197 It's bad for business

When Jessa went to the women's boutique, she quickly came out because of the price tag on the mannequin. She caught Allison going to the other stall. Hence, she went to another one to check if there was something she could buy for her husband. -

After minutes, Jessa realized nothing could suit her husband here. Thus, she went to the stall where Allison was. She didn't plan to get inside and simply thought of what task she would give the children to keep them busy after exam week.

While idling, she heard Mrs. Miller's voice. That woman's voice was so loud that even Jessa, who was outside, could hear everything. She didn't plan to interfere, since she was curious about how Allison would deal with it. Much to her disappointment, Allison backed down and chose the peaceful route.

"I am tactless too, Jessa admitted, almost making Mrs. Miller throw up blood. "So what? We're the same in that matter. You had a personal problem with someone and you made a scene in public.

"I'd want to speak to the manager!" she continued, casting the staff a look. "Come on. Chop chop!"

Allison pressed her lips into a thin line, watching Jessa glare daggers at Mrs. Miller and the other shoppers. None of them dared say another word, afraid Jessa would shamelessly drag them in

this as well.

"Hah!" Jessa scoffed and her sharp eyes landed on Allison. "Tss. Pay for those things. Go on. I got this."

'Actually, I don't feel like buying anything anymore,' was what Allison wanted to say, but she nodded. As Allison walked away, she glanced at Jessa once more who was still having a glaring competition with Mrs. Miller.

"All of you!" Jessa raised her voice and pointed her finger at everyone. "If you think raising children is a piece of cake, why don't you give birth ten more times?! Goodness! The hypocrisy in here is through the roof! If you think your whining is gonna do anything, then go buy somewhere else. This shop is popular locally and internationally. If you think leaving now is a
