"Hello, Mr. King, what a surprise! what brought you here today" A middle aged person greeted Ezekiel with a kind smile, from the cufflinks, tiepin, superior looks,....

a middle aged female person ? she wandered. An elegant older woman—presumably the shop manager—greeted Ezekiel with a polite bow. Despite her modest air, she was undeniably stylish and vibrant at the same time.

"Mily, how are you, apologies for coming in such short notice!" Ezekiel  stated politely shaking his hand

"Oh, that's fine, Is THIS your lady King ?" The manager whispered looking at her.

"that She is, 3days ago I've ordered something, will you check if it's ready!?"

He actually liked that, his lady  indeed, He smirked

"Sure Sir, I hope you don’t mind me getting right down to business. I’ve selected a few items for your consideration based on what you requested. If you would please come this way." Manager asked

"Very well! Show us more of your best collections"

"Sure, Mr. King" Manager nodded and left from there

Mayur was too busy admiring the decore of the whole showroom, so obviously she didn't hear their conversation, suddenly Ezekiel came from behind and pulled her by waist again and led her to the counter where huge trays of different jeweleries like chokers, bracelets, chains, stud/chandelier earrings were displayed and salesmans waiting infront of each tray for them, as instructed

breathtaking, gorgeous, best of the best would be understated complement, her mouth dropped open, when suddenly he whispered behind her, ''Choose''

"what kind of jewellery SHE likes ?" She gave him a side eye and asked coldly

''I don't know, I didn't ask!'' He said and shrugged, knowing exactly where the conversation is going, but it was fun teasing her

caterpillar is jealous, he likes it.

''then call her and ask" She was getting irritated

He nodded going in distance, dialed her number and her phone started ringing, she pulled it out and absentmindedly answered, "hello ?"

''ok so, what kind of jewellery you like Mrs. King ?'' His voice came from the other side, she pulled it out of her ear to check the number.

"Umm___who i-"

"It's me, your husband, you Infuriating woman, you do not have my number ?"

the fact that she didn’t even have her husband's number saved in her phone was the 8th wonder of the world!

"Umm....well!.....I--- um" She didn't know what to say, she never bothered to ask for the number since they barely talked

He scowled ''choose a ring first then anything you like''

He threatened in hushed tone ''choose Caterpillar or do you want me to buy the whole store ?'' which was really ridiculous but it did got a reaction out of her
she quickly turned around and started looking....

"but I don't wear jewellery much, i don't need anything" She whispered softly, tried to convince him

''So whole store it is then, manager!!'' He shrugged and turned to look for the manager

"No! wait, fine, this one!" She said choosing a simple gold band with a tiny single topaz stone encrusted ring

''It's practically invisible, that one!'' He furrowed at her chosen ring and showed her another one emerald ring cut diamond ring with platinum band which was at least 10 carat
