The Mysterious Wife

Chapter 248 VIP Treatment

In total confusion, Janet looked at the store clerk and asked calmly, “Is there anything else? A polite smile was on the attendant's face at this point. His attitude towards Janet had changed dramatically. Bowing to the two, she respectfully replied, “Miss, you can take as many pictures as you like. We also have a lot of classics here. If you want to take a look at them, we will be happy to show them to you.” Janet was surprised by these words. Emani, whose blood was boiling, was confused

Janet pursed her lips and glanced at Ethan. The store clerk's sudden change in attitude was not only surprising, but also confusing. She found it hard to believe, with a frown, she asked, “I thought it wasn't allowed. Why the sudden rule change?”

“Is this store clerk trying to get me in trouble? Could it be a new way to hook people into paying for goods here? she pondered.

The store clerk's smile widened. She replied politely. “Exceptions are made to all rules. As you are a distinguished guest, we can make an exception for you.”

This explanation added to Janet's confusion. She thought, did I? An illustrious guest? When did I become one? Weren't they treating me like a beggar now?

Several doubtful thoughts also filled Emani“s mind. She didn't believe the attendants words at all. In her mind, she concluded, “This is probably a joke or a misunderstanding. Janet is just an ordinary employee of the Larson Group. She cannot be a distinguished guest!

“What do you mean by that? Was there a misunderstanding or what? How did she become your distinguished guest? Are you sure what you're saying?” Emani blurted out when she could no longer keep her cool.

Completely ignoring Emani, the store clerk walked over to Janet and gestured reverently for her to go to the exclusive VIP reception area. “Welcome to the VIP reception area, Ms. beautiful Please sit down. After we have selected the best classics for you, you will be served with some refreshments.” The other employees immediately went about their duties, paying no attention to Emani, no matter what she said.

Some of them put on black gloves and began pulling out the jewelry store classics that were stored in the higher sections of the glass shelves. They carefully displayed them in front of Janet and Ethan. These pieces of jewelry were a sight to behold. They ranged from gold, silver, diamond, sapphires and a host of others. They were so beautiful that Janet was speechless. When Ethan looked at Janet, he saw her reach out to touch them, but she withdrew it in the next second. He could see that she was in awe of the jewels, but a little afraid to touch them. He found her behavior so adorable and funny.

"Are you sure you can see them clearly from a distance?” In an attempt to bring Janet out of her grief, Ethan picked up the jewelry box she was looking at and brought it closer to her.

Janet leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, “I just secretly checked the prices of these jewels. They are so expensive. It is not wise to touch them. What if I accidentally break them?” Many worries crossed Janet's mind. She didn't trust the employees here. She smelled something suspicious because of her strange behavior. As far as he was concerned, that could be a trap. She felt that they would force her to buy it if she broke something. Ethan lowered his head and laughed. He then leaned back on the couch and threw his head back, laughing. After having a good laugh, he looked at his wife with heat in his eyes. “Don’t worry. If you break something, I will pay for it.”

Janet felt butterflies in her stomach as she saw the heat in Ethan's eyes now. It made her feel relieved

in some sort of way.

“Our! He is so beautiful!’ Janet's cheeks turned red as she looked at him.

with her husband's assurance, she didn't hesitate any longer. She picked up a piece of jewelry and took a look at

it

It was at this point that a store clerk came in with a tray full of sliced fruit and delicate desserts. “Miss, have you seen someone you like here? If none of the pieces here please you, you can check out our exclusive pieces. They have not yet been offered for sale to the public. As they are custom made, they take a while to be delivered after ordering,” explained the store clerk as she poured tea to Janet and Ethan. For the umpteenth time in the last half hour, Janet was shocked. She pinched her thigh to make sure she wasn't dreaming or imagining things. “What's up? I'm dressed in cheap clothes, so I look nothing like a rich woman. Why does this store clerk think I can buy custom-made jewelry? Just as Janet was lost in thought, she noticed something. The saleswoman stared at the wedding ring on her finger. It was then that she realized why the staff treated her with such reverence. She touched her ring and circled it with her finger. “Ahem... You keep looking at my ring. Is something happening?”
