Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 288

Before Priscilla could finish, Eileen cut her off sharply. "Don't you know my rules? How many times have I been here? Do you know who I am?"

She lifted her chin, her tone dripping with arrogance.

"Don't forget, I'm your VVIP client. I want the place cleared immediately."

Hannah forced a smile and said, "Yes, of course, you're one of our most important clients.

"Every time you visit, we do arrange a private space for you..."

She hesitated, her expression turning awkward as she continued carefully.

"But today is a little different. That lady is also a very important guest of ours, so...

"I'm really sorry, Ms. Schuman, but we can't do that this time."

It was the first time Eileen had ever been refused like this. Her face tightened instantly. She felt humiliated.

She hadn't been in Grandridge long. Back in her hometown, she had just run a farm.

Even now, she had only recently started mingling with wealthy socialites, and she had never seen Agnes before.

She looked Agnes up and down, her mind already spinning.

Heh. She's young and beautiful, obviously the type who latches onto rich men, spending their money to play the part of a high-society wife.

And someone like that thinks she can stand on equal footing with me?

Eileen had been ready to storm out, but the irritation in her chest wouldn't let her.

She pretended nothing was wrong and walked deeper into the store, with Hannah and Priscilla trailing behind her.

As she browsed, she gradually drifted closer to Agnes.

Every time Agnes reached for something, Eileen would step in first and demand that it be packed immediately.

At first, Agnes didn't notice. After a few times, she realized this woman was clearly targeting her.

She had no idea why. She didn't even know her.

Beside her, Iris lowered her voice.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Sinclair. She's one of our regular clients. She's always like this.

"Please don't take it personally.

"If you're tired, would you like to rest in the VIP lounge?"

Agnes let out a soft laugh. "It's fine. Let her shop. If anything, I'm helping you sell more."

She didn't care whether Eileen was targeting her.

Running Tidewhisper Lily had exposed her to all kinds of difficult customers.
