Chapter 14 Tell Your Woman to Apologize to me
“You!”
Cecilia froze and withdrew her right hand.
“This white dress is a new autumn style, designed by a top British designer and made of top fabrics. Our boss managed to get it with great difficulty, and it is the only one.”
The saleswoman looked at Sean and snorted, “Take care of your woman. Just seeing it at it is enough for her. It doesn’t matter if a man is poor, but it’s wrong for you to take your woman out to play.”
Sean’s pupils constricted.
He understood.
No wonder the salesclerk didn’t respond when Cecilia touched her white dress by herself. But when he arrived at Cecilia’s side, the salesgirl suddenly rushed to stop her.
He was the one who got Cecilia in trouble!
Cecilia’s current situation was not so good, but she was dressed very well. She didn’t have a lot of money, but at least she looked rich. Sean, on the other hand, was rich, but he was wearing cheap clothes, which made him look like a poor loser.
Judge a book by its cover, damn it!
“What did you say?”
Cecilia blushed, angry or ashamed of being called Sean’s woman by a salesperson. She said coldly, “If I don’t buy it, you don’t let me touch it. Isn’t this a hard sell?”
“If your man has money, let him buy it for you.”
The salesclerk showed no intention of backing down. She was talking to Cecilia, but her eyes kept falling on Sean with her chin raised and a defiant expression.
“You’ve gone too far!”
It was the first time Cecilia had ever met such an unreasonable salesgirl. With a slight tightening of her hand and a clenching of her teeth, she wanted to buy the white dress.
“What’s going on?”
Hudson Scott and Chloe come over. Hudson Scott took a look at the white dress and said quietly, “This lady is a friend of mine. She likes this dress and what’s wrong with touching it?”
With that, he raised his hand, lifted his suit and tie, and revealed the expensive Rolex hand on his wrist.
“Well…”
The salesclerk paused for a moment, then turned her head to see Hudson Scott’s designer suit and the Cartier pendant on Chloe’s neck. She immediately changed her face, smiled like a flower, and said flatteringly, “As she is your friend, of course she can touch it.”
Then she smiled at Cecilia, “There is a changing room over there, miss. You can go in and try it on.”
“…”
Cecilia’s face was at its worst.
For better or worse, Sean was her husband now. She didn’t feel good about asking another man to pay for her dress in front of Sean, which would make him feel awkward, too. Hudson Scott was Chloe’s boyfriend and Chloe was there. Would she be jealous?
“Cecilia, go ahead and change it.”
Chloe knew what Cecilia was worried about and came forward, “Just about 20, 000 dollars, a drop in Hudson’s bucket. Think of it as Hudson gave it to me and I gave it to you. We’re best friends. Don’t worry, I’m not that petty.”
Instead of putting a good word for Sean, she derided him, “Your man is useless, I will cover you in the future!”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
With these words, she reached for the white dress and strode across to the changing room with Cecilia.
Sean frowned and said nothing.
Although Chloe disliked him and despised him in every way, she was also protecting Cecilia from the deep sisterly love, and he did not want to argue with Chloe.
As for the money, he will pay the bill later and will not let the hypocrite Hudson Scott get away with it.
“Wow! That’s a nice dress!”
Chloe and Cecilia had just reached the door of the dressing room when a young woman came into the store and the white dress in Chloe’s hand caught her eye.
Without another word, she grabbed it with her hand.
Chloe said angrily in a flash, “Who are you? What are you doing? My friend saw this dress first. Give it to me!”
“Luis, that’s a nice dress. Pay for it!”
The young woman did not pay any attention to Chloe. She did not even bother to look at her. She turned to the full-length mirror and unfolded the white dress, gesticulating over herself and calling out of the store.
“You!”
Chloe stamped her feet and turned to Hudson Scott.
Hudson Scott coughed and was about to start supporting Chloe when a man in his 30s appeared in front of the store.
“Wrap it up if you like.”
The middle-aged man said casually without asking the price, obviously a rich man.
“Mr. Sanchez?!”
