The tools were not like everyday groceries that everyone needed. So, my fr 

also buying them for Zack. 

my first thought was that she was 

Chris had confidently assured me just a few days ago that he would make Jewel leave the company and never involve her again. Yet, here she was, even planning to attend Zack’s birthday. 

It was wise of me not to believe his words. 

Jewel was examining the set the owner had brought over with a knowledgeable air. She hadn’t noticed me, and I had no desire to interact with her, so I pretended not to see her and turned back to my own 

selection. 

“Boss, are you sure this is the best? I need to give it to someone very important, so don’t make me look bad,” Jewel said to the owner. 

“Ms. Massey, “the best‘ is subjective. There’s always something better, right? But I guarantee this will be presentable and won’t make you lose face,” the owner explained skillfully. 

“True, but I want to make sure it’s the best,” Jewel emphasized. She clearly cared a lot about the recipient. 

“Only 1 sell the best brushes in Hilcord. So, this set is definitely top–notch,” the owner assured her with a smile. “The recipient will know you put a lot of thought into it.” 

“That’s good,” Jewel paused. “I’m giving it to my future father–in–law.”

“Help yourself. Pick whatever you like,” the owner replied casually. 

Eager to inspect it, I opened the cabinet and took out the set. As I was about to examine it closely, Jewel appeared beside me. 

“Are you also giving it to Zack? Jewel asked. 

Her first words indicated that her attention was on me, but I didn’t look at her. I continued to scrutinize the set in my hands. 

This set wasn’t the newest design, but the material and feel were excellent. 

Having spent ten years in the Gildon estate, especially when I first joined and Zack had me accompany him in calligraphy, I had learned a fair bit about brushes. 

“Yes,” I replied indifferently to Jewel. 

But the next second, she said, “I’ve already reserved the best set for Zack, so… you should pick something else. It wouldn’t look good if we both gave the same gift and…” 

She paused for a few seconds, “Besides, I’m giving the best, and if yours isn’t as good, Zack might think you didn’t put enough thought into it.” 

Hah!
