“You insist on calling the police, Manager Booth?” Rita raised her eyebrows and landed her eyes on the flamboyant woman.
Euan answered firmly, “I insist!”
But... of course she can choose not to call the police if Tomas would give in.
She really didn’t mind making a big scene out of this. she really had nothing to lose anyway.
She can just blackmail the new comer in the future. Though that new comer was not as sweet as Tomas, he was somewhat handsome.
“Well then, let’s just call the police.” Rita said coolly.
Hearing that Rita was being so blunt, Tomas’ heart nearly skipped a beat. He then just right plunged into the abyss of desperation.
He really took it wrong. He really thought that Rita was helping him out.
“Okay, I will call the police right away.” Euan elongated the tone on purpose to scare Tomas.
But she didn’t know that Tomas had made up his mind to go to the detention center. There was in no way that he would cave in.
Seeing that he wouldn’t give in, Euan’s face darkened more and was about to call the police.
“Wait a moment.” Rita directly cut her sentence.
“I am wondering if the store has the surveillance camera?” Rita landed her eyes on Euan.
Hearing her question, Euan cast a disdainful look at her and sneered inside.
What a naïve girl! She was really a fool.
Which high-end store didn’t have surveillance camera these days?
Not only that it can prevent theft, it can also be used as evidence should anything come up.
She just answered impatiently, “We can talk this later, Manager Brown. I really should call the police first.”
“I’d like to see the security footage one hour before Tomas took the dress.”
Rita’s words were like a bomb that directly hit Tomas and Euan.
Euan was surprised, “What?”
“I said that I want to see the security footage one hour before Tomas took the dress.” Rita repeated.
Euan’s eyes twitched and recalled what nasty things she did to Tomas that day.
She would absolutely lose her face if that video was shown to the public.
While Euan was wondering, Rita had already opened the computer, “The manager’s computer has access to all the security footages in every store, right?”
Seeing that her behavior was to be exposed, Euan panicked.
No!
She can’t let Rita show that video.
How humiliating.
Euan patted on her head and acted like she suddenly thought of something, “Well, I’m really forgetful! I suddenly remembered that I did ask someone to send that dress to dry cleaning that day. Then I must be busy and forgot all about it.”
“Are you sure about that, Manager Booth? We really can’t be sloppy. I think it would be safer for us to look at the security footage. We can’t just wrong a good person, but of course we also can’t let a bad man slide by.” Rita said clearly.
Euan really can’t say there was anything wrong with her words and can just be furious inside, “I’m sure. 100% sure. I asked Tomas to dry clean that dress.”
Other people may can’t tell how reluctant Euan was, Rita knew it perfectly well.
After all, she was forcing Euan to give up what she can easily have at this point.
Though she was unwilling to give this up, she had no choice.
Euan must be afraid that other people would know what gross things she had done to Tomas. So she brought the security footage thing on purpose and Euan really fell for this.
Though Rita knew this perfectly well, she acted confused and asked, “So you wronged Tomas before?”
“Yes...” Euan forced a smile and nodded.
Rita frowned, “Well, Manager Booth, how awkward is this. Considering that we had wronged Tomas before because what you said, you really owe him an apology.”
Apology!
Euan’s face darkened.
She never thought that this accident would pan out this way.
Not only hadn’t she got what she wanted, she had to apologize in public.
