Hearing Dane’s words, Baron’s eyes sharpened.
Afraid that things would get out of hand, Tracy took Baron’s hands and somewhat pleaded, “Come on, darling. Don’t let some random people barge into our tender moment.”
This was the first time Tracy had called him “darling”. A shaken Baron looked at Tracy’s pleading eyes and his rage dissipated instantly.
He simple stared coldly at Dane and turned back to Tracy. “Let’s go back to our clothes.”
Patti watched Tracy walk off with Baron and a bit of mischief grew in her eyes.
“Hello, what can I do for you today?”
Baron and Tracy had just walked up next to the display case when a manager in uniform walked over, wearing a professional smile.
Tracy pointed at the glass display case to the trench coat on the mannequin, saying, “I’d like this coat for my husband to try, please!”
The manager said apologetically, “Sorry, miss, this is our latest trench coat, you can’t try it on.”
The coat did look nice, especially on the mannequin, paired with slim trousers and gentleman-style leather shoes. It cut a dashing figure.
The more Tracy looked at it, the more she liked the coat. Looking back to Baron, she just felt like it’d fit him so well.
“If we can’t try it, then we’ll buy it right here!”
Tracy said decisively, bringing out her credit card.
“All right, then!”
The manager was slightly moved.
The coat had been on display for several days, but it was expensive. Not one of the many onlookers it’d gathered had been willing to buy it after learning the price.
“Honey, I think that coat’s pretty nice. Fits your figure perfectly. How about we buy it?”
Patti’s voice rang out. She squeezed in front of Baron and Tracy.
The manager stood there awkwardly. “Very sorry, but this trench coat is limited sales. We’ve only got one, and that madam has already bought it.”
“They haven’t paid yet, have they?”
Patti snorted.
Tracy had taken a liking to the coat from outside already. Patti’s sudden intrusion enraged her.
Dane was about one meter seventy at most. It didn’t fit him at all. Patti was just trying to one-up her here.
Patti had been jealous of Tracy’s beauty in college and fought Tracy for everything. It had been five years after graduation and nothing had changed.
“You’re going too far, Patti!”
Tracy couldn’t hold it back and said angrily.
Patti leered. “How am I going too far? Is this your store now? Besides, we’d come to this store first and we’d taken a liking to the coat already. We just walked around and we’re paying now. What’s it got to do with you?”
“Is that how it is?”
Tracy looked at the manager besides her.
Before the manager could reply, Patti added, “It wasn’t her; it was some other manager.”
“Which manager was it, madam? If you’ve already made an agreement to buy the coat, it’s yours.”
The manager kept her professional smile as she asked Patti.
“What does that have to do with you? Mind your business, won’t you?”
Patti glared harshly at the manager.
The manager’s face changed slightly, but she kept a forced smile on her face and said politely, “We’ve got rules in this store, miss. If no one’s agreed to buy a piece with a manager, anyone has the right to buy from us.”
Hearing the manager say that, Patti switched tactics and sneered. “Tracy, don’t fight with me over this. Know what store this is? This is Versace. Look around, see if you can find a piece of clothing here that isn’t worth tens of thousands.
