Life After Prison

After flashing a forced smile to Severin, she turned to a young assistant near her. “Hey, Bree, will you be all right if I handed these customers over to you? You need to make a good impression since you’re new and all!”

Oh, sure, Miss Debra!”

The young female saleswoman nodded, and then said to Severin and Diane, “Sir, ma’am, good afternoon. These right here are all our new models. You have a good figure, ma’am, and I think a person of your grace should try them!”

Debra walked to one side and chatted secretly with two of the more seasoned employees. “Bree’s pretty dumb, isn’t she? I didn’t think she’d be brave enough to accept those customers after I said. I’ll pass them to her. She’s wasting her time with them!”

Another of the senior employees said, “How can someone who looks like a farmer be able to afford our clothes? That was mean of you to pass them over to Bree!”

“Tch. You can’t blame me if she accepts them. Did you see how respectfully she’s explaining the new models to them? It’s like she’s not worried that they might cause trouble. If I were her, the most I’d do is just tell them that they can have a look around. It’s good enough that I didn’t chase. them out of the store. People with as poor a judgment as Bree aren’t suited to working here, haha! “Debra continued to sneer.

Unbeknownst to them, Severin could still hear their whispers clearly despite their best abilities to keep their voices down.

“Mom! This dress looks so pretty! I think you’ll look good in it!”

Selene grabbed a white skirt with an innocent look on her face.

Debra’s expression soured the second she saw what happened. She strode over and yelled at Bree’s face. “What is wrong with you, Bree? Did you even care to wash this little girl’s hands? Do you know how dirty they are? How could you just let these children touch those clothes so casually? Letting them look at the clothes is good enough. Are you going to pay for the clothes if they get soiled and the customers can’t afford to buy them?”

Bree opened her mouth and did not know what to say. She glanced at Selene with a smile. “But Miss Debra, her hands are super clean!”

Debra was speechless for a moment, for she did not expect the newbie to be speaking up for the other party.

Meanwhile, Selene was frightened by what happened and hid behind Severin in fear.

Severin glanced at Selene’s reaction and his expression took a turn for the worse. He immediately. said to Debra, “What’s with this attitude of yours? How dare you speak to my daughter like that? Would you like me to report you to your superiors?”

When Severin made that threat toward Debra, she was taken aback and immediately apologized with a smile. “I’m sorry, sir, it wasn’t my intention to scare your daughter. I was just trying to teach this newbie a lesson. The point is, this dress costs a very high price of thirteen thousand. She will

be in trouble if it gets dirty and you end up not being able to afford it!”

“Get out of my face! You’re the one who can’t afford it!” Severin lashed out coldly at Debra.

“Yes, I’ll leave right away!” As unhappy as Debra was, she responded with an awkward smile and left.

Once she was out of sight, Severin squatted down, cupped Selene’s face, and said with a smile,” Don’t be scared, okay? Your hands are clean. Some people just have a black heart, you see. That’s

even scarier!”

He then turned to Bree and said, “Take this skirt down and let my wife try it on!”

Although Diane felt that the skirt was a bit expensive, she was also very upset by the way the other saleswoman looked down on her earlier. At that moment, she no longer refused to wear the clothes and immediately went into the fitting room with the clothes.

Coincidentally, Edward was passing by outside with a woman around his arm. “Hey, Edward, that woman who went in to try on some clothes looks just like Diane.”

Edward froze for a moment. “That can’t be. You must’ve mistaken someone else for her. How can Diane afford to shop here?” He sneered. “Diane is a stunner, that’s for sure, but it’s a shame that she’s too naive. I offered to marry her, but she turned me down! Man, I’m so f*cking pissed off that she got pregnant with an ex-convict!” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Look, it is her!” The woman was Edward’s side chick, and when she saw that the woman was Diane, she smiled wickedly and said, “Looks like she’d rather be with a poor country bumpkin than with you!”

Edward’s face turned blue with anger, and he said coldly. “We’re going over. I’m curious to see who’s the man that’s buying clothes for the woman I like!”
