The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 151 - The Jewelry Shop (2)

Tears prickled her eyes, when Dawn saw that Daryn had brought her to the store, The Tiara - that belonged to her father. She stopped herself from becoming too emotional for it was a happy moment. They walked inside with Daryn's arm wrapped around her shoulders. But the moment they stepped in, she picked up the voice of her long time nemesis. Her facial muscles became tense.

"Jason, the ring that you gave me for our engagement slipped off. It is lost and now your Aunt, Helena is scolding me. It is not my fault that the ring slipped from my finger. My fingers are thin and I think I am losing weight also," Niall complained. "It's not like you people have any dearth of jewelry," she said waving her hand in a circle.

"Don't worry Niall. She is sometimes slightly conservative. You can buy whatever you like, okay?" Jason assured her.

"Thank you my dear," Niall replied in a dulcet voice.

Dawn lowered her head and walked to the counter, as guided by Daryn. She didn't know whether he even knew about them or cared to know about them. And she didn't want to confront them. But she also knew that Jason could have picked her familiar scent.

The Manager of the shop recognized Daryn immediately. He rushed to the couple.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Silver," he said in a flattering voice. "This way Sir," he said and pointed in the direction where diamond jewelry was on display. "We have prepared a few samples for you to take a look. Once you finalize, we will send it to our finest goldsmith and get it made."

Daryn nodded. He held Dawn at the small of her back and walked behind the Manager. Two more employees joined them and started to show them the samples they had prepared. Numerous glittering, diamond rings, heavy necklaces and earrings were displayed in front of them. Dawn had a taste for jewelry. She had always chosen for her mother ever since she was young. And this time she decided that she would wear the jewelry for her marriage, bought from her father's shop.

"Baby, choose what you like for yourself as well as for me. I really don't know what to go for," Daryn said scratching his head. He looked so confused that Dawn chuckled.

"Sure," she replied. Then she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You have to pay tax to me for that."

Daryn raised an eyebrow. "I'd be more than happy to," he whispered back in a sexy voice, and Dawn blushed to her neck.

"Louche!" she said under her breath.

Dawn looked at the Manager and asked, "Show me a gold band with only a line of diamonds across it."

A phone ring disturbed and Daryn took out his phone to check the caller. "I need to take this, babes," he said and darted out.

The Manager showed her various rings with similar patterns as suggested by her. Finally she decided on one. It was time to decide for herself, when her eyes fell on a beautiful necklace. It had solitaire diamonds in one string, which were flanked by ruby roses and green sapphire leaves twines around it. The matching earring had two chains that dropped till the shoulders. One chain had a string of solitaire diamonds, while the other one was a vine of roses and leaves. It reminded her of the cavern that led to the Ulfric. She wore it to see how it looked on her neck. It glittered and shined and the diamonds split the white light into its purest colors, which shimmered on her white skin and neck. It looked so beautiful that the employees gasped.

"Madam, you look lovely!" said one of them.

Daryn had come by then. He loved it, kissed her, and then again went out with the phone tucked between his ear and shoulder.

"Please pack this for me," she said with a polite smile. The Manager took it to the counter immediately. Not many people bought that kind of expensive stuff, and so he hurried to bill it. She started looking for a ring, and a tiara for herself.

Her phone buzzed. Randy was calling.

Randy sounded excited. "Ms. Dawn, there's an old employee in the list, Hans Müller. He has filed a case against The Starfish Refineries. He was an officer in the procurement department. He could be of some use to you."

"Contact him and invite him over," she instructed and cut the call.

As soon as she shoved the phone back in her purse, she heard a squeal, "Oh my God! That's such a beautiful necklace. I want it, Jason." Niall's shrill nasal voice came from behind.

Dawn could already feel Jason's eyes boring her. She knew that he had sensed hers and Daryn's presence, but was too scared to come because of Daryn. She didn't pay attention to Niall and simply continued to look at the rings for herself.

"I am sorry Ms. Niall," said the cashier, "but this is already bought. We are in the process of its billing."

Niall's face scrunched in disgust. "What do you mean? This store belongs to us. How dare you give it to anyone else when we, the owners are standing here?"

The Manager knew that this was how the things worked. It was a first come first served basis. "Madam, if you want to buy this necklace, you will have to talk to the lady sitting over there. If she allows you, we will bill it for you." He didn't want to be the reason for the company getting sued for wrong practices by a giant like Daryn Silver.

Niall stomped her foot. Her nostrils flared. She turned to Jason and said, "This is how I am going to be treated?"

Jason turned and growled at the Manager. "This store belongs to Lily Wyatt and I am her Grandson. Don't you know that?"

"Y— yes Sir," the Manager said. He was afraid of his job now.

"Everything out here belongs to me!"

"Y— yes Sir."

"Then pack this necklace for my fiancé! She comes first than any other customer here." Jason flared looking at Dawn. How could he let Dawn buy anything that she loved so dearly? He couldn't imagine the satisfaction he would get by inflicting humiliation on her. This was his terrain and she couldn't do anything. Now that Daryn wasn't around her, he would pounce on the chance to insult her.

Dawn stopped scanning at the rings. She clenched her teeth when Jason said that he was the Grandson of Lily Wyatt. However, she controlled her anger and puffed. Lily Wyatt deserved people like him around her.

"Madam, I think it's the necklace you chose that Ms. Niall is demanding," an employee pointed. She sounded nervous.

Dawn nodded. She got up from her place and then walked to the Cashier. As she walked closer to Jason and Niall, Niall's eyes became wide with surprise, and then there was smirk. Ignoring them completely, as if they didn't even exist in the world, she walked past them, went towards the Cashier and said, "Have you billed for the necklace?"

The Manager gulped. He shook his head. "Sorry Ms. Dawn, but there's a problem." He went on to explain as to why he couldn't bill it in her name.
