Male Celebrity (MC) and Chic Celebrity (CC) are both known for their fashionable taste and fine choices of wardrobe and accessories. Thus, the two hit it off during work. CC was impressed with the style of MC and one time, she noticed a piece of jewelry he was wearing on taping day.
CC asked MC about the jewelry and he said that he wanted to let go of the timepiece. He was willing to let go of the item at a discounted seven-figure amount even if he had bought the timepiece at a higher amount. CC said that she can easily sell the timepiece as she has connections overseas. Besides, CC knows that having MC as the previous owner can easily be a come-on for her target buyer abroad.
MC entrusted his timepiece to CC, who was then scheduled to travel. While overseas, CC updated MC that she found a buyer, but was a million short of their agreed price. MC wanted an additional half-million, which he intended to give to CC as commission. A subsequent message from CC said that the deal was sealed and payment would be done in a couple of days. CC had also turned over the timepiece and the box to the buyer. CC assured MC that the buyer is a trusted good friend.
A week later, MC received a call from CC, who was crying. Allegedly, her trusted good friend gave her the run-around and could no longer be contacted. Hence, the timepiece and the box were gone. MC advised CC to file a case and she said she had already done the said action. MC comforted CC and expressed optimism that the said timepiece would be returned. That was their last conversation.
Weeks passed and MC was focused on his work. CC arrived at the country quietly. MC was already feeling awkward at following up the matter with CC, as he gave the timepiece willingly. Thus, he kept quiet.
Later on, MC and CC were invited to a high-end party. MC saw CC, who merely smiled at him and did not bother to approach. MC continued to socialize and was introduced to a businesswoman. MC kept his composure as he recognized the timepiece she was wearing – the same one CC volunteered to sell for him. Unknown to MC, CC saw him talking to the businesswoman and that was her cue to slip out of the party without any fuss.
