Chapter 33
"You gotta be nice to me in the future, don't go against me, got it?"
"Alright, crystal clear!"
"Then you resign, or don't come to me again!"
"Uh..." What rotten luck! So that's what he had in mind!
"Spit it out!"
"Well... I gotta finish this month's work, right? I still have half a month's salary to get. And I need to apply for resignation in advance. I can only leave when the company finds someone to replace me. Otherwise, it would be too abrupt and might offend the boss."
The girl finally gave in.
Sebastian found it a bit amusing, tapping the table with his finger: "Fine, you'll work until the end of the month."Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"So, Silver Fox, will you help me buy the store? I don't want this store, it'll be yours once bought, I just want to get the upper hand."
"I won't buy the store, but I'll help you outplay them, alright?"
Stephanie nodded: "Yeah! Okay."
With that, Sebastian hung up the phone.
He made a call and gave some instructions before going back to the meeting.
On Stephanie's end, she washed her hands, left the restroom, and went to the VIP area.
She saw her mom sitting there looking all uneasy, and she couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for her, a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Suddenly, begging Sebastian for help didn't seem so shameful.
Making sure her mom had a peaceful life was the most important thing.
Elsewhere, Mrs. Klein and her daughter Katherine were enthusiastically picking out clothes.
Katherine saw her come out of the restroom and sneered: "Haha, were you so amazed by the luxurious bathroom in this store that you stayed in there for so long?" Stephanie rolled her eyes, didn't bother replying, and just quietly waited for Sebastian's move.
She went to Marilyn's side, squeezed her hand, and whispered in her ear: "Mom, your future son-in-law heard that you're being bullied, and he's gonna help you win this." Marilyn was startled, then smiled: "Really? He said that?"
"Absolutely! He really likes you as his future mother-in-law! When I mentioned you being bullied by Mrs. Klein, he got mad and told me to just wait and do nothing, and he'lDfigure something out."
"Sebastian is such a good boy... but won't it cause him trouble?"
"Nah, for the big boss of Skyline Corporation, it's just a piece of cake. Just sit back and relax, mom."
Marilyn's whole face brightened up, and she smiled.
Stephanie couldn't help but think that in her mother's heart, Sebastian had become a beam of light in her life.
Maybe that was not so bad. As long as Sebastian can make her mom happy, she'll be nicer to him too. Even if he was a jerk, she would put up with that as long as he didn't rub it in her nose.
In just ten minutes, the store
manager suddenly appeared and personally approached the mother and daughter, respectfully bowing: "Mrs. Bishop! Ms. Bishop... Nice to meet you, I'm the manager of this store."
Not far away, the faces of Mrs. Klein and Katherine turned sour simultaneously.
Mrs. Bishop?
How could this shameless mistress, Marilyn, be called this politely?
Ignoring her expression, Stephanie asked coldly: "What's the matter?"
don't
"I'm very sorry that our sales staff acted improperly and offended both of you. To apologize, any clothes Mrs. Bishop and Ms. Bishop like today will be given to both of you for free... Ms. Bishop, please be lenient and don't buy our store... Anytime you want any clothes, please come and choose. I guarantee that our stores nationwide will provide you with a lifetime of free service, and you can have priority to select any new limited edition clothes."
Marilyn glanced at Stephanie uneasily.
