And now in the backstage dressing room.
“What’s the matter? Why can’t my dress be delivered? How the hell do you guys do this? Wasn’t it agreed to be delivered on this hour of the day?”
A group of people were scolded by Kate and dare not speak. They just stood there lowering heads.
“Are you dead? Or deaf? Or dumb? Say something, what’s going on?”
“Well, we don’t know what happened. It has been agreed to be delivered today, but...”
“But what?”
“But the dress has been bought, so...”
“It has been bought? What do you mean?” Kate widened her eyes, “I booked that dress, why has it been bought?”
“Kate, when you asked us to order that dress, you only ordered it verbally, and you didn’t pay for it, so...”
Hearing that, Kate angrily slapped her hand on the table, “Just because I didn’t pay the money, so they don’t send it to me? It is outrageous. I am popular in showbiz, will I refuse to pay them the money? You go and tell the person in charge to come and see me.”
“Miss James, stop yelling.”
A man’s voice rang out. A man in a blue suit walked in with a steady step, with one hand in his pocket. He was the head of the brand.
“Eason! You’re here in time. Explain to me what happened. Why didn’t the dress I ordered come to me today? Do you know the press conference is about to start?”
Eason raised his eyebrow, “Your people have made it clear to you. You gave us no money, only a verbal order, and we didn’t promise to deliver it to you.”
Hearing that, Kate stood up angrily.
“What do you mean by that? Do you think I won’t pay for it? Why do you refuse to deliver it? Where is the dress now?”
“Bought buy something with a high price with full payment.” Eason said with a gentle smile.
Kate’s agent stepped forward.
“Eason, you went too far. Since you can’t send it, why don’t tell us in advance? It is impossible that Kate could not afford a dress.”
“Well…” Eason raised his eyebrow and looked innocent, “Miss James is even not willing to pay 20 percent of the deposit, it is hard to believe that you will pay the full amount. After all, these are new products, if something happens and we try to sell them, they will be completely worthless. And I remember our people have told you that there is no guarantee that the dress will get to you without a deposit.”
Kate, “... So you’re just not responsible now?”
“Why should we be responsible for a verbal order? Kate, do not give pressure to others relying on you are popular.”
Kate was angry and tried to move forward with her teeth gnashed, but was stopped by her agent.
The agent was helpless, “What should we do now? You did not inform us in advance, and we have not got the dress ready. What do you want her to wear?”
“That’s your business, not ours. I just came to tell Miss James that it was your fault and our company will not take any bad comments.”
“You!” Kate was angry with her teeth gnashed, “Are you not afraid of me exposing what your company did.”
“If you are a wise man, you won’t do so. Offending a big brand is not rational. Your behavior will only make other big brands reject you.”
Then he left soon after the confrontation.
