102 Let’s Be Nice (2/2)
”Yes, this is —”
”I'm the guy you locked up in one of your changing cubicles and I'd like to be let out.” Nie Chang didn't even think of letting her waste his time.
”Ah?” The woman looked up at her co-worker and pointed to the back of the shop causing her to frown.
”What is it?”
The first one held the phone away and lowered her voice. ”It's the guy from the changing cubicle. He called and said we should let him out.”
”Hah? They've finished already?”
”Who knows? Eh! That's not the point! He sounded angry. What do we do now?”
The second one straightened up. ”Deny everything!” She snatched the telephone from her and cleared her throat. ”I'm sorry. Who is there?”
”Nie Chang. The guy you pushed into the changing cubicle before locking the door. I'd like you to open it now.”
”I'm sorry. I don't have any idea what you're talking about. Maybe you called the wrong number? There are only two customers in our shop right now and they're trying on their clothes at the moment.”
Nie Chang frowned. ”You have two choices now: One, you come over, drag away whatever it is you pushed in front of the door and I'll forget about this. Two, you continue to stand there at your counter and pretend nothing happened and I'll call the police over. Let's see whether or not they think it could be a total coincidence something heavy happened to be in front of the door after we've somehow entered. So, which option do you choose?”
The saleswoman gulped. ”Uh, give us one minute.” She hung up and looked at the other one.
”What?”
”We better let them out now. And never accept again if Zhi Bao Yu calls asking for a favor.”
”That bad?”
”Worse. He threatened he'd call the police on us if we don't come over now.” She threw the phone back onto the counter and hurried to the back.
With the two of them pushing the box away from the door and the additional motivation they had gotten from Nie Chang's threat, they didn't even need half a minute. They both hurriedly stepped to the side and lowered their heads, not daring to look into his eyes.
Nie Chang carried Su Yan out and gave those two a cursory glance. Well, he might not appreciate being locked in a changing cubicle but it had still been nice to spend some time with Su Yan.
”We'll take the sweater with the cat. I've already transferred the money.”
Leaving that sentence behind, he left the boutique with his boyfriend in his arms. The two saleswomen could only watch them dumbly and wonder if this had really happened.
