106 Causing trouble 

“I don’t have a problem. These people are irritating. Can’t we just get them settled once and for all?” Valen frowned. St upid things like this cannot happen in Country M. River of blood would have washed over the mall already. 1 

“This is Rose City, a little too lawful,” Jeslyn stated as she caressed Valen’s hair. 

She knew why she was being looked down on. The reason she had a clothing store that nobody but her grandfather knew about was that she was disrespected by a salesperson who happened to be the boss’ side chick. 

Angered that the girl wasn’t fired after all the insult and disrespect, Jeslyn bought the company, went to the slum, and took in a person whom the problem of the world had broken, thinking Rita wouldn’t be greedy because she was once betrayed by a friend and understood how much it hurt. 

She could have done a similar thing to this salesperson right now. But she had no money. Jeslyn sighed. 

The other saleslady couldn’t object because Joan was the senior salesperson in the store. Going against her would mean getting fired. Not wanting such trouble upon herself, she handed the card back to Jeslyn, bowed to her, and left.” 

“Miss Youan, please can I have your card now?… You are right on time, the company just established a 30% discount rule on every cloth a customer buys. I can see you bought a lot and also saved yourself a lot of money.” She smiled. 

“No, no, no, please don’t bother about the discount. I’m not shopping for the discount.” Youan smiled shyly. 

“Miss Youan is so generous.” Joan chuckled. 

Jeslyn sighed. “It seems companies these days no longer care about screening their workers. All they do is focus on the money they earn without caring about their business. No wonder many businesses. are failing. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.” Jeslyn turned around, ready to walk out. 

“You-” Joan was about to speak when a man who just walked in interrupted her. 

“Excuse me, Ma’am, please hold on!” 

Jeslyn stopped when the man in front of her said that. She looked up at him and raised a brow. 

“Please, calm down. I’m Mr. Tim, the manager of this place. Do you mind telling me what happened?” The man was polite and his voice sounded so calm that one would think he has never raised his voice before. 

“Oh, it’s nothing. Your salesperson said you don’t sell children’s clothing and directed me to other stores.” Jeslyn said that so innocently that a passerby would think she meant no harm. 

The manager looked around the store. Aren’t these children’s clothing? Or did the lady have a specific taste that they don’t sell here? Probably. 

“Ehm, ma’am, she might have said it wrongly, please forgive her. She meant to say your taste has been sold out. Other stores might have them, so you should look around a little.” The manager said,

believing that was what happened. 

“Oh,” Jeslyn nodded. “I get it now… but, I chose my taste and gave them my credit card but it was given back to me and the clothes I picked are being sold to this lady because your salesperson seemed to be her fan… I heard her say so.” Jeslyn said innocently and shrugged her shoulders. 

The Manager’s face frosted over. He glared at Joan. If looks could kil l, Joan would have lost her life by 

now. 

The manager then smiled at Jeslyn. “We are so sorry for the inconveniences, Ma’am. Please, do not be angry. Joan Chen was wrong. The company will make sure to discipline her for this.” 

‘Oh, so she’s Chen? No wonder she has such awful manners. Just like her worthless family. 

“I’m not angry at all…” Jeslyn sighed. “The clothes I chose for my son are being given to a celebrity, I think I have to go to another store like I was told to.” Jeslyn sighed again while pulling Valen, ready to leave. 

“No, no, no, please wait, ma’am. Since you chose the clothes first, you can have them.” The manager immediately said without thinking. 

Youan was flabbergasted. Her assistant had her head down, pretending she wasn’t there. Joan had long turned jelly looking for a hole to hide ever since the manager came in. 

“Manager Tim, I chose those clothes first, I was about to pay when she got involved,” Youan reported in a sweet voice that could drown a soul in intoxication. 

The assistant and Joan nodded. Manager Tim looked from Youan to Jeslyn. The latter was too calm and cute to cause trouble, however, Youan was a celebrity and must uphold her image in public. Besides this lady looks rich and from an old man’s observation, the lady and her child are richer. 

But then, he has to play fair, or else the store’s image will be ruined, which would include the 

company.
