Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 132

Chapter 132

Leah pointed to the jewelry store in front of Serena and said, “I recall that the jewelry store is part of the Fortune Group. Let’s get the things there first, then have the driver deliver them to the villa.”

After hearing that, Serena exclaimed enthusiastically, “Okay, let’s go!”

The two entered the jewelry store carrying bags of various sizes. They were beautiful and young, and they had a lot of bags in their hands. The employees assumed they had come in to buy jewelry.

“Hello! Welcome!” They were greeted warmly by the salesperson.

“Hello,” Leah placed the things in her hand on the sofa beside her and turned to face her, saying, “We want to…”

“What did you say? Who designed this necklace?!”

An excited voice next to her interrupted her before she could say anything.

Leah frowned slightly and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

The sound also drew the attention of the other salespeople, and they all made their way over.

There were about seven or eight people in front of a counter selling necklaces at the time.

In the very center was a lady in gold and silver, all covered in jewels, with heavy makeup on her face. Her eyes were fixed on a necklace placed in front of her, and her very thin brows seemed to stand up.

“What is the situation?” Serena was outgoing and began inquiring about the situation as soon as she squeezed herself in.

There were two other customers besides the salesperson. When Serena asked, the spirit of gossip ignited and whispered to her, “That woman was going to buy that necklace, but when she found out the

designer’s name was Cindy, she became enraged. I’m not sure why she’s upset about it. Wasn’t Cindy’s jewelry a hit among the noble ladies?”

Leah raised her brows after hearing those words.

“The designer of this style was designed by Cindy, a famous foreign jewelry designer, and most of her designer necklaces are available in our store,” the salesperson here began to explain.

“Wasn’t that the woman who seduced Fortune Group’s president, Mr. Sanders, who returned after gilding and desired to ascend society and become a phoenix?” With her bright red nails covering half of her mouth, the woman asked sarcastically.

Everyone’s expressions changed, except for Leah, the person mentioned, who seemed unfazed.

“Lady, don’t believe the seditious comments posted online that are meant to spread rumors.” The salesperson patiently explained.

“He-he! My daughter has always gotten along well with Ian. They are of the same social class and are interested in each other, but he has abandoned my daughter since she appeared. Who, if not that woman, had seduced him?” The woman exclaimed loudly.

Hearing that, Serena tutted twice, approached Leah and said, “I didn’t expect your fiancé to be quite popular.”

Leah rolled her eyes at her, and uttered, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

“If you are not interested in purchasing, please leave.” There was such a commotion here that it eventually drew the store manager’s attention.

When the store manager arrived, the woman who was causing problems was quickly dismissed. It was to be expected, given that he had been appointed by Ian.

Before leaving, the woman twisted her neck and glared at them angrily, saying, “You’re kicking me out of the store? Wait until my daughter marries into the Sander family. You’ll see how I handle the lot of you.”

After the troublemaker left, the store manager reprimanded a few salespeople who exchanged pale looks. “Is this the first time this has happened? I’ve said it before, if you come across someone who isn’t here to buy anything and is only looking to cause trouble, just usher them away. Get the security guards if they don’t leave. Why even try to talk to her?”

Unconvinced, one of the salespeople scowled and muttered, “Can’t you, store manager, ask Mr. Sanders to take all the Cindy-designed jewelry off the shelves? Even if they are driven away, it will only treat the symptoms and not the underlying cause, and there will be others. People have come to cause havoc. The internet users had left such scathing and offensive comments. Why her pieces are still on display here is beyond me.”

“Shut up. Is it your responsibility to show Mr. Sanders how to do things? If you can’t take it any longer, hand in your resignation letter.” The shop owner berated her while glaring at her.

The other salespeople lowered their heads, each of them feeling similarly resentful.

The store manager let them go after reprimanding them. She cast a broad glance around the store, and when she met Leah’s gaze, she was taken aback for a moment.

The store manager approached Leah and asked, “Hello, what would you like to see?”

For some reason, she had the impression that Leah was not like the other women who had come to cause trouble.

Leah was very pleased with the store manager’s performance just now. “Are there many people causing trouble here today?” she asked, flashing a soft smile in her direction.

For a brief moment, the store manager was stunned. She gave Leah a quick once-over, and there was a flash of recognition in her eyes.

“Miss Cindy, come here and have a little chat with me,” she said, her expression adding a touch of deference.

The store manager led them to the store’s lounge area. She then served them each a cup of coffee before taking a seat across from them.

“It’s just that some people will gossip, and this is the only one who causes trouble like this.”

“Okay. How are the sales going today?” Leah asked again.

Despite her disheartened expression, the store manager replied truthfully, “We haven’t sold a single piece of jewelry today.”

Leah nodded slowly.

She had not anticipated this situation. She thought that those public sentiments were only minor issues that would eventually go away on their own.

However, she did not expect that the situation would worsen.

Those behind the scenes seemed to want to make things difficult for her, and were opposed to her leading an easy life.

After Leah and Serena had finished their coffee, Leah nodded and said, “Go do your work. I’ll take a look around.”

The store manager left after hearing that.

The two sat in the lounge area for a while.

Serena leaned against the sofa, as if she had just finished watching a really good show, and asked her, “What plan do you have? The problem is a little trickier this time.”

They’d known each other for two years, and she knew far too much about Leah’s character.

She preferred to face difficulties head on.

However, this time, Leah frowned slightly and sighed, “I’m not sure yet.”

She really didn’t know what to do.

After all, she had drawn some people into her situation, and Ian was one of them.

For a while, she was silent.

Serena suddenly nudged her arm with her elbow and said, “Look outside.”

Behind the lounge area where they were seated was a large glass window, and the outside could be seen clearly from the inside.

The floor they were on was in the shopping mall’s affluent section. Since everything on this floor was premium, ordinary people never came up here. That was why there were so few people outside.

After hearing Serena’s words, Leah unwittingly lifted her eyes and fixed them in the direction she had indicated.

Outside, three people were shopping. The man was holding a child in his arms and lowered his head to speak to the woman. The woman’s face was coyly shy, and her eyes were beaming with joy.

It was Han and Molly.

That was also the image Leah had seen countless times in her dreams.
