Gold Experience 소설 & 이야기

" 'What she gave me?' I thought, annoyed. The watch she gave me was a cheap fake, rusted and gone for who knew how many years. This watch was from my wife, Rowena Smith, who knew I loved that collection. She designed it herself and had it custom-made half a year in advance, a one-of-a-kind in the world. I was at a loss for words. "Take a good look at these diamonds. You think you can afford any of them? "This is a gift from my wife, and it's got nothing to do with you." The diamonds sparkled with an unmistakable high-end shine. Then, Henry yanked the watch off my wrist, his sneer widening.

Don't bother me again. Tessa looked defiant as she took out a wrapped gift. It was an accessory from a luxury brand that was favored by men in the upper class. When I was young, I had once imagined that I would be able to own such jewelry in the future if I worked hard. In the past two days, two women had presented me with them. Tessa held the gift box and said seriously, "Ethan, let's get married. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you. Give me another chance."

“Don’t worry about anything, baby. I’ve got everything figured out.” And I did. This was easy. I’d already greased the palms of every security guy following my Rhodium. Bought and paid for. Loyalty always came with a price tag—and I paid well. Rhodium was smaller than gold, the bars more compact, easier to move even with large quantities. I had no doubt this was going to pay off. Tenfold. Silver and I had planned this for days. The people moving the crates were already on standby. After a while, Kaylee broke the silence. “Are you sure we’re on the right path?”

I had to struggle to suppress a laugh. The Silver Myst was an urban legend, a pure silver wolf who showed up when things looked at their worst. He first appeared near four years ago, shortly after the war began, and has, supposedly, been seen numerous times since. It was always out of the corner of someone’s eye, or seen by a friend of a friend. Chris and the others were too old to believe in fairy tales.

Nathan said. "What's in that deposit box? Why do they want to get it?" "I'm not sure, but I just heard. It gold bars still come from India. It's not just one piece, it's much it's worth fifty billion dollars worth of gold! Huge money, " He couldn't believe what she heard. Huge amount of gold. I just wondered why he wanted me to get Grandpa the real owner of it. "But why does he think I'm the key? And why does the fox take that from Grandpa when it's not his? " I asked in astonishment.

The earrings I was promised were a tenth of an ounce of gold, while Shirley's bracelet was a third of an ounce. I scoffed in anger and called Raymond. "Raymond, I passed by that jewelry store and saw that pair of earrings again. I really like them. Has gold gotten cheaper these days?" His impatient voice came through the phone. "No, it hasn't gotten cheaper! All you ever do is ask for things. I'll buy them for you in a couple of days, alright?" Before I could respond, the line went dead. I waited with a smirk on my face. "Calculating… 30,000 dollars for gold earrings has been credited."

It was strange. "I was honestly afraid of the answer," I admitted. "So what is it you're trying to get abuelo to sign over?" "Okay then," he rubbed the side of his face, "in less complicated terms I'm in the precious materials and gem industry." "Like gold and diamonds?" I asked. "Gold," yes he nodded, "rhodium," he cleared his throat. "Rhodium?" "It's the most expensive metal there is out there." "I thought that was platinum."

After saying that, Elaine quickly came back to her senses, and she blurted out, “The price of gold seems to be around four hundred dollars. So, this piece is only worth 400,000 dollars...” Charlie then took out another gold bar and stacked it on top of the previous one as he said, “It’s not like he only gave me one piece.” Elaine clapped her hands happily and said, “Oh! There’s more!” Charlie then took out another piece of gold bar, and Elaine grew even more excited. “Oh, my goodness! Three pieces!” Immediately after that... “Oh! Four pieces...” “Oh, my God! There’s more?! This is already the fifth piece, right?”

With how Lily has treated me, I would rather let someone else earn that money than let her scam a single cent of me. Lily was not the least bit flustered. Instead, she looked at me with a faint smile as she said, “All sales are final. Such is the unspoken rule in the industry. But given the unique liquidity of gold, we can offer you a buyback based on its value as scrap gold.” She tapped on the calculator again. “The current market price is $946 per gram. For the buyback, we deduct $100 per gram for loss. For 1,314g, it would be $1,111,644, which rounds up to $1,110,000.”

Luca’s voice, which was far from Xander, echoed in the background. “In the headline news today: Amanda Gold is taking the jewelry world by storm. In just a short time, the founder of GOLD by Amanda has skyrocketed to the top of the luxury jewelry industry. Her bold, elegant designs are dominating runways, red carpets, and high-end boutiques across the country.” “Fuck”…. Lucas couldn't even comprehend how, but before he knew it the television was already broken. And Xander grabbed his hair in frustration as he kept breathing hard and looking at what he just broke.
