Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 140

Seeing that Shirley had placed the clothes back and Molly still looked humble, Eda Mi became even more arrogant. She looked at them from head to toe and asked sarcastically," How did the two of you find the guts to come here in your counterfeit ten a penny rugs? Alas!" Eda Mi suddenly cried and attracted the attention of two shop assistants. One of them had worked with Molly, and she was also usually bullied by Eda Mi. The other one had been transferred here after Molly quit. The two assistants sympathised with Molly and Shirley and went sort out the clothes silently.

Eda Mi took out the clothes that Shirley had placed back and mockingly exclaimed," Oh my god! This is brand new, but now it's torn. It must be your fault. You did it just now..." With this, she looked at Shirley.

Shirley just looked back at Eda Mi indifferently, with a slight smile on her face. Eda Mi suddenly felt her heart miss a beat. However, she pretended to be calm and insisted," The coat is damaged, and... you'll have to compensate for it!"

Suddenly, Molly grabbed the coat out of Eda Mi's hands and gnashed. She tried all her best to inhibit her self-humiliation as she stared at Eda Mi," Oh! Does it split? Is it possible that you purchased defective clothes and are selling them? Has Falloon Mall started stocking such poor quality that their clothes split while still on the shelves?"

In the real sense, Molly was scared, until Eda Mi crossed Shirley's line. Molly couldn't take it lying down. She didn't care how much others mistreated her personally — but trying to humiliate someone else in front of Molly? No! That was unacceptable. At once, she raised her eyebrows and demanded," One more question. Where does it split, as you claim?"

Eda Mi never thought Molly would disprove her so boldly. In the past, she would rather make concessions for peaceful settlement than stir up trouble. Eda Mi was shocked. She took the coat from Molly and began to check it, but she still tried to be dominated in the oppressive air.

After all, Molly once worked here, and she knew such a coat cost an arm and a leg. If the coat really had something wrong, she would in no way afford compensating.

"You'd better check it carefully," said Shirley unflustered. She glanced at Molly and felt very happy. As she had expected, Little Molly was strong and kind-hearted!

"Yes, you'd better check it seriously! If there's nothing wrong, I'll demand an explanation from your shop director!" Molly said angrily.

Their conversations attracted the attention of others. The shop assistant who had sold them the dresses watched with curiosity, wondering what was happening. Obliviously, the whole drama unfolded right in front of Frank and Eric who were inspecting the mall upstairs. Following them was the senior management of Falloon Mall. They all stopped by this scene.

Frank watched in utter silence, hands in his trouser pockets. Eric likewise looked on coldly, indignant at what he saw. The senior management behind them all broke into a cold sweat. No matter who was right and who was wrong, such unprofessional conduct from the shop assistants, especially the assistant store manager, was unacceptable. The service industry was about service to customers with lots of courtesy. What was worse, this had happened in front of the president and vice president of the mall.

It seemed the case downstairs had reached an impasse. Eric turned the corner and went downstairs without saying a word. Then, Frank, together with the rest of the team followed.

"Look, here..." With the Devil's own luck, Eda Mi really found some stitches falling apart in the coat.

Shirley just looked at them slightly and said nothing. She wanted Molly to solve the problem by herself. She felt Little Molly was in essence very proud, but her pride had been killed by the reality.
