Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 54

Since Finnian was insistent on buying her something, whether for fairness or just to keep her quiet, Amara decided to accept it.

But honestly, she didn’t really need anything at the moment. However, she did recall hearing Elysia and Keith mention a designer bag they had their eyes on. So, she found the pictures of those two bags and sent them to Will.

"I want these."

The bags were part of the same collection but in different colors, kind of like a couple's set.

Will was delighted and forwarded the pictures to Finnian, saying, "Mrs. Everly wants the Nuvéla couple's bags; I've already placed the order for her."

Couple's bags? Finnian was a bit taken aback when he saw the matching bags.

Why would Amara want a couple's set? She’d obviously keep the women's bag for herself, but who was the men's bag for? Could it be him?

For some reason, he's actually kinda excited about it.

The next day, somehow Liliana found out about the whole thing. She barged into Amara’s break room, challenging her the moment she stepped inside, "You asked Finn to buy you a bag, and a couple's set no less? Ha"

Her laugh was dripping with sarcasm. "You haven't lived with Finn for three years. You don't even know what he likes, Ms. Sullivan. Stop wasting your time."

Liliana tried to maintain her poised demeanor, but her eyes were filled with intense disdain. She no longer bothered to pretend in front of Amara.

Amara was reading when she heard this and looked up, unceremoniously snapping, "Ms. Porter, if you have a problem, you should get it fixed."

Liliana was momentarily stunned; it seemed like this was the first time Amara had ever insulted her.

Once the room was quiet again, Amara returned to her book. That was when Keith showed up. He had come at Amara’s request. She handed him the bag Will had delivered that morning, saying, "This is for you. I remember you liked it."

Keith was taken aback, unsure why Amara would give him something so expensive. Although he could easily afford it himself, it must have cost Amara a fortune.

Sensing his confusion, Amara recounted the events of the previous day. Upon learning that Finnian had bought the bag, Keith had an impulse to toss it out.

But then he quickly realized he couldn't do that. He’d need to flaunt this bag in front of Finnian someday. The thought flashed through his mind so quickly he almost didn’t catch it.

"Keith," Amara said, seeing he had the bag. "You’ve got a scene to shoot later, right? You should get going."

She’d called him over just to give him the bag, but after getting it, Keith didn’t seem in any rush to leave. He lingered, asking random questions and making small talk, inexplicably clingy.
