“Isn't this expensive?” Joan casually commented while squirming her lips.
“Sigh, Joan, you have to remember that you're Larry's girl. As his wife, you can never say the word 'expensive'.” Just as she spoke, Jessica walked over. Pointing to the bra, she asked excitedly, “Miss, how much is this?”
The lady standing beside the bra was stunned. She thinks that I'm one of the sales staffs.
Taking a deep breath, the lady contained her anger and forced herself to smile. “Hello, Miss, this is a limited edition bra and costs twenty-five thousand.”
Joan was stunned by what she heard.
Twenty-five thousand?
“Let's just go, it's too expensive.” Joan tugged at Jessica's sleeve. However, Jessica didn't feel it was expensive at all because she was born with a silver spoon.
“I'll take it!” Jessica declared.
“Deal!”
Very quickly, the transaction was settled.
However, Joan and Jessica felt it strange when the staff wanted cash from them. Furthermore, she didn't need them to go to the counter to pay, saying that it would save time.
“Wouldn't there be any problems?” Joan asked
Jessica in a worried tone.
“I don't think so. I come here often and know the staff well. Also, I've done this before but not with cash. This is the first time though.” Although they had their doubts, they didn't think too much about it. Instead, they were delighted with the bra in their hands.
“Caspian will definitely love this color.”
When she saw how Jessica was swooning, Joan shook her head as she felt embarrassed on her behalf. Although it is expensive, all that matters is that she likes it and is happy with it.
Just when they were about to leave, the sales attendant called out to stop them. Smiling cordially, she reminded, “Ms. Zimmer, you have yet to pay for that. Please come to the counter to do so.”
Jessica tilted her at the sales attendant and asserted, “I just paid for it.” “Ms. Zimmer, I'm sorry. You haven't. Perhaps, you have confused it with something else.” The sales attendant maintained her smile professionally.
What's going on?Can it be that the lady wasn't one of the staff?
