Briana frowned. “Didn’t you tell her that ‘Adore You’ is not for sale?”
That dress was designed as a birthday present for Melody. Briana just didn’t have time to collect it from the store.
“I told her, but she is Adeline Ponce, Ms. Ponce insists on buying ‘Adore You’, and even said that she could pay ten times the price. I was afraid that I would offend the Ponce family, so I am not sure what to do.”
Briana thought for a while and said calmly, “Tell her that she can take any other piece of clothes in the store for free.”
“Okay, got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Amy walked up to Kiley and Adeline with an apologetic expression. “Ms. Ponce, I’m sorry, but our boss does not agree to sell ‘Adore You’. To sincerely express our apology, you can take any other piece of clothes in the store for free.”
A trace of excitement flashed in Adeline’s eyes. JM Studio’s dresses were novel in design, and the average price of each piece was nearly half a million. Before seeing “Adore You”, Adeline also took a fancy to several dresses.
She glanced at the other dresses. Although they were also very beautiful, compared with “Adore You”, they didn’t feel so brilliant.
Just seeing “Adore You”, Adeline could imagine how dazzling she would be at the party in this dress.
Adeline kept silent for a while. She looked at Amy with displeasure
and said, “Since the dress has been displayed by the clerk, it should be sold to the customer. Otherwise, if anyone takes a fancy to a dress in your store, you can say that is not for sale. Who will buy clothes here?
“I admit that JM Studio’s clothes are really good-looking, but it’s not my only option in Bridenville.”
Sensing Adeline’s threat, Amy felt a little impatient while still smiling.
“Ms. Ponce, this dress is really not for sale. You can look at other dresses.”
Adeline sneered. Her eyes were filled with anger. “What if I insist on buying this dress?”
The smile on Amy’s face faded a bit. “Ms. Ponce, no matter what you say, this dress is not for sale. I still have something to do. Ms. Ponce, take your time. Just tell the shop assistant which one you pick up. Excuse me.
Amy left.
Adeline was so angry that she stared at Amy’s back angrily, “Stop, otherwise I will never come to your store again and tell all my friends to boycott JM Studio! I will live up to my words!”
Amy’s eyes turned cold. She turned around to look at Adeline with a serious expression, “Ms. Ponce, I have explained to you that this dress is not for sale and this is our mistake. You can take any other piece of clothes in the store for free.
“But you are still making a fuss and threatening to boycott JM Studio. We don’t cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it. You can do whatever you want.”
Adeline’s face suddenly became even uglier. Just as she was about to say something, Kiley quickly grabbed her hand.
“Ms. Horton, don’t be angry. Adeline did all this because she liked this dress very much. I apologize to you on her behalf.”
Adeline frowned. She was about to fight back, but Kiley stopped her with a look.
Amy said calmly, “There is no need to apologize. It is our mistake after all. Ms. Schneider, please take your time. I will be excused.”
After Amy left, Adeline looked at Kiley with dissatisfaction and said, “Kiley, why did you stop me just now? She is just a store manager. How dare she be so arrogant in front of me?”
Kiley waited for a while and said in a low voice, “Adeline, you just returned, and you still don’t know JM Studio’s status in Bridenville. All rich ladies you know order custom-made dresses from JM Studio. If you offend them, it might not be a good thing.”
Adeline snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “It’s just a clothes store. What’s so great about it? I don’t believe there are no other brands. besides JM. Those international brands like DI and CH don’t dare to be
so arrogant!”
Kiley didn’t explain much. She said with a smile, “You will learn sooner or later. Let’s focus on picking up a dress. Didn’t you fancy several just now?”
“Compared with ‘Adore You’, I feel that something is missing in other dresses…”
“Adore You’ is not for sale, so we can only settle for the next best thing.”

As soon as Briana hung up the phone, Melody looked at her suspiciously, “What’s the matter with JM Studio?”
