However, when Elaine thought of how the salesgirl had already set up the atmosphere, wouldn't she be unable to live up to the title as the 'top amongst the noblewomen' if she were to say that she could not afford it?
Just as Elaine was feeling uneasy, the salesgirl placed the treasure of the store in front of her.
Elaine looked down at the price tag and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, my God! Seven, eight, eight, eight... Seven, followed by six eights with no decimal points... This is f* eking 7.88 million dollars!"
The salesgirl in front of her took the necklace out, looked at Elaine, and then looked at the necklace before she shook her head and said, "Madam, I suddenly feel that this necklace is somewhat dull in front of you."
Elaine was about to cry.
'A necklace that is nearly eight million dollars also looks somewhat dull in front of an old lady like me?! Do you think that I'm as bright as the sun?!’
Hannah, who was behind her, was also shocked and blurted out, "This necklace is too expensive! Eight million dollars... You would have to win the lottery at least twice after deducting taxes!"
The salesgirl then said seriously at this time, "Actually, money is not a problem. I believe that with this lady's temperament and worth, she would definitely have more than enough money to buy such a necklace."
Elaine was already a little fidgety when the salesgirl said this.
The salesgirl was really good at setting the atmosphere. She made Elaine really happy with the atmosphere at first, but at this point, it was already very difficult for Elaine to back down.
At this time, the salesgirl changed the topic and said seriously. "Actually, I think that this kind of diamond necklace is all about being big, excessive, and shiny. It looks a little too vulgar after it’s matched together. It is very expensive, but there is no legacy to it anymore."
Once Elaine heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "Oh, you're so right! If someone wears such a big string of diamonds on the neck, it's equivalent to displaying the words 'I have money', and it's too tacky! Way too tacky!"
The salesgirl nodded and said very seriously, "In fact, when someone like you, who is the top amongst all noblewomen, chooses jewelry, what you should really care about is not how high its value is, but you should care about its temperament, style, and legacy!"
