The sales attendant looked at Winter in disbelief when she heard this. “Miss, what you said isn’tquite right. Mr. Hoffman saw these shoes first, and you haven’t paid yet, so it’s only fair I give themto Mr. Hoffman.

*Besides, no matter who you are, everyone is a customer to me. Should I give you specialtreatment just because you’re someone important?”

“You…” Winter was at a loss for words after being blocked by the assistant’s response. As theeldest daughter of the Shaw family, she was used to people granting her wishes. Her fans. treatedher like a treasure, yet this small–time sales attendant dared to speak to her like this.

“Get your store manager… No, get your general manager here! I can’t believe I have to take thisnonsense just to buy a pair of shoes!”

She simply stared at him with her large, innocent eyes.

She was about to say something when she heard a voice from behind. It was Annie speaking, “Howshameless is she? Throwing herself at a man.”

Noelle blushed, realizing the awkward position she was in with Charles. She gently pushed himaway. “Thank you.”

“Are you alright? Charles frowned. When Noelle fell onto him, her fragrance enveloped him, makinghim momentarily dizzy.

Charles was annoyed at being interrupted. He then glanced sharply at Annie, his piercing gazesending a chill down her spine. She shivered, sensing she might have offended Charles.
