It fell into my\u003cbr\u003e open palm with a solidness that worried me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Someone's got a secret\u003cbr\u003e admirer,\" my coworkers teased playfully, drawing towards me to admire the\u003cbr\u003e beautiful red roses that was mildly scented with a sweet perfume. The teasing\u003cbr\u003e stopped the moment they saw the necklace. Even to our untrained eyes, it looked\u003cbr\u003e expensive. The chain was made of tiny circular silver rings the glimmered in\u003cbr\u003e the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eHanging from the end was the\u003cbr\u003e diamond pendant that seemed to emit light rather than reflect it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere was just awed silence\u003cbr\u003e as I held the pendant up to the light. It shone with an unnatural brightness\u003cbr\u003e that made my heart tighten and my fingers tremble. It looked real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"That's…fake,\u003cbr\u003e right?\" someone said, voicing what everybody was thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It's got to be,\" I\u003cbr\u003e mumbled, letting the girls have a closer look at the necklace while I pulled\u003cbr\u003e out the contents of the envelope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere was a piece of paper in\u003cbr\u003e the envelope and instead of a card or a note, there was a diamond certificate\u003cbr\u003e telling me the carat weight (2.5 Ct.), color grade (D), clarity grade (VS1) and\u003cbr\u003e cut grade (Excellent). There was even a report number, laser inscription\u003cbr\u003e registry, and other various details that I didn't quite understand. I gulped,\u003cbr\u003e wondering where the mysterious gift had come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It's real,\" Tanya\u003cbr\u003e gasped, quickly handing the necklace back to me. It felt surreal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eI held the diamond between my\u003cbr\u003e forefinger and thumb. The slight pinch of the sharp edges of the shimmering gem\u003cbr\u003e assured me that I wasn't dreaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eMy first thought that someone\u003cbr\u003e had stolen my credit card details to purchase the necklace was quickly squashed\u003cbr\u003e by the knowledge that this was real diamond. Even my maxed out credit card\u003cbr\u003e couldn't possibly be enough to purchase something as extravagant as this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This has got to be a\u003cbr\u003e mistake,\" I said to the flower delivery man, who was still standing in the\u003cbr\u003e small cafe. He looked too well dressed to be a flower delivery man, what with\u003cbr\u003e his buttoned up tux and all. At first I thought it was an outfit, but the more\u003cbr\u003e I looked at him, the more I realize that he was waiting for a response of some\u003cbr\u003e sort from me. Should I be tipping him?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"If you don't want it,\u003cbr\u003e I'll take-\" Daphne's hand that reached forward to grab the chain of the\u003cbr\u003e necklace was promptly held by the muscled man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"There is no\u003cbr\u003e mistake,\" he said, his voice a stressed deep tone that sent shudders all\u003cbr\u003e the way down my spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe released Daphne's hand and\u003cbr\u003e sent her a glare that could've melted glaciers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Alright fine, it's\u003cbr\u003e hers. I was just kidding around,\" she faked a laugh and rubbed the ache\u003cbr\u003e from her wrist. I gave the stranger a thankful look. Everyone knew Daphne\u003cbr\u003e wasn't kidding around. She's been known to just take things she fancied and not\u003cbr\u003e giving them back. I put the necklace into the envelope carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"This is too much,\"\u003cbr\u003e I held the envelope to him. \"I can't accept this.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Mr. Hunter would like\u003cbr\u003e your company for dinner,\" he said, ignoring my outstretched hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eI lowered my hand\u003cbr\u003e reluctantly. \"Mr. Hunter?\" I murmured, the name not clicking in my\u003cbr\u003e mind. It sounded only vaguely familiar, like an acquaintance of an acquaintance\u003cbr\u003e instead of a name that I should know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Yes…”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PublishDrive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47151479226608,"sku":"9781370529780","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781370529780_p0.jpg?v=1763711454","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781370529780","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
