She paused, then turned her head to see Noah Drexler sitting on the sofa, expressionless as he looked at the document on his laptop.
The serious expression on his face reminded Summer Shawcross of the incident yesterday that had displeased him, making her heart tighten.
His voice just now was so cold; was he still angry?
"Noah Drexler... this bracelet..." After a moment, she raised her left hand, wearing the bracelet, with curiosity.
How did this thing end up in her hand?
Faced with her confusion, Noah Drexler’s expression didn’t change much, he just pressed his thin lips and calmly said,
"I’m entrusting it to you for safekeeping. Don’t take it off."
Upon hearing this, Summer Shawcross was speechless.
Does he think of her as a safe?
What if such a valuable thing accidentally gets lost?
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but lower her head and look at the bracelet on her wrist.
Even though it was daytime now, the gemstones on the bracelet were still beautiful. While not as dazzling as at night, the stones’ soft hues were pleasing to the eye.
Especially when it was worn on her wrist, it seemed even more attractive.
While she was admiring the bracelet on her hand, she suddenly remembered an important question.
Noah Drexler had come to Zephyria specifically for this gemstone bracelet.
Items at such auctions usually aren’t brand new but are donated by collectors.
Yet, judging by Noah Drexler’s reaction last night, he seemed familiar with this bracelet, which made her very curious about why he had to have it.
And this bracelet was clearly a woman’s bracelet. Could it be... because of a particular woman?
At this thought, Summer Shawcross felt as if something was clogging her heart, feeling a bit uneasy.
"Is there something special about this bracelet?" She bit her lip and asked him out of curiosity.
As Summer spoke, Noah Drexler was typing on his keyboard, replying to work emails.
Upon hearing her question, he frowned slightly, then pressed his lips and said,
"No, it’s just an ordinary bracelet."
In his eyes, the bracelet itself had nothing special about it.
Unhappy with his answer, Summer Shawcross quickly added.
"That’s not what I meant. I mean, is there a story behind it with you? Is it related to someone?"
After asking the question, she looked at him attentively.
Noah Drexler’s long fingers paused on the keyboard, his eyes dimming slightly.
After a moment of silence, he pressed his lips again and softly said,
"These are things better left unknown."
"..." Seeing he was unwilling to say more, Summer Shawcross couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed, lowering her head to look at the bracelet on her wrist, then she pursed her lips and sighed.
She didn’t know if he was still upset with her for the incident last night when she nearly sold him out to Wendy Linden during a bet, or if he genuinely didn’t want to share those matters with her.
Her soft sigh reached Noah Drexler’s ears, causing him to frown slightly as he glanced sideways at her.
Seeing her face full of disappointment, a trace of helplessness flashed across his charming face.
A few seconds later, he pressed his lips and asked her,
"Do you care a lot?"
"Hmm..." Summer Shawcross nodded earnestly.
Though she didn’t know him well enough yet, there was one thing she was certain of.
That is, Noah Drexler would not personally come to Zephyria just for a rare or extremely valuable woman’s bracelet.
