Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 812

Chapter 812 

The staff could not help but chip in, “Not just in the city, miss. The whole planet!” 

A scowl appeared on Esme’s face upon hearing that. “What do you mean by that?! Are you mocking me?!” 

“No, we’re talking about zombies.” Sophia leaned on the display table and flicked her hair alluringly as she sized Esme up in disdain. 

“Or perhaps… Miss Thomas, do you harbour ill intent all day long? If you don’t, you wouldn’t think others are badmouthing you when you overhear their conversations.” 

Sophia had a sharp tongue. Her words miffed Esme to the point of losing her words. 

“Okay, come on now, Sophia. Let’s not get too teasy.” Fia tapped on Sophia’s hand and took a good look at her necklace via the mirror. 

It was indeed her design. And it was selling really well too! Although Conrad had gifted her a set of jewelry that were designed by her, they were not branded with Maxwell Corporation’s trademark. So it was quite a fun experience buying her own work that had the company’s trademark in a store. 

“I’d like to purchase this. Thank you,” Fia said to the staff. 

“Certainly. Would you like me to wrap it in a box for you?” the staff asked politely. 

Fia caressed the necklace before looking at the one that Sophia took down from her neck earlier. 

“Would you kindly wrap the one that I wore earlier?” 

“My pleasure, miss.” The staff then took the necklace and began wrapping. 

“I was the one who saw it first.” Esme looked at Fia dejectedly. “You shouldn’t cut the queue like that, Fia.” 

The staff was speechless when she heard that. Did she not just say that she did not like that necklace? So why would she want to fight over it with someone who actually liked it? 

“Oh, you like it?” Fia smiled and said, “But I like it too.” 

She then turned to the staff and asked, “Is there another one?” 

“My apologies, miss. These flagship luxurious necklaces are a premium collection and thus they are limited in numbers. This necklace is the last of our stock. And due to it being a limited, premium collection, we will not be restocking it,” the staff replied. 

“Pity.” Fia smiled at Esme, “Although you saw it first, you gave up on purchasing it earlier. And I happened to lay my eyes on it after you decided that you didn’t want it. So I’m afraid it’s mine now.” 

“But I wanted to try it on just now too.” Esme raised her voice pitifully, trying to attract at crowd that would take her side. 

Sophia said scornfully, “There are surveillance cameras in the premises, you know. We can replay what you said about it just now too, if you want. You said you don’t like the necklace 

and even insulted its designer! Yet you changed your mind right after someone else picked it up! What’s the matter with you? How moody and indecisive! Are you on menopause or something?” 

Esme’s heart almost stopped when she learned about the surveillance cameras. Fia was Conrad’s wife and this store was Maxwell Corporation’s property. It was quite likely that Fial could get her hands on the surveillance footage via her husband’s connections. 

“Sigh. It’s fine. If you like it so much, you can have it, Fia,” Esme said, pretending to be generous. 

Sophia wanted to retaliate further but Fia pulled her hand lightly and stopped her.
