Chapter 536
Tyler's eyes were dark and mysterious as he stared at Vicky dazedly.
Vicky's blood ran cold as she thought to herself, 'Gloria is still here, and he's already looking at me this
way simply because I dressed like her?'
Just then, they heard footsteps approaching, and Gloria stared at the two who were standing by the
door. "Vicky, Selene, why are you two standing by the door?"
Selene shot Vicky a contemptuous look and walked over to grab Gloria by the arm. "I got the wrong
person because you lent her your dress... Still, I think you look best in these sorts of dresses, and
anyone else who wears them just looks like a clown!”
It was indeed true that suitable styles would outline one's beauty to the full extent.
Vicky ignored Selene's sarcasm and strode into the room.
Once Vicky and Gloria took their seats, they started discussing the details that would go into Gloria's
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdress.
Though Gloria often dressed in elegant style, a concert was a different occasion, so Vicky suggested,
"During the performance, it’s best to choose a dress that's more glamorous with brighter colors-"
Before she could finish, Selene interrupted her sarcastically.
"Glamorous? Brighter colors? Vicky, don't you know that Gloria has always gone with a more elegant
and plainer style? Are you trying to get her to change her style, or are you simply plotting to make a
fool of her at her concert?
And you claim to be a fashion designer. I'm disappointed!"
"This is just my advice. You can take it, or leave it. Gloria does tend to dress more elegantly, but she is
a high-born lady, after all, so wearing something more glamorous won't affect her image. I understand
that Miss Rathborne doesn't have much knowledge regarding fashion, but I'm a professional, so please
accept my advice as expertise in the field."
Enraged, Selene slammed her palms onto the table." Professional? Is arguing with your customer what
you call professionalism? The service industry goes by one single rule, and that is to satisfy the
customer! Haven't you heard that customers are always right? Vicky, I can file a complaint against you
and make you pay for what you said!"
Contrary to her hysterical state, Vicky remained extremely calm. "Miss Rathborne, first of all, I serve
Miss Gloria Shaw, not you. Second of all, customers are always right, but service providers are humans
with pride as well. We will do our best to accommodate any reasonable request, but I simply cannot
condone your subjective accusations." She kept her eyes trained steadily on Selene and drawled,"
Service providers and customers are equals, and we aren't your slaves; the choice here is mutual. You
can choose to employ my service, and at the same time...I can choose if I want to serve you."
Selene paled as she was rendered speechless.
Vicky turned to Gloria and said, "I can refrain from giving any advice as Miss Rathborne here
requested, but if the concert turns out to be a disappointment. I'd like for Miss Shaw to not blame it on
my studio."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all the concerts Gloria had played in, she knew that Vicky was being truthful and could sense that
Vicky was truly offering her professional advice.
"Selene, that's enough. If you're bored, you can go upstairs to rest. I'll tell you when the discussion is
over," Gloria said.
"Gloria, I'm just trying to help!”
"Miss Rathborne, we don't have all the time in the world. If we drag this on any further, we probably
won't be able to get this done by midnight. I own my studio and I can rest whenever I want, but you
should know just how busy Gloria is. The more time you waste, the less time to rest. Are you sure that
you want to waste any more of her time?"
Selene clenched her fists and glared at Vicky with bloodshot eyes, but she could not find the words to
argue with how reasonable Vicky was.
She was so enraged that she felt as though she was having a heart attack.
Maestro Warner, who witnessed the entire scene, laughed." Tyler, your wife is someone special. I'm
impressed that she can keep composure even when facing a difficult customer!" Tyler narrowed his
eyes. "How do you know?"
