Behind the curtain, two sales assistants talked as if no one else was present.
"It's my first time seeing such a huge antique diamond, bought from Christie's... When it was sent over, they said they wanted to customize a necklace, and even named it, calling it 'The One'..."
The One, my only one.
"Ah... How sweet is that? It's either for a wife or a lover... And then what happened?"
"Nothing else," the young sales assistant said with slight regret. "They later said they didn't want to make it anymore, paid the penalty fee, and took the diamond back."
"Why was that?"
"How would I know? Rich people are capricious. Who knows what they were thinking? The things we can't afford in a lifetime might just be like glass beads to them."
Later, more customers came, and the two sales assistants came out to greet them.
Elise Don didn't take their conversation to heart because her necklace was also ready.
