Chapter 782
Finally, it rested beside X Quest’s heels.
Out of curiosity, X picked up the velvet box and opened it carefully.
What came into her sight was a delicate ck bracelet.
X took a closer look at the beads of the bracelet. She was surprised to find out that they were not
ordinary beads but tiny little stones. The stones were dark in color, and their surfaces were polished
to a high gloss.
It felt oddly excellent too.
Pure curiosity was reflected in X’s eyes. “What’s this?”
“Didn’t you say that you wanted stars? I couldn’t find a nameable asteroid for the time being, so I
bought a piece of Martian meteorite for you.
“I made you a bracelet out of the meteorite. You can wear this for fun now, and I’ll get you a real star
when a new asteroid is discovered.” As Stanley Batton exined, he took the bracelet from X
and put it around her wrist.
The coolness of the stones flowed through her skin.
Suddenly, that little bracelet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on her wrist.
Martian meteorite. It was not something any moneybags could get. Its value was beyond
imagination.
However, the man managed to buy it and turn it into a bracelet.
“I was just joking. Why did you take it so seriously?” nagged X though her tone remained soft
and gentle. Joy sparkled in her eyes, and contentment warmed her from within.
The man in front of her had all the charms of the ideal boyfriend living in her dream.
“It’s a joke to you but not to me,” Stanley said truthfully before he put his arm around her shoulder
and kept on moving.
Likewise, Jeremy continued moving forward while saying, “X, Stan’s really nice to you, isn’t he?
You better treat him better.”
Stanley’s soft lips stretched into a faint smile. “She’s pretty good to me.”
The employees who had not left the hall had recorded the whole process of Stanley giving X the
meteorite bracelet with their phones.
That bracelet stupefied everyone.
Suddenly, the great architect Matt Leopold crossed X’s mind. X immediately turned her head
to look for the few of them.
Coincidentally, Matt and the other two architects were walking in her direction. They quickly caught
up with her and asked, “Can I have your number? We’re going to have lunch together and share our
thoughts on design, right?
X took out her business card from her bag and handed it to Matt at once.
Matt epted the business card cheerfully. “Alright then, we’ll see youter…”
X nodded with a smile, then held Stanley’s hand and followed her father to the president’s office.
There was a lit ambergris incense in the office.
As soon as the three of them set foot into the office, a heavenly fragrance blew across their faces
and greeted them, soothing their minds and souls.
On the other hand, Stanley’s henchmen were all waiting outside the office obediently. Only the one
holding a long case followed them in.
Jeremy motioned the pair to join him at the coffee table in delight.
Stanley nced indifferently at the ck-d man behind him and took the case from him.
After passing the case to his master, the man gave Stanley a polite nod and left the office.
Later, Stanley handed the long case to Jeremy with both of his hands. “Dad, I got you a present too.
Please take a look at this Tang Bohu’s artwork.”
Happiness bloomed inside Jeremy when he heard his favorite artist’s name.
Stanley had told him before that he wanted to give him this painting. The news alone was enough to
make him jump for joy. Now that the painting was in his hands, he could hardly contain his
excitement anymore.
Without further ado, he opened the case cautiously. He even rubbed his palms on his pants before
picking up the painting and unrolling it…
He saw the beautifulndscape painting in the very next second.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
A quiet contentment spread through his body. “Thank you, Stan.”
“Hope you like it,” Stanley said.
“Of course I do… I love it.” Jeremy’s eyes crinkled at the edges and the corner of his lips curved
upward.
