Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 1182

"Hello, Missus Crawford. It's been a while since we saw you last," one of them said with a warm smile, welcoming her inside. "We've got some new designs in, I saved them for you."

Agnes often visited this place, so it made sense for the staff to go out of their way for her. The reason wasn't that they didn't like people with less money. Even though Esther was a famous actress, being rich or coming from a family with a lot of money made a big difference.

Agnes noticed the staff wasn't paying much attention to Esther, which seemed to bother her. "I'm not here for myself today. I'm choosing some outfits for my future daughter-in-law," she said.

When the staff heard 'future daughter-in-law', the woman who had been ignoring Esther quickly changed her tune. "Oh, Miss Esther. This way, please. Let's start by taking your measurements."

"Okay, thanks." Esther didn't take it personally that she had been overlooked earlier.

Once her measurements were taken, the staff went off to find outfits that would be a good fit for her.

"We usually make clothes to order, but we also have some ready-made, in-season designs. This one seems like a perfect fit. If you're looking for something specific, we can make it just for you."

Esther was impressed by the outfits presented to her. They were so well-made that even high-end brands couldn't compare.

She was about to choose an off-white dress with beautiful flower stitching when another shopper grabbed it from behind her.

"I'll take this one. It's just my size. Debra, please pack it up for me."

The woman seemed taken aback. "What? Jail? Stop trying to scare me."

Then, looking around with a smirk, she insulted Esther's clothes. "You're dressed so plainly. These custom pieces are wasted on you."

Esther, unbothered, crossed her arms. "And you think you deserve them more?"

"Obviously. I'm a VIP here," the woman claimed proudly.
