Chapter 104

Chapter 104:

“Since I know she’s at Vicin Mall, finding her should be easy,” Vivian said before heading back to her car. “Contact Benjamin. The Warren Group is connected to Vicin Mall. He probably knows the staff there. Tell him to look into it.”

The driver nodded and got back into the driver’s seat to make the call. He dialed Benjamin’s number and waited.

Benjamin answered the call. After a moment’s pause, he agreed to help before quickly ending the conversation.

Vivian’s act of secretly following Eileen to the Vicin Mall surprised Benjamin.

Holding the phone tightly, Benjamin thought of Eileen.

Just then, Kian came out of the office and said, “Get ready for the meeting.”

“Understood,” Benjamin quickly pulled himself together and nodded, heading to the meeting room while sending a message to the manager of Vicin Mall as he walked.

Eileen welcomed her first customer of the day, a woman in her thirties looking for a dress for a banquet in two weeks that wasn’t too showy.

“Could I try this dress on? It looks beautiful,” the woman asked, picking out a sapphire dress.

Eileen quickly responded, “Of course!”

As the woman got ready to try on the dress, Essie and Aniya came over at the same time. One reached for the dress while the other approached the customer.

“Miss, the fitting room is this way. Please follow us…”

Eileen quickly scooped the dress into her arms, avoiding Essie’s attempt to grab it, and stopped Aniya, who was about to lead the woman to the fitting room.

“You two stay here; I’ll take care of this customer,” Eileen said.

The air thickened with tension among the three. Oblivious to the conflict, the woman simply paused before walking toward the fitting room.

Ignoring the sour expressions of Essie and Aniya, Eileen led the woman into the fitting area and shut the door behind them. She turned to the woman and handed her the dress. “The fitting room is right there. This dress zips up in the back. If you need any help, just let me know.”

The woman took the dress with a smile and went into the fitting room. She came out shortly after.

The woman’s taste was excellent, and the style of the dress was appropriate for her age. The woman quickly decided to buy the dress.

Eileen used a tape measure to take the woman’s measurements to customize a dress in the same style.

“It’ll take at least five days to make the dress, at most seven. You can leave your number with me, and I’ll call you as soon as it’s ready,” Eileen said.

She handed over her phone with a smile. The woman quickly added Eileen as a contact, settled her bill at the front desk, and left.

The dress was quite affordable, priced at just over thirty thousand. Eileen was used to handling such customers. She didn’t plan on stealing regulars from Aniya and Essie. That would be out of line.

As Eileen worked to keep the customer engaged, Aniya and Essie saw Eileen as being too strategic. They worried Eileen would try to take their clients.
