Chapter 1168

Maisie came to Naomi’s office and knocked on the door. She saw Naomi rubbing her temple in front of a
pile of documents as if she had a massive headache when she walked in.

Naomi got up. “Ms. Vanderbilt?”

“You seem to be in trouble,” Maisie smiled.’ Ran out of inspiration?”

Naomi lowered her head and nodded. “I’m uninspired. The drafts that I’ve made are… not good enough.”

Maisie looked at the pile of paper in the trash and looked at her watch. “Do you wanna go take a walk
with me?”

Naomi was surprised.

Maisie took her to the old street at the

back. Old buildings surrounded them, and they all looked old yet elegant. It had an otherworldly feel.

The two of them stopped in front of an old jewelry shop called ‘Jewel Attic’. The store had a classic
interior. The jewelry wasn’t from any big brands and was mostly priced in the thousands.

Naomi looked at Maisie, confused. “Ms. Vanderbilt, what are we…”

Maisie smiled and put her arm on her shoulder. “I brought you here to get some inspiration. And while
we’re at it, I’d like to show you some antique creations.” They entered ‘Jewel Attic’. There were three
floors. The wooden floor was painted red and antique windows lined the walls. The chandelier was an
old layered design.



The display cabinets exhibited all kinds of vintage jewelry, and even the racks displayed delicately
carved jade, agate, and more.

Naomi looked at the pieces of jewelry in the cabinets, which were exquisite. Unlike the other common
jewelry, these had their very own uniqueness.

Maisie gave an introduction, “This store has been around for 70 years. It was here before Taylor Jewelry
was established. It’s a modest store, unlike the commercialized ones. The shop has been in the owner’s
family for three generations, and they have



always insisted on selling antique jewelry pieces.

“All of these were carved by the store’s founder, from the jade to porcelain and gems. Anything could
turn into an exquisite piece of jewelry in his hands.”

Naomi was in awe, but she noticed that it

was quiet since there weren’t any customers around. “People don’t usually stumble upon this place, do
they?”

“That’s true,” Maisie nodded with a smile,” But the Jewel Attic has an online store, and most of their
transactions are made online. They have a good reputation, but they’re not very famous.”

A man who walked out saw them and smiled. “Welcome. Have you seen something that you’re
interested in?”

Maisie walked to the counter. “Are you the owner?”



The man paused before replying with a smile, “The owner is my teacher. I’m his student. He’s not in
today. If you want to request a custom-made item from him, I can contact him.”

Maisie smiled. “It’s alright. We’re interested

in antique jewelry. Could you show us around if it’s not too much trouble?” The man immediately shook
his head and walked out from behind the counter. “No trouble at all. Let me show you around the store.”

Maisie smiled and said thanks.

After the man showed them the pieces at the front, he brought them upstairs.” There’s more up there.
The ones upstairs are all my teacher’s designs. He loves geography and mythical beasts.”

The display cabinets of the first floor were covered in all kinds of jade. Some were inlaid in gold or
platinum and were mostly carved or hollowed out.
