HEIRESS REBORN: MARRYING HER EX-FIANCÉ-Chapter 104: The Post (1)

Compared to her previous birthday gifts over the past years, a ring leaned more to the intimate side. And here she was, having certain thoughts of a particular finger with this same ring.

’’If you say so President Kingston.’’ The manager did not dare contradict her words. Seeing that Preisdent Kingston’s face seemed less flushed than earlier, he surmised that she was alright and began showing his strengths as a capable manager.

’’These cufflinks....’’

Ayana immediately zoned out from the manager’s chatters. Her soul, heart and mind were more inclined to the ring that instantly caught her attention. Unlike the shining and attractive jewelries with the staffs, she preferred the dark and monotonous aesthetics of the rings.

It wasn’t attention-seeking like the jewelries with the manager and his staffs, and the low-key style fitted the strict and discipline character of her fiancé.

’The ring can also stake a claim on your man, unlike your former life.’ A small voice whispered within the deepest of her mind.

’’...’’

’’I’ll take this ring.’’ Ayana directly interrupted the listless chatters of the manager and gestured to the ring of her choice.

At the same time, low whispers rippled through the customers of the jewelry shop, but Ayana bore no attention to them, and even their glances.

The manager’s face immediately became stiff at her words.

’’...You mean that ring, President Kingston?’’ A smile was forced on his lips. He has yet to finish introducing the other reputed jewelries. Yet President Kingston had already made her choice?

The manager observed the President’s blank face, unable to tell her feelings, and also threw a glance at the ring of her choice before the inwardly weighing the pros.

The ring wasn’t a bad choice, and the price was definitely not low.

However....

The manager specifically wanted to sell jewelries with reputed names. Families like the Kingston family mostly purchased such jewelries from him, especially their young misses. President Kingston should also be the same.

Besides that, his sixth sense as a businessman knew that President Kingston herself was a good advertisement for the jewelries here.

’’Ma’am...’’

The manager glanced at the assistant who called out to President Kingston, looking a bit cautious. Her presence suddenly made him recall something.

The jewelries that the assistant had always purchased for the President Kingston were not as glamorous as these with him

Of course, the prices were high, but appearance-wise, they were somewhat plain and simple with a touch of elegance.

It seemed this was the President Kingston’s taste....or the assistant must have been going behind her boss’ back. Though, that seemed likely because he had seen one of those jewelries on tales magazine.

Regrets filled the manager’s heart, but there was nothing he could do other than to agree with President’s Kingston’s choice. If he had known, he would have brought simple aesthetic jewelries with their respective names and reputation. Certainly, the prices would be high. Then again, this jewelry shop belonged to the Kingston family, and President Kingston was the literal head.

If she wanted to take any jewelry for free, who was he to stop her? Though the assistant had always made her payment in the past, even if he had stopped her from paying the bill. President Kingston was likely the same.

’But...it’s for a man, isn’t it?’ The manager recalled some words from earlier. If he remembered right, President Kingston had specified the gender of the jewelries, and the gender was male.

The manager had always followed news relating to the Kingston family well, and President Kingston had never announced any marriage for herself.

Then, who was the receiver of the ring?

The manager was aware that the President had a younger brother, but the brother’s rumored age was said not to have reached thirteen years old yet. The size of this ring was certainly too big for that age.

The manager’s curiosity suddenly shot up alongside his other thoughts.

Perhaps the first young master who she’s close with owned the ring....or it could be another man that might be President Kingston’s secret lover.....like the rumored fiancé

Meanwhile, Ayana had already turned towards her assistant, who seemed a bit hesitant to speak.

’’She did?’’

’’The person does look like her....’’

’’But why would she do this? Doesn’t this seem staged?’’ The whispers became much louder than earlier.

Ayana was quite sensitive to stares, and she immediately noticed how the glances in her way seemed to last longer than earlier. The eyes of these customers had also changed, much different from the ones moments ago.

’Something must have happened....’ Her sixth sense instantly tingled, and she suddenly had a feeling that she was about to experience another one of these social media dramas.

’’Ma’am, I’ve taken action against the articles.’’

Her assistant’s words immediately stamped her guess.

’’What happened?’’

The only person who was bold enough to use social media against her was Arabella who had been quiet all these years. It seemed her arrogant cousin’s tolerance of her has reached its limits.

Her assistant silently showed a post, and an image entered her gaze that she couldn’t be more familiar with.

Hazel eyes glanced at the person standing in the photo, then lingered more on the familiar actress who she recognized without taking a second guess.

From behind, Lisa observed as her boss’s lips curled into a faint sneer. She could sense the contempt that her boss carried for the trending article on social media.

It was quite obvious who was behind such scheme against her boss without wasting resources on investigation.

’’My assistant will come to purchase this ring in my name.’’ Her boss said after taking away her gaze. The manager quickly nodded in response. ’’Of course, President Kingston.’’

He was smart to know now was not a good time to push forward other reputed jewelries. His staff had already told him of the online controversies against the President Kingston.

’’Thank you for shopping with us, President Kingston.’’ The manager respectfully saw off his most esteemed customer who had to leave the jewelry shop forcefully when this could have been his lucky day.

No wonder the fortune cookie he had eaten one time stated that the enemy of a great person could also be his enemy. Then, he playfully assumed that he was going to be a great person himself and great people would surely have their enemies.

Who could have expected this was what those words had meant?

The manager immediately felt irritated, and couldn’t help but curse this enemy of his. Someone was silly enough to go against the President Kingston herself, which also affected his lucky moment. He wanted to know who the foolish person was to have taken such action.

’’Pack the ring that President Kingston wants.’’ He ordered one of the nearby staffs and mentally noted to keep an eye on social media.

Meanwhile, Lisa quietly glanced at her boss in the rearview mirror. As always, her boss remained unbothered, even when they were in the sea of gazes from the public outside the jewelry shop.

’’I’m dealing with the articles already, ma’am. Do you want to take some actions against the first young miss?’’

’’...Arabella?’’ Her boss’s gaze suddenly reflected in the rearview mirror with a hint of amusement. ’’Do you assume that she’s the only one behind that article?’’

Who else could it be?

Lisa became confused.

The first young miss was the likely person to use such method of going against her boss. Her family could also be supporting her actions.

There was no other whom Lisa had in her mind. Nowadays, many had steered clear of her boss, unlike in the past, where she would encounter different schemes from different competitors.

Ayana faintly grinned at her assistant’s silence. Indeed, Arabella would be the first suspect with a scheme like this, but was she the only one and the actual person who would benefit from this trending article?

Absolutely not.
