Chapter 197: It’s bad for business
When Jessa went to the women’s boutique, she quickly came out because of the price tag on the mannequin. She caught Allison going to the other stall. Hence, she went to another one to check if there was something she could buy for her husband.
After minutes, Jessa realized nothing could suit her husband here. Thus, she went to the stall where Allison was. She didn’t plan to get inside and simply thought of what task she would give the children to keep them busy after exam week.
While idling, she heard Mrs. Miller’s voice. That woman’s voice was so loud that even Jessa, who was outside, could hear everything. She didn’t plan to interfere, since she was curious about how Allison would deal with it. Much to her disappointment, Allison backed down and chose the peaceful route.
That didn’t sit well with Jessa.
People like Mrs. Miller were worthy of all the pettiness in this world.
"This shop is supposed to protect its clients and yet, not only did you not protect your customer, you let this tackless woman escalate the situation. I need an apology!"
"Tackless?!" Mrs. Miller fumed. "Between you and I —"
"I am tactless too," Jessa admitted, almost making Mrs. Miller throw up blood. "So what? We’re the same in that matter. You had a personal problem with someone and you made a scene in public. Isn’t that called tactless? The shop allowed such personal problems to happen in their establishment and even when they had the power to control the situation, they let it escalate!"
"I’d want to speak to the manager!" she continued, casting the staff a look. "Come on. Chop chop!"
Allison pressed her lips into a thin line, watching Jessa glare daggers at Mrs. Miller and the other shoppers. None of them dared say another word, afraid Jessa would shamelessly drag them in this as well.
