Chapter 5 - Sapphires and rubies

She went to the coffee shop at exactly lunch time and she saw the saleslady already waiting for her.

Apple: I'm so sorry to keep you waiting Chloe... I lost track of time.

Chloe: It's alright Miss Apple... I'm not in a hurry to go home but what is that thing you want to discuss with me? I hope it's not a bad thing about my performance in my job.

Apple: Just call me Apps. No need to be so formal. I mean, we're almost the same age and we've known each other for quite a long time now.

Chloe: Almost 3 years to be exact since I started working at the boutique. Every one was talking about you especially when your boyfriend had the entire shop closed for 4 hours because you were going to do some serious shopping. You are one of our most popular customers.

Apple: Boyfriend? You mean ex boyfriend. We're no longer together but I do remember that time when he did surprised me by closing the entire shop for our 1st year anniversary. We were together for almost 4 years before I caught in bed him with a bikini model.

Chloe: Oh gosh.. I'm sorry to hear about that...

Apple: It's okay. I moved on already. The reason I asked you to meet me is because I've been doing a lot of charity works these days. One of them is this thing in the province where I empower stay at home poor women to feel good about themselves. I noticed that you have lots of free samples and testers on the store. Is it ok if I asked you to save some stuffs for me so I could send them to those poor women who can't afford cosmetic and beauty products? I mean, yes I can afford to buy all your products but I have to use my funds wisely because I'm also sponsoring some orphanages in remote areas.

Chloe: You have a very good heart Apps... Actually you are right. There are freebies especially when the product is new. It is also an open secret that we can use the testers such as lipstick and other makeups while we are at work to look presentable when we got no time to retouch our face. I think I can help you with your request. What particular products do you wish to receive?

Apple: Thank you so much... I knew I can count on you. But please don't tell anyone about this. I'm not the type of person who brags about the way I help the needy. I would be happy if you will give me the same face cream that I usually buy as well as the same shades of makeups because the last time I visited them, those women wanted the exact products that they saw on me. By the way, I just noticed your pretty earrings... I think you would look more stunning when you paired them with a nice necklace.

Before Chloe could say a word, Apple took a small box out of her bag and opened it. It was a gorgeous gold necklace with sapphires and rubies.

" Please accept my little gift for you. It was given to me by my ex and I only wore it twice. I thought it would look better on you because it matches the color of your eyes." Apple said.

" I also have pairs of stilettos that I only wore several times. They are still in perfect condition. I would be glad to send it over your place. Kindly write your address on my mini notebook." She added.

And with that, she secured her monthly supplies of freebies by giving away one of her many jewellery that she had never worn on her entire life because they found them cheap and tacky. And the truth is, it was also a freebie that she received one of the many shops that she used to go.

The stilettos that she mentioned were just random gifts from her previous parties and she didn't like them at all.
