Chapter 20
Silvia frowned. “Didn’t you tell the customer that Devotion isn’t for sale?”
The dress was a birthday gift she had designed for Dulcie. She had been too busy lately, so she had no time to pick it up from the store.
“I’ve told her, but she’s Snow Walls, the daughter of the Walls Family. She insists on buying Devotion and says that she’s willing to pay ten times its price. I’m worried about offending the Walls Family, so I’m not sure how to handle this.”
After a brief pause, Silvia calmly gave her a solution. “Tell her that she can choose any other dress in the store, except Devotion. We’ll present it to her as a gift.”
“Understood. I’ll take care of it.”
After the call ended, Kimberly approached Ada and Snow. “Miss Walls, I’m sorry, but our boss refuses to sell Devotion. To express our sincere apologies, you’re welcome to choose any other dress in our store. We’ll be pleased to offer it to you as a gift,” she said apologetically.
A spark of interest lit up in Snow’s eyes. JM had uniquely designed dresses. Additionally, each dress typically costs at least a million dollars. She had taken a liking to several dresses before spotting Devotion.
She swept her gaze over the dresses she had previously set her eyes on. While they were also beautiful, they were not as stunning as Devotion.
She could already imagine how dazzling she would look if she wore Devotion at the party!
Snow fell silent for a moment and cast a displeased gaze at Kimberly. “If the staff displays a dress and
a customer likes it, it should be available for purchase. Otherwise, who would want to shop here if you declare that a dress isn’t for sale whenever someone shows interest in it?
“I agree that JM’s designs are beautiful, but there are still many other brands in Ryoln City!”
Kimberly detected Snow’s attempt to pressure her into selling the dress. However, she continued to smile even though she was getting more impatient.
“Miss Walls, this dress is truly not for sale. Please choose another one instead.”
Snow sneered and said, “And if I insist on buying this dress?”
Kimberly’s smile faded. “No matter what you say, it won’t change the fact that this dress is not for sale. Please take your time to select another dress and inform our staff of your choice. I have other matters to attend to. Excuse me.”
Kimberly then walked away.
Snow was infuriated. She glared at Kimberly’s back and shouted, “Stop right there, or else I’ll never set foot in your store again! I’ll also get all my friends to boycott JM! I mean what I say!”
Kimberly looked at Snow with a cold and serious expression. “Miss Walls, I’ve told you that this dress isn’t for sale. Our staff made a mistake by displaying it. I also told you that you could choose any other dress in the store and that we would offer it to you as a gift.
“Yet you have insisted on making a fuss and even threatened to boycott JM. We don’t like trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either.”
Snow’s expression immediately darkened. She wanted to retort, but Ada stopped her.
“Miss Haines, please don’t take it to heart. Snow got worked up because she really loves the dress. I apologize on her behalf.”
Snow frowned. She wanted to say something, but Ada silenced her with a glance.
Kimberly said indifferently, “There’s no need to apologize. After all, this happened because we made a mistake. Please take your time choosing another dress.”
After Kimberly left, Snow looked at Ada in dissatisfaction and said, “Ada, why did you stop me? She’s just a store manager. How dare she be so arrogant!”
Following a brief pause, Ada softly said, “Snow, you’ve just returned to the country, so you don’t know about JM’s status in Ryoln City. Most prominent ladies and wives in the city wear custom–made dresses from JM. Offending JM won’t be beneficial for you.”
Snow snorted and spoke disdainfully, “It’s just a clothing brand. What’s the big deal? There are plenty of other brands besides JM. International brands wouldn’t have the audacity to act so arrogantly!”
Ada did not offer her any further explanation. She only smiled and said, “You’ll understand in the future. Let’s pick a dress first. Weren’t you interested in a few of them earlier?”
“Compared to Devotion, the rest seem less impressive…”
“What a pity! We’ll have to consider an alternative.”
Meanwhile, Dulcie looked at Silvia in puzzlement as soon as the call ended. “Did something happen at the store?”
