Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 125

Whatever. Someone was offering double the price for the bracelet. This was a massive benefit to her! When she cashed out at the end of the shift tonight, she could deduct the original price of the bracelet and pocket the rest!

The bracelet cost two hundred thousand dollars. Double the price was four hundred thousand. That meant she would make a pure profit of two hundred thousand today!

Two hundred thousand!

Just thinking about it made her heart race!

The way the manager looked at Stella changed entirely. She said respectfully, "Certainly, miss. I will swipe your card right away."

With that, she reached out to take Stella's Black Card.

Una wasn't having it. She blurted out impulsively, "Why are you swiping her card? Do you think I can't afford it? Swipe mine. I'll pay triple the price for this bracelet."

The manager's eyes practically lit up like lightbulbs.

Triple!

She could make four hundred thousand!

She turned to take Una's card, but Stella spoke up again. "No way. I saw this bracelet first. I am buying it today no matter what. I'll pay five times the price. Swipe my card."

The manager's eyes grew even brighter!

Five times!

A million dollars! She could take home eight hundred thousand! She was going to be rich, rich!

Una was so angry with Stella she could practically spit blood. She yelled furiously, "Why do you insist on crossing me? Get the hell out of here if you know what's good for you, or I'll make you regret it!"

"You're the one who can't afford it, so who are you trying to threaten? I think you're the one who should get out. Don't have the cash? Stop pretending to be a big shot."

Una shrieked, "Who are you saying can't afford it? I am the proud daughter of the Lowell family. Can a hillbilly like you compare? I'll pay ten times the price for this bracelet! You, swipe my card right now!"

Besides her eyes shining with greed, the manager's mouth was hanging wide open.

Ten times!

The manager was terrified that her golden goose would fly away. She quickly took the card from Una's hand. "I'll swipe it right away."

She was incredibly efficient. From swiping the card to wrapping the bracelet, it took exactly one minute.

"Ms. Lowell, here is your bracelet, and here is your card. Please take them. Thank you so much for shopping with us. We apologize for the wait earlier. To show our sincerity, please accept this small gift."

The manager picked out the most expensive complimentary item from their promotional stock and handed it to Una.

Una lifted her chin haughtily. "At least you know what's good for you. Recognize me next time. I am the true VIP of your store."

Rhoda echoed, "Exactly. Open your eyes and see who Ms. Lowell is. Any random stray dog who picks up a card off the street doesn't count as a member."

The manager bowed and scraped. "Yes, yes, of course. We will be sure to give Ms. Lowell our most enthusiastic service next time."

Earning such a massive sum today, she would gladly drop to her knees if asked.

To show off her generosity in front of Steward and Stella, Una shoved the manager's gift into Rhoda's hands. "Here, this is for you."
