After breakfast and giving Trisha a kiss goodbye, Yuki left the house with Tina, Mary, and Kieth (Tina's bodyguard). Their destination was the most expensive jeweler in the city. Yuki wanted to give Trisha the best of the best. "So, what is your plan for the proposal?" Tina asked.
"I was thinking I would take Trisha out to a fancy restaurant tonight. I plan to call the king after this and see if he can get me a reservation somewhere really nice. I already know I do not have the influence to do such a thing, so I can only ask my future father in law." Yuki knew her limits. Although she was rich, she had no connections really except the royal family. She did not know any of the big shot CEOs or anyone else she could ask for such things. She could have gone through Greg, but she was a little awkward asking him for anything after the slap she gave him.
But she also knew that Melgrave would be more than happy to help her with getting a reservation at a restaurant she would normally not be able to eat at. The store Yuki was going to was Everlasting Jewelers. It was a store that specialized in some of the rarest materials. The ride took almost an hour with all the sky traffic. The morning rush was pretty bad at this time of day. "We are here. Mary, help Yuki into her wheelchair."
"Yes, Madam." Mary quickly got the door open and set up the wheelchair. She then assisted Yuki from the car to her wheelchair.
"Mom, after this, we are buying you a new car. This one is rather old." Yuki felt like she should get a more updated vehicle for her mother. One that she could drive around in style with.
"But I just got this one not long ago for cheap!" Tina frowned. She didn't like wasting money, and she did not mind the car she had. It may be old with a few dents, but it ran well.
"But you should still get something else. What if you want to go on a date with Keith or Anthony?" Yuki teased, causing Tina to blush.
"You little girl dare tease your mother!" Tina chided while trying to cover up her embarrassment.
"Hehe... " Yuki giggled as she rolled herself up next to Tina. But when she saw the place had nothing but stairs, she frowned. "A place without wheelchair access?"
"One second, Master. I will politely ask them to do something about it." Mary said as she walked forward and entered the jeweler. Seconds later, an older man and a young woman came stumbling out with Mary calmly following behind them. "Master, due to their inability to make sure their company can be convenient to everyone, even those with disabilities, they have come to help carry you, along with the wheelchair, up the stairs."
The older man had sweat dripping off his forehead and a red mark on his face the shape of a handprint. Yuki decided not to ask how Mary 'convinced' them to help her into the store. The older man and the young woman both helped lift Yuki's wheelchair with her in it under Mary's supervision up the stairs and into the store.
With the best smile she could muster, the young woman, who kept darting her eyes back and forth between Yuki and Mary until they finally stayed on Yuki. "How can I help you?"
"I need an engagement ring. Price is not an issue, so please show me what you have." Yuki hoped to find something that would bring a smile to Trisha's lips and something that was rarely seen.
"And engagement ring hm? Congratulations on your engagement. If money is not an issue, how about one of our rosewood bands?" The woman asked.
Yuki's eyes lit up. "Rosewood!" In this day and age, there were certain types of wood that were very rare, and that's natural wood. Not the fake stuff that made up her furniture at home but real wood that was mainly used for things like jewelry nowadays since it was hard to come by.
"Mhm! We have a nice dark rosewood band with silver edging and serendibite embedded in the sides." The woman replied with a smile. "The price is a few million crowns."
"Let me see the design." Yuki's eyes opened wide in expectation. She did not care for the price, not when it was a ring she was going to use to propose to the girl she loved.
The young woman nodded and hurried along to grab the ring. Because of its rarity, two bodyguards followed her back and stood by the exits. When she saw Yuki looking at the two men, she bowed her head in apology. "Miss, I do apologize for the inconvenience, but it is policy to have guards by the doors when looking at our rarest items."
"That's fine." Yuki replied with a smile. She knew some places had their own policies. Mary, on the other hand, snorted as she looked at the two men who still had two red handprints on both sides of their faces. The guards even jumped a little when they heard Mary snort.
The young woman quickly presented a box to Yuki that had a pair of matching rings in them. "This here is the prize of our shop. The set cost eighty seven million crowns."
"Mom, look! They are beautiful!" Yuki instantly fell in love. The rings were exactly as the young woman described. Just thinking of putting one on Trisha's finger made Yuki giddy.
"They are very pretty. Should we get them engraved? I think putting a message on the inside of the band will make Trisha cherish it even more." Tina suggested.
"Mmm! Let's do that! But what should I put? Wait, do they do engravings?" Yuki looked up at the young woman expectantly. She really hoped she would say yes.
The woman smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, we can do any engraving you wish on the spot. You will not even need to wait more than thirty minutes to have it done."
There was no way the young woman was going to make someone who could buy their most expensive piece wait for anything. She didn't care if she had to yank that old man out of a grave to please this young lady. She made note to make sure she got management put a ramp in because not every rich person seemed to care for cybernetics!
