Stuck in you

Rachel was amused by Celine's words. She was eager to stay away from Jack. He would always bring trouble to her.

Unwilling to answer her question, Rachel turned to the saleswoman holding the boy. "It doesn't matter. Don't worry about her. I can pay for the compensation on your behalf."

The saleswoman stared at Rachel in confusion.

Celine narrowed her eyes in anger. "It's none of your business! Do you hear me? It was her son's fault! I will demand compensation from her."

Lucas couldn't stand the scene in front of him. Frowning, he warned Celine, "Hey. Please be polite. It's just a dress and it isn't worth all this yelling."

At the sound of the commotion, the shop's manager finally came into view. She hurried over to where the fight ensued.

A thin layer of sweat glistened on the manager's forehead as a saleswoman began to vaguely explain what had happened.

The manager took a deep breath before facing a seething Celine.

Seeing that they were in a stalemate, she walked over with a big smile plastered on her face. "Miss, I am the manager of the store. May I know what happened?"

However, Celine didn't respond and continued her haughty attitude. With her beautiful and dainty fingernails, she pointed at the man in front of her and in a sharp voice, she screeched, "It is none of your business! You should learn to mind your own business!"

With a straight face, Lucas shook his head. Calmly, he turned to the shop manager, who was frowning at the situation. "I would like to pay for the lady's damage, regardless of how much it costs."

"You are crazy!" Celine yelled.

The manager couldn't maintain her politeness. The saleswoman had told her that the child had accidentally stained the client's dress. But she was willing to apologize and pay for the damages. It didn't make sense that the customer would continue to create a scene in the middle of their store. She glanced at Celine's dress, and could hardly pinpoint where the stain was. Clearly, this customer was just trying to create a dramatic scene in front of everyone. The child at fault was still in his mother's arms, trembling in fear.

The manager sighed silently. Seeing that there was no way out, she asked in a low voice, "Miss, I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience. Please follow me to my office so that we may settle this."

Celine's face flushed in embarrassment, but she coldly replied, "No, thank you. I guess it is just my bad luck. Your customer service is terrible. I definitely won't shop here again."

Rachel sneered and said, "Don't worry. She won't need to come here at all as she doesn't even have a child."
