Chapter 28: Do You Know Joanne?

After three hammering on the auction stand,Selena looked at Jocelyn with some uncertainty. "That's all right? Are you sure this Mrs. Ruskin will remember me? Can I speak with her?" When she was talking, someone knocked on the door of the box. Cora went to open the door,the man in a suit and leather shoes came in,he looked like an assistant. "You must be Mrs. Morrison, our madam asked me to come and say hello to you.Thank you for giving up that necklace just now." Selena laughed like a flower at once, "I don't like taking away what people love. Since Mrs. Ruskin likes it so much, I can't destory our friendliness." "Sure." The assistant handed over a delicate small box, "It's a little good will of our madam,which to make up for the loss of the necklace you just gave up." " oh my god, Thanks a lot." Selena received the gift happily, but did not know that this had been a disguised rejection of the future contact. Jocelyn frowned and stood up when she heard some noise coming from the next room. "Mom, I am going to the bathroom." "Okay."Selena got a valuable bracelet and was in a good mood. In the bathroom—— Jocelyn tidied her hair in front of the mirror.After a flush,a woman with a graceful figure came out.It was obviously that she was in her forties,but she managed her figure very well. Dark green shirt tied in high-waisted broad-legged trousers, she looked very capable. Jocelyn's eyes fell on her neck and asked with hesitating. "Madam, the necklace on your neck is bought by you at auction just now,right?" Mrs. Ruskin nodded coldly and wanted to leave. "Madam, wait a minute." Jocelyn stopped her. "What's the matter?"Mrs. Ruskin looked unhappy. She had always disliked wasting time on strangers. "If Madam goes out like this and then is photographed by the reporters, you maybe become the laughingstock in the circle tomorrow.Your status as the founder of a fashion magazine may also be questioned." "What do you mean?" Mrs. Ruskin frowned. "Madam, you bought the Mermaid Tear Necklace on your neck from collections of princess of the Leonard family at auction, right?" Mrs. Ruskin did not make a clear statement and even looked at her impatiently. "This necklace has never been worn by the princess of the Leonard family. Do you know why?"Jocelyn deliberately attracted her attention and also pretended to casually mention Joanne. "Do you know Joanne?" Mrs. Ruskin carefully looked at Jocelyn with less impatience on her face. Joanne and Mrs. Ruskin were very good friends during her lifetime. When Jocelyn mentioned Joanne, it will certainly attract her attention. "I don't know her, I happened to have read the classics and studied the Mermaid Tear Necklace collected by the princess of the Leonard family, it was not necklace." "What?" "It is a headwear"Jocelyn smiled and found out the prepared pictures from her cell phone. "Probably because the wearing of the headwear needs a relatively cumbersome hairstyle, so the princess of the Leonard family is afraid of trouble, she has never worn it." When Mrs. Ruskin saw the pictures, her face changed and she was not happy at once. "The auctioneers do not say clearly,they also publicized the lot on a large scale a week in advance.I came here for this,do they make me look bad by design?" "I don't know that."Jocelyn didn't have to cover up the fault for Stan Judd, she just skillfully changed the subject. “I and my mother-in-law also came here for this headwear, so I know more about it, but unfortunately, it was finally bought by you." Mrs. Ruskin's eyes turned and her face looked a little better, "Are you the daughter-in-law of the Morrison family?" Jocelyn nodded and said with low voice. "Yes, I'm sorry to have made bold to bother you just now. By virtue of a few people see it, you take it off, I won't say it." "There is nothing about bothering."Mrs. Ruskin was a cheerful woman,"It is that you reminded me.Otherwise, as you said, I would be disgraceful when in the news." Jocelyn smiled humbly. "If you don't mind, I'll match you with a suitable hairstyle to wear this headwear. On the one hand, it can really help you. On the other hand, I really like this headwear, I want to see what it looks like that headwear with my hand-held hairstyle." "You can do it?"There was a little joy in Mrs. Ruskin's astonished look,"Do you need any tools? I'll let people deliver them." "No need.Although this hairstyle is complicated to pull up, it needs hands to wrap.It's enough to use the two hair clips I carry with me." Mrs. Ruskin had just been reminded that she wore jewelry wrongly, she was somewhat embarrassed.Jocelyn could help her recover her face at this moment. Of course, she was very happy. As long as she would sit down and let Jocelyn make her hair, Jocelyn would be able to cater to her preferences so that she could make herself get acquainted with her in the ten minutes of making her hair. She had already known the character and temper of Mrs. Ruskin very thoroughly. "Madam just said that someone told you a week ahead of time that this charity auction has this headwear?But this is final lot,shouldn't it be unpublished?" Mrs. Ruskin was a straightforward person who says straightforward words,she said directly. "Someone inside the organizer came to my house to tell me,she is called Monica Tours.I heard that she is the newly married wife of the now executive general manager of the Leonard Group,she's also a designer.If this headwear is not very beautiful, no one would have wasted time at such a small auction." Jocelyn showed a look of surprise. "Really? She's a designer, how could she not have known that this one was headwear?The use of jewelry accessories,isn't it a compulsory course for designers?" Mrs. Ruskin frowned and suddenly became silent. Jocelyn did not know what she was thinking, and her face looked bad gradually. "This couple had asked me to help them introduce the business. I refused a few times, they still came to my house eagerly to find me. I still thought that they were very persistent,but it turns out to mean this." Jocelyn did not point out anything, but she just said a few words to make Mrs. Ruskin to think about the good things herself.Stan Judd and Monica Tours would not have the intention to offend Mrs. Ruskin,but in her eyes, they had already offended her. It’s really a harvest today. "Okay, madam, are you satisfied with it?" "So fast?" Mrs. Ruskin looked at herself in front of the mirror and did not hide the amazement in her eyes. "Really, it's much better to put it on my hair after combing than on my neck." "You have helped me so much, I have to thank you." Mrs. Ruskin looked at Jocelyn, her tone afforded much food for reflection. But Jocelyn's eyes were clear and outgoing,she smiled in a way neither humble nor pert. "Just lift a finger.Since there's nothing to do, I have to go. My mother-in-law is probably looking for me now." Seeing that she really wanted to go, Mrs. Ruskin was stunned and stopped her. "Wait a minute." A white card was handed to Jocelyn. "Here's my personal phone number. If you don't mind, I want to make a friend with you. When we are free, I'll treat you to tea after the auction so that thank you for your help today." The moment Jocelyn got her card, a stone hung in her heart really fell to the ground.
