Chapter 101 - Bringing Him Home.

Abigail pov contd..

"But I do not have any idea about jewel making. Should I not take some time and study it before claiming that I was the one who made it?" asked Oliver looking at me confused.

"You need to learn it eventually. But i do not have so much time for now. So, I will tell you the details. And all you have to do is act. And then learn slowly, as you get time. So, is there anything else?" They all looked at each other and then shook their heads.

"Then I hope you have a good day." Then I took the bell from the table and rang it. The girl who had served the meals before came back, "I want you to pack  a box of all the snacks on the table for the guests." she nodded her head and left.

"My lady, how can we take this.."

"With your hands.. Now my family is about to come back, so you better leave. And remember never tell anyone that you work for me." they all nodded and left except Oliver who was looking at me with calculating eyes.

"What is it?" I asked as he did not stop staring at me though staring at nobles would be taken as a crime, yet he was not at all looking hesitant about it.

"You do not have any friends. You are the one who designed the jewels and designs of gowns too.'' His tone was clear that he was stating the facts, not asking me, and I frowned.

"That is not the truth. I have a shy friend. Anyways it has nothing to do with you. You better look at the design and listen to me carefully.'' I pointed and he finally nodded and looked down, but the smirk on his face was telling that he knew the truth well.

Should he not be a bit conscious as a commoner, the way he was slitting with me comfortably and even pointing at me was not something I was expecting.

"So this would all be gold, and the stone would be sapphires. I wanted a mix of some diamonds in between. While this bracelet. It will be in white gold, with a mix of emerald in the heart of each dancing girl."

"The design would look prettier if it was ruby or red topaz. Think about it. The dancing girl with white gold would go more with.." he continued giving his views, and i was happy that he was the one who was going to work on jewels. Though he was not from this line, at least, he has a good taste.

"Well you can discuss it with my sister. It is both of your designs in the end."

"Oh, what do we need to discuss now?" asked Isabella as she came in with Nickolas.

He frowned as he looked at a man sitting in the room near me. Even Isabella, who was laughing ear to ear, stopped.

"Oh, this is my friend. I have called him to meet Isabella. I want to support her to fulfil her passion.`` I smiled brightly as I said that. 

"Oh. I thought that your friend was a girl!" exclaimed Isabella and the man looked at me with a smirk.

"How do you even know him? He is not a noble." asked Nickolas as he sat in between us as if Oliver was a threat.

I rolled my eyes at his over-protectiveness.

"I have bought a jewel from the shop where he worked. When I heard about the dream of Isabella. I decided to hire him so that they can start making jewels again. Nickolas, as a brother you should support us' 'I whined like a young girl and then eyed Isabella. 

She nodded her head and started whining too. "Brother Nickolas, i really want to make jewels and buy the shop of my father again." said Isabella, her voice was much more honest than mine.

He looked at both of us and sighed.

"Alright, but how will we convince father?" 

"Well, if he did not know then he did not need to be convinced. It is the secret of the three of us.`` I said with a wicked grin.

Nickolas frowned, "you want to hide reality from father? That is not good!"

"Brother father is overprotective. He would never trust us for this. But if achieved something he would be proud of the three of us. And I am sure you will not break our hearts. Finally we are going to start something as family.'' I blinked my puppy eyes looking at him.

"Brother i will do as you say., but i will be delighted if you will support us" she started blinking her big doe eyes too. 

Nickolas tried to ignore both of us. Isabella moved and held his left arm and I did the same with his right arm. He looked at both of us who were pouting and looking at him with puppy eyes.

"Fine. .you both won. But you have to keep me informed and if I ever feel that things are not according to the plans. I will stop this adventure for you at the very same moment." though he tried to sound strict, we both knew that we had won the battle.

We both nodded together and hugged him. That was when I noticed that Oliver was looking at us with an amused smile.

I cleared my voce and collected myself.

"Isabella, Oliver had brought the design and he wants to discuss it with you. If you think it is appropriate then you both can start working on it. I will inform Amayra and Sharron to meet you as soon as you both are done.`` I replied, maintaining my composure when she frowned.

"Well, how are we both going to work on it together. I can not bring all my things out of the palace and he did not have proper apparatus. do you have them?" she asked looking at Oliver who just shrugged his shoulders.
