Vicky took out a contract from her bag. "To express our sincere apology, we'll compensate you with double the deposit amount."
It was the standard procedure to compensate the customer double the deposit amount they had paid. Since they were in the haute couture industry, most of their customers were the rich and famous. They had to handle them carefully so they would not offend any customers.
Cece had told her the customer Vicky was meeting, Mister Shear, was a very troublesome customer. When Jennifer went to take his measurement, he tried to take advantage of her all the time.
Mister Shear had his eyes fixated on Vicky's pretty and fair face.
"Double the deposit amount?" He raised his chin high proudly. "Do I look like a person desperate for money?"
"I'm really sorry, Mister Shear," said Vicky smilingly with a gentle attitude. "We'll do our best to see through any of your requests."
This was not the first customer she met and not the first who refused to settle easily, but they were willing to settle with her because she was willing to pay the compensation fee as well as give them a gold member card that entitled 80-percent discount on women's haute couture.
After all, they were in the service line. If it was not necessary, she never wanted to cross the customer.
All of a sudden, Mister Shear smiled. He extended his hand out to grab Vicky's hand that she had placed on the table.
"Miss Shaw, you're very pretty. Are you interested in being my woman? I can give you everything, car, house, and money," he remarked.
Vicky's face looked troubled as she withdrew her hand away.
There was a reason for her to meet with Mister Shear in the restaurant; she wanted to avoid Mister Shear trying to take advantage of her. Who knew he would reveal his true self so fast out in public when they had just started their conversation?
Mister Shear gripped her hand tighter when he saw Vicky withdrawing her hand. "What do you want? Ask me of anything, any amount of money that you want—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a female voice came from behind.
"Vicky?"
