This was the first day after launching her clothing line, and she was so happy and couldn't wait to monitor the day's sales. But her happiness was cut short with this scene.
The old woman heard the sentence and discovered that the owner of the store had come. And this made her blurry mind to clear up. She just realized that she had caused a lot of trouble, but she still refused to admit it.
"So you are the owner of this lousy shop?" The old woman sneered at Chen Lin when she turned around. She sized her up from her feet to the crown of her head.
She had to admit that the young lady standing in front of her reeked of money because she was dressed inexpensively and stylish clothes.
"How dare you call my hard work, lousy? Since you called it lousy, why did you step into it to shop then?" Chen Lin asked in anger.
"I was blinded, and so came into it," The old woman retorted shamelessly.
"Very good! Now before you leave my lousy shop, pay for the lousy dress, you damaged and get out. You can choose to take the dress after paying for it or leave it behind, it's your choice," Chen Lin said, crossing her arms while glaring at the old woman.
"I will not pay for any dress," The old woman said and tried to leave, but Chen Lin sent a signal to the shop attendants with her eyes, and they rushed over to hold the woman down.
"Let go of me you useless fools. If you don't let me go, I will call the police and report you for assault," The old woman screamed as she struggled to release herself from their grasps.
But how did she think she could overpower the three young and energetic young women that were holding her.
"Sue me for assault? You don't know what you're talking about. But how about I sue you for assaulting my customer and for damaging the goods in my shop? Do you find my suggestion better?" Chen Lin asked with a smirk on her face.
"You bitch...!" The old woman said through gritted teeth while glaring daggers at Chen Lin.
"Thank you for the awful compliment, but you have to pay up before you think about stepping your feet out from this shop. You are even lucky that I haven't called the police on you, because what you did today can detain you for a few days, or maybe weeks if I push through it. But I didn't want to give your family another headache of trying to get you out from prison because, you alone is enough headache for them. So in other sense, you are a BIG HEADACHE," Chen Lin said while emphasizing the 'Big headache' in her sentence.
Laughter erupted from the workers and customers that gathered around to watch the drama.
I think the old woman has never been insulted that way in her life, and this person got away with it. As it has always been her winning.
But now, she was speechless. And her face was twisted in anger that she could not comprehend. She couldn't even utter a word.
Chen Lin snorted and asked with a glare, "Why are you looking at me? You had better pay up or remain here. I can't even let you stay here and work till you have covered up your debts because your behavior, coupled with that look on your face, will chase my customers away. So hurry up and pay, and stop looking at me like that."
The old woman still couldn't speak a word for she was too angry to do so. She felt that if she even attempted to open her mouth, she would vomit blood due to the anger that had acc.u.mulated because of one lady.
So she dared not open her mouth, for fear of endangering her own health, to the detriment of another person.
Chen Lin saw that the old woman was angered beyond measure, so she smiled while completing her sentence, "Because you can't do anything."
The surrounding people had smiles on their faces when they saw the distorted look the old woman had.
The old woman just looks on as raged clouded her senses. She would have fallen back if not for the three young ladies that were still holding her back.
"Oh! Since she still refused to make any movement, search her bag. If you don't see any money, get any credit card you see there and swap it. If you don't see anything belonging to her that could pay up her debts, then we would really have to inform the police, so she could learn her lessons after being detained," Chen Lin said.
One of the servants hurriedly snatched the handbag from the old woman before searching the inside.
She brought out the cash that was in there and showed it to Chen Lin. Chen Lin nodded her head, and so the attendant took the money along with the dirtied dress to the cashier. She came back a few minutes later with the already packaged dress and change.
She then put the change right into the old woman's bag before handing her handbag and the packaged dress to her.
The old woman glared at the attendant before snatching the items. Then other attendants that were holding her down let go of her.
Just before the old woman left the shop, she threw the packaged dress that was inside a bag that had the store's logo on one of the attendant's face, before walking off hauntingly.
"Thank you for shopping with us, the dress you purchased and willingly left behind will be given out to the needy. But please do not come back here next time because we won't like to attend to a customer of your kind. But if you do come back, you will be thrown out by the security, and end up being embarrassed, don't say you weren't warned," Chen Lin said with a smile after the old woman.
The old woman didn't bother to retort or care about the people that were laughing at her. They were having enough fun from watching her being embarrassed.
