A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1174

The shop assistant threw some suspicious glances onto Helen and Fabian.

"What do you mean if I can afford anything? It's just two pieces of clothing." Helen pressed her lips in annoyance.

She did notice that this mall was larger than the one she had always shopped at. But how much could two blouses possibly sum up to?

"Hah! Do you think this is one of your favorite thrift shops? Let's see if you can afford it." Shania was persistently putting Helen down. They went to the same school, and Shania had never seen Helen worn or carried anything branded. The former highly doubted if the latter could pay for the clothes.

As for Fabian, he was totally ignored. Shania assumed that he feared her since he didn't defend Helen during the squabble.

Helen gave Shania a sidelong glance, took a step forward, and picked out a blouse. She drew it close to her torso to gauge the size. "I'd like to have this in a small," she requested while passing the garment to the shop assistant.

Hmph! I need to stand tall. It's only going to be a couple of thousands. I can work to earn that money back, but there's no way I'm going to lose face. I'm so going to shatter your haughtiness, Shania. Who do you think you're looking down on?

The shop assistant stood still like a coat rack. "Hey, didn't you hear what I said?" Helen was upset.

It wasn't that the lady didn't hear her, but she was convinced that Helen didn't have the money. Helen was in a white shirt and distressed jeans, whereas Fabian donned an average stoic black suit. That didn't shout rich. On top of that, Shania was a regular there. It'd only be wise to go according to her will.

"Do have a look at the price," the shop assistant uttered indifferently.

That got on Helen's nerves. What's wrong with you people? It's just a blouse!

She took the blouse back, and the price tagged jolted her eyes as wide as two magnifying glasses placed side by side. What! Twenty-five thousand! This is daylight robbery!
