"If you slack off, you'll pay for it!" said Miranda's assistant, Ruby, speaking with an air of superiority. When the conversation reached this point, naturally, no one dared to offend.
Even the store manager responded with deference, saying, "Alright, Miranda, we'll ensure the gown you need is made with the utmost care."
"Tomorrow marks the most important charity auction gala for the York Corporation. Miranda needs to wear it. We need it ready by tomorrow!" the assistant emphasized.
The store manager felt troubled. She knew this gown had been altered countless times, and each time there would be new complaints. In all her years of professional experience, she had never been so meticulous. After so many alterations, she thought it was finally acceptable, but now it was sent back again.
The store manager said, "The gown was delivered. several days ago but you're only coming now. The gown is handmade, so if alterations are needed, they'll have to be done by hand, and it might not be done in time."
However, the assistant paid no heed. She simply remarked coldly, "Then you should halt your current tasks and concentrate on altering Miranda's gown. Don't be careless. This gala is crucial for Miranda. If you fail to complete the work andNôvelDrama.Org content rights.

disrupt her schedule, I doubt your store will even remain in business!"
Ever since Miranda gained media attention, this assistant felt confident that Mrs. York's position was secured, speaking rather rudely.
The store manager's expression grew grim. If they dedicated all their efforts to embroidering the flowers on this gown, other reserved outfits would be delayed, potentially offending other customers. They were in a difficult situation, especially since. they valued their reputation. This assistant truly put them in a tight spot.
Seeing the store manager remain silent, the assistant dropped the bag on the counter, "Is it really that difficult for you? You better weigh your options carefully. Offending others or displeasing the future Mrs. York-which would you regret more?"
The store manager felt uneasy. In this city, the York family seemed unassuming, conducting themselves and their affairs in a low-key manner, never seeking public attention.
However, the York family's influence ran deep, with Nash controlling the economic lifelines. Even this department store belonged to the York family. Offending them would have serious consequences. Her store would likely not survive.
The store manager could only muster a forced smile and say, "Alright, I understand. I'll give it a try."
The assistant sneered, "It's not just trying; it's a

Penelope Zimmerman shows up, she'll have to yield to Miranda!"
Penelope, mentioned by the assistant, was currently the hottest A-list actress. Every drama she starred in not only gained immense popularity but also boosted the careers of her co-stars, particularly the male actors. She was highly sought after in the entertainment industry.
Though her fame might not rival that of veteran actors, she held a significant position among the younger generation. Penelope frequently ordered gowns from this store, but now Miranda's presence overshadowed even Penelope's.
The store manager felt immense pressure from the assistant's words, breaking out in a cold sweat as she hurriedly nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Witnessing this scene, especially Yvonne, who had just calmed herself down, now felt a surge of anger again. "They're really flaunting their power. The ink's barely dry, and they act like everyone should bow down to them, even resorting to threats. This store has been around for generations, yet they dare to threaten its closure. Unbelievable!"
Nina looked at the assistant and suddenly understood something. She added, "This time Miranda's interview made quite a splash. She dominates the headlines, with every headline. featuring her. Whether it's her illness or her suicide. attempt, she always grabs attention, adept at self-
