Selling Gems

Bella did not know Erwin’s intentions. She saw him nod to Frederick and immediately became happy. She lowered her head and said softly to Erwin: “Thank you very much. On that wedding day, I will definitely send invitations to you and the Hall. I hope you two can attend.”

Erwin Wilson nodded, then he looked at the manager.

Finally, the manager came to his senses after seeing the blue diamond. He feels that Erwin Wilson is very lucky, just arbitrarily can open such a gem. The value of blue diamonds is second only to red diamonds. I don’t know if he has any more stones like that in the shop.

“This way, gentlemen!” The manager bowed respectfully, then invited the Erwin Wilson group into a private room. “Inside, we have a quiet room for negotiators.”

Frederick Hall nodded, then motioned for Erwin Wilson to follow him. Behind him, the manager spoke to the surrounding guests: “Sorry everyone, today our gem shop will not accept customers. If possible, you can come back tomorrow morning!”

When the door closed, Bella Richard handed Erwin Wilson a business card, then sat down. Because of the convenience of the transaction process, even the store manager did not step in. Inside the room were only Bella, the two Erwin, Frederick, and Ian.

Ian put the stone in a rather elaborate box. He said: “If you need documents to buy and sell, it’s available in this shop.”

With that, Ian stood up and walked over to the side of a desk. He used to open the first drawer, and inside there were many papers selling precious stones. This shop used to have a lot of people choose to exchange and buy. And in this era, getting legal certification is also very fast. Just scan the code and send it to the system less than fifteen minutes after completing the procedure.

Erwin Wilson seemed to think of something. He tugged the corner of Frederick Hall’s shirt, then handed him a text message.

“Let Miss Richard transfer the money to your account number.”

Looking at this line, Frederick Hall smiled slightly, he narrowed his eyes and whispered in his ear: “Aren’t you afraid that I will take this money and turn it over?”

Frederick Hall’s words were not without reason, because there was no relationship between them at all. All was said orally, fiancé, future husband, never confirmed by anyone. Erwin lowered his eyes slightly, smiled, and then looked Frederick Hall straight in the eyes. This is his answer. He trusts the dignity of Frederick Hall.

Seeing Erwin Wilson’s fearless eyes, Frederick was a bit taken aback, but soon he was able to control his emotions. Frederick Hall and Bella quickly signed the papers and scanned them into three copies, one for him to keep, one for Bella, and one for Ian to witness.

Waiting until she transferred two million to Frederick Hall’s account, Erwin quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The next thing to do is go to the bank to get a card. Erwin’s card was soon in the hands of Hein Wilson. It’s the right time. Little money is money. I will calculate each item with him later.

“Let’s go back!” Frederick Hall stood up and said to Erwin, “I’ve booked a table at Sophia’s!”

Erwin nodded. It was now past five o’clock in the afternoon, and it took half an hour to return to the city center from here. Just in time to eat!

“Wait a minute!”

Ian, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up. He stood up, and handed Erwin Wilson a business card: “In the future, if you want to check the stone, you can come to me!”

Erwin Wilson flipped a business card in his hand. Above it was Ian James’ name and his position in the antiquities institute. Ian James did not say much. He handed Erwin Wilson his business card and left the shop. Frederick patted Erwin on the shoulder. “Hold it! Ian is a difficult person. He rarely interacts with other people. Surely, he had a good impression of you. I see that you are very gifted in pouring stones, you can find him to help you later!”

Erwin Wilson nodded, obediently putting away the business card. The two left the gem market. Before leaving, the manager also used flattering words to invite Erwin Wilson to come back next time. Today, although it is a pity that the stone opened by Erwin Wilson is so precious, it also brings a lot of fame to his shop.

Frederick Hall drove back downtown, driving so slowly that Erwin Wilson felt a little drowsy. This body was inherently weak in health, especially after the accident. The original owner fell ill once every few days. In his previous life, Erwin Wilson had a healthy body, so when he came back to this place, Erwin Wilson was a bit unfamiliar.

Not knowing when the boy in the passenger seat next to him had fallen asleep, Frederick Hall turned down the music in the car and then turned the temperature a little higher. Originally, the car's speed was not fast, and now it was adjusted by Frederick Hall as if it were crawling. As a result, the half-hour journey stretched to forty-five minutes. Waiting until he parked the car in front of the restaurant, Erwin Wilson slowly opened his eyes.

“Are you already there?” Erwin Wilson looked out the car window, then typed in front of Frederick Hall. Only now did he vaguely feel that being mute was troublesome. It is also difficult to communicate. Erwin Wilson vaguely remembered the accident that the original owner's vocal cords were injured but not completely incurable. It's just that the Wilsons despise the original owner and don't want to continue to let the original owner heal.

Erwin Wilson silently clenched his fists. The original owner must have suffered enough humiliation.

Frederick Hall shook his head, unbuckled his seat belt, and got out of the car. Erwin Wilson also did not let the other party open the door to help him like in the afternoon. Even if he were to be married to a man as strong-willed as Frederick Hall, he was still a man. Erwin Wilson didn't need Frederick to be gallant to him.

Frederick did not think much. He saw Erwin get out of the car and gave the key to the security guard to let him park.

Frederick and Erwin entered the restaurant, and immediately a staff member stood at the door, smiled, and greeted: “Sophia welcomes you. I don't know if you have booked a table in advance?"

Frederick nodded to the waiter. "Hall."

Hearing this name, the new employee raised his head. In front of her eyes was a handsome man. He was wearing a light gray suit, his cold face did not carry excess emotion. She quickly regained her senses, then stretched out her hand. “Is that right, Mr. Hall? I invite you and your friends to follow me!”

Frederick Hall booked a table on the first floor, not a private room. With the two people's current relationship, it would be even more embarrassing to be in a closed room without anyone. The restaurant was filled with people at this time, mostly dating couples. A few years ago, the same-sex marriage law was passed, so it is not surprising to see two men walking side by side. Only occasionally was someone passing by, because both Frederick and Erwin looked so outstanding.

The table was already arranged with wine and candles, and the restaurant was even thoughtful enough to arrange an extra rose. Erwin Wilson opened the menu, mostly familiar dishes, thought for a while, and finally selected a few easy-to-digest dishes. Erwin Wilson has an evening routine of only having a small salad or soup. But now, the person opposite him was his fiancé, so he had to choose an extra main dish.
