy, who was heading over to say hi to Laurinda, overheard the question. She realized that the new bracelet she’d put aside for Laurinda hadn’t been shipped yet. It was still in her office, so she could just give it to her now.

“The Magnolia one.”

Laurinda glanced at Carla. That bracelet really suited Carla’s vibe.

“Alright, give me a second. I’ve got one in my office.” Pansy disappeared, and a staff member led Laurinda and Carla to the VIP lounge for tea. The rings, already boxed, sat neatly next to Laurinda.

“Miss, your rings are ready,” the staffer said.

“Thank you.” Laurinda passed over her black card. The payment went through quickly, and the card was handed back.

She looked it over, spotted the designer’s autograph, and then turned to Carla, holding the bracelet out. “This is for you.”

Carla, who thought she’d seen it all, was genuinely stunned. She knew this was a million-dollar bracelet. She shook her head, backing away a little. “No, no, I can’t accept something like this…”

“It’s fine. As long as you like it, that’s all that matters.”

Laurinda stood up and gently took Carla’s wrist, expertly clasping the bracelet for her. She stepped back to admire her work. “Your skin is so fair. This Magnolia bracelet looks amazing on you.”

Carla kept staring at the bracelet on her wrist, unable to hide how much she loved it. She glanced up at Laurinda, a little shy, but she could tell Laurinda really wanted her to have it. So she accepted it with a smile.

“Thank you for the gift. Really.”
