Florence opened it and found it was a bracelet with a heart-shaped pendant, inlaid with sapphires.
Florence couldn't help but sigh in awe, "It's so beautiful, and it looks so expensive."
"It's not worth anything, just a few hundreds. Plus, the diamonds are plastic." Alexander was talking nonsense in a serious way.
Although Florence was respected as a noble miss of a wealthy family, she rarely reached luxury goods. It was already a great fortune for her to graduate smoothly without starving herself and have less trouble from Colleen and her mother.
Not to mention a bracelet that was worth eight million and was called the Heart of the Goddess. How could Florence recognize such a priceless bracelet? Even if she could tell its great values, she dared not to believe it.
Alexander was just an online car-hailing driver and couldn't take out several million.
When she heard that it was only worth a few hundred, Florence was a little relieved. She was really afraid it was too expensive.
What was important was not how expensive the gift was, but the love and care in it.
"It looks so real. I thought it was an authentic gemstone." Florence truly loved it, "It's beautiful. I like it very much, but I didn't prepare a gift for you yet."
Alexander leaned over slightly and said in her ear with a mellow voice, "I've already received your gift."
When did she give him any gifts?
How come she didn't know that?
"You are the best gift to me."
Florence walked into the company as Alexander's last words were still echoing in her ears and her cheeks were burning hot slightly.
Florence found that Alexander was too good at flirting.
One sentence or one move he unintentionally said or did was enough to make her heartbeat become faster.
"Florence, Florence, what are you thinking about? I was calling your name many times, but you didn't respond." The team leader Evelyn Carson came over with a stack of materials in her hands, "Translate these before the end of the day. Those superiors are anxious to get these materials translated."
Florence returned to her senses, took the materials, and casually flipped through a few pages, "Okay, I'll sort it out before the end of the day."
Evelyn stared at Florence's face, "Florence, why is your face so red?"
"Huh?" Florence touched her face, which was a little hot, and quickly said, "I ran up here because I thought I was late."
Evelyn suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Did you hear that Mr. Connor had already made our boss' daughter get pregnant? And he will soon become the boss' son-in-law. In that case, his career is taking off 20 years earlier than it should be."
Actually, if he really became the son-in-law of the big boss, how could it only be 20 years?
As she was saying, a woman with brown and wavy hair walked in with her sexy body figure and posture. She went straight toward Emmett Connor's office.
Florence took a glance. That woman was exactly the big boss' daughter, Giselle Sawyer.
Soon, the blinds of the manager's office closed and the door was shut.
Evelyn tilted her mouth, wearing disdain on her face, "These days, even men are starting to live off women."
Florence laughed and did not comment.
It was a very busy day. After Florence's task was finished, it was time to leave work. Her colleagues also packed up and prepared to leave work one after another.
Florence was also packing her things when Giselle suddenly came, "I dropped my bracelet. No one is allowed to leave until the bracelet is found."
As soon as she finished her words, a bracelet fell out of Florence's bag.
Everyone stared at Florence with various looks on their faces.
That bracelet was the love token given by Alexander.
Giselle's voice was sharp, "This is my bracelet, you thief. Emmett, call the police immediately and send this woman to the police station."
Instantly, people in the company were gossiping around.
Florence did not get along well with others in her normal days. Plus, she was very pretty and was hailed as Cold Goddess by the male colleagues in the company, which made many young girls jealous.
Now that the Cold Goddess became a thief, many people were naturally gloating.
Florence looked calm, "Ms. Sawyer, you misunderstood. This is my bracelet."
"Your bracelet?" Giselle said disdainfully, "That is a bracelet worth millions, how can you afford it? Now that I caught you on the spot with the bracelet you have stolen, how dare you still quibble here?"
A bracelet worth millions?
But Alexander told her it was only worth a few hundred.
Florence was now more confident that Giselle made a mistake.
Facing the whispers of colleagues, Florence looked very calm and confident as she did nothing wrong. She patiently explained, "Ms. Sawyer, this is really my bracelet, and it's not worth several million. If you do not believe me, you can look at it carefully."
