If my husband comes home late from work, the lingerie definitely won’t be sexy.
So, after July Quinn entered the store, she quickly picked out a few styles she thought were nice and even took a picture of one of them.
She sent the photo to the number Kyle Keaton had previously saved for her, and alongside it, she sent a text message.
[Honey, if you want to see me in this set, come home early tonight.]
But after the message was sent, it was like a stone dropped into the sea, and she received no reply for a long time.
Instead, a sales clerk approached with a disdainful expression.
"This set is worth twenty thousand. If you’re going to buy, then buy. If not, leave quickly and stop taking photos here."
Sales clerks in this kind of specialty store tend to judge customers by their appearance.
If you’re dressed head to toe in designer brands, even if you just come in to use the restroom, they’ll treat you like royalty.
But if you’re dressed plainly, even if you’re looking to make a purchase, they can’t be bothered to talk to you.
Thus, seeing July Quinn dressed ordinarily, the sales clerk started to bully her.
"Twenty thousand? Doesn’t the tag say two thousand?" July Quinn was a bit puzzled. This update is available on noveⅼfire.net
"Our boss said there’s a temporary price hike."
As the sales clerk spoke, she glanced towards a certain corner.
Following her gaze, July Quinn saw Holly Holt.
"July, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon."
Holly Holt stepped forward to greet her.
Maybe from spending too much time with Nina Quinn, she had also picked up on Nina’s Versailles pretentiousness.
"This is a little shop my fiancé opened just for me. Even though I’m busy with my studies, he insisted I should have a side business, saying it’s good for girls to have something of their own. It’s really a headache."
So that’s the jerk who dated Vivian Lynn for ten years that opened it for her?
However, on the surface, July Quinn didn’t show it. She just asked, "I’m not interested in your troubles, I just want to know why there’s a sudden price hike?"
"I just feel like you’re not worthy of wearing what I sell, so I deliberately raised the bar a bit. Besides, you don’t have a man, so what’s the use of wearing such sexy lingerie, right?"
In fact, the moment Holly Holt saw July Quinn in the store, she texted Nina Quinn, boasting she’d help Nina vent her anger.
Who knew July Quinn would smile and retort, "How do you know I don’t have a man?"
While you and Nina Quinn are still shyly showing off your relationship, I’ve already become your elder, ready to teach you how to behave.
It’s just that her elder status is still not solidified, so July Quinn didn’t say the latter part out loud.
"You’ve got a man? Who is it?" It couldn’t be Brother Nathan again, could it?
Holly Holt frowned slightly.
But July Quinn didn’t respond to her and directly asked, "Can it be discounted?"
"No! If you can’t afford it, then leave."
The thought of July Quinn being involved again with Brother Nathan made Holly Holt dislike her even more.
"Then I must buy it." July Quinn pulled out a bank card and handed it to the sales clerk, "Check out."
The sales clerk was a bit stunned and looked towards Holly Holt: "Boss, shall we sell it?"
After all, Holly Holt had just said that July Quinn wasn’t worthy of wearing their stuff.
Unexpectedly, Holly Holt looked at July Quinn with a mocking expression.
"Sell it! How can you not earn money that’s handed to you?"
With her consent, the sales clerk quickly completed the transaction and deducted the payment.
Soon, the packed lingerie and receipt were delivered to July Quinn’s hands.
At this point, Holly Holt thought she’d successfully played a trick on July Quinn and made money off her, getting the better deal.
But little did she know, right after July Quinn took the items, she immediately dialed a number.
"Hello, is this the Price Bureau? I’d like to report someone for randomly hiking prices, a tenfold increase..."
