Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 338

Ever since Cherie started having a crush on Lance, she found that she had no interest in other men — no matter how good-looking or rich they were.

Naturally, she didn't pay them much attention. She almost had something akin to a tunnel vision as far as being loyal to Lance was concerned.

She was nothing like Mindy who was attracted to handsome guys like moth to flames.

"This gentleman accompanied his girlfriend who's now trying on clothes in the fitting room," a female customer next to them whispered to Mindy.

It was not at all surprising how the shoppers quickly noticed the man sitting casually on the sofa. Some of them focused more on him than the clothes on the racks.

Even so, they wanted to remind others that he already had a girlfriend. All they could do was watch him.

"Girlfriend?" Mindy felt a little disappointed. Of course, she was taken.

It was impossible for someone as good-looking as him to be single. Besides, why else would he shop in this store?

"Yes, you probably just got here so you didn't see it. He picked clothes for his girlfriend and told her to try them on. That's why everyone is swooning over him. Not only did he go shopping with her, but clearly, he also knew what clothes suited her best. We're so jealous of her. This kind of boyfriend is so rare!"

Mindy scowled. So he did have a girlfriend, and it wasn't just an assumption. She huffed out a breath.

'Well, let's just forget it then.' Mindy turned away. Anyway, she didn't like him that much especially since she only just saw him. She didn't even know his name.

"Miss Bennet, Miss Carter, you're here," the shop manager greeted the two women as soon as she saw them. She made a beeline for Mindy and Cherie.

"Well, I was told the dress I ordered last week was ready. Take it out and I will try it on," Cherie told her. She got right down to business.

That was the reason she and Mindy came to the shop. The new dress she ordered was already available. She received a call from the manager yesterday. Cherie came to see it and bring it home.

"Miss Bennet, the new dress you ordered is here, but this..." The manager looked at Cherie in embarrassment. She fidgeted with her hands, unable to tell Cherie directly what was going on.

Looking at her flushed face, Cherie figured out that something must have happened — something that was probably bad news for her. "Is there anything wrong with the dress? You clearly told me on the phone that the dress was carefully checked, and you assured me there was no quality problem. That's why I'm here now. What's wrong?"

"Yes, what's going on? Did you find some problem you didn't notice before? If that's the case, you should've made it clear in advance. You shouldn't have waited for us to arrive. So we basically wasted our time coming here. What an awful way to do business." Mindy didn't mince words with the manager. They could've told Cherie on the phone, and they wouldn't have bothered coming here.

"Miss Bennet, the dress is fine. There's no problem with it. But the shop assistant accidentally brought it to the fitting room for another lady to try it on," the manager said slowly. She was afraid to earn the ire of the two.

This kind of stupid mistake happened, and it was hard to put the blame on a particular person. Knowing that Mindy and Cherie were on their way, the manager took out the dress to iron it and make sure it looked perfect. She hung it on the nearest rack and waited for Cherie. She briefly went to the bathroom, but when she came back, the dress was gone. One of the assistants said that a man came in and pointed at it. He gave it to the woman he was with and told her to try it on. The assistant had no idea it was already reserved for someone else.

The manager sweated profusely and didn't know what to do. She was pissed off, but she knew the man wasn't someone to be trifled with. Plus, it would be rude of her to go to the fitting room and take out Cherie's dress. The only thing she could do was to hope that Cherie would be late.

Unfortunately, she arrived on time.

"What?" Cherie couldn't believe what she had heard. She stepped back and glared at the manager, wondering if she was pulling a prank.

How could the manager be so careless as to let someone else try a dress that was already booked to another woman? Why didn't she hide it someplace where other customers could not see it?

"You want to lose your job as manager, is that it? Someone else is trying the dress Cherie ordered. That particular oversight is unforgiveable. How stupid can you get?" Mindy was notorious for her no-nonsense attitude. She was easily upset and wasn't afraid to speak her mind. Now that the manager was clearly at fault, she wouldn't let it go so easily.
