The next day, Diamond as usual woke up to her daily routine, which was to have a morning jog around the court.
And unlike the previous morning when she didn’t see anyone, she got lucky and managed to bump into a person she had not seen in a very long ti.
When she was having her second lap, she saw Kisha; the celebrity, getting out of her villa wearing her exercise gear.
Seeing the celebrity, she barely saw on television as she was so busy at tis that she couldn’t even watch dramas. She was amazed.
Kisha was a beautiful woman and one who probably knew how to take care of herself pretty well.
However, with technology nowadays, she wasn’t sure whether Kisha was still her original self or she had costic surgery.
The entertainnt industry was a tough one. And if a woman doesn’t take care of herself and upgrade, it wouldn’t be a shock if she were to be soon forgotten, as if she never existed.
However, a woman with a pretty face and skills to top it up would survive a bit longer unless she t an unformidable opponent who ant serious business.
And thinking about costic surgeries, Diamond couldn’t help but think of sothing. She had given Cecilia her creams before, but she had never given one to Kisha.
Since Kisha knew a lot of female celebrities, it wouldn’t hurt to give her a bottle and make her bring more people in the future to her.
"Good morning, Diamond!" Kisha greeted her the second she ca to the road.
Diamond slowed down as she flashed a smile at Kisha before responding, "Good morning to you too, Kisha. How have you been?"
"It’s been pretty hectic. I am glad that I can now finally rest!" Kisha tiredly responded as she caught up to Diamond.
Upon hearing that, Diamond felt a bit ashad.
So people were busy working their asses off to better their lives while she was busy going around everywhere, leaving all the work for other people.
But on second thoughts she corrected herself.
’I am the boss, aren’t I supposed to work how I want?’ she thought again.
"But it should be worth it, right?" Diamond curiously asked.
For celebrities like Kisha, when they were not shooting shows, dramas, series, or movies, they would be having photoshoots and sothing like that.
And all of that scread money. How could one just work extra hard without incentives?
Kisha, who was finally jogging alongside Diamond, answered, "Umm, this ti I did myself proud."
"That’s great to hear. As long as you see it’s worth, then nothing else matters."
The two went silent after that and ran half a lap in complete silence, and just when Diamond thought that it was going to remain that way, Kisha started a new topic.
"Oh, Diamond! I hope you don’t mind asking about this, but did you perhaps sell Cecilia sobody cream so ti ago?" Kisha asked as she turned her head to look at Diamond.
Diamond, who was busy scolding herself inwardly for acting cowardly once again and failing to raise the cream issue to Cecilia, suddenly stopped in her tracks, forcing Kisha, who was now a step ahead to stop as well.
"Did I ask sothing that I shouldn’t have asked?" Cecilia worriedly asked upon seeing Diamond’s actions.
When Diamond heard the last question, she nearly gave her face a strong slap, but she held it in as she quickly cald herself down before facing Kisha with the friendliest smile she could think of.
"No, no, it’s not like that. I just wasn’t expecting you to ask that," with a soft chuckle Diamond replied.
Kisha sighed with relief when she heard Diamond’s answer.
She thought that she had asked sothing confidential and that maybe Diamond didn’t want anyone to know.
With how Cecilia was like, it was also possible that Cecilia would spread news without the other person’s consent.
She had been hesitating to ask Diamond about that, but when she thought of the current predicant she was in, she was left with no choice but to ask. Even if that ant provoking the other.
So, when she heard Diamond answering her, she felt saved for her response didn’t an that she was denying what she had just said but was just taken by surprise since she wasn’t expecting to be asked that.
"That’s good then. I nearly thought that I overstepped my boundaries!" Kisha relievedly said.
Diamond waved her hands playfully while maintaining her friendly smile and said, "You didn’t. anyway, to answer your question, I indeed gave her so cream so ti ago."
Upon hearing that, Kisha looked at Diamond as if she had seen her savior, however knowing that her reaction might cause Diamond to misunderstand her, she forced herself to calm down.
After taking a few deep breaths, she asked once again. "Diamond, can you perhaps sell a few bottles? I can buy them at whatever price you are selling. I can even double the price. How many do you have?"
Diamond could hear the desperation in Kisha’s voice that she began to wonder just what trouble did Kisha’s skin got her into.
She couldn’t see anything at all, so Diamond was quite suspicious, but knowing what she wanted from Kisha, Diamond wasn’t going to pry but do her best to make Kisha her custor.
"I don’t have the cream at the mont. I am still waiting for the shipnt to arrive. However, it should be available by tomorrow night. And the cream is a bit expensive. I don’t know what materials the alchemist uses; I am just a tester and a middleman. But if you want it, I will keep a bottle for you," Diamond said without sha, simply spewing lies without batting an eye as she responded to Kisha.
When Kisha heard the first part, her heart sank, but when the second part arrived, her spirits beca uplifted once again.
If it wasn’t for her to see Diamond and ask her about the cream, she wouldn’t have co out so early in the morning to jog. But knowing Diamond, she was afraid that if she didn’t do that, she wouldn’t be able to see Diamond till night.
Who knew how many things could happen in a day?
"That’s okay with . How many bottles can you spare?" Kisha anxiously asked.
Seeing that Kisha had believed the lies, Diamond even felt prouder and ready to set a wonderful price.
If she were to sell the beauty creams at a cheaper price, all hell would break loose in the future. Since the bottles were limited already, she wasn’t daring to sell them cheaply, as that would force her to keep on producing sothing that she didn’t have.
However, if she were to price them at a crazy price, she was sure that only a few would be interested in buying. And the stock would last in the beginning since the custors wouldn’t be so sure about the product. But with ti, that would change, as they would do anything to get a bottle from her.
The most expensive face cream she had seen in her life in Atharian dollars was priced at A$50,000. That was simply too ridiculously high for a face cream. However, she was sure that her cream was much better than that one, but she wasn’t that bold to price a 200ml bottle for such an exorbitant price.
However, she found it very appropriate if she were to price it sowhere in the middle, and set a price that would make sense when compared with the effects the cream would bring to the user.
That was a problem she had been trying to solve ever since she decided to open a costic shop a few days ago.
So, in the end, she told Kisha, the final price without hesitation and boldly.
"The bottle costs A$5,000, and it is a 200ml one. Only five bottles are coming this ti, but I can manage to sell only two to you if you want, as the other three are already booked. Do you want them?" Diamond calmly inford the other.
Kisha was baffled at first when she heard the price, as she felt as if Diamond were pulling her leg. After all, who would sell such an expensive cream?
However, when she recalled how good Cecilia had been looking recently and how Diamond was so rich that she was living in Cherry Court at a young age, that thought vanished.
Why would a rich person even bother to con her?
Since the creams could work magic on a person, she was willing to spend so money. It was better to try it first and see what changes it would bring rather than to give up and regret it in the future.
So, without hesitation, she decided. "I will take the two bottles. Do you want cash or a transfer?" she asked.
Upon hearing that, Diamond inwardly was relieved. "Let’s do a transfer. I will send you the details when I return ho," Diamond answered.
"That’s good then. I will be waiting."
"Sure."
