Reborn Rich: Prices Dropped, My Savings Didn't novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Chapter 162: Secretly Photographed?

Cecilia Sterling really hadn’t gotten enough sleep. She didn’t know what was wrong with her lately, but no matter what time she went to bed, she would always wake up at six in the morning.

So she made sure to squeeze in a nap every day. Otherwise, she’d feel groggy and listless for the rest of the day.

She napped again, this time until almost noon. Having forgotten to silence her phone, Cecilia Sterling was jolted awake by a stream of WhatsApp notifications.

Groggy, she picked up her phone and glanced at the screen. A sales associate from LV had sent her a slew of photos from the new fall collection. "Miss Sterling, our new fall collection has arrived. Please take a look and see if there’s anything you like. I can reserve any items for you in advance."

"Or, if you have time today, you can come to the store to pick them out in person. I’ll be here all day."

Cecilia Sterling held her phone, letting her head clear. Instead of replying right away, she tapped on the images from the sales associate and started to browse.

A few of the new items were quite nice. They were her style and would suit her well.

After a moment, she peeked around the dorm room and saw she was the only one there. She typed a message into her dorm’s group chat: "Where did you guys go? I’m thinking of going to SKP for a bit. Want to come?"

Estelle Goodman quickly replied, "Sweetie, you’re awake? Blair and I are shopping over at Clearwell. Why don’t we meet you at SKP?"

Cecilia Sterling saw the message and replied with an "OK" hand emoji. She then sent a quick message to the sales associate to let him know she’d be at the store shortly. Only then did she finally get out of bed to get ready.

After taking a cab to SKP, Cecilia Sterling saw that Estelle Goodman and Blair hadn’t arrived yet, so she headed straight to the LV store on her own.

"Miss Sterling, you’re here."

The sales associate had been waiting for her. As soon as he spotted Cecilia Sterling, he came over to greet her.

Cecilia Sterling nodded with a smile. "I hope I’m not interrupting your lunch break?"

The sales associate laughed. "We work in shifts, so there’s no set lunch break. Right this way, Miss Sterling."

The store was quite busy, likely because the new fall collection had just arrived and the associates had already contacted their top clients to reserve items. Nearly every employee was busy with a customer; no one was idle.

"The shipment came in early yesterday morning. We worked overtime until three a.m. unboxing and organizing the inventory, so we have every style, model, and size fully stocked. I messaged you right away because I wanted you to have first pick. As you know, our individual allocations are quite limited."

Many new seasonal items from luxury brands are limited editions, and the number of pieces allocated to individual sales associates is extremely small. Typically, only a store’s top-performing salespeople can secure these limited-edition items for their clients.

Even for items that aren’t limited edition, popular colors and models are produced in small quantities. The number each associate receives is even smaller, so they prioritize offering them to their top clients to maintain their loyalty.

So, the sales associate wasn’t just flattering her; he was telling the truth.

Cecilia Sterling nodded with a smile. The associate had thought of her, and she had no intention of letting his effort go unrewarded. "I looked at the pictures you sent," she said generously. "There are quite a few pieces I like."

Hearing this, the sales associate beamed. "They look even better in person, Miss Sterling. Please, have a seat in the lounge area. It’s a bit busy today, and there’s a wait for the VIP rooms. Shall we just stay out here?"

Cecilia Sterling nodded. "That’s fine. Here is perfect."

"Excellent. I’ll go bring all the items over for you to look through."

Walk-in customers usually browsed the store on their own, accompanied by an associate.

The clients selecting items in the lounge area were all major customers. Although Cecilia Sterling had only shopped at LV a handful of times, her shopping style had left a deep impression on the sales staff. She bought luxury goods as if they were everyday necessities, without batting an eye.
