Hearing the familiar voice from behind, Lifen tilted her head to look at the person who have intervened between their conversation. Daiyu and Guang too follow same suite.
They didn't exactly recognized her but she some how looked quite familiar to them too.
Before they could ask Lifen about her, the person lunged forward, "Oh! Ms.Assistant, we met again. It's quite nice to see you again. Ah..I am sorry, I don't know your name exactly so I addressed you like that, please don't mind".
"Same here Ms.Long, it's nice to see you healthy again. It's my fault that I haven't introduced myself properly. Allow me, I am Wu Lifen", Lifen demeanor remained calm, which wasn't expected by Jie. Her calmness pissed her off. An urge to insult her, spread in her heart.
Jie's lips lifted up into a smile, but bitterness can be felt in her eyes and smile. She wasn't able to hide it well.
After hearing Lifen mentioning her name, Daiyu and Guang understood that this was the girl for whom that Black Heart CEO broke Lifen's heart terribly and was now soon going to engaged with her. Instantly, their gaze was filled with hostility towards her.
"Quite nice name, Li..fen! fragrance of flowers but don't you think that the fragrance should always limit itself within its boundaries", Jie said with a bitter smile. Envy was written on her face, though she was trying hard to hide it.
Lifen knew indication of her words, she thought that there was no use to cross answer her but then her heart made a note to her, 'Never make yourself weak in front of anyone and never lose to anyone's words when you are not wrong. You have already sacrificed much for her, even when you don't owe her anything. Fight back! Don't let her succeed in her words'.
Her lips curled up in a smile too, but there wasn't any bitterness rather her face was beaming with confidence, "Sorry Ms.Long, I think there is something defect in your knowledge book. 'Lifen' do mean fragrance of flower, that's right. But I have never heard anyone saying that fragrance should care about it boundaries. It always flows with the air, filling everyone's heart with sweetness".
Her words has done it's work as asked for. Jie eyes gave a glare full of rage, but Lifen didn't care for that glare. Her calmness was irked Jie, she then looked into her purse and draw a invitation card from it.
"Really? If you think so then it's good, anyway I won't be able to clear my point to you. Here, this invitation is for you", then she stuffed her hand with the high quality invitation card, smug all over her face.
She thought that she could at least get a hint of jealousy in her eyes to satisfy her heart but her heart was not destined to get this satisfaction.
Lifen readily accepted the invitation, "Congratulations! Ms.Long . I will surely atten the day to witness your love. It will be my honour. Thanks for the invitation".
Her nonchalance not only vexed Jie but also nonplussed Daiyu and Guang. They never thought that Lifen would be this strong while handling her broken heart and feelings.
Concluding her words, Lifen again turned to the counter, "Sir, we would take this. Please pack them up for me"
The manager signalled the sales girl to pack the bracelets and then lead it to the cash counter.
The sales girl was about to move when Jie said, "I will take that. Pack them for me. I will pay the price in full without any discount, not like someone who is dependent on cheap discounts". There was wisenheimer expression all over her face.
The manager felt conflicted as he looked at Lifen, he damn wanted to reveal that arrogant lady that Ms.Lifen is not anyone, she is the heiress of the fashion Corporation that was listed in the top five successful Corporation in the world but he can't because Ms.Li doesn't want so.
Lifen understood the expression on manager's face. She nodded her head giving him an understanding look. She then reverted her face back to look Jie and said with a polite smile, "Ms.Long, I really appreciate your choice in jewellery pieces. This piece is really beautiful, but as you can see that it designed to symbolize an inter locked connection between friendship. I don't think it will suit an individual. You can shop for some couple bracelets as your engagement is approaching".
"You...It's my liking. I want to own this piece. Do you have a problem in that", Jie was enraged. She yelled in frustration. She was now no more able to hold her rage against her.
Lifen gave a mocking smile to her, "Then I am sorry Ms.Long, I have already made my decision before you to take this three bracelets and I am not going give in to anyone, because it's for my friends".
"Huh? You sure have guts. You don't have the money but you are still insisting on getting such expensive jewellery. Let me ask the manager itself, will he be selling this precious piece on discounted rate or double price.
Jie was sure that no one is so stupid to refuse the double rate of the product. But little did she know that, Lifen as an exception her.
Jie tilted her head to look at the manager. The manager eyes and expressions were very clear, "Sorry Madam, I don't think I can help you in this. This lady has already asked for this piece before you and we are very strict regarding customer-facing ethics. And about the discounts, it will be borne by our company itself, it doesn't hinder any marketing policy".
The manager then turned and ordered the sales girl to proceed with the process to bill the bracelets. Daiyu and Guang was overjoyed seeing the results turning in their favour.
Jie was furious, "How dare you? Don't you know who am I? How can you be so impolite to me?"
At this time a store entrance was pushed open once again followed by strong footsteps, "Jie!"
