Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30: Apologize to Miss North

Florence's lips fell agape in amazement when her eyes landed on the woman donning the white Elsa dress. The young lady appeared like a character from a children's storybook, exuding an ethereal quality. Her graceful shoulders and collarbone were subtly visible through the elegant design of the dress. The fitted silhouette accentuated her alluring curves, rendering her a vision of nobility, elegance, and stunning beauty. Her presence would undoubtedly captivate onlookers wherever she ventured.

However, when Florence's gaze met the enchanting woman's eyes, she was bewildered to find Jane gazing back at her. The surprise caused Florence to blink and rub her eyes, doubting the reality of the transformation.

A surge of jealousy and hatred coursed through Florence as she pointed emphatically at Jane and demanded of the clerk, "I'll take that dress! Pack it for me!"

The sales clerk was torn between two customers with opposing claims. She hesitated but couldn't bring herself to say that the dress was already promised to Jane. Florence questioned sternly, "Has she paid for it?"

After a moment's pause, the clerk answered, "Not yet."

Florence asserted the importance of payment in sealing a sale, reinforcing her VIP status within the boutique. Erica, seizing an opportunity to ingratiate herself, chimed in with a reminder of Florence's prominence. Their collective influence was enough to instill fear in the clerk, who was fully aware of the Doyle family's power.

Conversely, the clerk remained unaware of Jane's background, which she presumed to be of lesser significance compared to Florence. So, she reluctantly gathered her courage and approached Jane, requesting, "Miss, you have to take off the dress. It has been purchased."

In response, Jane donned a sardonic smile and retorted, "Didn't I just inform you that I wanted to purchase it?"

"But..."

As the clerk searched for words to persuade Jane to relinquish the dress, Erica intervened, her voice raised in a shrill command. "Florence desires that dress. Remove it immediately!"

Jane couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Is this some kind of joke? I had declared my intention to purchase this dress first. Isn't it 'first come, first served'?"

"Can you even afford this dress?" Erica retorted dismissively, losing her composure. "Do you know how much it's worth? You're arrogant despite your poverty!"

"It's none of your business whether I can afford it or not."

Ignoring Erica, Jane reached for her black card and instructed the clerk, "Please charge my card for it."
