Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 127

The store manager put on a miserable face and pleaded, "Sir, earlier I saw the customer spend two million on the bracelet, so I took the initiative to give her a gift worth over ten thousand.

If that extra money gets transferred out, she won't meet the requirement for the gift. Could you please put in a good word with the boss? Ask him not to make me cover the cost of the complimentary item?"

Her original plan was to secretly siphon off the extra one point eight million at the end of her shift. She would have gladly paid the ten thousand for the gift out of her own pocket then.

Now she was left holding the bag on both ends!

The general manager gave her a long, hard look. "Don't think I don't know what was going through your head. We'll let it slide this time. But you'd better put away any greedy thoughts in the future, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Actually, the boss's assistant had instructed him to come at closing time to see if the store manager would process the transaction honestly.

But this store manager was his wife's cousin. He was the one who had promoted her. He knew her well—she was capable, but she was also greedy.

For the sake of their family ties, he couldn't bear to watch her ruin herself, so he came over early.

As for the complimentary gift, as the general manager, he had the authority to write it off. The boss wouldn't come after him for something so trivial.

Thank God he had strictly forbidden her from telling the other employees that they were related. Otherwise, this would have been much harder to cover up.

The store manager quickly said, "Thank you, sir. I'll definitely be more careful next time. I won't overstep my authority again."

The general manager left after sorting out the paperwork.

The sales associate turned to the manager. "Manager, he is so nice to you. That gift was worth over ten grand."

"He's a very reasonable person. Keep an eye on the store; call me if you need anything."

Thank God her cousin-in-law had the foresight to keep their relationship a secret. Nobody knew they were related. Otherwise, she wouldn't just be losing money today; she might have been fired and slapped with embezzlement charges.

Thank God, thank God!
