Chapter 538: 538: No Smoking_1

“Who the hell are you!”

Anna Harris felt both annoyed and angry after being spoken to by the woman like that.

Indeed, she hadn’t expected the necklace to be so expensive, but being so blatantly ridiculed would be unbearable for anyone!

“I get it, he’s your daddy, right?”

A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Anna Harris’s mouth.

“This is my girlfriend. What, you want to be my girlfriend too? Come spend a night with me first. If you’re good, I don’t mind giving you a few tens of thousands for your service fee!”

The corpulent man leered at Anna Harris before wrapping his arm around the woman’s waist.

“Ah! I thought she was your daughter. But miss, aren’t you afraid of becoming a young widow by getting with a man as old as your dad? Then again, when you think about it, once he dies, you can just take his money and keep a toy boy on the side.”

Anna Harris said with a grin, “Just don’t forget to plant some grass on your sugar daddy’s grave when the time comes.”

“Plant grass for what!”

The woman asked, puzzled.

“To bring some green to his plot!”

Anna Harris laughed as she spoke.

Even Quella Radcliffe and Julius Reed nearby couldn’t help but chuckle.

“You filthy woman! How dare you talk about me like that!”

The corpulent man, humiliated and furious, raised his hand to strike.

“There are cameras here. Hit me, and I’ll call the cops!”

Anna Harris leaned in, glaring boldly at the corpulent man, “Come on! You wimp!”

“You…”

The man’s face kept changing colors, and finally, he let out a cold laugh and withdrew his hand, “I won’t stoop to your level, you classless harpy. Poor people just have no manners! Salesperson, package this necklace up for me; I’m buying it!”

Afterward, the woman in his arms chimed in with scorn, “Like you could ever afford it. You’re only fit to drool over it in the display case or spit out insults in the street.”

“You…”

Anna Harris approached the counter and suddenly said with a smile, “There’s a first-come, first-served rule in life. Since you came later, you can wait for this miss to finish trying it on, then you can buy.”

With that, she took the crystal necklace from the salesperson’s hand and put it around Quella Radcliffe’s neck.

“It looks pretty good.”

Julius Reed nodded in agreement.

This Spring Snow indeed seemed more upscale than the Crystal Love necklace.

Only, they didn’t have it back in Gonzalez City at the time.

Had it not been for this exhibition, many high-end products would have been out of reach for Gonzalez City.

After all, it’s a small place. Even though it’s by the sea, the local’s wealth isn’t much.

“Hey! This is kind of interesting!”

When the corpulent man saw Quella Radcliffe wearing the necklace, he pointed at the salesperson and cursed, “You dare to sell things looking like that? You blind as a bat!”

Smack!

He slapped the salesperson across the face.

“How can you hit someone!”

Anna Harris glared at the corpulent man, “Despite being a man, how dare you hit a woman! She’s just selling things. If you came late, you need to wait in line. That’s the rule!”

The salesperson was struck because of her; Anna Harris couldn’t help but feel guilty.

“Keep talking, and I’ll hit you too!”

The middle-aged man, belly protruding, with his arm around the young woman, pointed at Anna Harris and said, “You wretched woman, dare to oppose me, do you know who I am?”

“What’s going on here!”

At that moment, a man in a suit approached. He looked at the salesperson covering her face and asked with a frown, “Who did this!”

“Me!”

“Him!”

The man admitted himself, and Anna Harris also pointed him out.

“What happened! Speak up!”

The man looked at the salesperson and demanded an explanation.

“This lady wanted to try on this necklace, and this gentleman arrived afterwards and wanted to try it, too. Following the first-come, first-served policy, I let this young lady try it on first, but then the gentleman came up and slapped me…”

The salesperson was a young girl, now crying out of grievance.

She had only been working for three months when she was hit by someone.

“I’m telling you, I’m here to buy this necklace directly! You look at them, which one looks like they can afford a necklace?”

The man pulled out a card and slammed it on the counter, “See? I’m the real deal! You neglect the buyer to let a bunch of broke asses try it on, wasting my time! What’s wrong with me hitting her?”

Having said that, the man also stubbed his cigarette out on the counter.

“Hey! Do you have any manners? You’re obviously a nouveau riche! It clearly says no smoking, yet you dare to smoke! Where’s security!”

Anna Harris looked around and was about to call security.

“Sir, are you really going to buy it?”

It was at this moment that another man in a suit spoke up.

In just the past few minutes, he had sized up both parties’ attire.

This was a mandatory course for sales.

Judging guests by their appearance.

Knowing who could afford what, no need to waste time.

They would enthusiastically welcome guests who could really afford to buy.

As for those who were just looking, they tended to be dismissive.

It was not a matter of looking down on people—after all, salespeople need to make money too, and nobody wants to put in useless effort.

But this, in itself, went against professional ethics.

“Exactly! I say I’ll buy it, and I will. Eighty million, like that’s real money to me?”

The man sneered condescendingly at Anna Harris, “Don’t say you want to buy it. If you really want to, offer the money now, and I walk away, no fuss!”

“You…”

Anna Harris wanted to speak, but she was choked by this remark.

Sure enough, money spoke loudest.

“But he hit someone! That’s not right! The sales associate did nothing wrong. Also, he smoked here!”

Anna Harris pointed at the cigarette butt on the counter, “This person has no manners at all!”

“I’m sorry, miss.”

The man in the suit glanced at Anna Harris and took the hand covering the sales associate’s face.”

He slapped her forcefully!

Slap!

“Hey! What are you doing!”

Anna Harris asked in shock.

Why did this newcomer hit their own person?

“Sir, I apologize for the terrible shopping experience I’ve caused. Now that I’ve hit her, if you are not satisfied, I can continue.”

The man in the suit smiled and looked at the corpulent man, grabbing the teary-eyed sales associate, “Apologize to the gentleman immediately!”

After that, he turned around and tore off the no-smoking sign stuck on the wall.

“Now, sir, smoking is within the rules.”

The man in the suit said with a smile, “I am the manager of the jewelry showroom, name’s Scotty Lake.”

“Scotty, good job! I’m very satisfied!”

The corpulent man looked at Anna Harris and proudly said, “Scotty, wrap up this necklace for me, and have it cleaned as well. My woman doesn’t like anyone else’s scent on it.”

“Certainly, sir.”

Scotty Lake nodded with a smile.

Selling this strand of necklace alone could earn him hundreds of thousands in commission.

He couldn’t pass up such a huge deal.

“Miss, please take off the necklace.”

He turned to Quella Radcliffe, his tone instantly turning cold.

“Brother, don’t judge by appearances!”

Julius Reed walked up to Quella Radcliffe and asked with a smile, “Wife, like it?”

“Julius…”

“Don’t like it, I plan to buy it anyway.”

Julius Reed interrupted Quella Radcliffe, “Such a fine necklace, if it ends up on the neck of a green tea bitch, it’d totally lack class.”
