Chapter 135

The sales attendant looked at Winter in disbelief when she heard this. “Miss, what you said isn’t

quite right. Mr. Hoffman saw these shoes first, and you haven’t paid yet, so it’s only fair I give them

to Mr. Hoffman.

*Besides, no matter who you are, everyone is a customer to me. Should I give you special

treatment just because you’re someone important?”

“You…” Winter was at a loss for words after being blocked by the assistant’s response. As the

eldest daughter of the Shaw family, she was used to people granting her wishes. Her fans. treated

her like a treasure, yet this small–time sales attendant dared to speak to her like this.

“Get your store manager… No, get your general manager here! I can’t believe I have to take this

nonsense just to buy a pair of shoes!”

Winter was truly furious, almost to the point of losing her temper. Annie and Suzy were about to say

something when the sales attendant replied while smiling in anger, “Alright. I’ll get our manager right

away. Please wait a moment, miss!”

The sales attendant glanced at Charles, who nodded slightly, approving her actions.

Charles curled his lips. Without looking at Winter or her friends, he walked over to Noelle and

glanced at the shoes in her hands. “What’s wrong?”

Noelle hesitated slightly. “Mr. Hoffman, do I still need to try them on?”

However, Charles smiled reassuringly at Noelle, signaling her not to worry.

Seeing Charles‘ demeanor, Noelle decided not to argue further. She calmly sat down and began

trying on the shoes.

They were indeed beautiful shoes, and Noelle had liked them at first sight. However, liking them

Luckily, Charles reacted quickly. He quickly held Noelle’s hand with one hand and supported her

blinked, and her hand’s instinctively gripped Charles‘ shoulders.

She simply stared at him with her large, innocent eyes.

She was about to say something when she heard a voice from behind. It was Annie speaking, “How

shameless is she? Throwing herself at a man.”

Noelle blushed, realizing the awkward position she was in with Charles. She gently pushed him

away. “Thank you.”

“Are you alright? Charles frowned. When Noelle fell onto him, her fragrance enveloped him, making

him momentarily dizzy.

Charles was annoyed at being interrupted. He then glanced sharply at Annie, his piercing gaze

sending a chill down her spine. She shivered, sensing she might have offended Charles.

of Charles‘ hand while forcing a smile. “I’m fine. Thank you, Mr. Hoffman.” Then, she added while

looking at the shoes on her feet, “Mr. Hoffman, these shoes are really beautiful!”
