    Chapter 812


    The staff could not help but chip in, “Not just in the city, miss. The whole!”


    A scowl appeared on Esme’s face upon hearing that. “What do you mean by that?! Are you mocking


    me?!”


    “No, we’re talking about zombies.” Sophia leaned on the disy table and flicked her hair alluringly as


    she sized Esme up in disdain.


    “Or perhaps… Miss Thomas, do you harbour ill intent all day long? If you don’t, you wouldn’t think


    others are badmouthing you when you overhear their conversations.”


    Sophia had a sharp tongue. Her words miffed Esme to the point of losing her words.


    “Okay,e on now, Sophia. Let’s not get too teasy.” Fia tapped on Sophia’s hand and took a good


    look at her ne via the mirror.


    It was indeed her design. And it was selling really well too! Although Conrad had gifted her a set of


    jewelry that were designed by her, they were not branded with Maxwell Corporation’s trademark. So it


    was quite a fun experience buying her own work that had thepany’s trademark in a store.


    “I’d like to purchase this. Thank you,” Fia said to the staff.


    “Certainly. Would you like me to wrap it in a box for you?” the staff asked politely.


    Fia caressed the ne before looking at the one that Sophia took down from her neck earlier.


    “Would you kindly wrap the one that I wore earlier?”


    “My pleasure, miss.” The staff then took the ne and began wrapping.


    “I was the one who saw it first.” Esme looked at Fia dejectedly. “You shouldn’t cut the queue like that,


    Fia.”


    The staff was speechless when she heard that. Did she not just say that she did not like that ne?


    So why would she want to fight over it with someone who actually liked it?


    “Oh, you like it?” Fia smiled and said, “But I like it too.”


    She then turned to the staff and asked, “Is there another one?”


    “My apologies, miss. These gship luxurious nes are a premium collection and thus they are


    limited in numbers. This ne is thest of our stock. And due to it being a limited, premium


    collection, we will not be restocking it,” the staff replied.


    “Pity.” Fia smiled at Esme, “Although you saw it first, you gave up on purchasing it earlier. And I


    happened toy my eyes on it after you decided that you didn’t want it. So I’m afraid it’s mine now.”


    “But I wanted to try it on just now too.” Esme raised her voice pitifully, trying to attract at crowd that


    would take her side.


    Sophia said scornfully, “There are surveince cameras in the premises, you know. We can rey what


    you said about it just now too, if you want. You said you don’t like the ne


    and even insulted its designer! Yet you changed your mind right after someone else picked it up!


    What’s the matter with you? How moody and indecisive! Are you on menopause or something?”


    Esme’s heart almost stopped when she learned about the surveince cameras. Fia was Conrad’s wife


    and this store was Maxwell Corporation’s property. It was quite likely that Fial could get her hands on


    the surveince footage via her husband’s connections.


    “Sigh. It’s fine. If you like it so much, you can have it, Fia,” Esme said, pretending to be generous.


    Sophia wanted to retaliate further but Fia pulled her hand lightly and stopped her.


    Fia said, “Then perhaps you could check the other collections avable in the store. Although Maxwell


    Corporation’s jewelry isn’t as luxurious as the brands from overseas, our merchandise is still very high


    in quality. If it were not for us not trying to prate the overseas market, our brand would be more


    popr than it is today.”


    The staff nodded as she packed the ne. “You’re absolutely correct about ourpany, miss. It’s


    not that we don’t intend to pursue the market abroad. Mr. Maxwell is a patriotic man and he did not


    want to damage our nation’s good name by presenting unsatisfactory products to the world. We will


    only begin to tackle the overseas markets when we’ve fully learned about our rivals. Then, every


    jewelry that’s under the Maxwell brand will turn into high-end, luxury products that collectors would fight


    tooth-and-nail over. When that happens, these jewelry will increase in price and value by the folds!”


    Esme felt her heart pounding as she heard that. “If that’s the case, I’d like to purchase a set of earrings,


    ne, and bracelet.”


    After handling Fia’s purchase, the staff picked several sets of jewelry for Esme. “Have a look, miss.”

    After having a few good looks at the jewelry presented to her, Esme could not help but nce at the


    ne on Fia’s neck. She regretted not buying it earlier.


    Conrad had released her designs with fierce, steamrolling marketing. When Maxwell Corporation


    touched the foreign market in the future, these designs would be worth a great deal! If she could hoard


    a lot of these now, she could sell them at a higher priceter. It was easy money!


    Fia noticed Esme’s nce and touched her ne.
