Lazily Yours.

"Miss, Mr. Aden told us that you would visit today!"

The man who welcomed her had the same features as the previous manager who welcomed her before. However, this one looked a bit taller and leaner. "What's your name?" Gabi asked as she wondered if this was the same person who entertained her before.

She recalled how nervous that man looked around her. This time, this man looked confident.

"Ah, forgive me for not introducing myself. I am called Sari."

"Sari? Just Sari?"

"Yes, Just Sari."

"You are not that manager, right?"

"Ah, that is my twin brother, Tureis."

"Your names…"

"We are not originally from Du Empire."

"I understand," Gabi smiled. She chose not to ask any more questions and just let the man guide her towards a private viewing room.

"You can choose all high-end pieces of jewelry here. We also offer the best teas inside and outside of Du Empire. The room is soundproof. We can assure the top quality security. In case someone happens, each room has its own fire exit that would lead you to an exit far away from this place. An expert jeweler will talk to you soon."

"Good." Gabi nodded. Indeed, the room in front of her looked luxurious and somehow relaxing. Its lighting isn't hurtful to the eyes, as well as the simple yet elegant muted, paneled walls.

"What tea would you prefer? May I suggest that you have our famous tea from Xu Country?" Sari smiled at her.

"Absolutely. Thank you very much."

She watched as the man named Sari signaled some maids to bring a service trolley with a complete tea set. The fragrant tea immediately wafted into the room. The service is indeed good. "Mr. Sari, a woman, will arrive in a few minutes. Please take her here."

"Understood. Is there anything else I can assist you with?"

"Nothing. Thank you."

"Well then, please accept this diamond card for our VVIP clients. This means that you will be invited to private parties that our company held every now and then."

"Thank you." Gabi smiled as she eyed the card. She heard about these parties before as Alfons wanted her to attend one of these in her past life. However, she didn't have this card. Meaning, she never received an invitation. Alfons told her that these parties were not only held in secret, but no one but the people who were invited knows its location.

These events were not just simple parties. Sometimes, it is actually an auction event where expensive paintings and other items are sold.

"However, I don't think I qualify for this card," Gabi said. She was smart enough to know that they were testing her. After all, her motives until now are still unclear. Archy must be trying to see if she just wanted to infiltrate his company to get close to him. Gabi understood that people like Archy would never trust anyone easily. "I don't remember buying any expensive jewelry or anything from the store. This treatment is enough for me. In the future, when I spend enough to qualify for the card, then I will gladly accept it."

"My…" Sari's eyes widened as he covered his mouth. "Are you aware that you are the first person who declined such an opportunity?"

Gabi snickered. For some reason, she could feel Sari's suspicions just from his reaction. The man was expecting her to accept the card. Then what's next? She originally approached this company for longer benefits. "The card is of no value to me, Mr. Sari. I know that you are aware how the daughter of the prime minister never attended events before." Her reasoning was valid. Everyone knew that she had a sickly body.

What would they think if she suddenly showed up at a party just after her father's death? Surely, they would suspect her real goal.

"That — " Sari's gray eyes met hers. "Unexpected but reasonable." He withdrew his hand and smiled at her. "I am looking forward to the day when Miss Sutton is ready to accept the card."

She only responded with a smile. She was not in a hurry to prove her worth to Archy. Gabi originally approached them for a partnership. Of course, she needed to let that man see that she wasn't just some pretty face who found some random secrets in her father's diary.

"Thank you," she accepted the tea that Sari poured for her. Judging from this man's treatment, Gabi was able to conclude two things. First, they must have already confirmed that there was indeed a fake in the Sealey family and second, they are wondering how her father knew this. In the public's eyes, the Sealey family isn't really that relevant.

So why would the prime minister know their secret?

It's either someone else told Gabi about it or her father knew some secrets that might also involve the royal family.

Right now, Gabi doesn't know what that secret was. However, she recalled Alfons looking into the Sealey Family and the Royal Family at the same time in the past life. He must have found out something about this family and that might be one of the reasons why he collaborated with them in destroying her Ren Family.

After a few minutes, Sari finally left her and her secretary alone.

"Mr. Lotterman, what do you think of this place?"

"Elegant and private."

"Hmmm." Gabi nodded. "Did Nonim send confirmation about that woman leaving the mansion?"

"Yes, she should be here in a few minutes."

"Good," Gabi said as she took another sip of her tea. "This tea is delicious. Please asked Mr. Sari about the name of the tea. I want to buy it."

"Understood," Kasper said before he bowed and left her alone inside the room.

Now that Sera was alone, she opened her bag and immediately turn on the interference device that should cut off any recording device or camera inside this room. Right now, she wasn't really sure if there is anything inside the room. But it is always better to be cautious.

As they say, prevention is better than cure.
