Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Terribly sorry , but we still have other stores to visit , so we wont linger , Leia said to the sales associate , forcing a polite smile onto her face .

She grabbed Noelles hand and added , Noelle , lets go .

Ok Noelle extuled , feeling suffocated by the overly enthusiastic sales staff .

Leias sudden intervention was a welcome relief .

Kimberly quickly followed them out , noticing Leias sour expression .

Leis , why did you drag Noelle out like that ! Leia turned to Exce Kimberly , Iser expression shifting into one of exaggerated concern .

Mom , dont you think something feels … off about these stores ? Isnt it odd how overly cager they are ! Hmm .

maybe , Kimberly replied with a nod She had to admit , high end boutiques like these usually werent so eager to please .

Their family might be well off , but they were far from being in the league of clite billionaires .

Yet these salespeople were treating them like royalty it was baffling Leia pressed on her tone dripping with feigned innocence .

I think theyre targeting Noelle because shes too polite and easy to influence .

Theyre trying to coax her into buying things Well , salespeople are supposed to sell , arent they ? Kimberly replied .

Sure , but Noelle doesnt know how to say no ! If she gives in and agrees to buy something , do we really wa want to stand there and refuse one thing after another ! It would be embarrassing ! Lelas voice carried just the right mix of exasperation and logic .

Kimberly nodded , considering Leias point .

Youre right So , Mom , maybe we should call it a day .

Weve already bought plenty of clothes , Lela suggested , eager to avoid seeing Noelle soak up more attention To Leias annoyance , Kimberly didnt agree immediately .

Instead , she said , Lets wait a bit .

Weve bought clothes , but Noelle still needs some proper jewelry .

She looks too plain without it .

Well … alright , Leia replied , forcing a smile .
