Tanaga was beside Ashley and quickly motioned not to tell her the truth. It was fortunate that the salesperson was looking at Tanaga, and he understood the meaning. The salesperson immediately thought of what believable thing he could say.
"Ma'am, the total weight of diamond around is only one carat while the one in the center is only two carats. It just looks big since smaller pieces of diamond surround it," the salesperson explained to Ashley, and she believed it.
"Is that so? It's too shiny, and it doesn't look real because of its size… I would be too scared to wear it in public," said Ashley, as she raised her hand to examine the ring on her finger.
"Sir, would you like to try the matching wedding band to see how it looks with the two of you?" the salesperson asked while handing the ring to Tanaga.
