Life After Prison by Silencieux (PDF) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

After flashing a forced smile to Severin, she turned to a young assistant near her. “Hey, Bree, will you be all right if I handed these customers over to you? You need to make a good impression since you’re new and all!” 

Oh, sure, Miss Debra!” 

The young female saleswoman nodded, and then said to Severin and Diane, “Sir, ma’am, good afternoon. These right here are all our new models. You have a good figure, ma’am, and I think a person of your grace should try them!” 

Debra walked to one side and chatted secretly with two of the more seasoned employees. “Bree’s pretty dumb, isn’t she? I didn’t think she’d be brave enough to accept those customers after I said. I’ll pass them to her. She’s wasting her time with them!” 

Another of the senior employees said, “How can someone who looks like a farmer be able to afford our clothes? That was mean of you to pass them over to Bree!” 

“Tch. You can’t blame me if she accepts them. Did you see how respectfully she’s explaining the new models to them? It’s like she’s not worried that they might cause trouble. If I were her, the most I’d do is just tell them that they can have a look around. It’s good enough that I didn’t chase. them out of the store. People with as poor a judgment as Bree aren’t suited to working here, haha! “Debra continued to sneer. 

Unbeknownst to them, Severin could still hear their whispers clearly despite their best abilities to keep their voices down. 

“Mom! This dress looks so pretty! I think you’ll look good in it!” 

Selene grabbed a white skirt with an innocent look on her face. 

Debra’s expression soured the second she saw what happened. She strode over and yelled at Bree’s face. “What is wrong with you, Bree? Did you even care to wash this little girl’s hands? Do you know how dirty they are? How could you just let these children touch those clothes so casually? Letting them look at the clothes is good enough. Are you going to pay for the clothes if they get soiled and the customers can’t afford to buy them?” 

Bree opened her mouth and did not know what to say. She glanced at Selene with a smile. “But Miss Debra, her hands are super clean!” 

Debra was speechless for a moment, for she did not expect the newbie to be speaking up for the other party.
