Tux and Spell

Turkish Delight

Jacob parked his car in an elite building parking lot. He opened the door for Margy and waited for her to come out. They walked hand in hand towards the main entrance of the building.

"You didn't ask, why are we here?" Jacob asked imitating Margy's high voice.

"Haha... I don't sound like a duck being squashed like just now. You take me to a diamond shop, that means you want to buy me diamonds. Or you? You don't secretly like to wear diamond necklaces, rings, and bracelets, right? I canceled marry you... If you turn out to be like that!"

"My lady knows... How to tame me. Why are you so smart now, Babe!"

"I don't know. Maybe because my future husband is a famous lawyer." Margy answered walking without turning to look at Jacob. Her face was straight ahead.

"And handsome, sexy..." added Jacob grinning.

"Yep. Especially when you're not wearing clothes... You look... Ravishing!" Margy replied expressionlessly.

"You're getting smarter at torturing me! You're teasing me on purpose and know I can't touch you!"

"Smartass!"

The two of them entered into an elegant room that shouted expensively. Rows of several storefronts with hundreds of jewels encrusted with diamonds in them. There were about ten employees who wore black uniforms and looked formal.

"May I help you, sir?" asked one of the male crew members with smooth hair and a charming smile. The man is one of the supervisors at this outlet, there is a pin-bearing executive supervisor on the collar of his blazer.

"Yes. I want to find jewelry with diamonds, a set. For my future wife!"

"Please sit down here!" Said the supervisor inviting them into the room inside. A special VIP room. The supervisor knew his guest was a special person.

They sat on a sofa, in front of which was a large table. Two minutes later, the supervisor along with his co-workers brought some black boxes.

The sleek supervisor lined up several boxes in front of Margy and Jacob. They, their supervisor, and colleagues opened the lid of each box and showed the contents inside. There were a total of 10 boxes which he opened the lid and another 20 he kept on the side table to the left of his sofa.

"This is the latest collection containing a set of diamond-studded jewelry of varying carats, this one from a leading jewelry designer from Italy and this one from France and some from several diamond designers around the world." The supervisor introduced one by one the boxes containing a set of jewels encrusted with diamonds of various colors and sizes, most of which contained a necklace, bracelet, earrings, ring, and a brooch.

Jacob sat closer, he looked at each jewelry box in front of him.

"I think my wife-to-be would prefer something a little more simple. I like the rustic theme. Do you have any?" Jacob asked the supervisor.

The man in front of him nodded and took out 2 boxes from beside him, he showed a piece of simple jewelry set with diamonds cut in such a way that it looks very beautiful and antique.

Margy shook her head, "no-no! I don't like this one, it's too old, I'll look like a human from the eighties."

"Ah... We have a special diamond, pink. Still rustic... And very sweet." The supervisor took a pink ribbon box from beside him and opened it.

Inside the box was jewelry set containing a white necklace, bracelet, earrings, and brooch and studded with pink diamonds.

"Isn't it very sweet?" asked the supervisor looking in awe at the diamond in front of him. Either he really liked the diamond, or he was just acting to sell the set.

Margy shook her head, "I've never liked pink. I don't like cute looks."

"Then what's your taste?" Jacob said still trying to be patient with Margy's behavior which seemed to have annoyed him.

"Please give me a jewelry set with the biggest, biggest diamond you have!" Margy asked, smiling sweetly at Jacob.

Hearing Margy's words, Jacob was shocked and turned to the woman beside him. He thought to himself, has the woman he has chosen gone mad?

Margy returned Jacob's strange look with her sweet smile. The supervisor stood up and walked back inside. He came back with a large black box and sat in front of the table. He opened the contents of the box after removing the other boxes.

"Miss, this is the largest diamond with a large carat of a most renowned African designer." He opened the box which contained 1 necklace, 1 ring, 1 brooch, and a tiara. "All studded with sparkling diamonds in enormous shapes."

"I want this one, Babe!" Margy said in her sweetest voice. She said it firmly, Jacob shook his head.

"Why, Babe? You're afraid you can't pay for it?" Margy teased with her sweet smile.

Jacob just thought, "You'll see! In the room, I'll pay you back for this!"

"Okay, I want this one how much does it cost?"

"Oh sure, of course, it costs 100 million US dollars!" The supervisor replied with the biggest smile Margy had ever seen.

"We'll buy it, won't we, dear?" Margy said stroking Jacob's shoulder gently.

Jacob just stared straight into the eyes of the supervisor in front of him, then he glanced at Margy with a sneer.

"Yes...Yes, I will buy it!" Jacob took out a black card, handed it to the supervisor, then he turned to Margy.

"Babe looks like you'll have to pay for it tonight!" threatened Jacob without a smile. He was serious about his request.

Margy forced a laugh, "oh... Why are you so funny. I'm getting excited!"

"Please wait a moment! We'll wrap it up and do the paperwork." Say goodbye to the supervisor. Some of his co-workers cleaned up the box that had been brought and brought it back inside. There was a female employee who brought two tall glasses of cocktails and a plate of chocolate and Turkish delight.

"Uw... I love this!" Screamed Margy took two slices of the sweet snack from Turkey. "I like this, the sweetness is different... I like it." Margy tried to ignore Jacob's sharp gaze.

"You will be my Turkish delight tonight. I will sprinkle you with powdered sugar and eat you!"

"Is that a threat?" Margy teased without a smile, she already looked worried.

"Nope. This is a promise! And I never break a promise!" Jacob continued.

Margy wiped the smile off her face, she was a little scared of Jacob's face right now. Had she gone too far to make Jacob look at her coldly like now? If one glance could kill, he would be buried two meters into the ground... Due to Jacob's stare.
