“Do you like these flowers?” Debra asked with a smile. 

Rebecca nodded. “Yes, I do.”

After eating their fill and feeding the babies, they prepared to get on with the day’s tasks.

Rebecca realized once again how wealthy her family was. Her parents were incredibly rich. 

“Okay,” she agreed with a smile.

Dave turned to Patrick and Debra, smiling. “This is the best emerald we’ve unearthed recently. It’s the top–grade plasty species emerald, perfect for making jewelry.” 

Debra reached out to touch the emerald, growing fonder of it with every touch. 

“This one it is. Let’s make it into a bracelet,” she said with a smile. 

Dave readily agreed, “Alright, I’ll have someone start on it right away.” 

“Use the remaining to make a few pendants. One for Becky, and the other two, make them smaller for Lily and Kev, Debra instructed.

Janet scoffed, “Are you here to look at the emerald? Are you planning to give it as a gift to Cynthia?” 

Rebecca was taken aback by the remark. Suddenly, she understood and stared intently at Janet. “You are here to buy a gift for Cynthia?” 

Janet’s smile was triumphant. She said, “Exactly. So, I’d suggest you pick another gift. I’ll be getting her the best emerald, and if we both present our gifts together, yours will look so cheap that people might think our family is treating you poorly.”
