Just like many females, He He hated snakes and wanted nothing more than to get as far as physically possible from them. Her best friend was full of nothing but hatred for them too. If she were to ever gift them a pendant that had a carving of a snake on it, their friendship would be as good as over.

But all of the Cleopatra merchandise that they sold had cobras. They might be slightly different in style and pattern, but they were all full of life. There was no way that He He would be buying these, unless she was looking for a good dressing-down.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

She could only buy Nefertari and Nefertiti's pendants then. The two of them didn't have snakes on their portraits, but they definitely were way too unknown in China…

”Isn't there a Cleopatra pendant without snakes?” she asked timidly.

”The cobra represents ultimate power in Ancient Egypt. This is the greatest difference between Cleopatra and our other two beauties,” Lazart explained. ”I regret to say so, but all of our Cleopatra pendants have snakes. If you insist on having one without snakes, you can custom-order one.”

”Oh, you accept custom orders?” He He perked up. ”It must be…expensive to have one custom made, right?”

Lazart's quote was less than a thousand RMB, and it was a lot cleaper than her expectations. Besides, if she ordered more than one piece, it could be even cheaper.

He He silently calculated. Even friends were separated by how close they were to her. There were only two or three closest to her heart, and with her added into the mix, she eventually requested four snake-less Cleopatra pendants.

Other than importing their goods from other sources, Lazart's store also fulfilled their customers' customization requests in-house. He and his son, Chris, were in charge and responsible for that, and they had made it a family business.

They had a work shop connected to the back of the shop so that the clients could even watch their own customized product getting made.

The charcoal burned a vibrant red as its flames licked at the gold, and the iron hammer clanked periodically, sparks flying everywhere. The golden liquid was poured into the mold, and the final touches and carving would come after the gold cooled down. At completion, it would be an exquisite handmade pendant, made from a process not any different from thousands of years ago.

That certainly piqued an interest in the youngsters' hearts, beckoning them to try and witness the process with their own eyes and their own cameras. But Lazart had no intention to start work now, and it would be rude to demand the other to change his schedule.

Just as Zhang Zian was contemplating the desert, he felt something hit his leg.

He looked up and brought his line of vision right into Fina's, a sugar cube missing a corner by its claw.

The sugar cube came from a small plate on the table, provided for the guests should they want to have more sugar in their already-really-sweet coffee.

Fina seemed to have carved the corner out using her claw and flicked it at Zhang Zian, clearly signaling to him, ”Make a move while you can. Do you still need me to remind you of such a thing?”

Zhang Zian sighed, picking up the Cleopatra pendant to purchase it. Right then, another sugar piece hit him, stopping his actions.

Turning around, he found Fina's fiery eyes glaring holes at him. What? Didn't it want this?
