    Connor scrutinized the item before him. “It seems of overige quality”


    Logan scoffed, retorting. “You think you know about this stuff?


    Connor shook his head. He recalled that his mother’s diamonds had sparkled more than this.


    “Standard quality for these gems,” Logan said, eyeing him.


    Connor was still not satisfied, no matter how he looked at it.


    “Let’s get the best quality raw diamonds and cut them. Would that satisfy you, Mr. Connor?” Logan


    sighed,


    “That might work,” Connor agreed.


    Logan rolled his eyes. Cutting good raw stones into small diamonds seemed like a waste.


    Til select them at yourpany,” Connor stated.


    “Alright” Logan’s eyebrows twitched.
