Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1365

Nick stepped forward and respectfully announced, "We've secured everything Ms. Jensen wanted, Mr. Cooper."

Shannon blinked in confusion. "What I wanted?"

Benjamin said nothing and gestured for the staff to step forward. They opened the boxes and revealed raw stones from the auction.

Not only did each of the raw stones have exceptional quality, but they also radiated abundant spiritual energy. Those were the raw stones Shannon had marked as her targets when she'd first reviewed the auction catalog.

"You lingered a little longer over those during the preview. Since things got busy here, I had them secure the pieces first. Take a look and see if we missed anything."

Benjamin's tone was so nonchalant as if these were just dishes she'd ordered from a menu. He seemed ready to order more if necessary.

Shannon pressed her lips together and looked at him in silence before finally shaking her head. Then, she said, "Everything's here."

Benjamin, her fiancé, really was exceptional.

She glanced at the boxes held by the staff and picked up an emerald bead bracelet from one of them. Benjamin didn't understand why she'd take a fancy to a bracelet with modest spiritual energy, but he noticed her interest and ensured it was purchased along with the others.

To her surprise, Shannon took the bracelet, grabbed his hand, and slipped it onto her wrist. "This is for you. I'll pay you back later."

Prices of the raw stones shouldn't be discussed here in front of Nick and the auction staff, but she was determined to pay for the bracelet herself.

Benjamin wasn't surprised that she insisted on settling accounts, but he was taken aback by her giving him a gift.

A faint gleam appeared in his dark eyes as he softly asked, "Why would you give me this?"

"Because I realized I've never given you a gift."

Indeed, the vibrant green bracelet on his wrist contrasted beautifully with his pale skin to create an unexpectedly striking look.

Shannon couldn't resist reaching out to run her fingers over the emerald bead. "It suits you," she remarked.

Benjamin said nothing in response. Though she was touching the bracelet, he couldn't shake the sensation that she was caressing his skin instead.

His skin crept with slight itchiness, just like his current emotions.

He turned his hand on impulse and gently grasped hers. Though he said nothing, his meaning was clear.

He liked it very much.
