A week past by quickly. Alicia's and Camilla's friendship had become stronger during that time.

Alicia faced with the Fat Mafia twice again. But he wise enough not to attend the battles himself.

He sent his minions but still, Alicia beat them all to a pulp. And in their last encounter, she broke another of the man's arms. And threatened to cut off in of he's balls if they were to meet again.

Ever since then, she hadn't seen him again. She didn't know what even happened to him. But it was non of her worries.

She had requested to be taking day shifts from then onwards so she could be with Camilla at night.

She had the worry that one of her enemies would somehow find her place and hurt Camilla when she wasn't around.

She wouldn't come to terms with herself if that happened. But her boss only gave her 4 days on the day shift.

Though she wasn't happy with the decision, there was nothing she could do. Unless she wanted to lose her job.

"Mam... I may I give a suggestion?" Camilla asked her boss with anxiety.

Although her boss' favourability towards her had increased over that time.

She didn't want to make a mistake and get yelled at like the other workers.

She always worked hard so she could avoid her fancy accent scolding. The one she did when scolding the other workers.

"Most certainly....." the elegant boos lady smiled at her. With crow's feet forming on her eyes.

Although she had a few wrinkles, she still looked relatively young.

"It's a way to increase the customers received in the store."

"Ah... I see proceed."

"Mam... Most of the customers that enter this store are rich and wealthy people looking for classy things. Yes, they bring in enough income but we could gunner more profit if we could attract those who are into simple and cheap things, those who can not afford the things in this store. I've noticed, they only pass by here and stare at the merchandise from afar. Then proceed to the other stores. "

The elegant boss's brow raised and a frown appeared on her face;" So you're suggesting we lower the prices? "

Camilla lowered her head when she saw the frown on her face. " No that's not what I mean. Every price tag in the store can remain the same. What I was suggesting was that you bring in affordable merchandise for those who can't afford the expense in this store. It will raise the popularity of your store and you can earn a daily side profit from it. Though it won't be as much as that from the rich people, when multiple of these new customers come in, their profits could even surpass the profits earned from the others daily. And the income will be stable and reliable. What do you think? " She waited for the boss lady's reply in anticipation.

The elegant boss lady went into thought for a second.

As she analyzed Camilla's statement for the gains and losses.

Though the gains were there, the losses were noticeable.

What would the fancy customers think when they see commoners share the same store as them? She couldnt just overlook the matter.

"I know what your thinking mam..... Don't worry about that. We can divide the store into the fancy and common. What do you think?"

The elegant boss lady's face lit up, as what Camilla said made complete sense.

She couldn't help but praise her intelligence. "That's a superb idea, darling! I'll think about the matter. And will check on what my suppliers have. Where do you get such great ideas?!"

"it's nothing mam.... Like I told you before, I used to read a lot of fashion and business magazines when I was young." a small blush crept up her face at the praise.

"Well, it paid off! Keep up the good work!" the boss lady excitedly walked to her office as she planned to start drawing the designs for her new store.

With the boss gone, Camilla continued with her job. "Miss. How can I help you?"

But as she showed the customer around the place, and gave her suggestions, she heard an extremely familiar voice.

And not a pleasant one at that!

Her expression turned grim and her heart's rhythm changed. With each beat being more painful than the other.

"Sorry, miss... Let me first attend to seething. Feel free to check out the Gonzalez Feather dress." she said before turning around to look at the source of the voice.

And like she guessed, the cruel Lorene was the source of the voice! Although she wore big round sunglasses and a big sunhat to hide her appearance, she knew it in her gut that it had to be her.

"hmm... I think I'll have that bag... And those heels and that dress." Lorene excitedly pointed out the items that caught her attention, "What do you think, Kyle?"

"Mm... They are great. Let's get over with." Kyle stood magnificently beside her with his hands held behind his back. Completely uninterested. He wore a black Saint Laurent roll-neck jumper that covered his neck. Adding to his glorious beauty and personality.

