Leah stared at the manager, unfazed, to Molly’s dismay. Leah curled her lip, “I don’t think Alain would

be happy to know what you’re doing now.”

They were in a Cadart couture boutique, and Alain Cadart was the founder of this luxury fashion house.

Everyone in high society knew it, so Molly was not surprised Leah knew about Alain.

The manager seemed taken aback. He raised an eyebrow, “With due respect, Mr. Alain Cadart has

retired, and I think he has nothing to do with this.”

Leah disagreed, “Yes, Alain has retired, and Stéphane has taken over the company as the CEO.

However, trust me, Stéphane won’t be pleased to know this as well.”

Her confidence made both Molly and the manager doubt themselves for a second. Molly brushed the

thought off. “Stop messing with us! Your petty lies are not going to work. Get out now, or I’ll get

someone to escort you out.”

Leah ignored Molly and continued, “The Stéphane I know would never approve of such service and

attitude from a Cadart boutique manager.”

The manager was stunned. He studied Leah’s face carefully, trying to recall if he had seen her

anywhere to no avail. She was gorgeous, but he was certain she was not one of the socialites, or he

would have seen her before.

Molly was equally surprised. She shook her head and jeered at Leah. “Who do you think you are?

Stéphane will never talk to someone like you. Do you think you are in the upper class now because you

are getting engaged with Ian? What a joke!”

Stéphane Cadart had high standards, and he was hard to please. Molly had previously wanted to

connect with him to get a limited edition gown, but she was rejected harshly. If Stéphane would not

even give Molly special treatment, why would he treat Sarah differently?

Hearing what Molly said, the manager felt relieved. He believed Leah was lying. She could not have

known Stéphane personally. He rarely saw the CEO himself. So he asked Leah politely, “Can you

prove to us you know our CEO personally?”

Leah did not answer. She made a call instead. Molly mocked her, “Are you calling Ian now?” Leah

ignored her and she began explaining what happened in the boutique to someone on the phone.

The manager could not hear the full conversation, but he grew more and more restless. When Leah

ended the call, he was breaking out in a cold sweat. Molly continued to look at Leah with disgust. “Liar!

You don’t have any proof, do you?”

The manager’s cell phone rang. Startled, he quickly picked up the call. He was dumbfounded when he

saw who was calling him. He glanced at Leah before answering.

“Mr. Cadart,” the manager spoke. It was Stéphane, the CEO he rarely saw, who called him. Stéphane

wasted no time giving the manager a piece of his mind.

The manager held his breath until Stéphane was finished. He apologized to Stéphane over the phone,

“I’m so sorry for this terrible misunderstanding. I will personally see to it Ms. White gets top-notch

service from Cadart.”

Stéphane ended the call abruptly. The manager glanced up at Leah once again. “Ms. White, I’m sorry

for what happened. I didn’t know you were Mr. Cadart’s friend. Please accept my most sincere

apologies.”

Molly couldn’t believe her eyes. The turn of events threw her off guard. Sarah was Stéphane’s friend.

How could it be true?

On the other hand, Leah remained calm. “Can I continue shopping here then?” The manager nodded

frantically. “Of course! To make it up to you, Mr. Cadart has ordered all your purchases today in Cadart

boutique to be complimentary.”

Leah declined the offer, “Thanks but I can pay for my dresses.” She continued to chat with the

manager, ignoring Molly. It made Molly’s stomach turn.

Outraged, Molly raised her voice, “So what if you know Stéphane? It’s all bullshit! I’m never shopping at

Cadart ever again.” She stormed out of the boutique without even taking her gown.

Ian returned shortly after with a concerned look. Leah had selected a gown, and she was getting

measurements for it. She noticed his frown, “Has anything happened at work?”

“It’s nothing, don’t worry,” Ian shook his head, trying to conceal his real emotions. To stop Leah from

pressing on the matters, he quickly asked, “Have you found anything you like?”

Leah nodded. “Yes, I have. Would you like to see it now?” Ian forced a smile, “It’s okay. I’d love

anything you like. I’ll head over to pay for it now.”

When Ian was about to pay, the manager stopped him, “Don’t worry about it, Mr. Cadart has ordered

for Ms. White’s dress to be complimentary.”

“Complimentary? Why?” Ian was surprised. The manager swiftly answered, “Mr. Cadart had only

announced it a moment ago.” He did not mention Molly as he did not want to upset her either.

Ian was taken aback. He did not know Mr. Cadart and Leah knew each other. Leah had never

mentioned it to him. Leah walked over and interrupted his train of thought, “Let’s go now.”

She hesitated for a second before holding his arm. Ian was pleasantly surprised by the affectionate

gesture. He brushed off any doubts he had and he left the boutique with Leah, arm in arm.

They were so happy they did not notice someone was watching them.
