How could the manager not hear the disdain in Anya's tone? While the manager's smile didn't falter, the warmth had faded away from her voice. "Since you think the outfits here are below you, please check out the other shops.”
The manager was implicitly kicking her out of the store.
Of course, Anya understood the message, and she was furious about being kicked out.
However, she knew that things were different now. Currently, she couldn't even afford to offend the branch manager of some insignificant brand.
And so, all she could do was swallow her anger, and she scoffed coldly. "Fine, I'll go. There's nothing much your brand can offer anyway.”
"Our sincere apologies," the manager replied with a fake smile.
In the end, Anya wheeled her way out of the store with her lips pursed tightly together.
The manager watched her leave with scorn in her eyes.
In her time as the branch manager of this shop for the past few years, she had met all sorts of people. However, it was her first time encountering someone as crazy as Anya.
She would love to see how long Anya's arrogance could last, for Anya was arrogant beyond belief.
One day, someone would teach her a lesson!
After Anya’s departure, the manager calmly turned around and walked toward the dressing room.
Just as the manager arrived at the dressing room, the door opened.
Then, Sonia walked out dressed in a beautiful blue off-shoulder diamond-embellished dress with a mermaid tail.
The moment she stepped out of the dressing room, it was as if the world lit up.
The manager inhaled sharply as awe was painted on her face. "Miss Reed, you're out of this world.”
There was no attempt to disguise the admiration in the manager's eyes as she scanned Sonia up and down.
In the manager's opinion, Sonia might be beautiful, but she wasn't the most beautiful kind of girl. In fact, she had seen women prettier than Sonia.
However, none of those women had ever awed the manager as much as Sonia did.
Also, the manager could tell there was something unique about the way Sonia carried herself. There was something about her air that other ladies didn't have. Perhaps it was because Sonia had been through too much and carried too many secrets with her.
Not only that, the mermaid tail dress had the same aura as Sonia. Hence, it complemented Sonia so naturally that her beauty amazed everyone who saw her.
When Sonia heard the manager's praises and felt her admiring gaze, Sonia blushed with embarrassment. "You're too kind.”
"No, no, Miss Reed," the manager said, hurriedly shaking her head. "I'm speaking the truth. You're beautiful. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself.”
The manager then pointed at the full-length mirror nearby.
Sonia turned to look at where the manager pointed and saw herself reflected from head to toe.
Upon seeing herself in the mirror, Sonia paused in surprise. She could scarcely believe that the woman in the mirror was her.
She... She was indeed quite the beauty!
The realization made Sonia's heart race, as she slowly walked over to the mirror to carefully look at her reflection.
She then realized the more she looked at herself, the more beautiful she was.
Humans were creatures who appreciated beauty, and she was no different. Anyone would be stupefied to see an astonishingly beautiful version of themselves.
Hence, she was similarly stupefied.
It wasn't like she had never worn a pretty dress before, but she had never looked as beautiful.
However, she had no idea why that was.
Nevertheless, none of that mattered. What was important was that she was beautiful.
At that thought, Sonia smiled at her reflection. Due to the gentle and warm nature of that smile, her beauty increased.
"Well, Miss Reed?" The manager walked over to stand beside Sonia. "Isn't the dress heavenly?”
"It's quite nice," Sonia replied with a nod and a smile.
"Your beauty will be even more out of this world if you wear some nice make-up, a few matching accessories, style your hair, and change into a matching pair of heels.”
Sonia chuckled. "That's not a bad idea.
