Chapter 703
Upon hearing this, Shelly immediately felt angry and embarrassed. "Why do you need to verify my card? Your store manager knows I'm coming today. Just call her directly," she hissed.
Irinna, not wanting to upset Shelly, turned around and made the phone call.
Meanwhile, Blair mocked Shelly, saying, "Shelly, don't you possess a VIP membership card? Why not just present it? It's unfair to take it out on the staff."
"It's obvious you don't have a VIP membership card. You're just trying to act important. Maybe it's a good thing the store manager isn't here. If she were, she'd expose your lies, and that would be even more embarrassing," Caroline chimed in.
Fuming with embarrassment, Shelly shot Irinna a glare. "Have you finished making the call? Get your manager here immediately!"
Irinna set her phone down and addressed Shelly, saying, "I'm sorry, Ms. Barrett, but I couldn't get in touch with Ms. Gianna. Would you mind waiting for a moment?"
"Get these two women out of here for me, right now!" Shelly bellowed.
Irinna hesitated before saying, "Ms. Barrett, our store wasn't notified in advance about a VIP member booking the venue. Could you please wait a little longer?"
Blair immediately laughed, saying, "Shelly, stop pretending to be a big shot. If you don't have VIP status, don't act like you do. It's embarrassing to get caught pretending, isn't it?"
Shelly stood there, her face flushed with embarrassment. She had never felt so humiliated, especially in front of Blair. She wished she could just disappear into a hole right there and then. It was truly infuriating.
Shelly had assumed that everything had been arranged flawlessly. She was told to arrive early, inform the manager, and enjoy the privileges of VIP membership.
However, to her surprise, the manager was unresponsive and nowhere to be found!
As Shelly seethed with frustration, Mia strolled in casually and remarked, What's happening? It seems quite lively here!"
Seeing Shelly's agitated state, Mia couldn't help but feel a hint of satisfaction. Nonetheless, she composed herself and asked, "Shelly, what's wrong? Did someone upset you?"
"Monalize, you're finally here!" Shelly exclaimed with relief. She had been on the verge of leaving in embarrassment.
However, upon spotting Mia, her eyes lit up, and she promptly approached her.
"Monalize, I made it to the store early. I was planning to ask the manager to clear the area so we could shop without any interruptions.
"But guess what? The manager is nowhere to be found, and she's not picking up her phone. And now, these people are mocking me, accusing me of not having a VIP membership card and simply pretending."
Mia paused briefly before responding, "But you never actually had a VIP membership card, did you?"
Shelly's expression froze, clearly displeased by Mia's remark.
However, Mia swiftly interjected with a smile, saying, "I'm just teasing you, don't take it too seriously."
Shelly forced a strained smile, realizing she had to endure the situation for the sake of the VIP membership card.
As luck would have it, the missing store manager, Gianna, appeared at that moment.

else is."

you please clear the area?"
