"What?" Before Emani could figure out what Janet meant, the latter had already dragged her into the shop.
The shop's decoration was bedazzling. It was already dark outside, but inside the store, it was bright as day.
When the shop clerks saw them come in, they surrounded the two and greeted them.
Janet let go of Emani's arm, looking around while holding her phone. She then intentionally raised her voice and said, "Miss Gomez, now that you're here, I can take as many photos as I want!"
Having said that, she began taking photos of the jewelry inside the store.
The look on the faces of the shop clerks changed. One of them hurried to stop her. She blocked Janet's camera phone using her hand and said with a professional smile, "Sorry, ma'am, but taking photos of our products is prohibited. Please put your phone away."
Pretending as though she was surprised, Janet covered her mouth and glanced at Emani. The latter stood rooted to her spot, dumbstruck. "But Miss Gomez said that she's a VIP customer here. She must've told you that she allowed me to take photos here in advance, right? She's a celebrity. Is she not allowed to do that?"
The shop clerk glanced at Emani and said, "As I recall, Miss Gomez has never even shopped here. How could she be one of our VIP customers?"
All of the shop clerks here were smart, and they remembered who their regulars were.
Emani was so embarrassed that she just wanted to run away. As a matter of fact, the shop assistant was telling the truth. She never shopped here even once, and was in fact, not a VIP.
Besides, this was an international luxury jewelry brand, and it had incredibly famous stars endorsing it. None of these people would take her seriously.
Emani only said those words earlier to mock Janet. She didn't expect that Janet would actually come in here and take photos.
