Chapter 963

“Okay, I will make the call right away.” In the Blue Whale Restaurant, Chloe found a seat by the window while Kelly waited for her in the car.

Not long after, Kelly saw Henry get out of the car and head inside the Blue Whale Restaurant.

“I envy Chloe. She has good food and drink every day and gets to know those bigshots. I wish I could be like her.” Kelly sat in the car with an envious face.

Kelly was bored. She was fiddling with her phone. Suddenly the phone dropped, so she bent down to pick it up. While she was looking for wet wipes to wipe the phone, a bag in the corner caught her attention. Just before Chloe entered the restaurant, she deliberately changed her handbag and then put the bag she often carried in the corner of the car.

Looking at the bag in the corner, Kelly started to speculate in her mind, wondering if the Dresden Green Diamond was in this handbag. She wanted to open it, but it seemed rude to open someone else’s handbag without permission. So Kelly was in a predicament. ‘It’s better to open it and take a look. In case it’s in there, I will pass the test.’ After getting it right, she would not have to be an assistant again, and she might even be promoted to a higher position . Just thinking about it made her happy.

She gently opened the handbag and rummaged around for a while. Suddenly , her fingers felt a box.

She took it out; it was unassuming. ‘This box doesn’t look like it contains a diamond, does it?’ Kelly studied the box suspiciously. Driven by curiosity, she decided to open it and take a look. As she gently opened the box, a bright diamond came into view. ‘Th- This is Dresden Green Diamond?’

Kelly could not believe her eyes. She rubbed them and looked at the box again. And there it was, the Dresden Green Diamond.

‘My goodness! Chloe put such a valuable thing in a lousy box like this. She is gutsy. She doesn’t have to go to such a great length just to test me, does she?’ Kelly’s heart was pounding as she could not contain the surprise of having the Dresden Green Diamond right in front of her eyes. She immediately took out her phone, snapped a picture,and sent it to Nicole, then closed the box and put it back , in place.

Nicole’s phone buzzed as she received a message from Kelly. She took a look by clicking on Kelly’s avatar, and there was a picture of Dresden Green Diamond. She slammed on the brakes to stop the car, then zoomed in on the picture and examined the photo carefully.

“Kelly? Is the diamond still with you?” Nicole asked in a whisper.

“Yeah, I’m the only one in the car right now,” Kelly told Nicole.

“You’re in the car by yourself? Where are you?”

“I’m in the parking lot of the Blue Whale Restaurant.”

“Hold it right there and guard the diamond.” Nicole hung up the phone, floored the gas pedal, and drove toward the Blue Whale Restaurant.

Chloe and Henry were sitting across from each other in the restaurant.

“Mr. Johnston, what have you been up to lately? I haven’t even seen you for a long time.” Chloe poured a glass of red wine for Henry.

“Alas, Jared is in charge of all of Johnston Group’s projects while I can only manage the branch. What else can I be busy with?” Henry was not too happy with his nephew.

“Then you should talk to him. Ask him to transfer you to the head office.”

“Hmph, that’s easy to say. I would be thankful if he didn’t kick me out of the company. How could he transfer me to the head office?” Henry picked up his glass and took a sip.

“You are so capable. It must be Jared who doesn’t know you yet. If you can pull some strings to place me in a position where I can see Jared, I won’t forget your help when I’m finally with him.” Chloe picked up her wine glass and clinked glasses with him.

“Isn’t that commercial shoot you’re on pretty good?” “It’s not good at all. I can’t see Jared at all except for filming.” Chloe complained.

“Doesn’t he even go to the shooting studio now to see the progress?” Henry asked in puzzlement.
