Chapter 129: Recognition “What the fuck is happening here?” Grey yelled as he moved closer, and
stood in front of Beatrice whose head was bowed in shame. “Women like this shouldn’t be allowed to
shop while we are shopping,” the lady with David sneered.
David regarded Grey for a moment and suddenly laughed. “What the fuck! It’s Grey! And,” he trailed off
as he looked over at Beatrice again.” Is this woman your mother?” ” Yes, do you have any problem with
that?” Grey declared, not even thinking for a moment before replying.
David laughed again, “I said it! I knew you displayed a fake membership card that day. There was no
way you would get a Hercules membership card. You couldn’t cater for yourself when you were in
school. You had to beg almost every student for inoney. You were so poor and you still are. Look at
how your mother is dressed so poorly?” “I seriously can’t be shopping in here with her,” the lady beside
David said annoyingly. “This boutique belongs to everyone. I don’t know why some people have to
leave for you. Why don’t you get a boutique of your own before you start blabbering? “He muttered.
” You must be so overjoyed, your mother left you for so long, didn’t she? And I’m sure you came here
to see the clothes and not actually buy them,” he looked at one of the salespeople.” This person is very
poor. He wouldn’t buy anything here. He’s just liere to disturb your d that’s how he had been doing,” he
instigated.
Grey smiled softly, restraining himself from attacking him. He felt so angry.
“Send him out or I will leave,” David said at once.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe salesperson looked so confused as she stared at Grey. David was one of their regulars and liad
earned her a lot of commission. In fact, there were days when he would compensate all the
Salespeople on duty whenever he came. He couldn’t trade David for someone like Grey. So, she made
up her mind immediately. Well, it doesn’t look like Grey has the money anyways, as David has said.
“Please, you have to leave now.” Grey head wiped towards the salesperson. “What? That’s wrong! You
don’t favor one of your pundits over another. Everyone should be treated with equal respect here!” He
raised his voice slightly above normal.
David smiled. “Not a customer that doesn’t have the money.” “Please, leave,” the salesperson urged.”
Or I will call the security on you,” she threatened. Beatrice tugged at Grey’s clothes. “Let’s leave, Grey.”
Grey shook his head stubbornly. “Why should I? I’m staying right here! And I’m going to get all I want
from this store!”
The salesperson moved to grab the telephone and call security but a man stepped inside suddenly.
“What is happening here?” “Sir, it’s great that you arrived earlier. This man has been constituting a
nuisance,” the salesperson pointed an accusing finger at Grey.” And he wouldn’t leave when I asked
him to.” The manager followed his path of description and looked at Grey. He recognized him
immediately. How could he forget the man that got the most expensive wristwatch from their store a
few days back? That aside, Aphrodite called him specifically about it. This means Grey knew who
Aphrodite was. Any mistake would mean the loss of his job.
“That’s not how to explain, you are intentionally siding with him. Well, you have been doing that before
he walked in,” Grey complained.
The manager looked at the salesperson. “Are you out of your mind? What do you think you are doing?”
He moved closer to Grey and bowed slightly.” I didn’t know you were coming over. If you had told me or
made Aphrodite call me, I would have prepared for you,” he said with respect.
David stared with eyes gone wide and dark with shock. “How come?” Grey nodded briefly.” You should
train your Salespeople. They are being very disrespectful.” The manager regarded the salesperson for
a while who had been fidgeting in fear. After seeing that her boss bowed for Grey, she knew there was
going to be trouble already.
“You are hereby fired!” The manager announced it suddenly and the salesperson fell to her knees in
tears. “For the rest of the salespersons here that couldn’t intervene and proffer a solution to this before
I walked in, you will all be suspended for two weeks.”
“Please, don’t dismiss me!” The salesperson begged.
Shock kept David motionless and speechless for a while. He couldn’t believe the card that Grey
displayed at the 5star restaurant. And well, Grey had been very poor when they were in school.
In fact, he had thought that the money he paid at the reunion was one of his lotteries. But the fact that
the Manager could bow to him was something out of ordinary. The manager has never bowed to him
after all this while patronizing the store.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“And for you, you are hereby blacklisted from shopping at our malls and stores and all our various
branches nationwide, till further notice,” the manager revealed.
“What!” David was more than shocked. “You can’t do this to me! You can’t blacklist me! I’m one of your
regulars! And I pay huge money!” David yelled in anger. “I will call security if you don’t leave,” The
manager said softly. David huffed and looked at Grey. “I don’t know what you did here but I will
definitely show you the steel I’m made up of,” and he stormed out of the store with the lady he came
with.
Grey wondered if the lady was liis new girlfriend. Cindy used to be his girlfriend.
“Boss, please have mercy on me. Don’t dismiss me,” the salesperson beseeched softly.
“The security will escort you out if you don’t do it yourself,” the manager warned in a thick voice. The
salesperson stood and eventually walked out of the store.
The manager turned to look at Grey again. “I’m very sorry for all the embarrassment. I will specifically
be the one to attend to you whenever you come around. Just request for me, please,
” he said with a smile. Grey nodded briefly. “That’s fine. But I’m not the one you should apologize to.
You should apologize to this woman,” he gestured at Beatrice.
The manager turned to look at Beatrice. “We are very sorry, Ma’am.”
Grey turned to look at Beatrice. “Are you alright, mother?” Beatrice had a tear on her face already and
it slowly dropped. She nodded slightly and smiled now. “I’m fine.”
Grey turned to the manager again. “I will get every piece of clothing she wants and everyone that looks
good on her,” he ordered.
The manager smiled softly,” I will do just that, sir.” He signaled for another salesperson to assist.
