Chapter 201

---- Chapter 201 Gideon didn't give her a chance to protest. "We're buying it. Let's go." He pulled her to her feet and steered her out the door. Giselle's head was already spinning, so she let him drag her into the elevator , down to the lobby, and into the passenger seat of his Bentley. He clearly had plenty of experience buying diamonds for women. In less than 20 minutes, he navigated the city streets with ease and brought her to a high-end department store downtown that specialized in luxury goods.

At a Bulgari counter, the sales staff greeted him with exaggerated warmth, addressing him as "Mr. Grayson". Judging by their familiarity, he was no stranger here. After a quick exchange with the store manager , he asked to see the most expensive diamond ring they had in stock. Since there had been no advance reservation, the priciest available were several pieces from their line. The manager presented three rings with diamonds over five carats for him to choose from. "Here. Pick one yourself.

If nothing catches your eyes, we'll go somewhere else." Gideon draped an arm loosely over her shoulders, urging her to decide. ---- Giselle had never worn anything close to this level of extravagance. The most expensive necklace she'd ever owned had cost just over 200 thousand dollars, and she'd never bought a diamond ring as there'd never been an occasion for one. Now, with these million -dollar pieces glittering before her, she felt a little lightheaded. The clarity, color, and cut were all flawless, their brilliance almost blinding. Pretending she wasn't tempted would have been a lie.

Prodded by Gideon, she tried on a few. The oval-cut stone on her slender, pale hand was breathtaking. "Which one do you like?" he asked. "T don't know." To her, each was equally dazzling. She couldn't choose. "Tf you like them all, I'll buy them all." He meant it too. He was already telling the staff to box up every single one. "You're insane." She muttered the words and pointed to a ring priced just under five million dollars. "This one will do." Then she looked at him. "You pick one too.

I'm not the only one getting something today." Amused, Gideon asked the staff to bring out men's rings, preferably a set that matched hers. ---- While he was happily trying them on, Giselle nodded toward one of them. "Why not just go with the most expensive one? It suits you." He had no real taste in jewelry, never having worn any before, so he simply agreed. "Alright. That one." "You could still try a few others," she added casually , then stepped back as if something had accrued to her. "I'll just step out and take a call.

I'll be right back." "Sure." The moment she left the store, Giselle made up her mind about something.
