Astra continued perusing the catalog, ready to turn the page, when Elias gently placed his hand on hers, catching her attention. Her gaze followed his to a striking sword on the page.
After Elias withdrew his hand, Astra turned the page and was captivated by a splendid necklace. Elias inquired, "Do you fancy the necklace?"
Astra nodded in approval and replied, "Yes, I do. I intend to place a bid for it."
Violet, absorbed in her own page, eventually glanced at the necklace and remarked, "I'm not sure if you've noticed, but it's priced at two million."
Astra calmly acknowledged, "I did."
Curious, Violet asked, "You're considering purchasing a two-million-dollar necklace?"
Astra met Violet's gaze and confidently stated, "Indeed. Why not?"
Violet shared her perspective, saying, "That's a substantial sum to spend on a necklace. Perhaps it's because of our diverse upbringings, but I can't help but see it as extravagant."
