Chapter 248 VIP Treatment

In total confusion, Janet looked at the store clerk and asked calmly, “Is there anything else? A politesmile was on the attendant's face at this point. His attitude towards Janet had changed dramatically.Bowing to the two, she respectfully replied, “Miss, you can take as many pictures as you like. Wealso have a lot of classics here. If you want to take a look at them, we will be happy to show them toyou.” Janet was surprised by these words. Emani, whose blood was boiling, was confused

Janet pursed her lips and glanced at Ethan. The store clerk's sudden change in attitude was not onlysurprising, but also confusing. She found it hard to believe, with a frown, she asked, “I thought itwasn't allowed. Why the sudden rule change?”

“Is this store clerk trying to get me in trouble? Could it be a new way to hook people into paying forgoods here? she pondered.

The store clerk's smile widened. She replied politely. “Exceptions are made to all rules. As you are adistinguished guest, we can make an exception for you.”

This explanation added to Janet's confusion. She thought, did I? An illustrious guest? When did Ibecome one? Weren't they treating me like a beggar now?

Several doubtful thoughts also filled Emani“s mind. She didn't believe the attendants words at all. Inher mind, she concluded, “This is probably a joke or a misunderstanding. Janet is just an ordinaryemployee of the Larson Group. She cannot be a distinguished guest!

“What do you mean by that? Was there a misunderstanding or what? How did she become yourdistinguished guest? Are you sure what you're saying?” Emani blurted out when she could no longerkeep her cool.

Completely ignoring Emani, the store clerk walked over to Janet and gestured reverently for her togo to the exclusive VIP reception area. “Welcome to the VIP reception area, Ms. beautiful Please sitdown. After we have selected the best classics for you, you will be served with some refreshments.”The other employees immediately went about their duties, paying no attention to Emani, no matterwhat she said.

Some of them put on black gloves and began pulling out the jewelry store classics that were storedin the higher sections of the glass shelves. They carefully displayed them in front of Janet and Ethan.These pieces of jewelry were a sight to behold. They ranged from gold, silver, diamond, sapphiresand a host of others. They were so beautiful that Janet was speechless. When Ethan looked at Janet,he saw her reach out to touch them, but she withdrew it in the next second. He could see that shewas in awe of the jewels, but a little afraid to touch them. He found her behavior so adorable andfunny.

"Are you sure you can see them clearly from a distance?” In an attempt to bring Janet out of hergrief, Ethan picked up the jewelry box she was looking at and brought it closer to her.

Janet leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, “I just secretly checked the prices of thesejewels. They are so expensive. It is not wise to touch them. What if I accidentally break them?” Manyworries crossed Janet's mind. She didn't trust the employees here. She smelled somethingsuspicious because of her strange behavior. As far as he was concerned, that could be a trap. Shefelt that they would force her to buy it if she broke something. Ethan lowered his head and laughed.He then leaned back on the couch and threw his head back, laughing. After having a good laugh, helooked at his wife with heat in his eyes. “Don’t worry. If you break something, I will pay for it.”

Janet felt butterflies in her stomach as she saw the heat in Ethan's eyes now. It made her feelrelieved

in some sort of way.

“Our! He is so beautiful!’ Janet's cheeks turned red as she looked at him.

with her husband's assurance, she didn't hesitate any longer. She picked up a piece of jewelry andtook a look at

it

It was at this point that a store clerk came in with a tray full of sliced fruit and delicate desserts.“Miss, have you seen someone you like here? If none of the pieces here please you, you can checkout our exclusive pieces. They have not yet been offered for sale to the public. As they are custommade, they take a while to be delivered after ordering,” explained the store clerk as she poured teato Janet and Ethan. For the umpteenth time in the last half hour, Janet was shocked. She pinchedher thigh to make sure she wasn't dreaming or imagining things. “What's up? I'm dressed in cheapclothes, so I look nothing like a rich woman. Why does this store clerk think I can buy custom-madejewelry? Just as Janet was lost in thought, she noticed something. The saleswoman stared at thewedding ring on her finger. It was then that she realized why the staff treated her with suchreverence. She touched her ring and circled it with her finger. “Ahem... You keep looking at my ring.Is something happening?”
