"What?" Jacob was brushing his teeth and answered vaguely. When he turned his head, he saw Nicole
rushing in.
Nicole showed the screen of the tablet computer in front of Jacob and shouted, "look at this! Look at
this report!"
Jacob squinted his eyes to watch the report. And then he calmly turned around to brush his teeth.
The electric toothbrush kept buzzing. Nicole grabbed Jacob's arm and asked in disbelief, "this report is
a mess, isn't it?"
"Humph Humph." Jacob didn't answer her question as he was brushing his teeth.
"That necklace can't be so expensive. It should be a fake one, right?"
Jacob took out his toothbrush, took a sip of water and grumbled for a while. Then he replied
expressionlessly, "I never buy fake, and I never present fake."
Nicole asked in disbelief, "so... That necklace... "
"Keep it well. It will appreciate." Jacob wiped the bubbles from the corner of his mouth, turned on the
tap and began to wash his face.
"Oh my God..." Nicole was still in great shock. She bought a necklace worth thousands of dollars when
she got married. Besides, she seldom wore jewelry, and she didn't even wear a necklace worth
hundreds of dollars.
But last night, she wore a necklace worth millions of dollars without knowing it? Fortunately, she didn't
know, or she might feel that there was a thousand pounds around her neck, and she wouldn't have
walked.
"You should also wash your face and brush your teeth. After that, go downstairs to have lunch. Lily has
already prepared the lunch."
"Okay." In a daze, Nicole saw that Jacob passed by her and walked out calmly, as if nothing had
happened.
It seemed that a necklace worth millions was nothing at all?
Nicole felt dizzy. She hurriedly held the wash basin and calmed down after a while. She turned her
head slowly and looked at the shelf on the bathtub.
On the shelf, there were the dresses, high heels and the necklace that she had put last night.
Still suffering from the shock, Nicole swallowed her saliva and walked to the bathtub step by step,
holding out the necklace piled up under the dress with her hands in a posture of pilgrimage.
"Sorry I didn't recognize you... "
If Jacob came in now, he would be frightened by Nicole. Because Nicole was apologizing to a lifeless
necklace.
"Knock, knock, knock..." Lily walked into the bedroom and said respectfully, "Miss Nicole, Mr. Jacob
asked me to call you up. It's time for lunch."
"Okay." Looking around, Nicole drew a silk scarf from the closet and gently put the necklace on it. "I'll
be right downstairs."
Seeing that Nicole treasured the necklace so much, Lily suggested with a smile, "Miss Nicole, there is
a special jewelry box at home. Do you need it? If you need it, I will bring it to you."
Nicole nodded repeatedly, "yes, I need it. You go get it."
"Okay."
After a while, Lily came back with several velvet boxes. Nicole took the boxes from Lily and opened
one of them. Then she put the necklace in it carefully.
Lily smiled and asked, "did Mr. Jacob give you this necklace?"
"Yes."
"No wonder you are so precious, Miss Nicole."
Hearing that Lily misunderstood her, Nicole explained in a hurry, "no, it's not that reason. The reason
why I am so careful is that this necklace is too expensive... "
Lily nodded with a smile, "I do understand..."
Nicole was speechless
She didn't want to tell Lily how much the necklace was worth. She was afraid that Lily would be as
indifferent as Jacob, which would make her more embarrassed.

"What? When did you start to pay attention to the entertainment news?"
In the Research Institute, a middle-aged man, with a cup of coffee in his hand, teased Ron, who was
watching entertainment news on the computer.
Ron smiled and didn't answer.
"What's this?" The man got close to Ron's screen and looked at it carefully. Then he pointed at a photo
of a woman in a white dress and said, "she looks pretty."
"She's really pretty. I'm a little surprised."
The man elbowed Ron and asked, "what do you mean by that?"
"Nothing. What can I mean?"
"Stop pretending. You were not interested in it at all. Who is she? Do you know her? Or do you start to
be obsessed with these little stars? "
Ron shook his head with a smile, scrolled the mouse to the title, and said slowly, "she is not a star, she
is an online celebrity."
The man gave a long sigh and said, "well, you'd better giving up. The pictures are always fake. They
are not as pretty as on the pictures."
"You know it so well?"
"I've seen it before. It's true. Few are real." The man stuck out his tongue exaggeratedly. "their face is
full of Hyaluronic acid which is too much for saints to see."
Ron shook his head and denied, "you can't judge all in the same way. At least, this one is not the case."
The man sneered, "you know her so well? Have you met her before? "
"I've seen more than that." Ron replied.
"Wow, you're awesome! Tell me, you have an affair with the Internet celebrity not long after you came
back?"
Ron shrugged and said, "no, she was not an Internet celebrity when I knew her. HMM... She might not.
"
After saying that, he was a little uncertain.
After all, he didn't know much about Nicole.
"Then what are you waiting for? You've seen her in real. Go ahead! " The man smiled evilly. There
were some meanings in his tone that only men could understand.
Ron glared at the man and said seriously, "it's not what you think. This girl is very obedient, not the kind
of girl who dates casually."
The man snorted, "come on. Just tell this to a young boy. No man above twenty will believe your words.
As long as this is good enough, everything will be easy. " As he spoke, he rubbed his two fingers and
made a gesture of money.
Ron laughed and couldn't help but criticize, "you are a highly educated person. How could you be so
obscene and superficial?"
"I have no choice. My ex-girlfriends all want to be rich. I don't want to be so cynical." The man's words
sounded miserable, but there was no trace of sadness on his face. It could be seen that he was
deliberately making trouble.
Ron knew that his colleague had a weird character, so he didn't defend himself anymore. His attention
fell on Nicole on the screen again, lost in thought.
He found that he was more and more interested in this woman.
More and more interesting things attracted him from this ordinary woman.
