When Xyla Quest first started her company, the company’s high-level executives knew she personally did not like too much attention. Hence, nobody dared talk about her affairs to outsiders. It was a practice carried forward until today.
It had become the norm in the company that nobody would talk about her, which explained why it was normal for artists in the company not to know who she was.
After comparing the two women’s outfits, the sales assistant smiled at the beautiful woman who wore a sable fur coat. “Alright, I will get this wrapped up for you right away,” the sales assistant said.
“Miss, I saw this outfit first, alright?” Xyla immediately frowned.
The sales assistant smiled politely. “Miss, this is a design from the young and most famous international designer, Vivian, who collaborated with Chanel to release it.”
“So?” Xyla asked.
“So, you probably can’t afford it. You might not even know who Vivian is, do you? She’s an extremely talented designer. Her net worth is even higher than the chief designer in Chanel. But she did not sign a contract with any brands. Instead, she would only occasionally collaborate with major international brands for one or two designs when she wanted to. Usually, there would only be a single unit released for each design. Do you know what that means? Scarcity comes with a bigger price tag. Any outfit with Vivian’s label on it would be hundreds of times more expensive. Even so, people would still frantically go after these outfits. This outfit is a prime example, and would cost at least eight hundred thousand dollars,” Faye White said snobbishly.
Based on how Xyla was dressed in regular, inexpensive clothes, Faye thought she looked like a student who could not possibly afford outfits like the one she was referring to.
“Miss, why don’t you take a look at our other designs in the store?” The sales assistant said with a forced smile as she looked at Xyla.
Although the sales assistant seemed polite, there was a distant look in her eyes, which revealed that she, too, looked down on Xyla.
Xyla glanced at the sales assistant before pointing at another outfit on one of the mannequins. “Is this a design from a collaboration between Vivian and Chanel? It looks different from the rest of the designs in your store.”
The outfit Xyla pointed at was a formal, white outfit with smooth lines and a body-hugging design. There were golden lines engraved on its collar, making it seem low-key yet grand.
“Yes, Miss. This outfit is even more expensive. It costs 1.2 million dollars,” the sales assistant said.
