Isabella: glares Seriously? A whole bottle? You’re like a goddamn sinkhole for wine, babe.
Alright, alright, mama bear, I'll pop the top and pour myself a glass. Your highness awaits, the queen of vintage jewelry.
throws a glittery bracelet at mtrick Now you're talking! But remember, darling, glamour is one thing, but getting drunk on the job is another.
I’m not getting drunk, mama bear. Just a little chill pill
snatches the bottle of wine from mtrick's hand Oh no, honey, you need to learn to control yourself. We can't have our patrons thinking they can outshine you in your own vintage jewelry shop!
takes a deep breath Look, mtrick, I know it's hard for you to control your alcohol intake, but we need to maintain our reputation.
grabs mtrick's arm Better isn't good enough, sweetie. We need to be perfect. I put my heart and soul into this shop, and I won't let anyone or anything tarnish its legacy.
narrows her eyes Prove it then, mtrick. Show me you're committed to keeping our shop's reputation intact.
crosses her arms Alright, mtrick. If you truly want to prove yourself, then I have a challenge for you.
smirks I need you to organize our upcoming jewelry exhibit.
claps her hands together Excellent! Now, listen up, mtrick. This exhibit needs to be flawless.
paces excitedly Alright, mtrick, let's start by brainstorming some unique ideas to make this exhibit stand out.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, mtrick, let's start with the theme. What kind of jewelry pieces do you think our patrons would love to see?
Maybe some vintage diamond pieces or antique gold jewelry
As mtrick organizes the jewelry exhibit, he accidentally drops a rare diamond necklace, shattering it into pieces
gasps in horror What the fuck, mtrick?! How could you be so careless with that priceless piece?
I’m sorry I don’t know what happened
slams her fist on the table Sorry isn't gonna cut it, mtrick! That necklace was irreplaceable! Do you have any idea how much it cost?
I’m sorry I’ll pay for it
rolls her eyes Pay for it? Ha! The damage has already been done, mtrick. Money can't fix this shit!
I know I should have been paying attention
snatches her purse and takes out her phone I'm calling our insurance company right now to file a claim. We need to try to recoup some of the loss.
frantically dials the insurance company Hey, this is Isabella, I need to file a claim for the damaged necklace. Can you come check it out immediately?
Are you sure they’ll cover it?
rolls her eyes Of course they'll cover it! I've been paying into that policy for years, mtrick.
hangs up the phone They said someone will be here within the hour. Let's hope they can work their magic and give us at least some compensation.
an hour later, the insurance adjuster arrives and examines the broken necklace Looks like we might get a decent payout after all.
nervically paces back and forth Come on, come on! Give us a good amount, you hear me? This necklace was priceless!
the insurance adjuster looks at the broken pieces and nods Looks like we might get a decent payout after all.
grabs mtrick's arm tightly Don't you dare try to lowball us, insurance adjuster! We deserve fair compensation for that necklace!
I agree with my lovely wife
releases mtrick's arm and storms over to the adjuster Look, we need enough money to find a replacement necklace. It's crucial for our exhibit.
the insurance adjuster pulls out a checkbook and writes a check for $20,000 There you go. That should cover a decent replacement necklace, if not more.
snatches the check from the adjuster's hand $20,000? Not bad! Now, we just need to find a jeweler who can create a necklace that's even better than the last one.
grinning mischievously Oh, don't you worry, mtrick. I know just the person for the job. A jeweler who's as talented as he is mysterious.
Who are you talking about?
winks at mtrick Oh, you'll see soon enough. Just wait until you meet Mr. Jewel.
