As a woman herself, she had a natural sensitivity to this kind of thing.
But Jane Sterling was also afraid of a misunderstanding, so she observed him for a moment from behind. If the man panned his camera around, he might just be filming the LV store’s interior.
But if he only filmed that one woman, his intentions would be crystal clear.
So, she quietly watched his phone screen and confirmed that the man was, in fact, filming the woman.
Still, Jane Sterling didn’t immediately rush forward to stop him.
’What if they’re together?’
So she feigned ignorance and casually walked over to Cecilia Sterling’s side.
At that moment, the sales associate was asking Cecilia Sterling if the top was comfortable and if she needed a different size.
Cecilia Sterling was quite pleased with how it looked. She was startled when someone suddenly crowded into the reflection beside her.
Thinking the other woman wanted to use the mirror, Cecilia Sterling instinctively shuffled to the side. But unexpectedly, the woman leaned in and whispered, "Miss, there’s a man behind you filming you. I was standing behind him and saw it clearly. Is he with you?"
Cecilia Sterling didn’t even have to turn around; she could see the man in the mirror’s reflection.
He had a weaselly face and a lecherous smirk playing on his lips.
Cecilia Sterling’s expression darkened slightly. "No, I don’t know him."
"Do you want to call the police, then? He has a video of you on his phone."
It wasn’t an explicit video, but the thought of a creep like that having a video of her on his phone was disgusting enough.
The next second, Cecilia Sterling spun around, her eyes locking directly onto the man.
The man was clearly startled. A flicker of panic crossed his face before he quickly closed the camera app and opened another, pretending to be playing on his phone.
Cecilia Sterling took a deep breath, glanced at the sales associate beside her, and suddenly asked, "Are you straight, or... one of the girls?"
"Pfft..." At her side, Jane Sterling couldn’t help but snort with laughter.
The sales associate was taken aback for a second but quickly recovered. "I’m straight, Miss Sterling."
Cecilia Sterling nodded. ’As long as he’s straight.’ The pervert looked to be just over 1.7 meters tall, while her sales associate was 1.8 meters. That was reassuring.
"Come with me," Cecilia Sterling said to the associate, striding toward the man.
The man saw her approaching in his peripheral vision and knew he’d been caught. He moved fast, quickly opening his camera app to delete the video. The instant he closed it, Cecilia Sterling was standing before him.
"Hand over your phone!"
Cecilia Sterling held out her hand, her expression grim.
The man feigned confusion, pointing a finger at himself. "Are you talking to me?"
Cecilia Sterling continued to stare him down, her voice firm as she repeated, "Get your phone out!"
Her voice was louder this time, drawing glances from several others in the store.
The man seemed intimidated by Cecilia Sterling’s presence. A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but the thought that he’d deleted the video gave him a surge of confidence. He put on an indignant expression. "Miss, why would you want my phone? I don’t even know you!"
"You were just filming me. If you don’t hand it over, I’m calling the police!"
