The second floor was brightly lit and the table was filled with exquisite small desserts specially ordered from Michelin-
star restaurants. There was also a luxurious scent in the store.
“Ladies, would you like a drink? We’ve specially prepared a selection of fine
European wine exclusive for our WWVIPs.
The low alcohol percentage makes it quite befitting for casual drinking. Would you like to try it?” The store manager recommended their value-added services for the important guests.
Joyce and Yvette glanced at each other, then answered, “Sure, we’ll have a glass then.”
The wine was very fragrant. Joyce knew a t first glance that this kind of wine without a brand was not for sale to the public and was only available for private collection. Just as the store manager mentioned, it was very exclusive.
Joyce and Yvette sat on the sofa while the store manager handed them an iPad that had a catalog of their brand’s limited edition collection.
The store manager adjusted the ambient light on the second floor. With a light clap, a stream of models with similar figures to Joyce and Yvette came out from the back wearing the sample clothes.
Thus, the ladies did not have to try them on and only needed to nod when they saw a piece they fancied. They did not even need to lift their feet.
While Yvette and Joyce were watching intently, they suddenly heard a noise downstairs.
“Where is everyone? Is this how you serve your customers?”
Joyce glanced in the direction of the voice and saw Selena Price and Ingrid
Beckett standing at the entrance.
‘Damn it… If I’d known earlier, I would’ve let them clear out the store…’
Selena Price looked up and was slightly stunned to see Joyce upstairs gently swirling a glass of wine in her hand, looking very relaxed. However, Joyce did not bother to look at them and continued t o watch the models in front of her.
Ingrid and Selena walked to the stairs but were stopped by the staff in the store.
“Sorry, the second floor is closed to the public.”
Ingrid was infuriated. “What did you say?
What right do you have to stop us? I’m your VIP guest, so why can’t I go upstairs?! Your service attitude is horrible! Just wait till I file a complaint against you and make you lose your job!”
The staff smiled and spoke politely, “I’m sorry, but we have important guests upstairs that cannot be disturbed. The first floor is still open for other customers. If you wish to go to the second floor, please come again tomorrow.”
“No, I have an important event to attend in the evening, so it has to be today!”
Ingrid was a snob and full of herself. I’m the Young Lady of the Beckett family!
Who dares to neglect me?’
The staff had a difficult look on her face.”
Ms. Beckett, I’m sorry, but it’s really not possible.”
Selena pulled Ingrid’s arm from the side.”
Forget it… Perhaps they do have some important people upstairs… Let’s just stay on the first floor.”
This was a slap in the face for a snob like
Ingrid. ‘Who dares to offend me in the whole of Atlanta?’
Ingrid sneered. She shoved the staff aside and headed upstairs. “I must go to the second floor! If that guest of yours doesn’t want to share a space, kick them out!”
The staff could not stop her, so she could only follow in a panic. “No, Ms. Beckett
A triumphant smirk flashed across
Selena’s face.
Joyce noticed the commotion downstairs and thought, ‘These clowns!’
The store manager also heard the commotion and glanced at Joyce apologetically. She walked over intending to stop Ingrid, but it was too late. Ingrid had already reached the top of the stairs.
When Ingrid saw Joyce, her face stiffened. She did not expect that the important guest was Joyce.
Yvette snorted coldly. “I was just thinking who that uncivilized person might be…
Turns out it’s Ms. Beckett. I don’t think there’s anyone in the entire city that’s as boorish as her…”
Ingrid was ridiculed and gritted her teeth in anger. “Hmph! So it’s you guys… Did you buy out the second floor? Why can’t other people come up?”
“Because we like it. What do you care?”
Yvette raised her eyebrows as she retorted.
Joyce shook her wine glass insouciantly. It was a pity that such fine wine and this wonderful atmosphere were so crudely ruined.
Selena came forward and looked at
Joyce with a smile. “Joyce, it’s been a long time since we met.”
“Quit that act. Who wants to see you?”
Yvette had the worst impression of Selena Price.
Selena was such a manipulative two-
faced b*tch that liked to act all innocent to gain everyone’s sympathy. She was the most wicked person Yvette knew.
Joyce looked down and did not pay any attention to Selena. The atmosphere was awkward for a while. The store manager saw this and immediately understood that these ladies knew each other but did not get along.
“Sorry, these two ladies came upstairs first. Can you two please wait downstairs for a moment?”
“Why should we wait?” Ingrid was dissatisfied and needed to vent her anger on someone.
It’s all Joyce’s fault that Grandpa is mad at me for not getting his emerald pipe back! Brother also didn’t help me because of her!
“Yeah, we all know each other anyway.
Why don’t we join our sessions since the models are already displaying the clothes? This service isn’t usually offered to guests, so it’s just as well we can all enjoy it. Joyce, you wouldn’t mind, right?”
Selena’s voice was gentle as she spoke.
The store manager paused and was just thinking of a way to kick them out when she heard Joyce’s light laughter.
‘Does she think that I’ll be cordial in front of everyone, that I’d put up with her like before? Dream on!’ Joyce thought.
Joyce lifted her head nonchalantly to look straight at Selena with a cold gaze.
I do mind… Because your breathing bothers me.”
Joyce hooked her lips into a cold smile and watched as Selena’s fake smile gradually stiffened and shattered.
She was extremely satisfied.
“Hear that? Why are you still here? How thick-skinned are you to freeload off of our treatment? Ms. Price, please be more self-conscious.” Yvette sneered.
Seeing this, the store manager feared that Joyce would be upset and immediately made her position clear. She turned to Ingrid Beckett and Selena
Price and said, “Ladies, please head downstairs. Our staff will attend to you shortly.”
Selena’s face was glum. Ingrid was even more furious because this was a slap in the face for her.
If word got out, Ingrid’s reputation among the high-society ladies would go down the drain!
“No! I want to see what kind of clothes
Joyce has her eyes on. I have plenty of money, so I’ll buy whatever she wants!”
Ingrid wanted to flaunt her wealth to gain back her reputation, especially in front of
Joyce.
Joyce was slightly stunned and raised an eyebrow. “You’re buying it?”
“Yes, I’ll buy it all!” Ingrid sneered, then looked at the store manager smugly.”
Kick them out of here now!”
The store manager could hardly maintain her smile and looked torn. ‘Ms.
Beckett’s princess attitude is so difficult to deal with…’
Joyce smiled and looked at the store manager. “Since Ms. Beckett wants it, just wrap up everything that I picked earlier and give it to her.”
The store manager froze and felt surprised that Joyce did not look the slightest bit angry. She then nodded and did as she was told.
“Alright.”
The store manager then told the staff to take out all of the clothes Joyce picked earlier. Joyce looked at Ingrid in the back and said nonchalantly, “Ms. Beckett, you wouldn’t think that they’re too expensive and return them later, right?”
The store manager was stunned. If Ms.
Beckett returned all of these, the store would sustain substantial losses!
Ingrid heard this and thought that Joyce was simply trying her patience.
“Return them? I’d rather throw it away than return the things I buy!”
Ingrid lifted her chin arrogantly and thought, ‘Joyce is just a sugar baby that depends on her man yet she acts like she’s really from a rich family?’
Joyce took out her phone and played the recording of their conversation earlier.
“Ms. Beckett, you wouldn’t think that they’re too expensive and return them later, right?”
“Return them? I’d rather throw it away than return the things I buy!”
Ingrid froze and her expression changed slightly. “What are you trying to do?”
Joyce looked at the store manager with a smile. “This is proof of what Ms.Beckett said. If Ms. Beckett returns these items, you can show her friends how ‘generous’ Ms. Beckett is when they come to the store!”
