Greta believed that Sydney had received favored treatment from the brand and thus got the dress.
As for why the brand gave Sydney favored treatment, Greta didn't think about it.
Greta only knew that she could threaten the brand to get the dress.
Anyway, now that she couldn't get the dress, she wouldn't let others get it either, especially Sydney.
Seeing the complacent Greta, Sydney was disgusted with her.
The manager felt ridiculous and said, "Miss Sullivan, I'm sorry that we won't get the dress back. Also, Ms. Raines has never pulled strings."
"What?" Greta's expression froze on her face, and she looked clownish.
Sydney sat down and put the dress aside. She was not anxious to try it on. She picked up her coffee and continued to drink it.
"How is it possible?" Greta finally came to her senses. She was reluctant to believe it and shook her head. "You must have given her favored treatment. If you didn't, why could she invite your top designer to design the dress for her? She even doesn't have the VIP membership! Don't lie to me!"
Greta's voice became sharp.
The manager frowned and became impatient. "I didn't lie to you. It's true that Ms. Raines has never pulled strings. Just like what you said, Skylight Corporation doesn't make much money, and Ms. Raines hasn't spent 100 million dollars on our brand. She isn't our target customer, and thus we won't give her any favored treatment. However, her boyfriend is Mr. Flint. Although Ms. Raines doesn't have so much money, Mr. Flint has. He not only has the supreme VIP membership of our brand but also has the supreme VIP memberships of many other luxury brands. Of course, we can design the dress for Ms. Raines exclusively."
Then the manager looked at Sydney, who was drinking coffee calmly. The manager apologized, "I'm sorry, Ms. Raines. I didn't mean to offend you."
'I said that Ms. Raines wasn't our target customer. It's understandable if she is angry about that.
'Hope Ms. Raines doesn't get angry about it. Otherwise, I will be in trouble if Mr. Flint blames me.'
Sydney put down the coffee, raised her head and smiled at the uneasy manager. "It doesn't matter. What you said is true. I'm not that narrow-minded."
What the manager had said was true. Skylight Corporation was just a corporation with little fame in Port City. It was at the bottom of all corporations in Port City.
On the surface, it was a corporation. In fact, it was just a big company and could hardly be termed a corporation. After all, a corporation needed to have many subsidiaries.
Six years ago, Skylight Corporation sold many subsidiaries continuously. Up to now, only about two or three subsidiaries were left. It kept the previous name just because Sydney hadn't gone to change it. To be exact, its name should be Skylight Company instead of Skylight Corporation.
Skylight Corporation had little place in Port City, let alone in the country and the whole world. On the contrary, the brand had a history of one hundred years. It was natural that Sydney wasn't their target customer.
There was no need for Sydney to get angry about that. After all, she had self-knowledge all the time.
Besides, it was true that she got the dress all because of Julien.
Originally, Sydney was reluctant to do that. However, the owner of the shopping mall, who was also going to attend the business party, was a big fan of the brand. She always wore its clothes in her daily life or when she attended various parties and activities.
Sydney wanted to get an exhibition platform in the shopping mall, so she needed to suit the owner's fancy.
Sydney didn't know the owner of the mall. If Sydney wanted to be acquainted with her, Sydney needed to start with her preferences.
The owner of the mall liked to wear this brand's clothes and collect its bags, decorations and so on. Thus, Sydney chose this brand instead of choosing to buy affordable luxury brands as usual.
Besides, it was not enough for Sydney to choose a normal dress from this brand. She must wear a unique one, which had never been displayed on its official website. Only in this way could Sydney arouse the owner's interest and get acquainted with her through the dress.
If Sydney wanted to get such a dress, she must contact the designer of this brand to design the dress for her.
Just like Greta's words, Sydney didn't have the VIP membership, so she didn't have the right to let the brand design a dress for her exclusively. Then she thought of Julien and used his VIP membership. Finally, the brand agreed.
