Chapter 1460: Chapter 1460 Emerald Bracelet
"After all, there’s no way I can leave a young girl alone waiting by the roadside."
Annie Anne opened her mouth but didn’t know how to respond at that moment. Just then, her phone lit up with a message from her assistant.
It was a voice message, and Annie Anne meant to convert it into text, but accidentally opened it instead.
"I’m really sorry, Annie. I’ve suddenly had an allergic reaction and been hospitalized, so I can’t pick you up. Where are you now? Shall I call a car for you?"
As soon as the assistant’s voice ended, Campbell Prickly’s voice came drifting over, "Looks like someone has already made the decision for you."
Hearing this, Annie Anne couldn’t find any words to refute Campbell Prickly, so she just nodded towards him.
"Thank you for the trouble."
Campbell Prickly smiled, leading Annie Anne to the parking lot.
After the banquet ended, many people had already departed, leaving only a few solitary cars in the parking lot.
"Where to?" Campbell Prickly asked thoughtfully as he opened the car door for Annie Anne.
Annie Anne reported her address to Campbell Prickly as she got into the car, taking off the coat draped around her shoulders.
Originally Annie Anne returned the coat to Campbell Prickly, but after accepting it, Campbell Prickly placed it over her lap.
"Is the temperature in the car okay?" Campbell Prickly asked.
Seeing Campbell Prickly ask so earnestly, Annie Anne nodded but couldn’t help curling her lips into a smile.
"You feel a bit like a chauffeur."
Hearing Annie Anne’s words, Campbell Prickly paused for a moment as he was starting the car.
Then he chuckled lightly and said, "This is the first time someone has described me like this. But hearing you say it, I do feel quite like one. So, Miss Anne, please fasten your seatbelt, we’re about to set off."
Perhaps because of these few joking words, the atmosphere between Campbell Prickly and Annie Anne wasn’t quite as awkward.
The car played soothing music, allowing Annie Anne to relax a bit.
She originally intended to adjust to a more comfortable position, but as she moved, a box slipped out and rolled to her lap.
"What is this..."
Annie Anne looked at the black velvet box and turned to Campbell Prickly next to her.
"Is this the jade bracelet you won today?"
Campbell Prickly glanced at Annie Anne while waiting at a red light, then nodded.
"It must have been in my pocket all along."
"May I open it and have a look?"
Annie Anne asked politely; she really liked the jade bracelet during the auction but couldn’t see it clearly from a distance.
With Campbell Prickly’s permission, Annie Anne carefully opened the box. Inside lay a jade bracelet quietly, seeming to emit a gentle glow under the car’s lights.
"So beautiful."
Annie Anne couldn’t help but express her admiration, and gently reached out a finger to touch the bracelet, feeling a smooth sensation akin to water.
"Do you like it very much?" Campbell Prickly saw the smile on Annie Anne’s face and softly asked.
"Of course, such a beautiful bracelet; I think anyone would like it."
