After the other customers were sent off, only Fia, Sophia, and Esme were left as customers within the store. Seeing this, Esme became anxious and wanted to leave.
As she was prepared to leave, the manager called out to her loudly as he was typing on the keyboard, “Miss, please wait for just a short while! I’m still processing your refund!”
Esme stopped in her tracks -300,000 dollars was no small amount to her at the moment. It was Peter’s money. This man was quite eccentrically abusive so she did not want to upset him. So she decided to wait for the refund while being watched by Fia and Sophia.
A few minutes passed and the refund was not successfully processed yet. Esme asked, “Is it done yet? I’m in a hurry!”
“Soon! Very soon, miss! Don’t you worry. It’ll be just a few minutes. I lack the full authorization so I have to talk to the higher-ups for access,” the
access,” the manager said.
Esme took a few tissue papers from her handbag to wipe off the sweat that was rolling off her face. A few minutes later, she saw a glimmer on the manager’s phone screen. He took a look at his phone and then raised his head. “And that…should be it. Please check if the refund was successful.”
“Okay.” Esme sent a message to Peter and asked if he was refunded 300,000 dollars.
Meanwhile, Peter was stopped by Silas when he was leaving the washroom.
Silas smiled at him and said, “Mr. Hall, do you have a minute? Mr. Maxwell would like to have a word with you.”
Peter responded with a smile, “Certainly.”
“Please follow me. I’ll find you a seat. Mr. Maxwell will be with you shortly.”
“Okay.” Peter followed Silas into an elevator and went to a few levels above. He was then led into a cafe and seated at a table next to a window.
From the table, Peter had a clear view of the jewelry store that Esme had entered. Seeing what happened in the store, Peter felt something was off so he took out his phone to contact Esme. It was then her message came in asking about the refund.
When he was messaging her to order her to leave the store immediately, he saw that there was no signal on his phone anymore.
Peter raised his head to Silas and asked, “What is the meaning of this?”
Silas served Peter tea, “What are you talking about, Mr. Hall.”
“There’s no signal on my phone.”
“Oh, really? Perhaps it’s malfunctioning?” Silas smiled.
Peter’s body shivered as he was overwhelmed by rage. He clenched his fists and said, “No funny business. I’m warning you.”
“What are you on about, Mr. Hall? Mr. Maxwell merely wants to talk to you. There’s no funny business to worry about.” Silas maintained his smile as he spoke to Peter.
