Chapter 373 TOP VIP
Glancing at the clerk, Catherine didn’t respond, intending to look around herself first. Seeing that she didn’t respond, the clerk thought that she had already done her most basic duty, so she didn’t intend to bother with Catherine.
After all, there were often many internet celebrities who could not afford to buy their bags and just liked to come in to take a look.
Knowing that they could not take photos inside the store, those internet celebrities would be happy enough just to take photos of them entering the store door.
Catherine looked around on her own and noticed that the styles listed were somewhat outdated. She looked up at the nearby clerk and said, “Do you have the latest model?”
As soon as the clerk heard this, she knew that Catherine was someone who couldn’t afford their bags but still wanted to come in to pretend to be a regular customer. The clerk rolled her eyes at Catherine numerous times secretly.
After that, she said to Catherine in a cold voice, “Sorry, miss. If you want to see the new models in our store, you need to make an appointment. Only VIPs who have spent a certain amount of money at Hermès have the opportunity to learn in advance about the new model’s launch and receive a chance to make an appointment.”
The clerk’s voice was loud, and there was some mockery lingering in her tone. She was with a look of not worrying about offending the customers at all.
Her words attracted the other customers inside the store. When Emma heard the clerk’s mocking words, she turned back to look.
Originally, she just wanted to watch the show of others being mocked, but she didn’t expect to see that the one being taunted by the clerk was actually Catherine.
Seeing Catherine made Emma angry. Not only did Catherine take away the championship of the competition, making her the object of everyone’s scorn, but Catherine also made her be chastised severely by her grandfather.
Emma was the only girl of their generation in the family, and her grandfather had doted on her since she was a little girl. This was the first time her grandfather had ever punished her so harshly!
It was all caused by Catherine and the Swanns.
The most despicable one was the girl Liana, who actually asked Korbin to come to Emma’s family to solve this matter.
In the end, not only did Emma’s family have to go through the trouble of helping Liana deal with the trouble online, but they also had to be the object of ridicule by everyone in Oceanvile.
However, Liana avoided the blame by simply saying that her cell phone was stolen and that it wasn’t her who sent the pictures.
Emma fell victim to the fight between the two sisters of the Swanns. Emma had never been fooled with such a trick in her life!
Thinking about all this, Emma was furious and wished she could tear Catherine apart on the spot. She was really lucky. Meeting Catherine there at that moment was a good opportunity for her to get back at her!
If she didn’t take this opportunity to properly humiliate Catherine, wouldn’t it be too much of a loss for her?
Putting down the bag in her hand, Emma crossed her hands around her chest, stepped on her high heels, and walked toward Catherine with a noble look on her face.
“Hey! So, it’s Miss Catherine. What a coincidence!”
Feeling that the voice she heard was somewhat familiar, Catherine turned her head and saw the one who just spoke was Emma.
She glanced at Emma with a cold look and ignored her. This kind of belittling attitude was an absolute blow to Emma. How could she let Catherine humiliate her like that?
So, she decided to strike back. She laughed loudly and coldly at Catherine deliberately. “Hehe, Miss Catherine. You enter Hermès stores to say that you want to buy a bag, while you don’t even know the routine knowledge that buying Hermès latest bags requires an appointment. Don’t you feel ashamed?”
Without waiting for Catherine’s response, she continued, “Right, I almost forgot it. You’ve been living in the countryside since you were a child and you’ve never seen the world, so it’s normal that you don’t know about this.
“But the bags here are not cheap. I wonder if Miss Catherine has brought enough money.”
After Emma said those words, the clerk looked at Catherine with more and more disdain. Catherine originally didn’t intend to argue with Emma, but Emma was too stupid and arrogant.
Catherine raised her eyes and looked at Emma coldly.
Without considering to show any respect to Emma, she parted her thin lips slightly and said, “I wonder what your Grandpa’s mood would be if he knew that you didn’t even take his words seriously?”
It wasn’t that Catherine wasn’t aware of the deal Emma’s family had made with the Swanns. It was just that she hadn’t been available lately and hadn’t planned on caring yet.
However, if Emma was so brainless and liked to provoke her, then she wouldn’t mind taking the time to teach the Hazels a lesson. Facing Catherine’s threat, Emma’s face turned pale with anger.
After a long time, she finally found her words. “Catherine, you only know how to threaten me with my Grandpa. You can’t even afford to buy a bag. Who do you think you are?”
Without waiting for Catherine to speak, an abrupt voice broke the atmosphere in the store.
“What kind of bag is it? Even you can’t afford it!”
Everyone looked up and saw a tall man in a dark blue suit with a handsome face walking straight toward the store.
Only by a glance, the clerk could tell from the aristocratic aura emanating from the man and the watch he was wearing on his wrist that the man was definitely a wealthy man. If he was not a wealthy man, how could he possibly be wearing a watch worth millions of dollars?
Without waiting for the clerk to warmly come forward to greet him, this incomparably noble-looking man stopped by Catherine’s side and wrapped one arm around her waist with a doting face.
“Didn’t I tell you to call me when paying the bill?”
Catherine replied lazily, “I didn’t see the right one!”
The man raised his head, and his gaze fell on the clerk in front of him. “Bring out all the new models for her!”
Although the man looked very rich, the clerk still had to follow the rules of the store. But in comparison, she treated Branden with a much more respectful attitude.
“I’m sorry, sir. Only our VIPs can reserve our new bags!”
VIP was nothing more than a system of treating customers differently using the amount of money they spent in their store. Paxton, the assistant, knew a lot more about this than Branden. After all, Branden had never come to buy a bag himself.
Paxton took out the membership card from his bag and handed it to the clerk. “Please check if the amount we spent is enough for us to reserve a new model!”
Seeing Branden with an assistant, the clerk knew at a glance that he was not an ordinary person, and she hurriedly took the card and went to check.
In less than three minutes, the clerk rushed back in a panic and whispered a few words to other clerks before reappearing in front of Catherine and the others.
“I’m sorry, our distinguished customer. We didn’t know about your visit. We’ll arrange it for you right away!”
After saying that, two of the clerks walked over to Emma and the others and said to them, “Excuse me, ladies. Please leave for now. We have to serve the exclusive VIPs individually!”
Emma glared at the clerk with cold eyes and gritted her teeth. “What do you mean? You don’t want me to pay the bill, do you?”
The bag that Emma was interested in was just a basic model in the store, and the clerk naturally couldn’t possibly offend a top VIP customer for her sake.
“I’m sorry, miss. That lady and gentleman are our brand’s top VIP customers. They enjoy exclusive rights.
As long as they appear in any of our stores, we have to close the store exclusively for them. Please pardon me, and look forward to your next visit!”
The clerk had a serious face when she said these words, and she didn’t look like she was discussing with Emma at all.
Instantly, the scene fell into an awkward situation.
