chapter 1080 Being Held Up
Emmanuel chuckled and quickly responded, “What are you talking about? If you say that, I’ll get upset. I am your husband, so
what’s wrong with buying clothes for my wife? It’s my responsibility and privilege!”
His sincere words unintentionally struck a chord in Mackenzie’s heart.
This fool, why does he always say things that make me weak in the knees?
“I’m just concerned that you might spend too much money. After all, you don’t have a job or any source of income right now!”
Mackenzie’s concern made Emmanuel nervous.
If his wife further questioned where the money came from, he didn’t know how to answer.
Fortunately, Mackenzie’s phone suddenly rang.
This time it was Lexi!
“What? There’s a party tomorrow night hosted by the Summerton family from Onza?”
Mackenzie was slightly surprised to hear this.
Why would the Summerton family from Onza hold an upscale party in Yeringham?
“Lexi, wait a moment!”
As Mackenzie still needed some time to talk to Lexi, she told Emmanuel, “Emmanuel, you go ahead and pick something from the
stores on the top floor. I’ll come look for you later!”
“Alright.”
Emmanuel could have waited for her to finish the call, but since his wife said so, he couldn’t just stand there. With that, he
walked into a high–end branded store alone.
“Welcome... to our store!”
first and then
A female salesperson greeted him, but her tone was warm at turned cold when she saw Emmanuel’s attire.
Emmanuel had a rough idea of her change in attitude. This was one of the most expensive shopping areas in Yeringham, and
the way be dressed gave them the impression that he couldn’t afford anything and was just browsing.
“Sir, may I ask what you’re looking to buy?”
The saleswoman’s name was Rosy. She directly stopped Emmanuel and asked.
“Um, just browsing for now.”
Emmanuel thought she was being friendly.
Little did he know that when she heard him say that, Rosy became even more convinced that he wasn’t there to make a
purchase. She coldly said, “Sir, everyone’s time is valuable. If you haven’t decided what you want to buy yet, you can go outside
and think about it before coming in!”

hat are you talking about?
Emmanuel wasn’t angry but he found her being unreasonable Who goes into a clothing store only after deciding
hat they wanted to buy?
On the contrary, Rosy became angry and said with a cold expression, “This is a branded store. Every piece of clothing here is
very expensive. I suggest you figure out your budget before coming in, so as not to waste everyone’s time!
I don’t know how expensive they are until I see them!”
Emmanuel found it a bit amusing and said, “If your time is so valuable, then I don’t need you to accompany me as a guide”
“Sorry, things here are expensive, we don’t encourage aimless browsing and touching! Sir, please leave,” Rosy said while raising
her hand to signal Emmanuel to leave directly.
Emmanuel felt disrespected, even humiliated!
He pointed directly at the other customers in the store and asked. “Then why can they browse and buy at the same time?”
Rosy turned her head and glanced at the other customers before letting out a cold laugh.
“Those customers are all dressed in high–end clothes. Moreover, many of them are our VIP clients. As for you, do you think you
can compare with them? Haha!” she said while gesturing toward Emmanuel’s attire.
Emmanuel didn’t necessarily have to buy from this store, but being treated like this instantly ruined his good mood.
At this moment, a cold and elegant woman walked in from outside.
As soon as Rosy and the other salespeople saw her, they immediately greeted her respectfully and lined up neatly. They even
bowed to the cold and elegant woman and greeted, “Ms. Quillen, welcome!”
“Mm,” Mackenzie responded casually, then walked over to Emmanuel and gently linked her arm with his.
All the salespeople were stunned upon seeing that!
Rosy froze on the spot!
What is going on?!
“Have you made your selection?” Mackenzie asked Emmanuel calmly.
“Not yet,” Emmanuel replied.
“Why not? You’ve been here for a while, haven’t you?” Mackenzie asked, pretending to be surprised.
In fact, she had just witnessed what happened outside the door.
Sure enough, Rosy quickly walked over in her high heels and bowed as she apologized to Mackenzie and Emmanuel. “Ms.
Quillen, I’m sorry! I was the one who held up this gentleman!”
As she spoke, she also secretly glanced at Mackenzle.
