New Problems Come Again

Tchiiiitttt...

"Kyaaa..." I screamed hysterically when I thought my life would be lost.

Sensing danger before his eyes, Jacob immediately pulled over and stopped his car before an accident occurred or the police caught us.

Because Jacob braked suddenly, our heads almost hit the body of the car. We were silent for a moment after realizing for a few seconds then we almost died if Jacob didn't stop the car immediately.

"Agh... Oh my God, thank God I'm safe!" I really panicked when Jacob stopped suddenly. Because I was too scared, I saw glimpses of my life journey from childhood to now like someone who was dying.

Jacob tried to catch his breath, after feeling better, he immediately looked at me with those sharp eyes as if he wanted to kill me because I accidentally caused us to almost have an accident.

"You come down right now!" He said coldly. He looked very angry.

"W-what? B-but I don't know where this is! How could you suddenly tell me to get off in the middle of the road like this!"

"I'm so sick of you! Get off!" He shouted at me. It surprised me, it seemed like he was really angry.

Because I was afraid, I was forced to get out of the car. Right after I stepped out, Jacob immediately drove the car without saying anything.

"Ah... how is this? He's really gone! Why is he angry anyway? I should be the one angry with him! You crazy person!"

I keep thinking about yesterday's incident, now I'm too scared every time I run into him. Am I wrong? But he always calls me a crazy and stupid woman, no matter what you think about it, he's still going too far. She should be a little gentler with me, why can't she be like her grandmother who is very kind and always respects other people?

"Agh... annoying! Damn you impudent Jacob...!" I shouted.

"Excuse me! Can you help me?" Asked a woman standing next to me. I was in the middle of arranging my things while daydreaming until I didn't realize there was a buyer beside me.

"Oh... of course! Please just tell me, how can I help you?" I asked while turning my body to face this woman.

I smelled a very fragrant perfume, really fragrant and luxurious. The smell of perfume like this is definitely an expensive perfume that would cost two months' salary working in this place.

"The fragrance..." I muttered, looking at the tall and slender beautiful woman who seemed busy choosing hand cream.

This woman is really beautiful, her hair is blonde with beautiful blue eyes, her body is like a famous supermodel and apparently, I've seen her face somewhere, but I'm not really sure.

"I want hand cream with this scent, is it still in stock?" He said while showing an empty bottle of hand cream.

"I'll take a look, please wait a moment!" I said as I walked towards the warehouse to check the stock of hand cream with the same brand and aroma. I'm not sure, it looks like this brand is out of stock. But I didn't want to disappoint the woman by telling her directly that it was out of stock before I checked first.

"As I thought, there's nothing else like this! Alright, let me just offer him this brand!" I came back carrying a different brand, but with the same aroma.

"Sorry, this brand is currently out of stock. But there are other brands with the same aroma and much cheaper prices!"

"A cheaper price? Do you think I want to find a cheaper one?" asked the woman. I was surprised because he suddenly answered with emotion. It got me thinking, did I say something wrong? Don't people like something cheaper?

"Sorry, that's not what I meant! I just wanted to offer another alternative, in case you might be interested!"

"You offer a cheaper price as if I can't afford the expensive one! Don't you know who I am?" He said louder. I was really confused, why was this woman so offended just because I offered her something cheaper?

"Sorry, but I don't know who you are! Besides, in this shop all customers are treated the same, so-"

"How dare you say that! Who is your manager? Quickly call him! I want to talk!" He said commandingly. The commotion that occurred attracted the attention of supermarket visitors, some even recorded it with their cellphones.

The manager who knew about this commotion immediately came in a hurry, approached this arrogant woman and also me who didn't know what my mistake was.

"Sorry, Miss! How can I help you?" The Manager asked with his back bent, just like a cowardly cat being splashed with water.

"You are the manager of this shop?"

"Yes that's right!"

"Listen, I wanted to buy this brand of hand cream, but your employee impolitely offered me a different brand on the grounds that the price was much cheaper. Isn't he very impolite, doesn't he know who I am?"

"Tch, annoying! Why should such a small matter be made a big deal?" I thought. Everyone is making us a spectacle and this woman is still babbling incoherently.

"You're Miss Olivia Laurent, aren't you? S-I'm sorry Miss, I'm going to reprimand my employee! She's only worked for five days in this shop, so she still has a lot to learn!" Said the Manager who looked panicked.

Olivia Laurent? I think I've heard that very familiar name? I tried to observe his face and sure enough, I just remembered that his face often appeared on the covers of famous magazines and famous products.

"She's that supermodel! I remember now!" I thought.

"Fire him!" Say it loud and clear.

"W-what? Fired? Why are you asking me to be fired?"

"Incompetent employees who cannot serve customers well will only make the company lose money. So I ask you, fire him!"
