But soon, his smile faded.
"I'm sorry, sir. Your bank balance is insufficient."
Thea handed the card back to Ruby with a smile full of mockery.
"Insufficient? How is that possible? I have more than 100,000 on that card. Isn't that enough for a dress?"
He looked shocked by her words.
"I'm sorry, sir, but the dress is 300,000. It's the latest style, and there's no discount."
"T-Three hundred? This is robbery!"
"Isn't it just a dumb dress? How can it be worth so much?!"
James couldn't believe a dress could cost 300,000 and angrily waved his hands at Thea.
"Our store clearly displays the prices. We're not trying to deceive you."
"If our prices aren't to your liking, feel free to shop elsewhere, sir."
Thea wasn't bothered at all. She smiled politely and "kindly" helped Ruby out of the dress.
Ruby hadn't bought a new dress since the Bently family fell from grace.
