I'm Sorry My Love Novel

Chapter 200 How Could You Rip off a Kid? As the new year was approaching, the weather was getting

colder, but Leanna’s studio was seeing growth in its performance. Aside from custom-made orders,

they released many original accessories that were well-received by the consumers, in addition to the

flooding positive reviews. Leanna received a lot of sponsorships who wished to leverage ‘McK’ to

elevate their brand awareness, which would result in an increase of sales and production at the same

time. However, she declined every single offer due to her wish to consolidate the brand’s status in the

market since it was still the starting point of the studio. She decided to leave others to the flow. After

sketching some designs the whole day, Leanna stretched her body before opening the window to

breathe in some fresh air. She was exposed to a sea of baby’s breath the moment she opened the

window. Needless to say, the air became quite fresh in the area. Staring at the flowers, she zoned out

while thinking about the man.

That b*stard had been dropping in on her during the past two weeks after that day. However, he did not

cling onto her as he left after spending a short time here. Sometimes, he would have someone to send

over some snacks and drinks to the studio. However, she did not try it once but shared it amongst the

workers. During his visit a few days ago, he mentioned about going on a business trip to Warkin for a

week, which was good news to her because she could finally have some peace for herself. Right when

Leanna was going to continue her sketch, a commotion could be heard from the outside. As such, she

closed the window and strode out of the office. There was a middle-aged woman tugging at a girl in a

school uniform while raving, “How could you rip off a kid? She’s a high schooler and every penny she

has is her parents’ hard-earned money. Every businessman is money-minded! All of you are good-for-

nothing!” Standing before her was the studio’s employee—a fresh graduate who was lashed out with

pointing fingers for the first time. She froze on the spot without knowing what to do. The woman raised

her voice upon noticing the worker’s impotence. “Stop acting all pitiful and return my money. I demand

a refund!” “Y-You’ve worn the necklace and earrings for quite some time a-and they’re worn out. It’s not

refundable—” The employee stammered on her words. Suddenly, the woman shoved her aggressively,

causing her to stumble and knock her head onto a cupboard by the side.

Leanna came forward and helped her up with a frown. “Are you alright?” She shook her head as tears

trickled down her cheeks. Leanna checked on her only to see blood oozing out of her scraped

forehead. Leanna pursed her lips before looking at the woman, who did not seem apologetic at all. “I’m

the boss here. You can tell me if you have any problems. Why do you have to be physical?” “So what if

I pushed her?” provoked the woman as she pushed Leanna’s shoulder a few times. “You’re heartless

for earning easy money, so you deserve it! If you’re the boss here, fine. I’m going to return these

useless things and I want my money back! I demand an additional compensation for the emotional

damage done as well. If you’re not paying, I won’t have it end peacefully.” She tossed the things in her

hand to Leanna’s feet. Leanna took a glimpse of it before glancing at the girl who was hiding behind the

woman. She then turned to look at the worker. “Did she buy it from us?” The woman was very

displeased to hear that. “What do you mean by that? Do you think that I’m scamming right now?” The

employee replied in undertone, “There are so many customers in the store every day.

I don’t really recall, but I’ve never sold it to a student.” The price of the original accessories sold in the

store went up to a few hundred. Even though it was affordable, it was still beyond a student’s financial

capability. The point was that there was no school in the vicinity, so no students would purchase stuff

from the store. The woman spitted in rage. “Cut out the nonsense, will you? Where would she buy

from, then? Hey, look over here, everyone! I bought these from them but the seller isn’t admitting that

they belong to them!” The onlookers consisted of customers that were shopping in other stores and

now, her loud voice had drawn the attention of the passersby. The employee whispered, “I swear that

I’ve never seen a girl in a school uniform before. If there really was a customer like her, I would’ve

remembered.” “Who would be in their school uniform the whole day? Of course she came when she

was on a holiday.” “But what could I have done about it? I can’t simply ask someone to show their ID

cards to sell something that’s worth only a few hundred.” “I don’t care. You gotta return me the money

by today or I’ll tear down the store. Then, let’s see whose side the police will take. You’re bound to

close down your shop for ripping off a kid!” The onlookers began to gush about it. Most of them thought

that the woman was at fault whereas the minority deemed it wise to make a refund in order not to
