Chapter 51 NEW JOB

RAPHAEL’S P O V

‘‘Is this piece of jewelry really a limited edition?’’ Naya asked, holding the pendant of the necklace around her neck as soon as I got closer to her.

I cleared my throat, taking time to think about how to answer her question. ‘‘It’s not…’’ I whispered to her, noticing that Norton was listening to our conversation even though his eyes weren’t on us. ‘‘Who told you about it?’’

‘‘I heard someone behind me talking about it earlier…’’ she answered, turning her head to the crowd, looking for that person who said it. The fact that a couple of the visitors in this room were familiar with the brand of jewelry did not come as a surprise to me; nonetheless, I was curious as to why Clover was unaware of the brand.
