Chapter 245
For a moment, Kimberly thought that her eyes were deceiving her.
The pink earrings that Maddox bought were on Sylvia''s ears.
"Miss, what would you like to have?" She heard the waiter''s voice and finally came back to her
senses. She awkwardly pursed her lips and replied, "Just give me a cup of coffee."
"Okay." After the waiter left, Sylvia looked at Kimberly with a sweet smile and held her hand
intimately, "Thank you, you are the best. You obviously don''t like desserts, but you are always
willing to apany me to these kinds of ces. We are best friends for life."
Kimberly couldn''t stop staring at Sylvia''s ears.
The earrings were pink and cute as they shone under the light. Kimberly actually fancied the
earrings a lot, but in the end...
She couldn''t help asking, "Your earrings..."
Sylvia came to her senses when she heard that. She reached out to touch the earrings and the
corners of her mouth curled upwards, "Aren''t they pretty?"
Kimberly didn''t know how to reply. She could only nod her head.
She then forced a smile, and she was the only person who knew the bitterness of the smile.
Kimberly watched as Sylvia continued ying with her earrings after receiving thepliment, "I
think so too."
Kimberly''s heart was extremely bitter. She sped her hands together tightly underneath the table,
digging her nails into her flesh. Then she loosened her grip, looked at the earrings and asked, "Did
you... buy them on your own?"
Sylvia was stunned for a moment, then she shook her head, "Of course not, someone gave them to
me!"
Sylvia said it and blushed furiously.
Kimberly certainly knew what she meant. It meant that Sylvia was in a rtionship.
Kimberly thought to herself that Maddox couldn''t have given Sylvia the earrings, right? What''s more,
Sylvia was not that kind of person, was she? She knew that they were married. She wouldn''t have
been so shameless and epted Maddox''s gift, would she?
Kimberly finally breathed a sigh of relief as she reasoned with herself. Then, she finally loosened
the grip on her hand.
"Congrattions." Kimberly wished her sincerely. It must have been a coincidence, she told herself.
Sylvia''s expression froze when Kimberly congratted her. She blinked her eyes and suddenly
lifted her head towards Kimberly.
Kimberly felt a little strange under Sylvia''s watchful gaze. She couldn''t help asking, "What''s wrong?"
Sylvia eximed and shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Right on cue, the waiter brought
over her dessert. She picked up the spoon and scooped a generous serving into her mouth. "Oh
my, this is delicious!"
At the same time, Kimberly''s coffee arrived. She took a sip. It tasted as bitter as her heart felt.
Although she tried to reason with herself, she was still very worried. Those earrings...was it all really
just a coincidence?
As they parted ways, Sylvia suddenly grabbed Kimberly''s hand and said in a low voice, "There is
something I want to tell you, but... I don''t know how to start."
When Kimberly heard that, she felt her eyebrows twitch, and her voice began to tremble.
"What... what''s up?"
Sylvia stared at her for a while, her expression not as gentle as before. Now, she looked sad. She
looked like she had done something wrong. Kimberly''s heart skipped a beat.
"Forget it, I''d better not say it." Sylvia sighed and lowered her stare. She decided that it was best
she kept some secrets to herself.
Kimberly replied, "Just tell me. There is nothing that we cannot tell each other."
Sylvia shook her head, "It''s not the right time. I''ll tell you when the timees. Whatever the case
is, you must remember that we are best friends. You must... believe me!"
Sylvia held Kimberly''s arm tightly and looked at her seriously.
Kimberly had already made peace with herself, but when she saw Sylvia''s hesitation, it made her
nervous again. She bit her lip and looked at Sylvia, slightly worried, "Sylvia, we are best friends. Of
course I believe you, but... when will the right timee? What are you actually hiding from me?"
"Nothing. Don''t think too much about it. I will tell you next time. Anyway, you must believe me. We
will always be best friends."
In the end, Sylvia still chose to not tell her the secret. Kimberly was disappointed, as she slowly
made her way back home.
Halfway on the way back, Kimberly suddenly thought of the jewelry store. She quickly asked the
driver, "Sir, can you please turn around?"
After that, Kimberly told the driver another destination.
After getting down from the car, Kimberly went straight into the jewelry store where she saw the pink
earrings.
As soon as Kimberly walked in, the sales assistant who assisted her thest time was there. The
sales assistant recognized her and immediately smiled at her.
"Hello."

Kimberly was still slightly embarrassed with what happened the other day, but smiled at her
anyways.
The sales assistant spoke first, "Hello Miss, are you here to see the pink earrings fromst time?"
Kimberly didn''t expect her to remember about it. She nodded and said, "Yes."
"Miss, do you really want to buy it?" Kimberly shook her head and said, "I just wanted to ask
something. Those earrings..."
"Oh, those earrings? That gentleman who was with you came back the next day to get them. He
must have bought them for you. You are very lucky. Your friend also came by, but I didn''t expect you
toe..."
A smile tugged at her lips. She felt a little awkward.
"Actually, I just wanted to know... is there another pair?" She was very curious to know whether the
earrings were one of a kind, or was there another pair. She really hoped that it was just a
coincidence.
"The same earrings?" The sales assistant was stunned at first, but after a while, she realized what
she meant. "Miss, please rest assured. The earrings are limited edition, and there is only one pair
on the market for the time being."
Only one pair on the market for the time being?
"For the time being?" She asked.
"Yes. There is only one of each item in that range. Once it is sold, only then will we design a new
pair."
Kimberly finally understood when she heard the exnation and asked, "If I wanted the same pair
of earrings, how long would it take?"
The sales assistant thought for a moment and gave her an answer.
"From the day you order until the day you receive them, it will roughly take you more than a month."
"More than a month..."
Kimberly still wasn''t satisfied, "Do theye in different styles and colors?"
"There''s only this pink pair for now."
Finally, Kimberly''s heart shattered into a million pieces.
So... did Sylvia want to tell her something about the earrings?
Did it mean that Maddox was the one who gave Sylvia the earrings?
Thinking of it, Kimberly bit her lip. She felt the room starting to spin around her.
For a moment, Kimberly felt that she was going to pass out. Fortunately, the sales assistant realized
that something was amiss, and hurriedly caught her.
"Miss, are you all right?"
