Mitchel, however, seemed displeased and demanded, “Where's the manager?"

The male shop manager approached and bowed respectfully.

“Sir, what can I do for you?"

Mitchel's gaze shifted to the saleswoman, and he coldly stated, "Her service was unsatisfactory."

Flustered, the saleswoman hurriedly explained, "Sir, I... I didn't mean to spill the coffee."

She cast a glance at Eloise with a pitiful expression, hoping Eloise would help her prove her innocence.

Eloise, equally shocked, chimed in, “Mitchel, it's okay, I..."

But before she could finish, Mitchel fixed the manager with a stern look.

"How did your store even become part of this mall?"

The shop manager lowered his head and asked, “What would you like me to do, sir?"

“Fire her," Mitchel curtly said and then left the store.

The saleswoman was left dumbfounded. Her brief moment of triumph from the deals vanished, replaced by shock and fear.

On the verge of tears, she tried to follow Mitchel, but the manager held her back.

“This customer is a top-tier one," the manager explained.

“I'll send the surveillance footage to our headquarters for review. Go home for now."

Meanwhile, Eloise looked unsettled. She had a feeling that Mitchel had done that not in her defense but in Raegan's.

At this moment, she quickened her pace to catch up with Mitchel and then reached out to grasp his arm.

But then, Mitchel turned sharply and gazed at her with an icy gaze.

"I don't like being touched. Don't do that again.”

Eloise's eyes turned red, and her cheeks burned as if she had been slapped.
