The purchase.

The car Dylan brought was one of the cars Mark saw in his compound when Dylan took him to his house for the first time. That time when Dylan revealed to Mark that he was the owner of the 'Rock and Roll' night club, yeah, that's the day that is being referred to here. It was a green-colored Benz... must be surely expensive. Both of them hopped into the Benz car as Dylan put the car into motion and onto the main road.

Inside the car, Mark triggered a conversation by asking Dylan a question,

"The jewelry store that we're heading to right now, have you been there before? are you familiar with it?".

"Yeah, I am familiar with it, I've been there lots of times. That's where I go most times to purchase some of the chains you see dangling across my neck. Even the one I'm wearing right now, I purchased it from there also". Dylan declared.

"Hmm, how far is the place from where we are right now?".

"Not too far, we'll get there soon". Dylan stated increasing the speed of the car.

Within some more minutes of driving, they arrived in front of the jewelry store. The building wasn't much of a tall building, it was just a simple type of glassy bungalow. Some part of the building was built in a see-through type of glass, while the others were in bricks. The glassy part of the building might seem easy to break, but it's not because it was a see-through toughened kind of glass.

Mark and Dylan hopped out of the car, and immediately, Mark uttered to Dylan after staring at the building for some seconds,

"The edifice is really beautiful, I like the way it was built, not to talk of the glamorous jewelry I'm already seeing through the glass".

"Yeah, their jewelry are really beautiful and expensive. What kind of jewelry are you looking for that you wouldn't find here? They've got everything, watches, chains, necklaces, rings, pendants, silver sterlings, and others. But I repeat once again, they are very expensive".

"Wow! all these are more indication of how rich you are, you love purchasing expensive things". Mark uttered.

"When there is money, you spend it, but reasonably. I invested my money in the right places, now I am profiting from it abundantly, so I must enjoy it to the fullest". Dylan stated.

"That's true, you are enjoying the fruit of your wisdom, you invested your money wisely and it's yielding good results now, so enjoy your money to the fullest bro. And that statement you made to me 'We rise by raising others', please keep up with it".

"Surely, we won't spend and enjoy the money alone, we render help and assistance to those that need it".

"As you are doing for me now, assisting me to attain the fame I deserve as an artiste".

"Yeah, something like that, let's go in". Dylan said lastly as the both of them began sauntering into the jewelry store.

The moment they stepped feet into the jewelry store, one of the female jewelers approached them immediately. The way she conversed with Dylan shows that she was really acquainted with him. It was no surprise, Dylan was a regular customer of their store, so they were supposed to be acquainted with him.

"So you are here for the normal stuff right? you wanna purchase some jewelry, right?".

"Yeah, I wanna purchase some expensive chains, and some rings too".

The moment Dylan made that statement, Mark glanced at him in a perplexed way, like, why was he mentioning rings now? They didn't talk about the purchase of rings for the video shoot, they only talked about purchasing chains...so why was Dylan mentioning rings? Dylan noticed the perplexed look on Mark's face, and he quickly understood the reason for it, so he gave Mark a look of 'I'll explain later', and Mark discerned immediately.

"I want to purchase up to three chains and five rings, and I know that you're good at selecting enticing jewelry, so I'll like you to assist me with this". Dylan said to the female jeweler, not that he wasn't good at selecting chains with fabulous designs, he just needed the assistance of someone that was more pro than him.

"Surely, I'll be glad to render you with my assistance, let's get strolling. But first of all, who is this guy?". She asked Dylan, she was referring to Mark, she hadn't seen him in this store before.

Mark nodded his head a bit and said to himself in his thoughts, "She doesn't even recognize me as an artiste, that's how underground of an artiste I am".

"He is a friend of mine". Dylan responded, he didn't want to tell her that he was purchasing the jewelry for Mark. If he did so, more questions would arise from her, and he wasn't in the mood to answer queries right now.

"Hmm, nice to meet you". She said forwarding her hand to Mark for a handshake.

Mark was reluctant to accept her handshake at first, he didn't just like her personality somehow. He didn't like the fact that she went about asking 'Who is this guy?', like, was it of business to her? Instead of her focusing on finding cool chains with nice designs for her regular customer, she wanted to know who he was? that's like bullshit to Mark. If she'd recognized him as an artiste, that would have been a different case, he would have been glad and would have willingly let her know more about him, but she doesn't, so why the f**k does she want to know who he was?

But he accepted her handshake anyway, the scenario would have been really awkward if he didn't. She beckoned on them to follow her, and they did, they began strolling about in the store in search of chains with very unique designs. The jewelry store wasn't empty, people were in it with the same agenda of buying whatever kind of jewelry they needed.

After some minutes of strolling and thorough searching, the young lady finally selected a chain with a very unique design. And truly, the lady had eyes for glamorous jewelry, enticing jewelry, jewelry that could keep a person's eyes glued to it for a long time. The chain she chose was very beautiful, it was so alluring and so glamorous.....it was surely gonna be really expensive.

Not like other chains in the store weren't beautiful and expensive, they were, but they were looking for the ones with outstanding designs.

"Wow! this is beautiful". Dylan said holding the chain in his hand, it was so glamorous, he handed the chain over to Mark for him to look at, turned his attention to the young lady, and uttered, "We still have two more chains and five rings to search for".

"Yeah, let's get going, the search continues". Said the young lady.

They began sauntering about in the store in search of two more chains with unique designs, and within few minutes, they found what they were looking for, two glamorous chains with distinctive designs. After that, they began searching for the best of the best rings to purchase. As time passed, they selected some of the rings with distinctive designs one by one, from one, to two, to three, and before they knew it, they had completed five rings. Lots of thanks go to the young female jeweler that assisted them in the selection, she did a great job.

The chains and rings were packaged well in a plastic wrap by the female jeweler, Dylan thanked her for the assistance she rendered them, and she replied to him saying,

"You are a regular customer of our store, so I'm always willing to render my assistance to you. Please, come again next time, keep on coming".

"Surely". Dylan uttered with a smile on his face.

After that, Dylan settled all the expenses of the jewelry they selected, he settled it with his debit card. Just to know, the amount was really tremendous, but it was nothing to Dylan, it was a piece of cake to him. Concluding with the payment, Mark and Dylan evacuated the jewelry store heading straight to Dylan's car. Dylan was in a rush to start the car the moment they entered it, but Mark stopped him saying,

"Are you gonna start the car and drive off just like that? remember, you haven't told why you abruptly decided to purchase rings for me for the video shoot without telling me about it".

"Oh! I forgot, let me clarify, that would be like another dope stuff. Imagine having expensive chains on your neck and expensive rings on your fingers while rapping, that would be like crazy dope stuff. As I said earlier, these could add a lot of impact to your music career". Dylan stated.

"Wow! that's cool".

"Yeah, it's really cool, the idea came into my thought the moment we entered the jewelry store, so I just had to add it to the list of jewelry we needed to purchase, there was no time to explain things to you at that moment".

"That's cool bro, once again, I really appreciate the help you're rendering me". Mark uttered feeling thankful towards Dylan.

"That's nothing bro, you need to attain the fame you deserve as an artiste". Dylan said placing his palms on Mark's left shoulder.

A smile appeared on Mark's face the moment Dylan made that statement and placed his palms on his shoulder. He glanced at Dylan and asked,

"Who is gonna inform Ben about the chains and rings stuff?".

"I'll do that, that's no big deal". Dylan said lastly as he started the car and drove off.
