Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl

Esther clicked her tongue. "You may be a VIP here, but you wouldn't look good in that."

The woman was angry when she heard that. She was tall and beautiful, so why wouldn't she look good in it?

Esther wasn't someone people could walk over, so she started pointing out the woman's flaws. "Your waist isn't slim enough, and your bust is too small. Your legs aren't long, and it seems like you don't take care of your skin. Why not invest a bit more in skincare? You're in your thirties but look older."

The woman was caught off guard, thinking the designer wouldn't be there that day. She thought she could get away with her behavior since she was a regular and believed the staff wouldn't dare confront her.

But being caught by the designer herself was a different story, putting her in a position where she felt she couldn't shop there anymore. She quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile. "It's just a

misunderstanding..."

Sydney, who was a foreigner but spoke the language fluently and with elegance, couldn't hide her anger. "So my designs are just for you to trample on, is that it?"
