Chapter 269 ---- Thalia pointed to the blue dress. "I'd like that dress, please. Could you package it for me?" The associate's face lit up-she loved customers who knew, exactly what they wanted. "Of course, just one moment while I wrap it for you." "You have excellent taste," the associate added. "This is our newest design and our best seller. It's actually the last one we have in stock." Just as the associate was about to remove the dress from the mannequin, a couple entered the store.

Will you buy it for me?" the woman. cooed to the man beside her, pointing at the blue dress Thalia had selected. The man smiled. "Of course, baby.
Whatever you want." Then, in a commanding tone, he called to the associate: "Waitress, package that dress for me." ---- The associate's expression momentarily darkened at being called "waitress." But being in customer service, she quickly suppressed her annoyance and smiled at the couple. "I'm sorry, sir, miss, but this lady has already selected this dress, and it's our last one. Perhaps you'd like to see sother styles? We have many other beautiful new dresses." "I want that one," the woman said coldly. The man turned to look at Thalia, his eyes brightening.

Though accompanied by a woman, the man didn't overtly show his admiration for Thalia. While he might be attracted, he couldn't lose face in front of ---- his girlfriend.

He pulled out his wallet and extracted a wad of cash, offering it to Thalia. "Here, take this." Thalia gave a cold laugh. "I spotted this dress first, and I'm not giving it up." The man frowned, his gaze dropping to notice the bag she was. carrying. He'd been too focused on her face and figure to notice it before.
Now seeing the bag and recognizing the logo, he realized that a woman who carried this brand couldn't be bought off with a few thousand dollars. The man smiled, putting away the cash. With a rakish grin, he said, "My girlfriend has her heart set on that dress. Could you please let us have it? I'm willing to pay you for it." ---- Thalia's expression remained cold. "No." The woman beside him snorted. "Carrying a fake bag and having the nerve to show your face in public.

How embarrassing." "That bag you're carrying isn't even sold on their official website. Do sresearch before buying counterfeits, savem yourself the humiliation." "Fake bag?" The man looked again at Thalia's handbag. He hadn't examined it closely before, just glanced at it, and hadn't realized it was counterfeit. The quality looked excellent-just like the real thing. "Yeah, babe. I browse their website all the time, and they definitely don't sell that model.
Who knows where she got that knockoff. It's hilarious." The woman looked at Thalia disdainfully, mocking her: "Obviously someone who's never owned the real thing. Did you buy that bag without even knowing the brand? Just like those people who buy 'Minmin' without knowing it's actually "Miumiu.'
