Chapter <b>335 </b>
Gabriel contacted the head <b>of </b>the R&D department at a rivalpany, smiling as he said, “Mr. <b>Palfrey</b><b>, </b><b>I </b>have some details about Prospectus Technology’s experimental research. Would you be interested?”
As soon as N arrived at the office the next morning, Melody excitedly shared the details of her dinner with Gabriel from the previous night. “N, he’s so gentle and handsome. Afterst night, I think I like him even more!
”
Seeing Melody’s flushed cheeks and lovestruck expression, N couldn’t help but smile. “Take it slow. You’ve only had one dinner, and you’re already so excited.”
“You’re right. But I’ll keep trying and aim to win him over soon, so I can be your sister–inw!” Melody gushed.
N’s smile brightened. “Go for it. I believe in you!”
Just then, the office door opened, and Gabriel walked in, smiling.
“What are you two so happy about?” he asked.
Melody’s cheeks flushed again at the sight of him. She shook her head quickly. “Nothing. We need to start the experiment.”
With that, she hurriedly changed into herb coat and left.
Now alone with Gabriel, N pretended not to notice him, reeling in her smile as she turned her focus to her report.
Noticing her cold demeanor, Gabriel lowered his gaze and silently took his seat at hisputer. It was fine. In time, she wouldn’t be so distant.
Around noon, N received a call from Vrie, inviting her to a jewelry auction.
N realized it was the same event Gabriel had sent her an invitation for.
“Aren’t you usually not a fan of these auctions? Why go this time?” N asked.
“There’s a piece of jewelry I’ve wanted for a long time at this auction. Juste with me!” Vrie pleaded.
After thinking for a moment, N agreed. If she could afford the piece Vrie liked, she might buy it as a birthday gift for her. Otherwise, she’d consider other options.
The jewelry auction was scheduled for three dayster at 7:00 p.m., and the day quickly arrived.
Before N had even finished work, Vrie texted her, saying she was waiting downstairs, clearly excited for the auction.
As soon as work ended, N packed up herb and headed downstairs. She spotted Vrie leaning against her red Lamborghini, engrossed in her phone.
Just then, N’s phone buzzed. She hurried over to Vrie, who looked up as she approached.

“You’re here already? I thought I’d be waiting a while,” Vrie remarked.
N pulled out her phone, opened their chat, and said teasingly, “Want to see how <b>many </b>reminders <b>you </b><b>sent </b><b>me</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>Seeing the screen filled with her own messages, Vrie burst outughing. “I just know how absorbed <b>you </b>get <b>in </b>your experiments. I was worried you’d forget. I was only reminding you…”
“Did you need to remind me that many times?” N teased back.
“Haha, let’s drop it. We need to hurry. It’s almost time. I brought dinner. You can eat on the way,” Vrie said.
They arrived at the auction just before 7:00 p.m.
After parking, Vrie quickly dragged N inside. As they reached the entrance, they bumped into rk and Jordyn.
Vrie rolled her eyes. “Just my luck!”
rk’s expression darkened, but he said nothing. Arguing with a woman in public would only make him look bad. Although rk stayed silent, Jordyn couldn’t hold back and barked, “Vrie, watch your mouth!”