"Oh come on Kyle.... Don't be such a grumpy old man." Lorene teased as she slid her arm into Kyle's and leaned her head on his shoulder.

But Kyle completely ignored her as he looked at an odd ring in the display glass.

"Where's the attendant?" she raised her head and looked around.

And her eyes stopped on the lady in a black suit.

Though she had no make-up on, she still looked beautiful!

Tears could be seen wailing up under her eyes lids as she stood there motionlessly staring back at them.

"Y O U?" both Lorene and Kyle asked in unison.

Though Kyle's statement was supposed to be that of a shocked person, he still had his emotionless expression on. Which made his words sound like an emotionless AI said them.

"Wait you know her?" Lorene ignored Camilla as she looked up at the beautiful Kyle's face.

She removed her sunglasses so she could clearly see his scared expression after her question.

But like always, not even a single emotion was plastered on his face. He didn't even bother explaining. Acting like he had heard nothing at all.

His actions embarrassed Lorene but she didn't mind it. It happened a lot.

She switched her gaze back at Camilla and shot daggers with her stare.

If looks could kill, Camilla would be dead by now!

She had expected Camilla to be on the streets in her poor state. Yet here she was at the BBK store. Healthy and fine!

She wanted to see her in the gutters desperately begging for food and money! So she could splash dirty water on her with her speeding car.

If she could take away her acting career from her, she would definitely do the same with this job! And she wouldn't stop until she felt satisfied.

"What are you doing there? Come and give me what I want. I'm a customer here after all. Hurry!" she started.

But Camilla remained motionless as a tear landed on the collar of her white shirt.

"Hello...is the customer service here this poor. It's like I am talking to a log." Lorene raised her voice so as to attract the attention of whoever was in charge.

As if knowing her plan, Camilla snapped out of her daze and wiped her tears momentarily, before walking to the duo and asking, "How may I help you miss?" though she tried to force a smile on her saddened face, saying those words hurt!

Having to show respect and act kind towards the person that betrayed you hurt more than a thousand needles pierced into one's heart.

" Hmmm..... At least you brought your stupid ass here. " Lorene played with the sunglasses in her hand as she circled Camilla. Pretending to look at the bags on the shelves.

"Mm... That one. I want that one." she pointed her glasses at a blue Gucci bag.

Camilla swallowed the lump in her throat as she obediently retrieved the bag. "Of cause... You're so rich that you can afford the most expensive bag here?" she murmured as she stepped on a stool and reached out for the bag.

"Hmm... What was that?" Lorene asked raising her brow.

"Nothing miss."

Just as her fingers were closing the grip on the bag, she felt the stool under her feet wobble. And the next moment, she was falling to the ground.

Lorene smiled wickedly as she saw Camilla tumble down the stool. And the bag fall to the ground before her.

But her mischievous smile was short-lived when she didn't hear the thud she was waiting for!

Kyle hovered above Camilla with his arm wrapped around her tiny waist.

Camilla held on to his shoulders as they stared into each other's eyes.

Lorene's face paled in anger at the sight!

She felt like something precious was being taken away from her when she saw them look at each other.

She immediately pried Camilla's hands off Kyle's shoulders and gave her a tight slap across her face. And poor Camilla didn't have the strength to fight back. She only held her slapped reddened cheek.

"Look..... Look what you've done you dimwitted baboon!" Lorene pointed at the blue bag the lay on the ground. Damaged.

The golden chain that held it had snapped and its logo had broken off.

In reality, she wasn't angry because of the broken bag. But the fact that her plan had backfired. At least not fully. Although she didn't get to hurt Camilla, she could still make her lose her job.

She had made sure to knock the stool Camilla was standing on only when Kyle wasn't looking.

But like as if he had eyes at the back of his head, he jumped in right before Camilla could reach the floor.

The scene had attracted the customers that were in the store at the moment.

"Isn't that Lorene? What is she doing here!"

"Don't tell me she shops from here too!"

"Now what has that shop attendant done? She seems angry at her."
