Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts 2024 の小説・ストーリー

It would have been a disaster if I’d joined them for their annual ritual without any gifts of my own to present. Muna gets her gifts first, and she squeals at the entire collection of Disney Princess dolls from her father, a building block set from her grandmother, a light-up activity board from her Aunty Paris, a Bianca City Life dollhouse from her Uncle Kennedy, and the most beautiful two-piece Burberry knit dress and cardigan set from her Uncle Reagan. By the time her little hands touch my own gift, I pray she isn’t disappointed, and I regret her not opening it before the other wonderful gifts she’s gotten. But she is excited by the musical storybooks, throwing her arms around me as she t

I commented. However, I looked down at my outfit, and I was pretty much not dressed for the occasion. I was wearing a pantsuit—which I wore for a job interview. But then I realized I was going there to work. Why the heck was I thinking about dressing up now? I blew out a sharp breath. “Is something wrong?” he asked. “Nothing, sir.” A couple of minutes later, we finally stopped in front of a Neiman Marcus. A luxury department store that retails top brands such as Christian Louboutin, Fendi, Gucci, and Armani, and of course, Stark’s finest apparel.

I need to feel new, look new. “I think it’s an ability,” I continue softly, my fingers ghosting over another bundle. “But I didn’t have it before… not until Adrian.” Silence stretches for a moment before Neema hums, lining her cart with a few more items—Essenza Gold Repair Cream, Noir Bloom Lip Veil, and a Glass Drop Hydrating Mist. “Sounds like a mate-bond trigger,” she says casually. Just as we rounded the last aisle, heading toward checkout,fate decided to have a laugh.

To be sitting next to Dante while he laid out a future I actually wanted to see. Mrs. Hartley and Jensen disappeared to tally votes. The wait felt endless. People started shifting in their seats, complaining about being tired, needing to leave. That was when Marcus made his move. He stood, all smiles and soft-spoken then launched into a speech about family. About how Meadowbrook had shaped him, how much he owed these people, how honored he'd be to give back. Then he started handing out gifts. Personalized leather journals. Custom embroidered blankets. Gift baskets filled with local products that probably cost a fortune to source.

I wonder how many glasses of champagne I will need to calm these roaring jitters! With the birthday candles extinguished and Ryan fanning the smoke making snide comments about calling the fire department, I pop the cork of another bottle of bubbly and refill everyone's glasses. Filling mine to the rim, then taking another sip, I opt to forgo the cake too as I'm enjoying the buzz too much to eat. Marcus opens his cards from Ryan and Amelia, then I guide him to his home office for my official and more tangible gift to him. With our guests following, I flip on the light, and sitting in the middle of the room is a new set of golf clubs in a brand new white leather bag with dark blue piping.

asked Adrienne looking at her son while pouring another glass. She removed the lollipop from his mouth and gave the drink to his son. The kid excitedly took the glass and with assistance from Marcus drank from it. “Nimue hasn’t come yet. Is she still busy at the shop?” asked Adrienne. “She’ll be here in a while, Adrienne.” Marcus said while helping himself to one of the apples. “She’s quite excited about Rune’s birthday. So, I don’t know what that woman is doing for him. She mentioned about giving him a very special gift later.”

" Just than Augustus walked into the living room looking at the tense situation he asked without thinking. "What's happening?" "Daddy. Simon is not taking my gift look..." Maria said as she rushed to him. "What gift?" Augustus asked as he held her up in his arms. "This Daddy..." Augustus saw the thing in her hand and frowned. Maria was holding a pink beads necklace with 6 purple beads in between and there was a small pink colored unicorn charm in it with a white color ballet girl figure. Augustus asked in confusion. "This is the necklace you want Simon to wear as a gift for the New Year?"

The servant informed me that it was a gift from the Prince, and that he had sent one for each of the competitors. I thanked the servant and eagerly opened the gift. Inside, I found a beautiful silk scarf in shades of purple and green, which matched the colors of the competition. It was intricately embroidered with delicate patterns and had fringed edges. I was amazed by the quality and beauty of the gift, and I felt grateful to the Prince for his generosity.

’ he thought. They left the dressing room and went to their bedroom. Marianne opens her drawer and takes out something. She gives it to Francois and then says “Merry Christmas. I hope you like it.” Francois opens it. It is a watch. The latest design of one of the top brands that is not even out yet. Marianne had asked advice from Leonna and Annie. Both had recommended the watch.

With that, he instructed his assistant to retrieve the gift hampers from the boot of the car. That was when Nina finally took a good look at the hampers—they were filled with toys, nutritional supplements, and even gemstones and calligraphy paintings, which looked as though they were treasures from an auction. Nina wanted to tell him that he shouldn’t have gone to such an expense, when Marcus started greeting Diana and her children. They looked very pleased with Marcus, and were even more excited to see him than Nina. That was especially so with Betty. Her bright eyes barely blinked as she stared at Marcus. “Godfather?”
