Chapter 31: OOPS!
"You do not know who I am?" this time it was Hailee who asked this million-dollar question.
What irony!
Elvina became confused when she heard Hailee's question. Who is she? Elvina thought, looking back at Hailee more closely.
However, she wasn't sure she had seen this girl before nor did she remember seeing her in the media or at parties to which Mrs. Lamos asked her to attend.
Knowing her customers and their backgrounds was one of Elvina's duties, because she must be able to behave properly in front of these socialites and address them properly and establish a good relationship with them.
However, no matter how hard Elvina tried to remember where she had seen this casual girl, she couldn't remember at all.
This girl did look cute, but there were none of the things she wore, which showed that she came from a wealthy family.
"Sorry, but which family are you from?" Elvina asked carefully, she didn't want to offend important customers because of her ignorance, this matter will only end badly and become more complicated.
Hailee really didn't like questions like this. This incident made Hailee remember how her parents strongly disapproved of Hailee being friends with Ian because the young man did not have a good social status and background.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut, now that Hailee thought about it, her parents' dislike was one of Aileen's persuasions. Her stepsister was really good at manipulating other people. Hailee should have realized this sooner ...
"I came from the city R," Hailee replied casually. She was still sitting on the sofa for which Ariana started a fight with her.
In truth, Hailee wouldn't have been so stubborn as to defend her seat if only Ariana had asked her with kind words, but sadly she didn't have a polite enough vocabulary.
And at this point, Hailee didn't want to budge at all. As someone who was always pampered by her parents and the people around her, Hailee maintains a tough character when she had made up her mind.
"Oh, city R?" Ariana said scornfully and laughed sarcastically as she raised her eyebrows in contempt.
Hearing Hailee's answer, Elvina could also breathe a sigh of relief. City R is indeed a big city, but of course it couldn't be compared to city A.
And of course there are not as many successful business families there as in city A. Therefore, Elvina quickly took a stand.
"Miss, please move to another seat," Elvina said, this time the tone of her voice sounded more firm and demanding.
"Since I'm not from city A, then I have to change seats?" Hailee snorted sarcastically, she folded her arms and straightened her back, still not wanting to get up from the sofa. "Is that how it works in this place?"
Elvina had a cold face, the expression she usually used when she had to face third-class customers who demanded to be treated like a VIP.
"This sofa is only for VIP customers," Elvina replied again, staring at Hailee unfriendly.
"But, there is no sign that this sofa is only for VIPs. After all, for VIP customers, shouldn't you have a special room to handle them?" Hailee tried to remember her experience when she went with her mother to a boutique similar to this.
Although, the designer was still in a distant class when juxtaposed with Margaretha Lamos, but there, as a VIP customer, her mother will always get special treatment and a separate room with a staff who caters to her wishes.
On the other hand, Elvina was a little surprised when Hailee pointed out about this. It was true, every VIP customer will be placed in a special room.
"Why?" Hailee grinned triumphantly as she realized that what she said was true. "Am I wrong?"
At this point Ariana had run out of patience, she was really annoyed with this girl in front of her. As a core member of the Bell family, Ariana was accustomed to getting everything she wanted easily and was not very tolerant of other people, this was exacerbated by her parents who always comply with all her wishes without exception.
"Get up from that sofa right now!" whisper-shouted Ariana as she widened her eyes ferociously at Hailee.
And unexpectedly, Hailee actually stood up and moved sideways, away from the sofa.
What Hailee did, was enough to surprise Elvina, she thought this girl would continue to complicate things, but it turned out she knew when to budge.
Unfortunately, Elvina's guess was wrong.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"If you really want to sit on the sofa I've been sitting on, just say so." Hailee smiled so sweetly at Ariana and Elvina. "I'll give it to you with pleasure."
Hailee's words seemed to indicate that she had given the seat voluntarily and Ariana should be grateful for that.
And, of course this successfully ticked off the young woman even more, especially when she saw Hailee walking away with leisurely steps, as if she was laughing at her secretly.
"You! Stay there!" Shouted Ariana again. She walked toward Hailee in long strides. "Where are you going!?"
Hailee turned around just in time when Ariana was right in front of her.
"I told you that VIP customers get a special room and I want to go there." Hailee shrugged her shoulders, as if to say; Why, you don't even know this? "What else do you want? Do you also want to take my room? Have you become obsessed with everything that has to do with me?" Hailee asked with an innocent face.
"What?" Ariana widened her eyes in disbelief. How could a girl from a suburb like this manage to twist her words to such an extent?! From the way she spoke, what was Ariana doing now, sounded like she was a stalker!?"You really need to be taught a lesson!"
Ariana Bell, the second daughter of the Bell family, is a very short tempered person. It was very, very easy to ignite her anger. Like really easy!
Thus, without thinking, she raised her hand, intending to slap Hailee.
Luckily, Hailee had read her intention first, so she could easily move away, but because Ariana didn't expect that Hailee would quickly dodge her, she lost her balance easily, especially when she chose to stand on twelve-inch high heels today of all days.
Ariana willed herself to steady her footing, half screaming in panic.
But once she succeeded after swaying to and forth for few seconds, Hailee pushed her lightly, but it was enough to nearly knock her down.
"Oops," said Hailee.
