Upon hearing this, Shelly immediately felt angry and embarrassed. “Why do you need to verify my


    card? Your store manager knows I’ming today. Just call her directly,” she hissed.


    Irinna, not wanting to upset Shelly, turned around and made the phone call.


    Meanwhile, ir mocked Shelly, saying, “Shelly, don’t you possess a VIP membership card? Why not


    just present it? It’s unfair to take it out on the staff.”


    “It’s obvious you don’t have a VIP membership card. You’re just trying to act important. Maybe it’s a


    good thing the store manager isn’t here. If she were, she’d expose your lies, and that would be even


    more embarrassing,” Caroline


    chimed in.


    Fuming with embarrassment, Shelly shot Irinna a re. “Have you finished making the call? Get your


    manager here immediately!”


    Irinna set her phone down and addressed Shelly, saying, “I’m sorry, Ms. Barrett, but I couldn’t get in


    touch with Ms. Gianna. Would you mind waiting for a moment?”


    “Get these two women out of here for me, right now!” Shelly bellowed.


    Irinna hesitated before saying, “Ms. Barrett, our store wasn’t notified in advance about a VIP member


    booking the venue. Could you please wait a little longer?”


    ir immediatelyughed, saying, “Shelly, stop pretending to be a big shot. If you don’t have VIP


    status, don’t act like you do. It’s embarrassing to get caught pretending, isn’t it?”


    Shelly stood there, her face flushed with embarrassment. She had never felt so humiliated, especially


    in front of ir. She wished she could just disappear into a hole right there and then. It was truly


    infuriating.


    Shelly had assumed that everything had been arranged wlessly. She was told to arrive early, inform


    the manager, and enjoy the privileges of VIP membership.


    However, to her surprise, the manager was unresponsive and nowhere to be


    found!


    As Shelly seethed with frustration, Mia strolled in casually and remarked, ” What’s happening? It seems


    quite lively here!”


    Seeing Shelly’s agitated state, Mia couldn’t help but feel a hint of satisfaction. Nheless, she


    composed herself and asked, “Shelly, what’s wrong? Did someone upset you?”


    “Monalize, you’re finally here!” Shelly eximed with relief. She had been on the verge of leaving in


    embarrassment.


    However, upon spotting Mia, her eyes lit up, and she promptly approached her.


    “Monalize, I made it to the store early. I was nning to ask the manager to clear the area so we could


    shop without any interruptions.


    “But guess what? The manager is nowhere to be found, and she’s not picking up her phone. And now,


    these people are mocking me, using me of not having a VIP membership card and simply


    pretending.”


    Mia paused briefly before responding, “But you never actually had a VIP


    membership card, did you?”


    Shelly’s expression froze, clearly displeased by Mia’s remark.


    However, Mia swiftly interjected with a smile, saying, “I’m just teasing you, don’t take it too seriously.”


    Shelly forced a strained smile, realizing she had to endure the situation for the sake of the VIP


    membership card.


    As luck would have it, the missing store manager, Gianna, appeared at that


    moment.


    Wearing a polite and professional smile, Gianna addressed the situation, “I apologize for the


    inconvenience. My phone had died earlier, and I didn’t notice your call.”


    Shelly’s frustration ignited in an instant. “Isn’t it a form of negligence for a store manager to be


    unreachable? You nearly embarrassed me earlier!”


    Gianna quickly apologized, saying, “I’m terribly sorry, Ms. Barrett. I’ll personally


    attend to you from now on. Will that be eptable?”


    Shelly let out a disdainful snort, shooting a cold nce at ir beside her. “Get rid of these bothersome


    individuals,” shemanded.


    Caroline objected immediately, “Who gave you the authority to dismiss people like that? Even with the


    store manager’s arrival, she hasn’t confirmed your VIP status, has she?”


    Without hesitation, Shelly retorted, “I may not be a VIP member, but someone else is.”


    Observing the escting tension, Mia turned to Gianna and requested, “Could you please clear the


    area?”


    Gianna responded respectfully, “Certainly, ma’am.”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
