Picking offense for no reason
Celia definitely knew about Vice City.She was very familiar with it because it was a subsidiary of Phoenix which was owned by John Stone.What does Nessa mean by mentioning Vice City out of nowhere?After noticing the bewilderment in Celia’s eyes, Nessa held onto her boyfriend’s arm and said smugly, “Bill has become the deputy general manager of Vice City at such a young age. Impressive, huh?“He’s here to attend the exchange on behalf of Vice City today! Let me tell you. If you want a boyfriend, you have to get one like mine, right?”As soon as she said that, William immediately had an extraordinary expression on his face.The man with the lewd gaze turned out to be the deputy general manager of Vice City?In fact, William really wasn’t sure who the current deputy general manager of Vice City was since he left control of Phoenix to John and trusted in his judgment. However, it was apparent that some bad eggs had managed to find their way into the company. After hearing what Nessa
A truly vulgar man
Nessa was good at reading people from their body language.As soon as she saw that Celia was displeased, she took the initiative to walk forward, swing Celia’s arm, and say affectionately, “We’re just joking, Celia. I’m not really demanding an apology from him!“Look, you actually took it seriously and got mad at me! We’ve been bosom friends for so many years! Okay, calm down. It’s my fault, so I’ll apologize to you, okay?” Nessa said coquettishly, using the same trick she used to pull on Celia back in high school.Although she was full of disdain, she had just met Celia again after years, and there were still many things she had yet to show off to her.How could she fall out with her at this time?Seeing her best friend acting this way and William shaking his head to indicate to her not to mind, Celia decided not to be bothered about Nessa’s actions.Bill pursed his lips in displeasure, but he didn’t say anything.“Celia, there’s really nothing good in the small stalls here. Why don’
Emerald Garden once again
“Wow, there are so many people here!” Celia exclaimed.She had been to the stadium before, but she had never seen such a crowded situation. It was almost like a New Year’s celebration.“Haha, today is a special day after all! Let’s go directly to the Emerald Garden shop. The things there are high-end, and most people can’t afford to go there, so there will probably be fewer people. We can go straight to the fourth floor to take a look. All the good stuff is there!”Nessa pulled Celia and walked straight toward the Emerald Garden, appearing familiar with it..But after taking a few steps, Nessa suddenly remembered something and turned around to look at Bill.She said coquettishly, “Honey, I accidentally chipped the more than two-hundred-thousand-dollar emerald pendant you bought for me from here…”“Ahem, is that so?” Bill coughed twice, and his eyes flickered slightly, but he still said generously, “Isn’t it just a two-hundred-thousand-dollar pendant? I’ll get you a new one later!”“Wo
A silly woman indeed
“Dear customers, welcome.” A soft and tender female voice sounded, and a young woman dressed in the Emerald Garden’s standard uniform with a ‘general manager’ nameplate pinned to her chest walked over.When she saw William among the four of them, she immediately beamed with joy and surprise. “Mr. Bel…”Before she could greet William, she stopped because she had already noticed him shaking his head slightly at her, indicating for her not to reveal his identity.This woman was Jane, whom William had met in the Emerald Garden yesterday.She was initially only a trainee sales assistant. But due to her excellent performance and William’s request yesterday, she was promoted to the general manager of the Emerald Garden.Thus, William naturally became her benefactor.Jane was a smart person to begin with.As soon as she saw William’s gesture, she knew what his intentions were and immediately pretended not to know him.Instead, she started serving Nessa and the others.“Do you have anything yo
Making false promises
‘Does she really think I’m so rich that I’d just casually give her jewelry that costs several hundred thousand every now and then?... She should take a look at her face and ask herself if she’s worth that much!’Bill cursed his heart out at Nessa in his head, wondering what kind of reason he should use later to refuse to buy the things she picked.But he happened to hear her exclaiming happily.“Honey, look at this emerald pendant. The quality of the emerald is so much better than the one you gave me before! It’s so beautiful! I want it. It costs only around 1.4 million!”Nessa pointed at an extremely lustrous and translucent pendant, which was obviously made of top-quality emerald, in the middle of the display case.Her face was full of excitement.“Uh… this isn’t that nice. It doesn’t suit your skin tone at all,” Bill said with a frown.“Is that so? Honey, do you think it’s unsuitable because my skin is nicer than this piece of emerald? Hehehe. I know you like my fair and tender ski
Breaking a vase
Jane thought that Bill was displeased to learn that there was no auction, so she explained further, “Sir, I can confirm that there are no plans for an auction after both exchanges today.“But there are Emerald Garden exhibition halls set up in the venues of both exchanges. The items there are similar to the ones in our store, except that the prices of the items in the exhibition hall are slightly more expensive than the prices in our store out of consideration for the venue fees and other reasons. If you’d like to get anything, it’s more cost-effective to buy it in our store,” Jane said, fulfilling her duty.Bill’s face turned even uglier, and his eyes were about to burst with anger.Celia had been invited to the ordinary business exchange so she was extremely clear that there indeed wouldn’t be an auction after the exchanges.If there really was one, then it would have been advertised early on so that those interested would be able to prepare for it in advance.At this moment, even C
Punk, what are you doing?
