At that moment, the elevator leading to the top floor suddenly opened, and a smartly dressed woman walked down. Angela recognized her as the current manager of the jewelry store, Sean.
Emily sneered, “There you go; that’s the manager of this high-end jewelry store. Ask her if she agrees to give a discount.”
Sean was known for being rigid, never compromising principles for a customer’s status, not offering more discounts than necessary.
During their conversation, Sean had already reached the group.
“Miss Powers,” she greeted, then looked at Evelyn and nodded with a respectful glint in her clear eyes.
“Sean, this lady wants you to give Angela a discount!” Emily said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Sean turned to Evelyn with a slightly inquiring expression.
Evelyn remained straightforward, “That’s right, after all, spending 57 million in one go, even for a high-end jewelry store, we can give her a discount, right?”
Sean was a former top salesperson with a vast network despite her humble background.
Sean, seeming to ponder, finally spoke.
“Sure!”
Everyone was surprised!
What did Sean say? Sure!
“Sean, did you say it correctly?” Emily exclaimed in shock.
Sean, a perceptive person, could easily tell that these two had a conflict with Evelyn. She cast a faintly cold glance at Emily, her attitude noticeably colder than before.
Then, she gently asked Evelyn, “How much discount would you like, boss?”
If the previous ‘Sure’ astonished everyone, now this ‘boss’ was like thunder on a clear day, leaving everyone in chaos.
Evelyn, the owner of this high-end store?
Emily stared with wide eyes, initially in disbelief, followed by jealousy, anger, and resentment that distorted her already unattractive face.
How could this scheming woman Evelyn own a jewelry store!
Angela clenched her hands.
This schemer had been playing with the three of them from the beginning.
As if carefully considered, Evelyn spoke, “Let’s give a discount of 9. 99%!”
“Make sure to calculate carefully, not a penny less outside of the discount,” she added with a smile, reminding the saleswoman.
The saleswoman, who hadn’t expected to serve the store’s big boss, hurriedly and seriously calculated. The final amount reported to Angela even included the exact cents.
People who had been watching the commotion couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
9. 99% off, truly an insult to Angela.
Angela’s face was even more darken now.
Originally, if she paid directly, she could endure the pain of losing that money and still maintain a reputation for lavish spending. However, now, whether she paid or not, it felt like handing her face to Evelyn to be slapped and then stomped on the ground.
“Miss Powers?” Evelyn frowned a bit, seemingly embarrassed. “Don’t you think this discount is a bit too little?”
“But you also know, our store never offers discounts. This is just for you, setting a precedent.”
The more earnestly she spoke, the more unpleasant Angela’s expression became. Finally, she angrily threw the card in front of Evelyn and stormed off.
“Evelyn, you’re ruthless!”
Evelyn calmly picked up the card. “Here, after swiping, remember to deliver to Miss Powers’s.”
She glanced at Sean and didn’t intend to say more. After selecting another ring at the counter, she left.
…
Outside, the sunlight was bright, and Evelyn felt in an exceptionally good mood.
She only took half a day off, had a quick meal outside, and hurriedly returned to the company.
It was still early, and the office was almost empty.
Just as Evelyn sat down, before she could react, her hands were firmly pressed, and she was roughly pulled off the chair, dragged to the restroom.
The wall felt cold as Evelyn was pressed against it. Her whole body trembled.
“You bitch, who allowed you to flaunt your charm and seduce Lucas?”
“Besides her good looks, what does she have that compares to us? How did Lucas fall for her?”
“Heh! Why bother considering so much? Since she has a pretty face, just ruin it first.”
After this conversation, a sound of a switchblade being opened was heard, and the ice-cold and sharp touch immediately pressed against the side of Evelyn’s face.
