Surprise for Sinthia PSL for Sist3r_sin
Feb. 19th, 2018 12:51 pmIllya had arranged everything. He'd gone to Sinthia's work, the Christie's auction house in Paris. Carefully avoiding her office and work area, he made his way to her supervisor's office. Once he told her department's supervisor, Pierre Amrouche, what he had in mind, he was more than happy to be a co-conspirator in this scheme.
Pierre showed him where he could wait and not be seen as Sinthia examined the 'artifact' that he had brought. After Illya had opened the box and set it's contents on the well lighted work table. It looked very much like a cobalt blue and white enamel Faberge egg box. Illya would not blame her if she thought it was a reproduction. It was a modern box after all. But the box was not what was important. It was just there to present the object inside. Which was indeed, Faberge, and antique. As soon as he'd seen the ring at the Faberge store, he'd known it would be Sinthia's. It was made of cobalt blue enameled gold and set with three exquisitely cut diamonds. A little elaborate for an engagement ring, Illya knew, but it brought back pleasant memories of their first date at the Metropolitan Museum's exhibit of Faberge eggs. He took up his position in an A/V closet across from the work room and Pierre went to her office to get her.
Amrouche knocked on the open door gently to get her attention. "Sinthia, I have a piece that needs your expertise. The owner wants it appraised right away."
