Chapter 1228

Lily recalled Alexander mentioning the name a few times, and how Secretary Rollins adored his daughter. He’d even invited Alexander to her birthday party the following month, an event Alexander had wanted to bring Lily to.

At the time, Lily had dismissed it. Why would a pregnant woman attend a little girl's birthday party? Besides, she didn't know Secretary Rollins's daughter. She'd forgotten about it entirely, writing it off as a joke.

Still, the person who reserved this dress clearly held significant influence. The salesgirl, however, had no right to be so dismissive.

"Oh?" Lily smiled. "What does that have to do with me?"

"B-But..."

"All I know is you recommended this dress, and I love it. Now I want to buy it, and you're telling me it's not for sale?"

Lily produced her phone. "If that's the case, I think I should call your manager or someone higher up to clarify this boutique's policies."

The salesgirl's face paled. She hadn't expected this pregnant woman to be so assertive. She'd already told Lily the dress was reserved for Secretary Rollins's daughter, so she couldn't understand Lily's persistence. Wasn't she afraid of offending the Rollins family?

Interrupted repeatedly, Jane only dared to glance at her colleague. "What should we do?"

If this reached higher management, they would both face repercussions.

Initially, Lily hadn't intended to be forceful. It was just a dress; she could find another. But she couldn't tolerate the salesgirl's condescending attitude. She had to teach her a lesson.

The salesgirl gritted her teeth as Lily dialed. She quickly interjected, "Madam, are you sure you want this dress?"

Her colleagues were stunned.

"Isn't that clear enough?" Lily questioned.

"Then you can pay here," the salesgirl said politely, gesturing.

Her colleague hastily pulled her aside, whispering, "Are you crazy? Ms. Rollins is picking up this dress tomorrow. How will you explain this?"

Ignoring her, the salesgirl took Lily's card, swiped it expressionlessly, and had Lily sign the receipt. While packing the dress, she asked, "Would you like to try it on?"

"No, it's fine."

The dress's elegant style made it obvious Lily would look stunning in it.

"All right, then. Have a good day. We hope to see you soon!" The salesgirl remained polite and professional throughout the transaction, leaving even her colleagues bewildered.

Lily, too, raised an eyebrow, a knowing smile playing on her lips as she departed with the dress.

Once she left, the other employees surrounded the salesgirl. "How could you sell that dress?! We can't afford to offend Ms. Rollins!"

"Who says we have to deal with Ms. Rollins?" The salesgirl sneered, holding Lily's signed receipt. "We didn't take Ms. Rollins's dress! She should confront whoever did. Why is it our problem?" She glanced at the signature. 'Lily Christian? Wait, Lily Christian?'
