Chapter 135
The sales attendant looked at Winter in disbelief when she heard this. “Miss, what you said isn’t quite right. Mr. Hoffman saw these shoes first, and you haven’t paid yet, so it’s only fair I give them to Mr. Hoffman.
*Besides, no matter who you are, everyone is a customer to me. Should I give you special treatment just because you’re someone important?”
“You…” Winter was at a loss for words after being blocked by the assistant’s response. As the eldest daughter of the Shaw family, she was used to people granting her wishes. Her fans. treated her like a treasure, yet this small–time sales attendant dared to speak to her like this.
