Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 582: Preparing a Birthday Surprise 1
She had just stepped down from Clement Luther’s car.
As soon as she saw her, she energetically waved her hands at her.
As if afraid that Selena Kensington wouldn’t notice her.
Selena walked over.
Watching as Clement Luther drove away, Selena’s lips twitched slightly, "My little ancestor, do you really not plan to get a driving license?"
After graduating high school, Selena got her driving license, but Vivian Sutton had been lazy about it, especially with Clement Luther around, so she never considered it.
Even after graduating from college, Vivian Sutton hasn’t taken her driving license test.
Vivian Sutton snorted lightly, "Oh, I’m just lazy, aren’t I?"
Selena glanced at her, directly exposing her, "Come on, you’re clearly afraid of driving."
Being exposed by Selena, Vivian Sutton didn’t get angry, instead, she became more righteous about it.
"Sigh, if I don’t get a driving license, doesn’t that lessen the chances of a car accident?"
"So I’m actually contributing to personal safety!"
Selena laughed, "Only you have such twisted logic."
"Ah, it’s rare that I go shopping, let’s not talk about these things!"
"Oh, right, it’s your birthday in a few days, but I’ll be joining the crew by then, won’t be able to celebrate with you, sorry sorry."
Vivian Sutton wrapped her arms around Selena’s arm, whispering cutely. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Ahem, if you get the championship, I’ll forgive you."
Selena coughed lightly and said.
Vivian Sutton’s eyes widened, "Oh no, I heard that among the registrants, there are quite a few who have already signed with talent agencies."
Selena looked at her indignantly, "Did you forget that you’ve already starred in a drama."
"So, you still lack confidence?"
Vivian Sutton was immediately beaming with joy, "Oh right, I totally forgot."
"Then I should be more confident!"
Afterwards, Vivian Sutton wrapped her arm around Selena’s as they entered the shopping paradise.
As soon as they walked into the shopping paradise, they were handed several flyers.
Vivian Sutton was looking at the contents of the flyers as she walked.
Luckily, Selena was pulling her along, or else Selena really feared she’d bump into people or pillars.
"By the way, I want to get a birthday gift for Sterling, what do you think I should buy?"
Selena recalled her dilemma from earlier this morning and asked Vivian Sutton.
"Hmm?"
Vivian Sutton lifted her head.
"A birthday gift, huh..."
Vivian Sutton murmured.
Then, as if she thought of something, she flipped through the flyers and pulled out an advertisement sheet.
"Look at this, the jewelry store on the fifth floor is having an event, you can customize a brooch."
Vivian Sutton pointed at the content on the advertisement flyer.
Selena took the flyer and studied it carefully.
"A brooch, huh..."
Selena remembered that Sterling Norwood only wore a brooch at important events.
And it was usually the Norwood Family’s crest brooch; besides that, Sterling Norwood’s suits had no additional embellishments.
"That’s a good idea, shall we take a look?"
Selena tilted her head and looked at Vivian Sutton.
"Let’s go!"
Vivian Sutton responded, and then the two headed to the fifth floor.

The jewelry store having the event was an old establishment in the shopping paradise.
Many wealthy ladies and maidens liked to shop for jewelry here.
This time, the custom brooch event was held to celebrate the store’s anniversary.
As they walked in, a dedicated counter staff approached them.
"Welcome, ladies. Is there anything you’d like to see?"
Vivian Sutton pointed to the event poster in the shop, "Could you tell us about the custom brooch event you’re having?"
The counter lady smiled, "Of course, please, ladies, come this way."
Afterward, the counter lady led Selena and Vivian Sutton to a nearby resting area.
Once they were seated, the counter lady brought over several thick booklets.
Though seemingly heavy, there weren’t many pages inside.
"These are the supported designs for custom brooches, and you get to choose the gems and jewelry for them yourselves."
"How long would these brooches take to be prepared?"
Vivian Sutton asked.
The counter lady smiled and replied, "About an hour or so."
"Got it, we’ll take a look."
Selena said to the counter lady.
"Alright, just call me if you need anything."
After saying this, the counter lady left, giving space for the two.
Once the counter lady was gone, Vivian Sutton picked up a booklet and started flipping through it.
"These brooch designs are really nice, I’m even tempted to get one for Clement..."
Selena glanced at Vivian Sutton, "Why not act on that impulse?"
"Hehe!"
"Selie really gets me!"
Vivian Sutton chuckled and then started choosing for Clement Luther as well.
Selena also began to choose for Sterling Norwood.
The two of them only finalized their brooch designs after flipping through the counter lady’s booklets.
After that, Selena called over the same counter lady.
"Have you ladies made your choice?"
Selena nodded.
After confirming the designs Selena and Vivian Sutton wanted, the counter lady led them to choose the gemstones needed for the brooches.
"The selected designs can use any of the gems from this section. "
"This gem is from last month’s Stephanie collection; its color and purity are both perfect..."
"And this one is this year’s hot item; its colors aren’t exactly striking, but it looks elegant and understated."
"..."
The counter lady continued introducing several gems.
Vivian Sutton and Selena followed along and examined each one.
"Selie, they’re all so beautiful..."
Vivian Sutton gazed at the dazzling gems with bright eyes.
Selena glanced at her, "Choose wisely, don’t just think everything is good."
Vivian Sutton has always had selection anxiety, usually opting to take everything in such situations.
But the jewelry in this store wasn’t ordinary.
Having just graduated, Vivian Sutton probably didn’t have much personal funds yet.
Vivian Sutton withdrew her gaze and pursed her lips, "Yes, yes, yes."
Then she started choosing seriously.
The counter lady stepped aside, leaving the two to their selections.
After a while, Vivian Sutton called the counter lady over to ask questions.
Selena gave her a look, then resumed the search for gems for her brooch.
As she walked, she focused on the jewelry in the display case.
But she found none that moved her.
She shook her head slightly, intending to turn to another section when she noticed a corner of the adjacent counter where a fiery red gem lay quietly.
Selena seemed drawn to it and hurried over.
The gem appeared untouched by polishing, just placed there in the display case.
Under the lights, Selena could see the fiery gem shimmering with brilliance.
But it wasn’t the kind of intensely vibrant red; it held a subtler, introverted quality in its hue.
Passionate, brilliant fiery red.
