Just as she uttered a few words, a chilly voice wafted over from nearby. “Yeah, when shopping for clothes, you
gotta cut your coat according to your clothes, right?”
Natalie turned to see Lydia and Gracia, sporting designer sunglasses, standing at the entrance of the boutique.
Their faces were etched with scorn as they looked her and Rosie up and down.
“Well, if it isn’t my dear sister. Fancy running into you here.” Gracia said with a sly smile, her voice hushed.
Lydia and Gracia were killing twhile waiting for a response from the jewelry store’s head office about a
possible refund, so they decided to pop into the boutiques nearby. They hadn't expected to witness Natalie's
embarrassing moment.
Rosie glanced at Gracia, recognizing who she was, and couldn’t help but frown. “What do you mean? Are you
insulting yourself again?” Rosie sneered.
“You!” Gracia was taken aback, at a loss for words.
Rosie continued with disdain, “Or are you just upset because you didn’t get enough of a spotlight the last time?

Natalie just looked at Lydia and Gracia briefly, then turned her gaze away as if they were unworthy of her
attention.
A young sales associate, who had been attending to other customers, hurried over when she heard the
commotion, her voice soft as she tried to defuse the situation. “If you ladies would like to try something on, we
have fitting rooms right this way. Letshow you.”
Rosie, still feeling defiant, wanted to carry on the argument.
“Rosie,” Natalie gently placed her hand on Rosie's shoulder, signaling her to stop.
They exchanged a look. With a subtle cue from Natalie, Rosie understood there was an unspoken plan at play
and fell silent.
“Do you know how much this D-list actress makes for an episode? A mere pittance.” Gracia, still fuming over
Rosie’s words and Natalie's dismissive attitude, strutted into the store and spoke with cold disdain. “Five
thousand per episode! Even if she’s on a mega series with over fifty episodes, she'd barely make a quarter
million in half a year. Affording a dress worth almost one hundred and seventy grand? What a joke! | think this
dress would look perfect on me.”
As she spoke, she effortlessly snatched the dress from Natalie's hands.
Natalie ignored her, continuing to peruse the other styles in the display, her expression unreadable.
“And yet you dare to browse our high-end collection?” An older sales associate couldn't help but snicker. “Honey,
take my advice, that discount store across the street is more your speed.

Why not enjoy wearing something that doesn’t break the bank? A few hundred bucks and you're golden.”
Seemingly ignoring everything else, Natalie picked up a hanger and inquired the sales associate. “Do you have
this in a small size?”
“We have a full range of sizes in the store, including small, but what's the point of asking? You can’t afford it
anyway,” the sales associate replied, shaking her head with a mixture of pity and skepticism.

The associate seemed to recognize Gracia as skind of celebrity and immediately turned. her attention to
her, enthusiastically suggesting various outfits.
Gracia gave Natalle a smug smirk.
Natalie stood her ground, watching them for a moment, then turned to scrutinize the surrounding racks. She
selected a few items and said to the young sales associate who was waiting nearby. “I don’t need your
assistance, you go attend to your other customers.”
After that, she addressed the other sales associate who was overly friendly with Gracia. “You, chere. Along
with these pieces, | want everything else wrapped up.”
The sales associate paused, doubting her ears.
After a few seconds of silence, she cautiously confirmed with a note of skepticism in her voice, “Everything?
Without trying them on?”
“Yes, everything. Size small,” Natalie affirmed with a nod and then pointed to the dress in Gracia’s hands.
“Including that one she’s holding. Wrap that up too.”
“Are you blind? That's the dress | want!” Gracia exclaimed, furrowing her brows in irritation.
