BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1942 - Blanc Store In Fairfield (2)
Sarah and Aiden walked into the Blanc store, and Sarah was happy to see that it\'s spotless.
The floor, counters, and display cases are made of white marble, the walls are covered with mirrors, and black silk is lining every surface under the jewelry that is available for customers to see under the glass-covered displays. One display is featuring pieces made out of black gold, and they are placed on white silk in order to stand out more.
There is a small lounge area with a three-seater sofa, two sofa chairs, and a coffee table, and just like any other Blanc store, this one has a private room in the back for exclusive customers who want to check out selections without fear that someone will see them buying expensive jewelry.
A side table in the lounge area has offerings of biscotti, coffee, tea, and flavored water.
It\'s a perfect place to enjoy while picking a unique piece of jewelry that can be used for bling, functionality, and bragging. It\'s three in one.
Sarah\'s mood chilled instantly when she saw two salesgirls behind the counter, both smiling at Aiden and checking him out shamelessly. They were both in their early twenties, pretty to look at in their white uniforms with black accents that all customer-engaging employees of Blanc wear.
Sarah exhaled in frustration. Aiden is grumbling about Noah and Aaron (and Maksim), but is he not seeing the effect he has on the females around him? Realistically speaking, Sarah\'s circle of admirers is much smaller than Aiden\'s.
Normally, in Los Angeles, they are mingling with people who are aware of their identities as Mr. and Mrs. White, and in Eastern Europe, she associated shameless women with baddies. However, looking at these two plain females, Sarah was reminded how women swoon over her husband, regardless of their background, and she contemplated getting Eve to operate drones that will deliver an electric shock to any woman who dares to ogle at Aiden. It is one thing if he is on his own and they are not aware he is taken, but Sarah was right by his side, and he was holding onto her!
She felt like shouting just how Aiden did outside the mall, \'This is my husband! Get lost!\'. But she can\'t tell her own employees to get lost… or can she?
Sarah realized that two young women didn\'t recognize them as owners! Well, if she ignores that they are eyeing Aiden, this is a rare opportunity for them to check out the store as customers in order to experience the high-end service their clients receive.
She moved her fingers swiftly and sent a message to Aiden on Eve-lens to conceal their identities as owners, and Aiden responded with a hum absentmindedly. He was looking at the jewelry and didn\'t pay attention to the salespeople.
Both young ladies approached them, and Sarah\'s sight fell on their nametags: \'Bryn\' and \'Kaia\'.
"How can we help you?", Kaia said in a singing voice while her eyes didn\'t leave Aiden.
"We are here to see the latest sets.", Sarah said only to be ignored.
Kaia moved to stand in front of Aiden and smiled. "Do you see something that interests you?"
If this was Sarah from before, she would blow up in anger because Kaia was flirting with Aiden openly, but after everything they went through, Sarah was beyond that, and she knew that girls like Kaia are ants: annoying and easy to squish, albeit there are many of them. Well, she can squish them anytime, as long as there are no witnesses.
However, Sarah was upset that this is their store, and the behavior of salesgirls is detrimental for business. It is not only about mistreating a customer or two, but about creating a negative experience that can spread online and impact the reputation of the company.
Sarah took a mental note to check reviews for this store, not the ones that were moderated before being published, but the ones that were submitted by the customers.
Aiden was focused on display cases, and when Kaia blocked his view, he looked at her and then at Bryn who was not so outgoing, but she didn\'t try to correct Kaia\'s behavior either.
\'So much for exemplar employees\', Aiden thought. Don\'t all salespeople go through the training on how to deal with customers?
Blanc is a luxury brand of jewelry, but it\'s not about selling precious stones and metals to the VIPs, Blanc is about making every potential customer feel like a VIP from the moment they step into the store. After all, it is proven that happy customers buy more and come for seconds, and right now, Aiden was not happy.
Within a second, he understood Sarah\'s request to conceal their identities… she wanted to see how far this will go.
Aiden frowned. Did Kaia offer jewelry or herself? How can they totally ignore Sarah\'s presence like she is not there?
Well, Sarah said not to reveal that they are owners, but he will not allow this blatant disrespect.
Aiden gestured toward Sarah. "My wife is interested in checking out your collections, sets to be precise. If you want to make a sale, I recommend that you treat her with respect as a customer and stop ogling at me."
His blunt approach made both Bryn and Kaia pause for a few seconds before their faces flushed in embarrassment.
Bryn blinked rapidly. "I was not ogling."
Aiden waved his hand, indicating that he does not care. "Whatever you say. We are here to see your merchandise and make a purchase if we like something. If you can\'t be professional salespeople, I suggest that you hand in your resignation."
He had no intention of being polite to these two. Sarah and Aiden came here to enjoy their afternoon and if this is how they treat Sarah and their business, it can\'t be enjoyable. To make things worse, Sarah is hormonal and if she gets upset, their whole trip might be ruined. If that happens, girls or not, those two will get a beating!
Bryn was completely flustered, but Kaia was angry.
In Kaia\'s opinion, Aiden is handsome, but that does not give him the right to treat them like lower species. Also, those jeans and leather jackets look average-costing at most, can they even afford the simplest pendant from the Blanc store?
Kaia lifted her chin arrogantly. "You say that you are customers? I would like to see you show that you have enough credit to buy things here. How much I know, you are here to steal things."
Sarah frowned. "Is this how you treat all your customers or only the ones who reject your advances?"
Kaia rubbed the nails of her right hand across her thumb. There is no way she will admit to making a move on Aiden. "Only the ones who came here to steal."
Sarah blinked. Well, she has a reputation of swiping things, but only from baddies, and definitely not from her own store. That would be redundant!
"What makes you think that we thieves?", Sarah asked.
Kaia sneered. "Just look at yourselves. You better leave, before I call security."
