Chapter 1492
Felicity’s initial irritation dissipated, as she listened to the story of Maggie Hart. "No wonder she reacted that way
when we looked at her sketches.’
Just then, Darcie's assistant called to inform them that she had arrived at the store.
Stella ended the call, turned to Felicity, and said, "Let's go. She's here."
Felicity snapped back to her senses and quickly video-called Vermont before inserting a wireless earpiece into her
ear.
The Velvet was situated on the mail's first floor, boasting a spacious storefront covering at least two thousand
square feet.
When Stella and Felicity entered, they were warmly greeted and asked what they were looking for.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I'm here to meet someone," Stella replied calmly.
At that moment, a woman who had been taking a call by the counter suddenly turned around.
She sized up Stella and said something to the person on the other end of the line before hanging up. She walked
directly up to Stella and respectfully said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Hall. I'm Ms. Arnold's assistant, Aubrey
Abbott. Ms. Arnold had instructed me to assist you in the handover of The Velvet."
Stella observed Aubrey without giving away any emotions. She appeared to be in her thirties or forties with average
looks. Her makeup was well done, and she had a professional demeanor. Her expression was composed and did not
reveal much.
'This person must be special for Darcie to keep her as a trusted aide,' thought Stella.
"Hello, Aubrey. I appreciate your help."
"It's my pleasure." Then, Aubrey turned to a man who had been looking at Stella the entire time and said, "Chris,
from now on, The Velvet will be under the management of Ms. Stella Hall. Gather everyone for a meeting.’
Felicity's eyes widened. 'Chris?'
The man Aubrey addressed immediately came over with a smile. "So, this is the new boss. I apologize for my
rudeness. Everyone is busy with their respective tasks right now, so I doubt we can gather everyone together."
Chris had thick brows and big eyes. He exuded a presence of righteousness. Yet, his eyes seemed evasive, which
added a touch of shrewdness.
Upon hearing his words, Stella smiled faintly. "There's no need to call everyone. You can just show me around,
Chris."
Chris glanced at Stella before he responded, "Of course, Ms. Hall. Please follow me."
The entire first floor was the sales area. Chris began by showing her around the section and explaining everything
along the way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe Velvet specialized in high-end jewelry. Each of their designs was produced in limited quantities with no restocks
once they were sold out. They had premade jewelry but also accepted private commissions with dedicated
designers to help create pieces tailored to their clients' preferences.
Based on the information Darcie provided, The Velvet had been in operation for nearly a decade. They were a
brand that focused on luxury jewelry and were quite renowned in the elite circles.
After a thorough tour, Stella found that the jewelry designs did not particularly stand out. If she were a buyer, the
pieces in the display cabinets would not entice her to make a purchase.
Stella scanned the merchandise and asked, "Chris, are there no better- designed jewelry pieces in the store?"
Chris chuckled and said, "Ms. Hall, you're not usually into jewelry, are you? These designs are actually the most
requested by our clients. As for better ones, they do exist. But each piece costs millions and is locked in the safe."
Felicity's eyelids twitched. 'What is this store manager implying?! Stella could fill all their cabinets with the jewelry
she owns!'
However, Stella was not offended. She smiled and said, "I'm new here, so I'm not very knowledgeable. Chris, could
you bring out the most outstanding piece in the store for me?”
