NovelOnlineChapter 1384: She pulled a business card from her purse and handed it to the sales assistant.
Taking the card, the sales assistant said, "Feel free to browse through other clothes. If you'd like to know more about the material, I can bring you a sample. Just a heads-up-please avoid touching the clothes directly. Scustomers are very picky, and if—" "Oh, look at this." A voice suddenly echoed from the entrance.
Bailee spun around just in tto spot Amoura entering, a luxury handbag dangling off her wrist like a badge of superiority. "I haven't even crossed the threshold, and I already hear someone saying I am picky," Amoura announced, her voice sharp. “Tell me, is this how you should treat paying customers? I've spent good money here, and this is what I get? If basic respect is too much to ask here, why bother keeping this place open?" The volof her words seemed deliberate, pulling every gaze in the room toward her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEileen recognized the voice instantly. Stepping out from between the racks in the suit section, she saw Amoura standing there.
The sales assistant instinctively moved in front of Bailee, bowing her head as she apologized, "I'm so sorry, Mrs. Deleon. That's not what I meant at all. I was only saying scustomers are very particular and prefer their items untouched." “I might be old, but my hearing works just fine," Amoura said, her sharp gaze drifting past the sales assistant to rest on Bailee, her expression carrying a hint of recognition. "That woman touched my sportswear. I've already made it clear to your store-if anyone so much as lays a finger on it, they pay five times its value. Now, tell me— who's covering the bill? You or her?" "I can't afford that," the sales assistant stammered, her eyes welling with tears.
Your next story starts here: gvlWith each piece of clothing here priced around eighty thousand dollars, paying five times the value would be a lot for the sales assistant.
Realizing the situation, she quickly moved aside, no longer standing between Bailee and Amoura.
Amoura pointed at Bailee. "Then you can pay. But honestly, can someone like you even afford it?" Money wasn't an issue for Bailee. She had saved up a hefty sum from her years of work at the education institution. Besides, she also had Huey who could help her.
But the situation here was different. Amoura was just trying to make things difficult for her on purpose; there was no way she would just hand over the money.
"Mrs. Deleon, perhaps you could choose another one here? This lady is ready to purchase this sportswear," the sales assistant spoke up, seeing Bailee's silence.
Amoura's expression instantly turned cold the moment the sales assistant finished her sentence.
After observing the unfolding for a while, the store manager stepped in. She nudged the sales assistant aside with a sharp glare and flashed a polite smile at Amoura.
"Apologies, Mrs. Deleon. The assistant was out of line. I hope you'll excuse her-she may find the fivefold fee excessive, but the item is yours, and your word is final. Since you and the lady are both here, you two can discuss it directly. How about moving to our VIP lounge? We have refreshments prepared for you."
With those words, the store manager slyly distanced the store from any responsibility.
Bailee's brow furrowed. "I don't have anything to discuss with her. If she's upset because I touched it d'll buy it. But I'm not paying any penalty. There's no sign in this store saying customers can't touch the items, and I've never been in a shop where that's a rule."
