OMG!! this can’t be true, what really happen to it ? because I don’t want anything to happen to that diamond n£¢klace is very expensive and also is a special gift from my husband, so what happened to it? Anita asked sadly
Nothing much, just that the n£¢klace mistakely cut when I wanted to re-move it from my n£¢k, but don’t worry I will take it to where they will fix it “Sophia said
“No! no!! no!!! you don’t have to worry yourself, just bring it like that for me I will fix it myself “Anita said because she knew the kind of person Sophia is, she know that Sophia want to take the diamond n£¢klace, that was why she was bringing up story so that she can have it to herself.
