Chapter 382: 385: Turns out it’s a Shameless Mistress
This is the usual tactic used by wealthy ladies.
Rowena Gray is not talking nonsense. She has been exposed to the elite circle since she was a child. Wives recruiting mistresses and sisters to get their husbands is simply too common.
“Mother, I understand!”
Milly deliberately puffed out her chest to emphasize her impressive figure. “At the banquet, I will definitely do my best to impress Mr. Lucas. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you!”
Thinking of Aidan Lucas’s deep, cold yet handsome face made Milly yearn to take the initiative to lie under him.
If only she could be held down by that beautiful and unparalleled man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist! What would that feel like?!
Just then, a gentle knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.
“Miss Gray, this is the jewelry that the store manager asked me to bring for you to review. I’m coming in.”
The jewelry store employee was polite, knocking on the door before quietly coming in with a tray in hand.
On the tray lay the two sets of jewelry that Rowena had just set her sights on.
” Where is your store manager? She said she would personally get the jewelry earlier. Why did you come instead?”
Rowena frowned in disdain when the person serving them suddenly changed from the store manager to the employee.
This was blatant negligence towards her!
“Sorry, Miss Gray, our store manager had something urgent come up, so… ”
” What urgent matter? Is there something more important than serving a VIP customer? Call your store manager here. What does she mean by having you serve us now?”
Rowena was used to throwing her weight around outside, even though she was currently short on funds. She still maintained her haughty demeanor when dealing with these employees.
“Miss Gray, our store manager is really inconvenienced right now… ”
“What’s the inconvenience? Go, call her over here!”
“No, it’s really… ”
“Are you going or not? If not, I… ”
“I’m sorry, Miss Gray. The manager had no choice but to attend to a sudden important guest. That’s why she asked me to take care of you…” In the end, the young employee couldn’t hold it in any longer and revealed the truth.
Rowena suddenly stood up from the sofa, furious. “Oh, so you’re all looking down on Rowena Gray! Well, I’d like to see who this honorable guest is!”
Rowena charged out of the room angrily. She had been to this store several times, and there were only three VIP rooms in total.
Without hesitation, she walked to the other two VIP rooms, intending to block the store manager who had dared to neglect her. To her surprise, she found the other two VIP rooms empty.
“I’m really sorry, Miss Gray. Our store manager didn’t mean that… It was arranged by someone higher up…”
The pitiful-looking young employee followed Rowena closely, trying to appease her anger.
But Rowena was used to being domineering and couldn’t swallow her pride now, even though the Gray family’s status had fallen.
Unable to find anyone, she stomped her foot, grabbed Milly’s hand, and stormed off. “Hinph, Milly, let’s go… We’re never coming back to this store again!”
Just as they walked out the door of the VIP room, they bumped into two women led by the store manager, who were coming in.
One of the women was tall and slender, wearing a professional suit, looking smart and capable.
Walking beside her was a woman dressed in a light gray wool skirt and flat boots that made her appear both delicate and petite.
“Lily Gray…” Rowena recognized the woman’s face and suddenly raised her voice.
“Oh, I thought we had some bigshot guest here. So, your store manager is just catering to this shameless mistress?!”
These words were not whispered, loud enough for the store employees and customers outside to hear clearly.
