Unexpected Encounter with my Boss

Chapter 15

"What did you say?" Ivy glared at Tiffany. "Are you not going to be responsible for what you did?"

Tiffany glanced at Ivy's dress. "That's not it. First off, I was just standing here. You were the one who bumped into me. So, it wasn't my fault. Secondly, even if it was my fault, I won't pay 39 thousand dollars for this!"

Ivy had never expected Tiffany, who was usually so timid. dare to talk back to her now. Aside from being shocked, she was mostly annoyed.

"I was walking from over here, but you blocked the way and wouldn't let me through. If not, how could I have bumped into you? Also, my dress is worth 39 thousand dollars-you have to pay me exactly that amount, not a penny less! Or I won't let you off!" She felt that Tiffany was just a coward who would get terrified easily after being threatened a little. Hence, she thought Tiffany would be easy to manipulate.

To her surprise, Tiffany said, "Your dress isn't worth 39 thousand dollars."

Ivy's eyes immediately widened. "What nonsense is this? The brand of this dress is an international brand and not something you can buy from the street stalls. It's fine that you can't recognize what this is, but could you stop spouting nonsense?" "I didn't. You're wearing a counterfeit." Tiffany's tone was nonchalant, but her words took everyone by surprise.

Ivy's face turned a little pale. "You liar! This isn't a fake, it's authentic! Tiffany Lloyd, did you come up with such a lame excuse because you don't want to compensate me?"

Tiffany looked around. Their colleagues were watching from the side. But it was clear that everyone was more inclined to believe in Ivy's words.

In the end, Alex spoke up. "Ivy, show Tiffany your receipt."

"I didn't buy this dress myself. A friend gave it to me as a gift. How would I have the receipt?" Ivy rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction. "Mr. Zander, you're not going to side with Tiffany too, are you?"

Alex was the head of the executive department. Not only that, but he was also the highest-ranking employee in the company and only reported to Vincent. He would not possibly side with anyone.

Tiffany did not want to trouble him either. She then said to Ivy, "We can just get someone to check if the dress is authentic or not."

"Let's do it then! I'm not afraid!"

Lewis Group had its own clothing brand department. It wouldn't be difficult to get someone over from the team for authentication. Alex made a call. Soon, the manager of that department, Oliver Reynolds, came over.
