Chapter 23 Who Can't Afford It
The salesgirl, who had planned to be aggressive, immediately showed a bright smile when she saw the man behind Claire. She put away her thunderbolt style and said with a smile, "Mr. Henry, what a coincidence! Which floor do you want to go to today?"
The SC had a total of twelve floors. The first floor was the most basic designer, and the second floor was slightly better than the first floor. And so on. As for the designers of the twelfth floor, no one had ever seen them in person, but it was said that the twelfth floor was the boss, which was the residence of the master behind them.
But no one had seen it with their own eyes. Even Henry could only enter the tenth floor at most. It was almost unknown about the above floors.
Claire turned around subconsciously and felt a lump in her throat when she saw Henry's familiar face. It was undeniable that the first person Claire thought of when she encountered that kind of awkward situation just now was Henry. And when she was in the most difficult and helpless situation, Henry came out first.
Such a seemingly ordinary behavior somehow pointed out the fragility of Claire's heart. Sometimes, although Henry was a little domineering, somehow her heart was gradually moved to him.
Henry didn't notice the change on Claire's face. He just took her wrist and moved Claire behind him. Then he glanced at the sales clerk coldly and said, "You mean that my woman can't afford this piece of broken dress, right?"
In other people's eyes, this might be a valuable mink fur, but not for Henry. He didn't care such things at all. At first, he thought that Claire would go upstairs, but he didn't expect that something would happen on the first floor. If he had hung up the phone a little later, wouldn't Claire be in trouble here?
Obviously, the sales clerk didn't expect that Claire had such a powerful background. Her smile froze on her face in an instant. She smiled awkwardly, and then waved her hand to explain, "Mr... Mr. Henry, do you mean that this woman... Is she your woman? Oh, my God! That's really a big misunderstanding. I was just kidding with this lady. How could Mr. Henry's people not afford it? "
However, the aggressive attitude of the sales clerk just now was clearly seen by Henry. If he didn't help to vent her anger, it would be bad for Claire. Moreover, Claire seemed to be really scared just now, and her face was still a little pale. Seeing this, the man on the second floor smiled more and more happily.
Henry nodded, not fully understanding what she meant. And then went on, "Well, then who couldn't afford it?"
In fact, just one word from him is enough to make this low-stage designer directly lose her job in SC. However, he didn't rush to do so. It seems that he intends to teach Claire some lessons.
In the process, Claire didn't defend for others as usual, trying to speak for them. She just stood quietly aside. She was lost in thought, thinking about what Bonnie and Henry had told her before.
There are some truths. No matter how much you know on the surface, it's still not faster than a personal lesson to make people understand them. Obviously, this was the case with Claire. She didn't speak rashly, because she was thinking about whether she had done something wrong before.
While thinking, Claire squatted down and picked up the long dress that had just fallen on the floor. After checking it carefully inside and outside, she was surprised to find that there was no so-called stains on it at all. It was all made up by the sales clerk just now!
If it weren't for the appearance of Henry, she would have owed a lot of money for no reason! Just thinking of the number, Claire suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Seeing that her little trick was exposed, the sales clerk fell to her knees with a flop. She grabbed the trouser of Henry and begged for mercy, "Mr... Mr. Henry, I'm sorry. Please give me one more chance. I have no choice. I just want a promotion and a pay rise! Miss, please don't drive me away. I really know I was wrong! "
As she spoke, the sales clerk looked at Claire pitifully. She could see that this woman was soft hearted and cowardly. And from the very beginning, Henry had always wanted to avenge her. If this woman interceded for her, she might have a chance to turn the tables! While thinking, the sales clerk directly held the thigh of Claire and begged.
Claire had never been begged like this before. At that moment, she was at a loss what to do. She hurriedly stepped back and resisted, "Don't do this... Stay away from me. "
But if she continued to go outside, it would be the stairs. Claire lost her balance and fell down! The scream swept across the sky, and finally the picture was fixed on Henry.
He quickly stretched out his hands, and then firmly blocked the boneless waist of Claire, which barely avoided a tragedy. There was no doubt that the sales clerk was to blame!
Just when Henry was about to punish her, the man who had been watching on the second floor finally stopped him. "Henry, today's business is very good. Don't break it. Keep your anger for a while. If you have anything to say, go upstairs to the second floor and have a good talk. I see that your woman doesn't seem to be very comfortable. It's not good to delay it. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Claire, with a playful look on his face. Hearing the man's voice, the sales clerk breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully in her heart. Although it was far from enough, it at least solved her pressing problem.
Hearing that, Henry's anger gradually subsided. Then he stared at the sales clerk and replied, "I see. Today I want women's clothes. Try to avoid too complicated clothes. Just relax."
He let go of the sales clerk for the time being, but it didn't mean that she could be safe like this! There must be a result of this matter.
With the help of Henry, Claire was led to the second floor. Although there were many styles of clothes on the second floor, they were obviously much more noble than the ones downstairs. Mink fur was just a small sample.
The man with orange hair lit a cigarette in his mouth and teased, "Why are you here today? I thought you would ask Molly to come here alone, but you've changed a new person. The rumors are true. "
As he spoke, he looked up and down at Claire. This woman's figure was obviously not as good as that of Molly. Molly could be said to be a clothes stand. Any clothes placed on her body would basically show the effect they wanted. This woman was too thin. If the clothes were too luxurious, she couldn't hold on.
Instead of answering the man's question, Henry took the initiative to come up with a new topic. "Luke, I'm in a hurry today. You'd better hurry up. Someone must be waiting upstairs. Don't put foundation on her. Just pick something simple."
From the very beginning till now, Henry had been asking for a simple style, which made Luke feel a little funny. It was already very rare for Henry to take the initiative to come to SC with a woman. Now he even asked for the type of dressing, which made him stunned.
Luke looked at Claire closely and shook his head. "Your woman is too thin. The luxurious clothes don't fit her, but... Are you sure she doesn't need foundation? Her face is pale, as if she just climbed out of the ground. "
Although her hair was dark and thick, it was very rough. It could be seen that she didn't take much care of it. She could have a simple makeup, but it would took a lot of time to tidy her hair up.
After touching the tip of his nose, Henry sat on the sofa and said, "No, thanks. Just do as I said. I'll only give you half an hour. I'll come to pick her up in half an hour. Try not to be too... Exposed. "
He couldn't accept the fact that Claire was watched closely at the banquet.
Facing the unknown, Claire was at a loss. She didn't even dare to move her feet, fearing that she might touch any clothes by accident, and then the other party would ask her to compensate. Luke seemed to have sensed something and burst into laughter. "Don't worry. If you have any clothes you like, just tell me. I will choose an evening dress for you according to your favorite style. As for the price, you don't have to think about it. I believe that Henry will pay it willingly."
While saying that, Luke cast a playful glance at Henry, who was standing aside, but didn't look at him at all.
Just as Luke was about to leave with Su Claire, Henry suddenly seemed to remember something. He took the initiative to look up at the direction of the two people and shouted, "By the way, there is no need to measure the measurements of the three sizes. 30, 20, 34. Remember where your hands shouldn't touch."
The simple sentence made Claire blush inexplicably. She stamped her feet anxiously and then shouted, "Henry, you bastard! Bastard! "
As she spoke, her face turned redder and redder, and it was at this time that Luke realized why Henry had been so stubborn just now, because he was the best blusher of Claire!
