Vicky took out a contract from her bag. âTo express our sincere apology, weâll compensate you with
double the deposit amount.â
It was the standard procedure to compensate the customer double the deposit amount they had paid.
Since they were in the haute couture industry, most of their customers were the rich and famous. They
had to handle them carefully so they would not offend any customers.
Cece had told her the customer Vicky was meeting, Mister Shear, was a very troublesome customer.
When Jennifer went to take his measurement, he tried to take advantage of her all the time.
Mister Shear had his eyes fixated on Vickyâs pretty and fair face.
âDouble the deposit amount?â He raised his chin high proudly. âDo I look like a person desperate for
money?â
âIâm really sorry, Mister Shear,â said Vicky smilingly with a gentle attitude.â Weâll do our best to see
through any of your requests.â
This was not the first customer she met and not the first who refused to settle easily, but they were
willing to settle with her because she was willing to pay the compensation fee as well as give them a
gold member card that entitled 80-percent discount on womenâs haute couture.
After all, they were in the service line. If it was not necessary, she never wanted to cross the customer.
All of a sudden, Mister Shear smiled. He extended his hand out to grab Vickyâs hand that she had
placed on the table.
âMiss Shaw, youâre very pretty. Are you interested in being my woman? I can give you everything, car,
house, and money,â he remarked.
Vickyâs face looked troubled as she withdrew her hand away.
There was a reason for her to meet with Mister Shear in the restaurant; she wanted to avoid Mister
Shear trying to take advantage of her. Who knew he would reveal his true self so fast out in public
when they had just started their conversation?
Mister Shear gripped her hand tighter when he saw Vicky withdrawing her hand. âWhat do you want?
Ask me of anything, any amount of money that you want-â
Before he could finish his sentence, a female voice came from behind.
âVicky?â
Vicky looked back and saw a couple. Her expression looked even more terrible than before.
It was none other than Tyler and Gloria.
Although she was here for work, she still felt embarrassed when they saw her apologizing to a
customer and even gave the customer a chance to take advantage of her.
âAre you guys eating here too?â Vicky asked.
Gloria did not answer and looked at the man sitting across from Vicky. She furrowed her brows when
she saw the man was grabbing Vickyâs hand and refused to let go.
âYou areâ¦?â
Mister Shear quickly chimed in, preventing Vicky from intervening, as he introduced himself. âMy name
is Isaac Shear, Vickyâs boyfriend.â
He knew Vickyâs name when Gloria called out Vickyâs name just seconds ago, so he called himself her
boyfriend.
Before Vicky could finish her sentence, Gloria interrupted, âMister Shear, what are you talking about?
Boyfriend? When did you become Vickyâs boyfriend?â
Isaac smiled. âToday⦠Err, well, it was just now, to be exact.â
Gloria moved her red lips and gave Vicky a disapproving look. Although Vicky and Tyler were in the
process of a divorce, the divorce was not settled yet.
âHaving a boyfriend before the divorce⦠Isnât that a little way too fast?â she thought. 2
Vicky frowned and said coldly, âMister Shear, Iâm not your girlfriend.â
Isaac interrupted her, âDonât call me that. Call me Isaac.â After that, he smiled at Gloria sheepishly.
