From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 466

"Where's your manager? Get her here right now, I want to file a complaint!"

The sharp voice instantly drew the attention of everyone in the store. All eyes turned toward the source of the commotion.

Yet, the woman at the center of the scene only grew more arrogant, assuming an air of superiority. The sales associate she had slapped stood there, one side of her face swollen and red, tears silently streaming down.

The manager hurried over from the other side of the shop. "Ms. White! This employee is new and a bit clumsy. I'm so sorry for any inconvenience she caused you! Baber, apologize to Ms. White right now!"

This Ms. White was known as Violet.

Violet was a premium member at their store, coming in every month for her beauty treatments. She was a big spender, and the manager certainly didn't want to offend such a valuable customer over an employee.

So, regardless of the facts, the fault must lie with the employee.

The employee who had been slapped looked up at the manager, her voice filled with frustration, "Manager, this isn't my fault. She hit me first..."

The manager frowned and snapped coldly, "Baber! Do you not want to keep your job?"

Working at a high-end skincare store came with a good salary and commissions, and sometimes even tips from clients. Baber had gone through quite the ordeal to land this position, so she certainly didn't want to lose it. Swallowing her pride, she apologized.

In the adult world, what's a little injustice, right?

Even after the apology, Violet seemed dissatisfied.

The manager quickly presented an elegant gift box. "Ms. White, please consider she's new and let this slide. Oh, and this is a new hydrating product we've just received. I'd like to offer it to you as a token of our appreciation. I know a single skincare item might not be much for someone like you, but please accept it as a small gesture from our store."

Violet's vanity was thoroughly appeased by the manager's flattery. She accepted the skincare product with a slight nod. "Since you've put it that way, I'll let it go this time."

"Thank you, Ms. White," the manager said, bowing once again.

Violet turned her gaze to Baber, eyes full of disdain. "Your name is Baber, right? Remember to use your brain next time. Do you even know what brand these shoes are? If you ruin them, could you afford to pay for them? I doubt you'll ever amount to more than a lowly sales clerk in your life."

Unlike her, who was about to marry into wealth.

Violet lifted her chin and strutted out of the store.