Hudson Scott immediately recognized the middle-aged man’s identity. His pupils dilated and his mouth gaped from ear to ear.
“What Mr. Sanchez?”
Chloe frowned and she was confused, but Hudson Scott’s reaction made her realize that this middle-aged man was not easy to mess with. At least Hudson Scott couldn’t afford to mess with him.
Hudson Scott whispered, “Owen Sanchez, the richest man in Hilshire. Have you heard of him? He’s Owen Sanchez’s son, Luis Sanchez! He is also the president of the City Martial Arts Association, and I am the vice president. Speaking of which, he’s half my boss…”
“What?!”
His voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Chloe’s ears. She stared blankly at Luis Sanchez, then at the young woman who was still gesturing her white dress, and a chill went down her back. She thought to herself, “God, it’s a good thing I didn’t rush in and get the white dress back, otherwise…”
“Hudson?”
Luis Sanchez was a little surprised to run into Hudson Scott here. The way he addressed Hudson Scott and spoke to him was like calling out for a minor brother.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Even so, Hudson Scott seemed to be flattered. He was bowing and scraping, “Mr. Sanchez, I was lucky enough to bump into you today. If you’re available, I must invite you to dinner.”
“Flattery!”
The young woman gave Hudson Scott a dirty look, then pointed at Chloe and asked, “She’s your woman?”
“Yes, she is my girlfriend.” Hudson Scott nodded.
The young woman snorted, “She just tried to take my clothes. Are you blind? Can’t you see? She’s trying to reason with me! She has no quality!”
Chloe looked awkward.
Since she fell in love with Hudson Scott, she had been on a fast track. She was usually the bully, and she had never been so bullied. But she couldn’t mess with the son of Hilshire’s richest man.
She gritted her teeth and bore it!
“It’s all my fault. It’s my ignorance. It’s my inability to discipline my own woman. How about this? If this lady likes the dress, I’ll pay for it to make amends to the lady and Mr. Sanchez.”
Hudson Scott said generously.
The young woman raised her eyebrows and said contemptuously, “Is Luis short of money? Can’t he afford it?”
“So, what do you…”
“Tell you woman to apologize to me!”
“But…”
Hudson Scott and Chloe looked at each other, each more embarrassed than the last. Hudson Scott gave Chloe a wink and told her to do as she was told.
Chloe felt very aggrieved and angry.
But what else could she do?
“It’s all your fault, son of a bitch!”
Chloe gave Sean a sharp look and blamed all her anger on Sean. Then she walked up to the young woman and bowed her head, “I’m sorry. It was all my fault.”
“Oh?”
“What did you do wrong?” the young woman asked deliberately.
“I shouldn’t have taken your clothes, and I certainly shouldn’t have reasoned with you. What you like is yours, and what you say is truth…”
Chloe felt sick saying that.
“Well, you are not that stupid.”
Satisfied, the young woman swaggered up to the counter with her white dress, saying, “wrap it for me.”
“Okay.”
The assistant was equally deferential, and had none of the insolence with which she had just faced Cecilia.
This was the charm of money!
The power of power!
Luis Sanchez stood in front of the shop and didn’t say a word, but everything changed because of him, and everyone’s attitude changed because of him!
Chloe came back to Cecilia with a depressed look and whispered consolingly, “Cecilia, this Luis is the son of Owen Sanchez, the richest man in Hilshire, and we can’t afford to mess with him. Let’s go to another store later and see if they have the same style.”
“There’s no need.”
Cecilia shook her head and said, “Chloe, I’m sorry I got you into this.”
“Don’t say that. It’s no big deal.”
Chloe smiled broadly, looked at Sean again and said contemptuously, “That son of a bitch is not a man to let someone take what you love!”
Cecilia also looks at Sean…
“Wait!”
As the clerk packed up the white dress, Luis Sanchez took out his bank card and was about to pay. Sean, who had been frowning, came out and said, “My wife saw this dress first. There’s no need to try it on. I’ll take it.”
