Chapter 844 What Are You
The more Anya thought about it, the angrier she became. She gritted her teeth. “Tell me, what are the conditions?”
The manager smiled. “The condition is that you also need to be our VIP client aside from obtaining the owner’s permission.”
Hearing that, Anya stayed silent. Now, Anya’s face looked like hell and she was shaking as a result of her anger. VIP membership? This damn VIP membership again! Why does everything have to be associated with the VIP membership? I am crazy to even want to enter this store. This is so annoying.
The sales assistant who had argued with Anya stayed silent after that and finally couldn’t help but laugh upon seeing Anya’s angry face.
Even Sonia, who was behind them the whole time, burst out laughing when she heard the manager’s words.
The sound of laughter entered Anya’s ears, making her face even more distorted. She shouted, “W-Who is laughing?”
To answer the question, the manager turned around and looked at Sonia before he introduced Sonia to Anya. “Miss, the lady laughing is the owner of the dress.”
“What?” Anya was stunned.
The dress owner? She never thought that the dress owner would be here. Shouldn’t I be the only customer in the store right now? I thought she was not here.
While Anya thought that, she looked toward Sonia.
Sonia was sitting on the couch with her back facing Anya. The couch was big enough to obscure the whole body, which was why no one would notice someone sitting there.
No wonder I assumed I was the only one because someone was hiding there like a cat.
“Miss, if you want to order the same dress, you can discuss it with the owner and see if she agrees.” The manager gestured to Anya and led her toward Sonia.
When Sonia heard footsteps, she knew she herself was about to confront Anya. At once, she lost interest in enjoying the drama and coffee. Sonia simply put down her cup of coffee and pulled out a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth gracefully. Then, she waited for Anya to come.
Soon, the manager brought Anya over. Just when the manager was about to speak, Anya interrupted her.
“It’s you!” Anya looked with disbelief at Sonia sitting on the couch.
The dress owner is actually Sonia Reed!
So, it was Sonia who laughed at me earlier?! Now that I think about it, doesn’t that mean that she saw the whole process of me being embarrassed by that sales assistant earlier too?
When Anya thought of this, her face darkened.
To lose respect in front of someone she disliked was worse than getting killed.
As if Sonia didn’t see Anya’s hideous face, she raised her eyes and showed Anya a cold smile. “Miss Steinfeld, what a coincidence. We meet again.”
Hearing that, the manager was surprised. “Do you know this lady?”
Sonia glanced at Anya, her red lips curled into an unforgiving smile. “Not really. We’ve met only once, but it was enough to leave a deep impression on me. I didn’t expect Miss Steinfeld to be a stealer. Alas, she didn’t manage to poach my employee and apologized to me on the Internet instead.”
“You…” Anya’s eyes widened. She obviously was not expecting Sonia to be so direct and expose what she had done.
Now, Anya could feel the manager looking at her strangely.
She did it on purpose. She is doing this to humiliate me.
Anya clenched her fists tightly with hatred.
In response, the manager looked at Anya with a comical expression but soon withdrew her gaze and nodded at Sonia. “I see. That explains why I thought she felt familiar, but I could not remember where I saw her. It must be on the Internet, then.”
Sonia smiled but said nothing.
Finally, the manager remembered her job and she handed over the dress with both hands. “Miss Reed, this is the dress you ordered. Please try it on and see if you need further adjustment.”
“Thank you.” Sonia took the dress. Then, she uncrossed her legs and stood up.
Just as Sonia was about to take a closer look at the dress and head to the fitting room, Anya narrowed her eyes and said, “Miss Reed, you said that I am a stealer, right?”
Hearing that, Sonia put down the dress and stared at Anya alongside the manager.
“What do you want to say?” Sonia asked in a low voice.
Anya flicked her nails with a wicked smile on her face. “Since I am a stealer, I have to act like one to fit your opinion. I like your dress very much. Can you let me have it?”
Then, Sonia frowned.
The manager didn’t expect Anya to directly attempt to steal the dress in the presence of Sonia.
Miss Reed is angry. It will be an interesting fight.
As a manager, she had to do her best to not offend anyone. The best thing to do now was to withdraw from the battlefield to let the women fight with each other, but she couldn’t do this.
After all, President Fuller is supporting Miss Reed. He is one of the shareholders of the brand, and not many people know that he is my boss. On the other hand, Miss Reed is also my boss.
Therefore, the manager could not allow Miss Reed to be bullied in the store that she was in charge of. Otherwise, it would be a problem if President Fuller found out.
Thinking of this, the manager took a deep breath, then stepped forward and stood in front of Sonia. She looked down at Anya with an oh-so-polite smile infused with coldness. “Miss Steinfeld, I said before that Miss Reed reached out to our designer and commissioned the dress. Therefore, the dress is owned by Miss Reed. You are not qualified to take it away, and you can only ask for the permission of Miss Reed if you want to order a second dress. Do you understand?”
However, Anya didn’t care about this and sneered. “So what? Even if she commissioned the dress, it doesn’t mean that this dress can’t be mine. Anyone could have this dress. So, Miss Reed, dare to give it to me?”
Anya believed that Sonia would definitely fall into a difficult situation as soon as she said those words.
If Sonia refused, Anya could tell the others in their circle that Sonia was extremely unreasonable. In this way, those cooperating with Paradigm Co. would reconsider whether they should continue doing business with them. After all, if they somehow had some disagreement, Sonia would never let them off the hook.
However, if Sonia agreed to give it to her, then Anya could say that Sonia was a coward. In that case, anyone could step on her.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Anya was convinced that Sonia would figure out that she was in a difficult situation.
Sonia would definitely understand the significance of her choice. To save her company, Sonia could only give up the dress.
Anya could already imagine the upset look on Sonia’s face when she gave up the dress.
Looking at Anya’s blatant wicked smile, Sonia could tell what the woman was daydreaming about.
So, with a trace of ridicule flashing in her eyes, Sonia said coldly, “I won’t answer your question. But I can say that I will never let go of my dress. Moreover, you don’t have the right to ask me to give up my belongings. What makes you think you have such a right? What are you?”
Excellent!
The manager was cheering for Sonia.
If it weren’t for the circumstances, she would have applauded Sonia.
After all, the manager hated Anya too. She saw how Anya argued with the sales assistant earlier and was convinced that this woman was being unreasonable.
So, the manager was happy to see Anya reprimanded by Sonia. It was an understatement to say she was happy.
Not far away, the sales assistant who argued with Anya saw that she was being roasted by Sonia. Now, Anya was stunned by the imposing Sonia, and the sales assistant was pleased to see it.
After all, she thought that Anya deserved to get stumped by Sonia.
