Chapter 458
The sales associate lit up. She loved straightforward customers like this.
“Of course. Please give me a moment and I’ll get it wrapped for you
“You’ve got great taste, by the way. That dress is one of our newest arrivals and also our best–seller. This is actually the last one we have in stock,” she added with a smile.
Just as she was about to remove the dress from the mannequin, a couple walked into the boutique.
The woman was heavily made up and dressed to turn heads–spaghetti strap crop top, ultra–short denim skirt, curves on full display.
“Honey, I love that dress. Will you buy it for me?” she said sweetly pointing right at the same blue dress Charlotte had just picked out.
The man chuckled. “Sure. If you like it, it’s yours.”
Without missing a beat, he barked at the sales associate, “Hey! Wrap that one up for us.”
The saleswoman’s smile faltered for a split second, clearly annoyed at being addressed like a waitress.
But she quickly composed herself, replying politely, “I’m sorry, sir, but this customer already picked that dress. It’s the last one we have. But we do have other new arrivals that are just as lovely if you’d like to take a look.”
“I want that one,” the woman snapped, her tone turning cold.
The man turned to look at Charlotte and his eyes lit up.
“What a stunning woman!” he thought.
Her figure was incredible, and her face looked completely natural no surgery, no filters. Compared to the heavily made–up gir beside him, she was on a whole different level.
Still, he wasn’t about to lose face in front of his own girlfriend. Even if he was tempted, he couldn’t show it now.
Straightening up, he said to Charlotte, “We want that dress. You should pick something else.”
He pulled out his wallet and handed her a thick wad of cash. “Here. Take this.‘
Charlotte let out a cold laugh. “I saw it first. I’m not giving it up.”
The man frowned, then noticed the handbag hanging from her arm. Until now, he had been too distracted by her face and figure to notice. But now that he got a closer look, he recognized the logo.
That bag wasn’t cheap.
A woman carrying something like that clearly wasn’t going to be swayed by a few bills.
He chuckled and withdrew the cash, switching tactics.
“My girlfriend really likes that dress. Would you consider selling it to us? Name your price–I’m willing to pay.”
Charlotte’s eyes turned icy. “No.”
Beside him, the woman scoffed loudly. “You’ve got the nerve to walk around with a fake bag? That’s just embarrassing.”
She sneered at Charlotte’s handbag. “That model doesn’t even exist on the brand’s official site. If you’re going to buy counterfeits, at least do your homework. Save yourself the humiliation.”
“A fake?” The man took another look at the bag Charlotte was carrying.
He hadn’t paid much attention earlier. He was too busy staring at her face and figure but now that he looked closer, he couldn’t
see anything off about it. The texture looked high–end, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
“Yeah, honey,” the woman said with a sneer. “I check the brand’s website all the time. That style doesn’t even exist. No clue where she got that knockoff. It’s honestly laughable.”
She shot Charlotte a look full of disdain and added with a mocking smile, “You’ve clearly never owned anything authentic in your life. Let me guess–you bought some random bag and don’t even know what brand it is? Like those people who buy minmin‘ thinking it’s the same as Miu Miu. Pathetic.”
