GIRL IN RED
CHAPTERS 17. MEET THE EMIR AT THE BOUTIQUE
The owner of M&J Boutique is Michele Januar who is a special fashion designer of dresses. The dresses at the boutique were made from quality materials.
“You can talk to me if you have any problems! We don't need to bother the President in January for something as trivial as this. I can finish, because she is busy and has no time to meet you Miss Arimbi!” said the store manager.
Seeing Arimbi just silent, the store manager smiled, “Nona Arimbi! Dresses on the first floor are all good and every dress you choose will be very suitable to your quality. While the dress on the second floor is very expensive and I'm afraid you won't fit in wearing expensive and classy items. Please choose a dress on the floor one only, all good.”
The dresses on display on the second floor are the best dresses in the boutique and only those of noble quality are suitable to wear the dress because it can display the elegance and beauty of the dress. Villagers like Arimbi are not at all suited to wearing dresses on the second floor that are specifically designed to display luxury and elegance.
“Mr Emir!” suddenly someone was shocked and greeted the man who had just entered the boutique. Arimbi looked over and was right. Her husband was there, sitting in an expressionless wheelchair while the bodyguards escorted her into the boutique.
Arimbi blinked his eyes and wondered, was her husband stalking her? Why did he meet her again here? At the sight of the Emir, the shop manager's facial expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of the book and he immediately stood up and smiled as bright as the sun during the day.
“Master Emir! Have you come to see the President in January? He told us to wait for him at the office.”
Emir and Michele have been friends for a long time, so the store manager assumes the Emir is there to find Michele. But the Emir ignored the store manager and signaled to his bodyguards not to push his wheelchair again.
“What's up?” he asked Arimbi.
Just by looking at Arimbi, he already knew that his wife was holding back anger. Before the store manager could answer, he asked again, “What are you doing here?”
“Just ignore her Mr. Emir, She is the Second Miss of the Rafaldi family and she is here just to look around, just have fun.”. Since Arimbi's return home to his biological parents, his name has become famous but for the wrong reasons.
The rich people in Metro city do not consider Arimbi even though she is the biological daughter of the Raffaldi family just because Arimbi grew up in the village and her education is not high.
“So you mean, anyone can come here to look around and have fun?” ask Emir.
His cynical remarks were directed at the Emir at the store manager who did not understand him.
“Mr Emir, if you think the woman is ruining the scene, I will ask her to leave this place immediately,”.
Arimbi rounded his eyes at a loss for words hearing the manager's remark. ‘What the fuck? Isn't he my husband, when others insult me and look at me low shouldn't he be defending and protecting me? Eh, he instead thinks I'm ruining the scene,’ he thought as he squinted his eyes at the Emir.
Sandra rushed over to Arimbi and whispered, “Nona Arimbi, syo quickly left before Mr. Emir got angry.” while talking he reached out his hand and wanted to pull Arimbi out of that boutique because it would be very embarrassing to be kicked out by the employees. That man is not someone to be offended.
Arimbi threw his hand and glared at Emir and turned around to leave. But instead of walking out of the boutique, Arimbi went straight up to the second floor.
‘Huh! It's good to throw me out! I also have the same right as everyone else to shop at this boutique! What if I was a village? Is there something wrong with that?’ gerutu in the heart. The more those people wanted him to leave from there, the greater his wish was not to leave! He had to teach those people a lesson that was insulting and looked at him one eye.
In his past life, people could humiliate and treat him like that. But he's been reborn and he won't let anyone treat him like that. Those people should know how to respect others regardless of their social status.
“Nona Arimbi!” the store manager was startled and immediately ran over trying to stop him with an angry expression on his face. “Nona Arimbi, our boutique will not serve you for now. Tlong go now!”
Meanwhile, Arimbi was already on the second floor and he stopped at the top of the stairs and turned to look at them from above. He smiled, in a soft and sweet voice he said, “Because this boutique is open for business then whoever walks through that door is your customer! The customer is king but with your attitude like that is not at all suitable for running a business. Should M&J Boutique go out of business for restructuring?”
The manager of the shop instantly fell silent to Arimbi's sharp and cold words. Arimbi turned around gracefully and walked in calm steps. He did not panic at all even though everyone looked down on him. Furthermore he did not even feel ashamed of himself. Arimbi's attitude made the store manager look at him again.
As the store manager turned his head and looked at the Emir, he looked at the Emir's face and recalled how grumpy the man's temper was. He was afraid that the Emir would go berserk and have a bad effect on the boutique, so he said to the Emir, “Mr Emir, I will go upstairs and immediately ask him to leave. Sorry for this incident, Mr.”
The Emir pursed his lips, with a deep gaze he did not say a word. No one knows what's on his mind. Just as the store manager was about to head to the second floor, the Emir suddenly said, “What he said just now makes sense! As a retail employee, you should know that whoever walks through that door is your king! Regardless of his status, all of you should treat him politely. Quality M&J Boutique staff do need repair!”
After the Emir said that he immediately pushed his wheelchair towards the elevator. The Emir and Michele had known for a long time, after he became disabled due to the accident Michele immediately installed an elevator in his shop to make it easier for the Emir to go upstairs.
At the same time, the Emir's remarks caused all of the Boutique M&J staff to tense up and a fearful expression appeared on their faces. No one dared to speak anymore, everyone fell silent.
