Chapter 310: Out of his depth
Andrew felt like his head was reeling. Andrew was so out of his depth that he didn’t even know where to start. He’d taken the phone from Amir’s grandmother and had gotten to work matching the numbers on the phone with the uncut stone that was before him. Over time he had begun to see that there were several different styles, different types.
But Andrew didn’t know what that meant, or how they would match Maxwell. Andrew had thought it was just as simple as getting a diamond ring, but this process was telling him that he was so damn wrong.
At one point, each stone began to look the same to him, and both Amir and his grandmother could tell that he was reaching his limit. They took pity on him and Amir’s grandmother closed the book that Andrew was looking at.
Andrew glanced up, his eyes wide as Amir took the phone from his hands.
"I thought that even though you said you had no experience that you would have something, but it appears I was wrong. Well, no matter, I’m glad I made that appointment then." Amir’s grandmother said with a sigh. "Amir, help me pack this up and call your grandfather. He’ll send someone to come pick this up." He said and Amir did as he was ordered.
Andrew got up and got everyone another round of drinks while they waited. He had wanted to buy their initial drinks but he had gotten here late so this was the best he could do for now.
It was only a few minutes later that a few men showed up to take away the binders full of previous gems. Then, Amir and his grandmother got their coats on and Andrew offered to drive everyone to their destination.
They accepted graciously, and Andrew got to regale them with stories about how Andrew used to act as Maxwell’s driver. Amir seemed surprised by the stories as he sat in the back seat, leaning back with a hand on his stomach. He was laughing along with a few of the stories that Andrew told, while Amir’s grandmother sat in the front seat, nodding along and giving Andrew directions.
Andrew wasn’t surprised that they were going into downtown proper, but he was surprised when he was ordered to park nearby where the A & D Firm was actually located. Andrew decided it was probably smart to just park there, and messaged Kim after he had parked if that was okay.