"This is my bracelet." Giselle insisted, "This bracelet is called the Heart of the Goddess, designed by the famous French designer Feder. It was a birthday gift from Emmett a few days ago. There bracelet is exclusive in the world. Just now, you were in the bathroom with me. So you must have stolen it at that time."
Half an hour ago, Florence did go to the bathroom and also ran into Giselle.
Giselle's words were so convincing that the colleagues talked even fiercely. They all looked at Florence with contempt.
"I really did not expect that though she looks quite nice, she actually has dirty hands."
"Yes. No such thing has ever happened in our company. She offended the boss' daughter. I will see how she can still stay in the company."
"Those men are all after her, and hail her as the Cold Goddess. But in fact, she is a thief."
"Now that we know her true color, let's see if those men will still chase after her or compliment her."
"Two days ago, I also lost my lipstick. I am wondering who stole it."
The words were highly suggestive.
Watching Florence being spat on, Giselle smiled smugly, "Emmett, call the police. Send her to the police station. Besides, a thief is not qualified to work in my company. Florence, you are fired."
Florence didn't panic. She didn't steal anything, so why should she be scared?
Just as Giselle was about to leave with the bracelet, Florence suddenly grabbed her wrist, which was a move that shocked everyone.
What was Florence trying to do?
Was she crazy enough to fight against bare hands?
Giselle was also surprised. Staring coldly at Florence's hand, she sneered, "What? Want to plead for mercy? It's too late...".
Before Giselle finished her sentence, Florence grabbed the bracelet back, "This is the bracelet my boyfriend gave me, no one can take it away. Just call the police, let the police return my innocence."
This was gifted by Alexander, and this was also his first gift for her. How could she just see Giselle taking it away without doing anything?
Giselle was also a little stunned, "I caught you on the spot with the thing you have stolen. But you are still arguing so stubbornly. Well, I suppose you will never admit until you are put into the prison."
Evelyn tried to defend Florence, "Florence is not someone who will steal things, let alone a bracelet worth millions. That will be a life imprisonment. Ms. Sawyer, maybe we should ask the police to investigate clearly in case we wrongly accuse her."
Hearing someone stand out and speak for her, Florence could feel a hint of warmth flowing in her heart.
"Giselle, what's going on in your company, so lively?" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing this familiar voice, Florence frowned.
The person who came was none other than Colleen.
There was also a woman with Colleen, whom Florence had not met before.
Giselle gave Florence a fierce glare and said, "This woman stole my bracelet. I caught her on the spot and had the bracelet she stole, but she is still arguing shamelessly."
Florence had never appeared in public with the identity of the Scott family's daughter. Besides, not many people knew that Colleen was Florence's half-Sis who shared the same father with Florence.
Colleen looked at Florence, and then at the bracelet in Florence's hand and said, "Isn't this the Heart of the Goddess? It's worth eight million and was bought by someone a few days ago. I was wondering who it was, but I didn't think it was you, Giselle."
Giselle said angrily, "This Heart of the Goddess is a gift from Emmett. But this woman insisted that it was hers."
Florence frowned, "This is not Ms. Sawyer's bracelet. It is just a gift from my boyfriend."
"Your poor boyfriend?" Colleen found her words ridiculous, "Can he afford it?"
Colleen still believed Alexander was a poor man. Last night, she had asked someone to inquire about it. The real one who reserved the entire venue was the young master of the James Film and Television Group.
Giselle asked, "Coley, you know him?"
"I've met him before, but not familiar with him." Colleen said, "By the way, it just so happens that the designer of the Heart of the Goddess, Feder's assistant Heidi, is with me. Just let her come to verify the authenticity of this bracelet. There is only one Heart of the Goddess in the world. So just test the authenticity of it, and then we will know who does it belong to."
If the bracelet was verified to be fake, she could have one more piece of evidence to prove that Florence was dating a poor boy, which was enough for Colleen to laugh at for her entire life.
