At the same time, Xander came out of the toilet and witnessed what was happening in front of him. He was surprised to see Scarlett in that place. But what surprised him the most, she bumped into Angela Lane.
Xander stopped in his tracks and stood behind the wall, quietly listening to what they were talking about.
"What are you doing!?? How can you spill wine on her dress? Do you have any idea how much this dress cost?" Another female voice came from behind Angela Lane.
Scarlett was surprised to see the woman. She knew her. She was Angela's Manager and had seen it in the news she had read recently.
The woman in a black dress stepped forward and stood between Angela and Scarlett.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Now tell me, how are you going to settle this?" The manager's voice was low but sounded very disdainful. "I knew you wouldn't be able to afford it..." Her eyes looked at Scarlett from head to toe as if she was judging whether she could afford to pay.
"Don't worry, I'll replace it with a new one for her..." Scarlett said calmly. Only a dress from a famous brand in Italy will not hurt her wallet. She could still afford it even if they asked for an unreasonable price.
Suddenly Angela's calm face turned stiff when she heard this woman's words. For the umpteenth time, she saw the stain on her chest area, and her heart ached to remember this dress was like her treasure, a gift from Xander.
And now, this woman said she'd replace it?
"Miss, it's not about money but the memories of this dress. You can't afford it..." Angela said irritably. While the look in her eyes seemed to want to slap Scarlett.
Scarlett was stunned. Angela is right, she could buy many dresses like this, but she couldn't change the memory. Now, she has a headache dealing with this. These two women seemed to want to make things difficult for her.
What do they want if they don't want her to replace the dress? Apology? She did. She said sorry the first time she realized she had made a mistake. And it wasn't entirely her fault either. It was both of them.
"Alright, now tell me, what do you want me to do?" Scarlett asked, without wanting to prolong the matter. She would follow her wish and disappear from this place.
"Yes!! It's not about money. And how can you afford it even if it's about money? This dress is a limited edition... There were only 20 pieces of this cloth sold worldwide. And now they're all sold out. Miss, do you know this brand? And do you know the woman behind me?" The manager continued her sulking in a mocking tone.
The manager's eyes stared at Scarlett with disdain. 'This woman is attending someone's party in casual clothes and doesn't look like a guest at this party!?'
"Oh-My-God!!" The manager covered her mouth as her eyes widened in shock at seeing Scarlett, "...are you even a guest at this prestigious party? Are you a fan who snuck in so you could see the famous celebrity!?"
Scarlett, "..."
"What the hell!! Why should I? Even if a Hollywood movie appears before me, I'll ignore them..." Scarlett wanted to reply like that, but she held back. She didn't want to upset them more and just wanted to sort this out and go home.
"Miss… I…" Scarlett had not finished speaking but, this ignorant manager interrupted her.
"Young Miss, don't do that. You just embarrassed yourself..." The manager shook her head as a mocking smile appeared on her lips, "...listen, miss, even with your salary for the rest of your life, you won't be able to afford this dress!"
Scarlett was about to laugh upon hearing her words. Gosh!
"Now, how can you pay for the clothes? Tell me..." The manager continued her words.
The manager's words could make Scarlett almost laugh out loud. It was the first time she had heard such words directed at her by someone other than that bitch Lauren who was always verbally abusing her.
Geez, why do these people only judge people by their appearance? She doesn't need to look good or use expensive things to impress others. She wears something because she likes it and feels good and comfortable.
Scarlett could only look at the manager with pitying eyes. People like this, who are narrow-minded, always try to use branded goods with nothing in their bank account — maybe even a minus because they have debts.
This was one of the reasons Scarlett didn't like interacting with people like this — morons. From the beginning, she said she would be responsible. However, this stupid manager is asking again!?
She was starting to suspect that Angela and her manager just wanted to make her miserable.
'Gosh!! What have I done to them? Why are they attacking me? Do they know I'm Xander's wife, and they want revenge on me?' She knew that this woman was often rumored to be dating Xander.
She felt a nameless pain in her heart just thinking about Angela being Xander's girlfriend. She immediately shook her head to clear her mind.
"I told you before, I will take responsibility. I will replace the dress with a new one, or I can also pay for the dress if you want me to do it." She smiled weakly before continuing. "You can tell me the price and your bank account. I'll transfer the money to you."
Scarlett patiently explained as her gaze fell on Angela Lane. It was clear this woman was enjoying watching her manager humiliate her.
It was hard to believe that a woman famous as a goddess because she always looked elegant and kind out there was actually arrogant and heartless, bullying the weak.
She would settle this matter first. After this, she will find a way to teach Angela Lane and her manager a lesson.
'Want to embarrass me? Go ahead but make sure you can afford my revenge!'
Scarlett secretly smiled in her heart as her eyes shifted to the haughty-looking manager in front of her.
