âHow did your store even become part of this mall?â
The shop manager lowered his head and asked, âWhat would you like me to do, sir?â
âFire her,â Mitchel curtly said and then left the store.
The saleswoman was left dumbfounded.
Her brief moment of triumph from the deals vanished, replaced by shock and fear.
On the verge of tears, she tried to follow Mitchel, but the manager held her back.
âThis customer is a top-tier one,â the manager explained.
âIâll send the surveillance footage to our headquarters for review.
Go home for now.

Meanwhile, Eloise looked unsettled.
She had a feeling that Mitchel had done that not in her defense but in Raeganâs.
At this moment, she quickened her pace to catch up with Mitchel and then reached out to grasp his arm.
But then, Mitchel turned sharply and gazed at her with an icy gaze.
âI donât like being touched.
Donât do that again.

Eloiseâs eyes turned red, and her cheeks burned as if she had been slapped.
The truth was, she did not actually ki*s him earlier.
Mitchel had deftly avoided her.
She had made loud noises on purpose because she was afraid of losing face.
But she did not realize she had crossed his boundaries.
Mitchel did not wait for her and marched ahead.
Eloise forced herself to calm down and hurried after him.

She could not ruin this shopping trip, especially given the efforts of Mitchelâs father on her behalf.
Meanwhile, Raegan and Nicole were shopping at a cosmetics store on the first floor.
After a while, Nicole excused herself to use the restroom, so Raegan wandered around while waiting.
A few steps away, Raegan spotted a wallet on the ground.
It was a simple black Kraft design, adorned with a short-name logo.
She recognized it at once.
Raegan was reluctant to pick it up at first.
But as she pondered, she thought of the potential risk to Mitchel if his identity documents got lost and fell into the wrong hands.
With that, she picked up the wallet, intending to hand it over to the reception desk so they could inform its owner.
However, before she could take a few steps, she saw Mitchel standing by the railing and talking to someone on the phone.
Eloise was nowhere in sight.
Not wanting to cause a scene, Raegan gently tugged on his sleeve to get his attention.
She was about to say something when he suddenly shook her hand off and snapped, âDonât touch me.
