“How did your store even become part of this mall?”
The shop manager lowered his head and asked, “What would you like me to do,
sir?”
“Fire her,” Mitchel curtly said and then left the store.
The saleswoman was left dumbfounded. Her brief moment of triumph from the
deals vanished, replaced by shock and fear.
On the verge of tears, she tried to follow Mitchel, but the manager held her back.
“This customer is a top-tier one,” the manager explained.
“I'll send the surveillance footage to our headquarters for review. Go home for
now.”
Meanwhile, Eloise looked unsettled. She had a feeling that Mitchel had done that
not in her defense but in Raegan’s.
At this moment, she quickened her pace to catch up with Mitchel and then
reached out to grasp his arm.
But then, Mitchel turned sharply and gazed at her with an icy gaze.
“I don't like being touched. Don’t do that again.”
Eloise’s eyes turned red, and her cheeks burned as if she had been slapped.
The truth was, she did not actually kiss him earlier. Mitchel had deftly avoided
her. She had made loud noises on purpose because she was afraid of losing
face. But she did not realize she had crossed his boundaries.
Mitchel did not wait for her and marched ahead.
Eloise forced herself to calm down and hurried after him.
She could not ruin this shopping trip, especially given the efforts of Mitchel's
father on her behalf.
Meanwhile, Raegan and Nicole were shopping at a cosmetics store on the first
floor.
After a while, Nicole excused herself to use the restroom, so Raegan wandered
around while waiting.
A few steps away, Raegan spotted a wallet on the ground. It was a simple black
Kraft design, adorned with a short-name logo. She recognized it at once.
Raegan was reluctant to pick it up at first. But as she pondered, she thought of
the potential risk to Mitchel if his identity documents got lost and fell into the
wrong hands.
With that, she picked up the wallet, intending to hand it over to the reception desk
so they could inform its owner.
However, before she could take a few steps, she saw Mitchel standing by the
railing and talking to someone on the phone. Eloise was nowhere in sight.
Not wanting to cause a scene, Raegan gently tugged on his sleeve to get his
attention.
She was about to say something when he suddenly shook her hand off and
snapped, “Don’t touch me.”
