Chapter 259: Come With Me Chapter 259: Come With Me Madam Young visibly stiffened.
The managers watching from the sidelines exchanged nces.
Some whispered among themselves, shaking their heads.
“This is uneptable,” one muttered.
“The general manager is going to hear about this,” another said.
“Poor workce environment… he’s always saying how that shouldn’t be tolerated…” The whispers stung.
Madam Young felt her face grow hot with shame, especially in front of her own staff.
But she still forced out, “I can rece you all in an instant.” Nnenna smiled wider.
“And we can find a better ce in an instant.” With that, the three girls turned on their heels and walked out.
They didn’t run.
They didn’t hurry.
They walked proudly, heads high, as if leaving behind something that wasn’t even worth their time.
And as they did, they heard it The employees weren’t just whispering anymore.
They were talking.
“She really turned it around on them.” “What aeback.” “That’s what they deserve.” Even some managers were nodding in approval.
Nnenna, Kosi, and Lilian stepped out of that store as victors, leaving behind a workce they had no regrets about abandoning.
And as for Chinwa She stood frozen, fists clenched, as realization sank in.
The exact same trick Nnenna had used to expose the Duke’s daughter’s pretender friend… Had just been used against her.
Her humiliation wasplete.
As Kosi, Lilian, and Nnenna stepped out of the store, a wave of satisfaction washed over them.
The morning sun kissed their faces, as if celebrating their victory.
Justice had been served, and they had walked away with their dignity intact.
Lilian suddenly turned to Nnenna, her eyes narrowing with yful usation.
“Wait a minute.
You mean to tell me you had that recording this whole time?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.
Without warning, she lightly pped Nnenna’s hand.
“And you just let us worry all night, thinking we were doomed?
That was so cruel of you!” Nnenna grinned mischievously.
“I had to time it perfectly.
Besides, if I told you, would you have slept any better?” She shrugged.
“This way, we got the best result.
Chinwa was exposed in front of everyone, and we got to see her face when she realized she’d been yed at her own game.” Lilian crossed her arms, pretending to pout, but herughter betrayed her.
“Still, you could have given us a hint!
I nearly had a heart attack back there!” Kosi, who had been quiet, let out a deep breath and shook her head in amazement.
“I can’t believe it actually worked.
We really turned the tables on her.” Her expression softened as she looked at Nnenna.
“Thank you.
Not just for standing up for yourself, but for standing up for us too.
You could’ve just saved yourself, but instead, you made sure we all got justice.” Nnenna smiled, a mix of relief and gratitude in her eyes.
“There was no way I was going to let you guys take the fall for something you didn’t do.
We fought together, so we won together.” Lilian sighed dramatically.
“You know, I really needed this job.
The pay was good, and I don’t know how long it’ll take to find something else as stable as this.” Then she smirked.
“But you know what?
I’d rather be jobless than stay another second in that ce under a manager who jumps to conclusions without even investigating properly.” Kosi nodded in agreement.
“Exactly.
And after what happened with the Duke’s daughter yesterday, this was bound to happen.
That store was toxic, and we all knew it.
If we stayed, we’d just be waiting for the next disaster.” She nced at Nnenna, a bit more reserved but clearly relieved.
“I guess we can’t predict whates next, but at least we left with our pride.
And honestly?
That feels better than anything.” Nnenna grinned.
“Well, whatever happens next, I’m d I met you two.
Let’s stick together, okay?” Lilian threw an arm around both of them.
“Of course!
We’re officially the Unbreakable Trio now!” Lilian was still talking when a sudden voice called out from behind.
“Hey!
Wait!” The three girls instinctively turned around, their curiosity piqued.
A young woman approached them briskly, her uniform crisp and noticeably different from the ones worn by the staff on the lower floors.
Her presence alone was enough to spark interest.
She wasn’t just any employee, she was from the upper floor.
The upper floor.
A ce so exclusive that only the wealthiest and most powerful individuals were allowed in.
It was known as the V.V.V.I.P.
level, a space designed for nobles, royals, and foreign dignitaries.
Even the king himself would be granted entrance should he choose to shop there.
Rumors surrounded this elite section.
Some said it was owned by a mysterious yet incredibly influential figure, one no one had ever seen.
Others spected that it wasn’t just a shopping floor, but a hiddenwork where high society conducted secret deals.
Regardless of the whispers, one fact remained, working on that floor was a dream for many employees.
It was the ultimate goal for them.
The prestige, the connections, the massive tips from wealthy customers, it was the kind of position that could change a person’s life overnight.
But very few ever made it there.
Nnenna, Kosi, and Lilian exchanged nces, unsure of why someone from that floor would bother stopping them.
Lilian whispered under her breath, “What does someone from the heavens want with us mere mortals?” Nnenna bit back augh, but she could feel the tension in the air.
Even Kosi, who had been reserved for most of their ordeal, stood straighter, clearly aware that this moment could be important.
The girl from the upper floor finally reached them, her breath slightly ragged as if she had been in a hurry.
“You—you have toe with me,” she blurted out.
The three girls exchanged confused nces.
“What happened?” Nnenna asked, her tone neither hostile nor weing.
After all, this girl wasn’t from the chaotic middle floor store that had just tossed them out.
