Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 267

Early the next morning, Izabella got on a coach heading to the county town. Once there, she hailed a taxi to the biggest shopping center in the county.

Since coming here, this was the first time Izabella visited the mall. She tried to hide her trembling heart due to excitement.

As Izabella looked around, she tried to memorize the route to the jewelry store.

Finally, after asking around, she found a jewelry store that dealt with buying and selling jewels. Izabella gave a quick glance at the store's decoration and then shifted her gaze to the jewelry displayed in the glass cabinet. The jewelry here was too ordinary, and Izabella couldn't decide how to bargain for a moment.

Fortunately, the salesperson in the store noticed her and came up to ask, "Ma'am, what kind of jewelry are you looking for?"

Izabella asked directly, "Is your boss here?"

Looking for the boss? The salesperson's smile suddenly became a bit stiff, but she tried to mask it anyway. She said, "Our boss is not here, but the store manager is."

"Could you please call the store manager over? Thank you.” Asked Izabella.

With her pretty face and gentle manner, the salesperson couldn't figure Izabella out, so she hurried to call the store manager, lest she miss any important information.

When the store manager got the call, she rushed to the store. When she saw Izabella, who had an extraordinary temperament, sitting inside, was frowning and drinking water.

When Izabella lowered her gaze, her facial features looked very soft and gentle, exuding an elegant and charming vibe. Raising her eyes, those sparkling eyes were like brushstrokes on a painting, gazing calmly and radiating a silent yet solemn beauty.

Even rarer, these two opposing auras blended perfectly on her.

The store manager had seen many rich people and knew that Izabella was probably one of them. She didn't seem to be here to buy jewelry; instead, she looked like she was here to discuss business, which the boss might need to address.

Although this was only a small county town, the store manager had seen her fair share of high rollers. Many wealthy businessmen nowadays like to return to simplicity and build villas in the suburbs .

"Miss, how do I address you?" the store manager asked as she approached.

Izabella put down the cup in her hand and stood up, saying, "Just call me Ms. Salotti."

"Hello, Ms. Salotti. This is my business card." Said the store manager.

Izabella took a look at the card and said, "Hello, ma'am."

"Ms. Salotti, are you here to pick out jewelry today?" Asked the store manager.

Izabella shook her head and slowly said, "No, I'm here to sell jewelry."

"Selling jewelry?" Asked the store manager.

"Yes, I saw your sign outside saying I can sell jewelry." Said Izabella.

The store manager's smile almost vanished, "Please show me the jewelry."

Obviously sensing the shift in her attitude, Izabella frowned and opened her bag, taking out a jewelry box from the compartment. She then opened it and said, "Ma'am, could you please take a look at this necklace and tell me how much it's worth in your store?"

The store manager initially took a casual glance. But when she saw the necklace in Izabella's hand, she was instantly stunned.

After all, she had been working in a jewelry store for more than a decade and had attended relevant training. At a glance, she knew this necklace was valuable. She could tell that the gems embedded on the surface were real.

The store manager's eyes became serious. This necklace might be even more upscale than her best-recommendation piece.

Jewelry had a strong allure for women, and the store manager's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she looked at the necklace.

"Are you sure you want to sell this necklace?" Asked the store manager.

"Yes." Answered Izabella.

"As for the asking price, I can't decide. I can only ask our boss to come over. I'll give him a call. Please wait a moment." Said the store manager.

"When will your boss arrive?" Izabella asked.

"He lives nearby and not far from here. But it depends on whether he has time. I'll know after I make the call." The store manager got up, pulled out her phone, and said, "Vivian, please pour Ms. Salotti another glass of water."

The store manager went to the back room to call the boss, as some things were inconvenient to say in front of Izabella.

She returned in less than three minutes, "Ms. Salotti, our boss will be here soon. Please wait for a moment."

"Okay, thank you." Said Izabella.

"You're welcome." Responded the store manager.

While they were waiting, the store manager took the initiative to strike up a conversation and get to know Izabella, as knowing both sides would facilitate negotiations.

"Ms. Salotti, would you mind disclosing what your asking price is?" Asked the store manager.

"It depends on the price you can offer." Said Izabella.

The store manager could tell from her words that Izabella needed money right now. As long as that was the case, it would be easy. She then sent a text message discreetly to her boss.

"Ms. Salotti, let me take you inside to sit. It's not very safe to discuss things outside." Suggested the store manager.
