The saleswoman before him exchanged a glance with the plump saleswoman who had sneered upon Fane. They both took sharp intakes of breath.
"Sir, are-are you sure that you said 20 billion? Did I hear wrongly?"
The saleswoman gulped. She suspected that she was hallucinating.
"You didn’t hear wrong. Your boss is a businessman. I don’t care about how big your jewelry business is, but businessmen are out to make money. I know that you won’t be able to make a decision as big as this. So why don't you call your superior and ask about it?"
Fane said after thinking about it.
"All right. I'll talk to our manager!”
The saleswoman rushed into the office and called the manager out.
Yet the manager was not able to call the shots either. He smiled at Fane. “Sir, we don’t display the Heart of the Abyss outside. Instead, we keep it inside for safeguarding. I can't make the final decision, but you're in luck. Our district manager who oversees for the Southwest district, so happens to be here. Please follow me, sir. I'll take you to see him."
"All right!”
Fane nodded his head.
He was quickly led into a tunnel by the manager. They wound their way in for a good few meters before the manager opened a heavy steel door. They entered the room.
A beauty in her thirties was lying on the couch. It was evident she was tired, and she was closing her eyes and resting.
