New Clothes

Arad stared at Roberta after they finished signing the papers. "When Can we expect the jewelry?" She stared at him with a smile.

Arad shoved his hand in his pocket with a smile. "Right now. I thought the girls might want to change something after getting the new clothes." Arad pulled the jewelry and laid it on the table.

Gerald stared at the jewels, "Don't tell me you always walk with them on you. Why did you even buy so much?"

Arad stared at him. "It's for the girls to change from. I still haven't paid the smith. But since you're paying upfront, that can be arranged."

Roberta approached the table and stared at the jewels so closely that she almost kissed them.

"I will make sure to report each sale with details. I will do my best to put them on auction." She looked at Arad. "I'm sure this would profitable for you."

Arad stared at her, "The smith owns them." He could feel her gaze scanning his body. Last time she was able to tell when he lied. He needs to be careful.
