Chapter 0094
Judy’s POV
“Ugh, you brought your slimy friend with you? This isn’t a thrift store,” the woman hissed. “I’m calling secur-“Before she could finish her sentence, the manager grabbed her arm and yanked her away from us. She nearly fell to the ground from the force.
Her startled eyes darted around the room until they landed on her boss.
“S… sir?” She stammered, trying to recover herself.
“Are you out of your mind?” He growled. “Do you have any idea who that is?”
Irene stepped beside me; her arms folded across her chest and her eyes narrowed at the two of them. She did not look pleased, and I wanted to take a step away from her, unable to take the heat of her aura any longer, but I remained rooted to the ground.

“This is Irene Landry,” he said under his breath, forcing a smile at Irene.
The woman’s eyes grew large at the mention of Irene’s name. She quickly turned to face Irene, bowing her head.
“Miss Landry, I’m so sorry. I didn’t recognize you. It’s such an honor to meet you,” she said, her tone holding a hint of nervousness.
Irene didn’t look amused.

“It wasn’t really you that I was aiming to disrespect,” he woman, Shelly, said, her eyes darting to me.” It was this woman. She doesn’t belong here-”
“This woman happens to be a dear friend of mine,” Irene shot back, making Shelly gasp dramatically. She staggered backward her eyes wide and filled with alarm. “Any disrespect towards her is disrespect towards me as well.”
