Chapter 52: Chapter 55: Can You Afford It If You Have Your Eyes on It?
Translator: 549690339
The dress was expensive, and the salespeople at the store hoped Vivian Walters would buy it.
When they heard Lily Gray saying it didn’t suit Vivian, they began to resent Lily and immediately jumped in when Vivian asked for their opinions, trying to persuade her.
“Miss Walters, this dress is our store’s centerpiece. As we introduced it to you earlier, it is a Milan runway model from the latest season. With your exceptional temperament, this dress will only make you look more elegant and noble. How could it possibly not suit you?”
“Yes, Miss Walters, you are naturally beautiful, and ordinary dresses simply don’t do you justice. Look… the color of this dress makes your skin look so fair and radiant.”
Another salesperson purposefully unfolded the hem of the dress and held it against Vivian’s hand for comparison.
Seeing that Lily seemed to want to say something else, the salesperson sarcastically said, “Miss Gray, your finances are a bit tight recently? Even if you can’t afford it yourself, you shouldn’t be jealous and stop Miss Walters from buying it when she looks beautiful in it!”
“Yes, Miss Gray, you’ve also been our old customer, so you should know our brand’s quality. In the past, when you had money, you used to shop here, but now that you’re broke, you’re stopping Miss Walters from buying. Miss Gray, this really doesn’t make sense…”
The two salespeople were complimenting Vivian and belittling Lily with their words.
In A City today, anyone even remotely associated with the upper-class circle knows about Lily Gray’s situation.
Not only was she kicked out by Mr. Lucas for her misconduct, but she also lost face for the Gray family and was disowned and had her relationship severed.
It was said that even the last bit of shares she had in her hand were gone.
With this situation, huh, she still dares to come to a luxury store?
Lily Gray was puzzled by the salespeople’s words, as she didn’t know that her shares had been transferred or how, during the two weeks she was away from A City, Austin Lucas and the Gray family had worked together to smear her reputation.
However, even without knowing all this, she could see the hostility of the salespeople towards her.
Lily suddenly found this funny since she did criticize them in front of others, so it’s no wonder they were unhappy.
Seeing Vivian’s infatuated look at the dress, Lily shook her head and decided not to cause any more trouble for herself.
“Vivian, if you really like it, go ahead and buy it. But it’s better to try it on first and see if you like it.”
Lily treated Vivian as a good friend and couldn’t help but advise her to try on the dress first.
She knew Vivian’s situation. Although she had slowly gained popularity in the entertainment circle over the past year or two, the price of such dresses was usually several hundred thousand for something she could only wear once or twice.
Lily knew that Vivian would pay for the dress herself and was afraid that she might regret it later if she acted impulsively, so she couldn’t help but advise her again.
“Alright, 1 got it…” Vivian cut Lily off and said happily, “I’m going to try it on right now.”
Vivian couldn’t wait to wear the dress in front of Lily, eager to see the astonishment and envy in Lily’s eyes.
After Vivian went into the changing room, Lily casually looked around the store.
The brand’s style didn’t really suit her taste. In the past, she tried to lean towards a more mature and stable style to please her mother, but now she didn’t need to pretend anymore, so the brand seemed too old-fashioned to her.
Also, seeing those limited edition and latest collections from various luxury brands in the cloakroom at Blue Bay Estates had made her lose interest in the regular items available in these stores.
“If you can’t afford it, don’t wander around. If you see something you like, do you have money to buy it?” One salesperson couldn’t stand Lily’s window shopping and couldn’t help but ridicule her..
