Chapter 51:
Jealousy and hatred flashed through Heather’s eyes. She pointed at Annabel and said to the clerk, “I’ll take that dress! Pack it for me p>
The clerk was put in a difficult position. “But she already said she wanted to buy it p>
“Has she paid for it?” Heather asked in an unfriendly tone.
After a moment’s hesitation, the attendant replied, “Not yet p>
“Only payment confirms a sale. Heather is a VIP customer here. You should do as she told you just now!” Bella, ever eager to please, immediately spoke up. She glared at the clerk and added, “Have you forgotten who Heather is? If you don’t serve her well, you could be fired p>
Cold sweat broke out on the clerk’s forehead. She began to tremble. Everyone in the city knew how powerful the Norman family was. Heather was Brock Norman’s favorite granddaughter. The clerk couldn’t afford to end up on her bad side; she needed this job.
In contrast, she had no idea who Annabel was. She decided it was safer to offend Annabel rather than Heather.
Summoning her courage, the clerk walked up to Annabel and said, “Miss, you have to take off the dress. It has been bought p>
A sarcastic smile appeared on Annabel’s face. “Didn’t I just tell you I wanted to buy it?” she asked calmly.
“But p>
As the clerk struggled to find the right words, Bella strode over and snapped, “Heather likes this dress. Take it off now p>
“Is this some kind of joke?” Annabel threw her head back and laughed. “I took a fancy to this dress first, and I said I wanted to buy it first. Don’t you know that shopping is first come, first served p>
“Can you even afford to buy this dress?” Bella snapped. “Do you know how much it’s worth? You are poor, yet so arrogant p>
“It’s none of your business whether I can afford it or not.” Ignoring Bella, Annabel picked up the black card and said to the clerk, “Please charge my card for it p>
Heather’s eyes widened when she saw the card.
Feel the thrill at
She recalled that Rupert had a card like this one.
Such bank cards were rare treasures. Even Heather didn’t have one. How did Annabel have one?
Rupert must have given his to her!
At the thought of how good Rupert was to Annabel, Heather wanted to strangle her to death right then and there.
Envy burned in her heart again. She grabbed the clerk’s hand just as she was about to take the black card and said arrogantly, “I’ll pay double for it p>
With her arms folded, Annabel frowned at Heather.
She wondered if Heather was stalking her.
Why did she bump into her in this store, of all the luxurious stores in Douburgh? What a small world.
Annabel raised her eyebrows and said, “Heather, have you ever heard of first come, first served? I declared my intention to buy this dress first, so it’s mine. I won’t hand it over to you even if you pay millions for it p>
“You, hillbilly? You don’t deserve this dress!” Heather glared at Annabel fiercely. In her opinion, dresses like this weren’t for just anyone.
They were for wealthy and sophisticated women like her. Heather already pictured herself in it. She felt that she would look more beautiful than Annabel in the dress. Perhaps Rupert would fall in love with her if he saw her wearing it.
