The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 51

Xia Ling did not call out the name Sister Mai Na instantly. Instead, he said, "Do I have to accept your apology?" Her emotions had not been good all along, and despite being very calm in this life, she could not let it be so easy after being accused of being a thief.

Lucas smiled kindly. "Of course, I have to be sincere with my apology. Miss, how about this, all the clothes you get today will not be put into the tab. In addition, I will issue a membership card that gives you a 20% discount on your next purchase. "

The 20% membership discount card is the most appreciated for that brand – card it is the same as the one Li Bei Er currently holds.

Li Bei Er looked furious after hearing that. Why would he have to buy so many clothes and go to so many trouble for that membership card, while this country hick can only ask for it! However, he did not dare to appear before Lucas. It is said that he has a mysterious background and that it never ends well for anyone who offends him.

Xia Ling looked at Li Bei Er's distorted expression in the corner of her eyes. He smiled, "Sure, we'll do it that way."

“Hmph, the villain got away with it.” Li Bei Er did not dare to incur the wrath of the store owner, so she directed her anger at Xia Ling.

“Bos Lucas, the shopping environment in your boutique is really not so good.” Xia Ling swept over Li Bei Er with an accusatory look.

Lucas smiled at his statement. "Miss Li Bei Er, you know the regulations inside our store – make a fuss is not allowed. Since you deliberately broke the rules, I have no choice but to invite you to leave."

Li Bei Er widened her eyes in disbelief. What, Lucas is really chasing regulars because of the country's shabby hick? He will not obey. "How could you! I'm not the only one making a scene, this village hick is also …"

"Dignifying or degrading other customers will result in termination of membership" Lucas said calmly.

Only one line was needed to close Li Bei Er. He won't let that! He does often protect the store, but he is not too rich – 20% discount is a big inducement for him. Without a discount, there would be so many beautiful pieces that he would have to miss! He didn't want that, it was too stinging.

Li Bei Er was furious as she kept her mouth shut.

The smile on Lucas' face did not change. "Still not going, do I have to call the security guard?"

Li Bei Er had never expected that being the one to threaten Xia Ling with the security guards, she would eventually be expelled herself. Angry, he flushed and stomped quickly.

Xia Ling watched it open without any sense of regret at all. Whoever dares to bear his anger must be prepared to meet with a miserable ending. If not for Lucas' intervention, Xia Ling would not have let go so easily.

Lucas turned towards Xia Ling, recovering his friendly tone. "Are you satisfied with how I handled it?"

Xia Ling remained silent and apathetically shot Xiao Li a glance.

Lucas got the hint, but internally he shook his head, wondering where this demanding woman came from. But Xiao Li's way of discerning treatment towards customers was a big mistake as well, so he had to be taught a lesson.

Therefore, Lucas said, "Xiao Li, apologize to this woman here."

"What did you say? I can't hear you," Xia Ling sneered.

"…" Xiao Li gritted his teeth, raising his voice this time. "I'm sorry!"

"Oh? Why are you apologizing to me?" In Xia Ling's dictionary, there was no such thing as "going too far." Moreover, Xiao Li looked unapologetic and angry, not as if Xia Ling did not know.

Basic bullies! Xiao Li was furious as he raised his head and turned to Lucas, hoping that he could save her from this unreasonable and insatiable woman.

However, Lucas said, "The practical rule of apologizing is to make sure that the other party is assuaged."

Xiao Li could barely accept this, but he had no choice given the situation. Swallowing all his anger and unhappiness, he spoke as weakly as possible. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't be rude to customers, let alone accuse them of stealing. Please be generous and let me go!"

Yeah, it's not so bad. Xia Ling finally showed a satisfied expression.

Xiao Li had been watching his expression, at this moment, he finally felt relieved. What happened next is unexpected. Lucas spoke again. "Because you admit your wrongdoing, you have to take responsibility for it. Your bonus for the month will be up."

What –

Xiao Li took a deep breath after hearing this. A salesperson like him has a very low base wage and makes a living from the bonuses earned. Now that his bonus for the month had to be taken, how would he repay the debt for his credit card loan? Only now did Xiao Li truly regret what he had just done. How did he end up provoking such a demon? Paying with his dignity was a small matter compared to everything he had to sacrifice. . .

Xia Ling did not know what Xiao Li was thinking, but after all, she did not intend to help him. Lucas was right, someone had to take responsibility for the consequences of their actions, right? She smiled sweetly at Lucas. "The shopkeeper is fair and just."

All the unhappiness was overcome by Lucas.

Lucas sees her in a different light now – despite dressing shabby, with his sharp eyes he knows that he is not a fool. He had a kind of presence that allowed him to step like a diva even if the world saw him as poor. With her confidence, her ability to dazzle in any situation, everyone seemed insignificant to her.

He's interested in her. "I'm glad I can defend you. Can you, on my account, release this store? When you're leaving now, you hold …"

"Oh, you mean this," Xia Ling was stunned as she realized. No wonder Lucas did so much to help her, he must have seen her secretly moving. He pulled the phone out of his jacket and erased the audio recording in front of Lucas. All the evidence Li Bei Er and Xiao Li accused him of being a thief and drove him away for good.

“You really made a recording.” Lucas still has a lingering fear. If Xia Ling were to hand over this audio file to the media, the reputation of the store would be tarnished. Not only were the employees rude, but even the regular customers had an undesirable and low character. People will wonder: What kind of trash protects this store? Especially since his main consumers were rising celebrities, moreover they would be influenced by public sentiment and stay away from the brand, resulting in unthinkable losses for him.

This was also why Lucas had to quell Xia Ling's anger, no matter how much was needed.
