"It's been so long, my mom probably deleted the transaction record. I doubt we can find it now," Lorna muttered, her voice notably lacking its previous confidence.
"Fine! Even if she deleted it, you can easily retrieve it," Theresa said smoothly. "As far as I know, anyone who buys from LUMEN Studio has their purchase history permanently archived in the system. All you have to do is call their customer service hotline right now. They can pull up the record instantly—who bought it, exactly when they bought it, all the details."
Lorna was completely dumbfounded!
She had never actually purchased anything high-end in her life, so she had no idea a system like that even existed.
The dress hadn't been bought by her, nor her mother.
If they actually made that phone call, her entire lie would be blown wide open.
After a frantic mental calculation, she swallowed the agonizing pain of her ruined dress and forced a magnanimous smile.
"You know what? Forget it. It's just a dress. I really don't care, I have a closet full of them. Theresa, you keep making excuses because you obviously can't afford to pay for it. I'll let it slide this time. Just apologize to me, and we'll call it even," Lorna declared, lifting her chin haughtily.
Theresa's expression was pure disdain. It was blatantly obvious that a certain someone was feeling guilty.
But Charles, her ever-devoted lapdog, wasn't having it.
"Lorna, how can you let her off so easily? Look at how arrogant she's being! Call LUMEN's customer service right now and have them check the records. It's just one phone call. If you don't want to deal with it, I'll call them for you!"
Furious, Charles reached for his phone.
Lorna snatched it out of his hand in a panic. "Don't call them!"
Theresa chuckled. "How can we drop it? We definitely can't drop this. Lorna, you just said it was a precious birthday gift from your mother. Why the sudden change of heart?"
Seeing Theresa aggressively pushing the issue made Lorna's blood boil.
She had already taken a step back to defuse the situation. Why was this bitch still hounding her?
"Theresa, I'm choosing not to pursue this for the sake of office harmony. Why are you acting like this? Do you honestly think I'm a pushover? I'm only doing this to save everyone from an awkward situation. No matter what, you destroyed my property. Everyone saw it. Shouldn't you have to compensate me? Just apologize right now, and I'll let the whole thing go!" Lorna said, adopting a righteous posture.
"Apologize? Not a chance in hell. Why would I apologize to you?"
Charles jabbed a finger at Theresa. "Don't push your luck, Theresa! Our Lorna is being incredibly gracious by not making you pay. She just wants an apology, and you're still acting like this? You are unbelievable!"
