"Since you've come all the way here, I must take good care of you, Mr. Norwich. Is there anything you want to do or any place you wish to go? I'll accompany you to have some fun," Megan said with a smile.
She had already pushed away all of her tasks at the company as she planned on getting closer to Blake.
Blake nodded with a smile. "It doesn't matter where we go because I'm happy enough to have you by my side, Megan. It's my first time in Bellington, so I'm not familiar with the place. I'll let you do the planning."
When she heard that, she nodded and said with a smile, "Alright. Since you don't have any preferences, I shall make the plans myself. If you're unhappy with my arrangements, please don't hold it against me. By the way, there's something I would like to ask you about, Mr. Norwich."
Upon hearing that, Blake said, "Please go on, Megan. I'll tell you everything I know."
He was calling her so intimately like they were already close friends. However, Megan didn't mind it at all. In fact, she was happy about it.
"Here's the thing, Mr. Norwich. When I visited Norwich Jewelers previously, I saw a piece of jewelry called the Crystal of Devotion. It was so beautiful that I couldn't look away from it. I was wondering if it was one of a kind."
When he heard that, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled. "You've asked the right person, Megan. I might not be familiar with the business side of Norwich Group, but I'm really familiar with Norwich Jewelers."
He was telling the truth. As the well-known playboy of the Norwich family, he was really generous. None of the ladies around him didn't like jewelry. So, he visited Norwich Jewelers a lot and knew a lot about the place.
"I'm not familiar with the Crystal of Devotion as I've never seen it before. However, considering that it has a unique name and its own display box, I'm sure it's one of a kind. So, it should be the only one in existence.
After all, he couldn't possibly tell Megan that he didn't have the money to buy the Crystal of Devotion when they were at Norwich Jewelers.
He also couldn't go all out and grab the jewelry with his identity and tell them he would pay for it later.
It would be ridiculous as no one would give a damn about him. If he was working at Norwich Group, it wouldn't have mattered. It would also be fine if he were to grab something worth hundreds of thousands. However, the jewelry in question was almost 100 million dollars.
No one was going to care if he was the great Blake Norwich or not.
Seeing how he was losing his confidence, Megan immediately knew what was going on. Blake might really be the heir of the Norwich family, part of the Norwich family, but he didn't really have that much power in his family.