Not only did Nessa not apologize for accidentally breaking something in the Emerald Garden, but she was even nonchalant and behaved like the store was receiving a huge advantage from her. “…” Bill was incredibly gloomy. If he could, he really wanted to slap the foolish Nessa several times on her mouth! If she hadn’t walked without watching where she was going, he wouldn’t have to compensate such a large amount for nothing. He even had the impulse to leave right away. But when he noticed that Celia was still looking at him and that the guests around him seemed to be figures of status, he felt that it would be extremely embarrassing if he met them on any other occasion in the future. He couldn’t afford to be that embarrassed. After thinking about it for a long time, Bill finally took out a bank card from his pocket with great reluctance and said through gritted teeth, “Swipe this card!” Jane walked over and was about to take the card from his hand. But Bill suddenly glo
Falling out
Anyway, she had shown off enough to Celia, and she was already getting ready to leave now.So she didn’t bother to pretend to be extremely close to Celia anymore, and her words became harsh and sarcastic.Celia didn’t expect Nessa to suddenly fall out with her and even speak in such a callous manner.At first, Celia was actually elated to see Nessa, her former best friend in high school.But as she continued to chat with Nessa, she began to find her intolerable.Given the way Nessa behaved, she clearly didn’t have any intention to chat with her at all.Instead, she was just flaunting.Celia had been tolerant toward her on account of their friendship.But now, Nessa had not only taken the initiative to fall out with her, but she even nitpicked on William and humiliated him greatly.She was not a good-tempered person in the first place, and at this moment, she was exasperated.“Enough! Nessa, what are you putting on airs and flaunting in front of me for? What does my life have to do wit
Admitting defeat
William once again reached out to stop Jane. “I appreciate your attitude toward customers, and that’s why you’re now the general manager of the Emerald Garden. However, that’s also why all your words and actions now represent the Emerald Garden and no longer just yourself personally.“Today’s incident is their fault in the first place, so they should compensate for breaking the vase in the store. If you really give in and submit to someone humiliating you and the Emerald Garden, it means that the Emerald Garden is stooping low to bow down to them. In that case, how can the Emerald Garden’s image be preserved in the hearts of the customers? Will there be more and more people coming here to cause trouble and take the opportunity to trample all over you?“I know you’re putting up with this today for the sake of settling this matter peacefully, but others may not think so. They’ll only think that you and the Emerald Garden are weak pushovers!“If he accidentally dropped his bank card, it
A 2.8 million dollar vase
Facing Nessa acting like a mad dog barking, William and Celia didn’t bother to pay any attention.From now on, Celia would no longer see Nessa as her best friend. Besides, their situations were completely unlike what Nessa said, so she obviously wouldn’t care about what Nessa said.“Sir, I’m sorry, but the balance in your bank card is insufficient to pay for the vase…” Jane suddenly returned from the cashier with Bill’s bank card, looking rather awkward.“What? How is it possible that the balance is insufficient? I have a million on that card! How can it be insufficient for that stupid vase?” Bill immediately shouted angrily.Jane said with an apologetic look, “If you really only have a million on your card, it’s indeed insufficient because the vase you two just broke is a blue-and-white porcelain vase from the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely rare and precious. Its retail price is 2.8 million dollars, and the balance on your card is quite far from this.”Bill and Nessa widened their
