Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 997

"Miss, this mister right here is a good friend of mine. I'll pay for all their expenses in the mall today." Angeline's voice might have sounded like a breeze, but it was also compressed in ice. The shopkeeper sized Angeline up skeptically and thought, 'What sort of status does this woman have to speak in such an arrogant and haughty tone?'

Before the shopkeeper could say anything to jeer at her, Angeline pulled out a supreme membership card from her handbag and handed it to the shopkeeper. " Here, swipe it."

At the sight of the card, the shopkeeper's face changed abruptly.

Although she was just an employee at the company's grassroots level, her boss would often emphasize supreme membership cards like that in the meeting.

Her boss had always said, "Customers who enter our store with this card are the mall's VIP. No matter who they are, you must treat them with even greater respect than your boss. You must provide them with first-class service and never, never make her feel even the slightest bit of discomfort."

At this moment, the shopkeeper nearly fell to her knees in front of Angeline. She had already broken out in a cold sweat. She had a hunch that she was going t

o lose her job.

Fortunately, in order to survive, snobs like that were usually crafty and two-faced. Knowing that she had offended someone she should not have, she immediately tried to redeem herself.

The shopkeeper walked over to Jay and apologized in a trembling voice. "I'm really sorry, Sir. I was too ignorant earlier and spoke too harshly. Would you be so kind as to forgive me, Sir?" Jay did not respond to her.

The shopkeeper fell to her knees with a thud. "I was wrong, Sir. Please, please forgive me!"

Jay still did not respond to her.

Now, the shopkeeper was puzzled. Even if he refused to forgive her, he should at least say something. What was he trying to tell her by not saying a word like that?

She risked a glance at Jay, only to find that his gaze was fixed intently on Angeline. His gaze was filled with great amazement and shock.

Words could not describe the mood that Jay was feeling at the moment.

When he heard Angelina's voice, one that seemed to be bathed in a spring breeze, he frowned a little at first. He detested the fact that she was standing up for him because he thought that she was the she- devil Angeline, the same girl who had a crush on him and even tried to make him her sugar baby.

Though when his gaze fell on her face, he felt as if he had been struck by thunder-burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. Like a sculpture, he was completely petrified.

It would be an understatement to say that this woman's face was beautiful.

Her face looked ethereal and pure, like a fairy who had been left behind in the mortal world.

Her beauty sent his heart palpitating with excitement.

After catching a startling glance at her face, he was surprised to find that this face actually looked familiar. After searching his brain for quite some time, he realized that this woman was the same woman in the portrait he had painted on a whim the other day.

After taking blows after blows, Jay looked slightly dazed.

He could not comprehend it. He actually met the woman he drew out of nothing in real life?

What confused him even more was that this woman whose voice sounded so similar to Angelina... was not Angelina.

That was because as he stared into her blank eyes and at her white cane, he deduced that she was not Angelina. Angelina was not blind.

Angelina carried herself like a tough and domineering bandit with an aura of a powerhouse emanating from her entire being.

This lady here was wearing a smile on her face, looking tender and pitiable.

It was also because of her tender and helplessness that he felt his heart aching a little.

The pain was very faint, yet it was very real.

Marilyn tugged at his hand and called out, "This lady i s apologizing to you, darling. Hurry up and ask her to get up. There's no need to apologize."

Jay gathered his thoughts and stared at the shopkeeper who was down at his feet. A dark and sinister gleam flashed in his eyes. "Get lost!"

Marilyn's gaze fell on the supreme membership card and reminded Jay. "Darling, since this lady is willing to pay for us, should we-" "No." Jay's voice carried a hint of anger.

He felt ashamed to see Marilyn going out for petty advantages like that.

For some reason, his vanity was at its strongest in front of Angeline. He wanted to show her the best side of him.
