Chapter 117 - White Lotus Act

"So, you will not go that easily? Shall I call the security to get rid of you? Huh?" 

"On what basis?" asked the man in a cold voice and finally the attendant turned to notice that a fine looking sexy gentleman was standing with hazel.

When he had entered she had thought that he was with someone else and when he did not order a thing, she still did not associate him with hazel, thinking that he was waiting for someone to come so that they could shop together.

Who would have thought that such a piece of art was with hazel. Is he the man Hazel ran away with? The attendant looked at the man from top to bottom once again and nodded.

'Well at least he was sexy and good looking, even she would have lost her composure if that kind of man would have shown interest in me.' but too bad, her main motto is not to get distracted by handsome men, but to covet a rich man.

"Look mister, i do not want to argue. Since the lady could not afford our products, I want her to leave and not waste both of our time." she replied in a bit of a calm but arrogant voice as if she was not the worker but the owner of the shop.

She only thought that she was saving her and Hazel from the future argument by chasing her out of the shop now.

But the man only raised a brow and asked, "how much did this shop cost?" His voice was cold and indifferent , filled with seriousness but the attendant only felt that he was joking.

A mere good looking messenger and a runaway lower noble! How much money could they have to buy things? Not to forget that he was not asking about a pair of heels but the cost of the whole shop.

She laughed as she shook her head but then stopped abruptly and looked at the man with arrogant and cold eyes,

"Even if your dreams are higher, mister! You should not forget your reality! Do you even have the money to pay for an expensive pair of heels? 

And here you are asking about the cost of the shop so arrogantly. If I did not know any better, I would have thought that you have enough gold to buy it too." she shook her head but her eyes were filled with ridicule as she walked past them and opened the door,

"I am still good even when you have wasted enough of my time. So, you better leave now!?" This time there was a hint of threat in her eyes that Hazel sighed.

It felt like the whole empire thought that she was a useless noble and it was their right to insult her. But even if they had thought like that about her, they had looked at Richard with admiration.

But this girl was so dumb that she did not even noticed the regal and noble aura he was emitting. What a fool!

"What are you acting for? Look, I am not going to feel pity on you even if you beg me? Go and look for their other cheap shops. You might afford footwear there after receiving a good discount because of that beautiful face of yours!"  she passed the snide remark as she felt jealous of the girl.

But before she could speak further or insult them Richard moved and pressed  the bell. There was a note on the wall that if you felt any trouble or were not satisfied with the service then pressed the bell and the owner of the shop would reach there shortly.

The attendant's eyes widened when she heard the sound of the bell echoing in the room and her eyes instinctively moved towards the first floor where the lady was taking rest.

She looked at the stairs with dread for a few good seconds and only took a breath of relief when she did not feel any moment there.

Then she glared at the couple who had dared to press the bell!

"You! Do you not understand kind words? People like you only deserve rudeness? Why did you press the bell when I have told you clearly that you can not afford our shop?

I have been polite all this time. Now you wait, I will call the security that will throw you out so that you do not dare to argue with me again!" her eyes had turned red and her face had turned ugly.

She was looking at the pair with sheer anger but when her eyes met the cold eyes of the man, she felt like her voice had been lost. She opened her mouth but not a single word came out.

Her hands instinctively moved on her neck and she rubbed it but to no result when finally she heard the sound of footsteps behind her.

"So you think you have the right to throw anyone out of the shop because they dared to argue with you. Huh?" her whole body froze when she realised that not only the mistress was standing behind her but she had even heard her talking rudely to the couple.

Cold sweat filled her body, but when the couple didn't say a word to the lady, she took a few deep breaths and controlled her emotions.

Turning back with a flattering smile, she looked at her mistress with innocent filled eyes.

"You are taking me wrong, mistress. The couple did not have money so I showed them a few shops where they would get cheap pairs of heels. 

But instead of understanding my goodwill they started arguing with me that I will sell them these products for their price and when I refused they started fighting with me.

When I told them that they should leave, I did not know why but they pressed the bell and disturbed me.

I apologise for my tardiness and soft heartedness. I thought that they could be explained with kind words.

But I never knew that they would even threaten to beat you!"
