Chapter 311
Gizem calmly questioned, “Where did such crazy people come from?”
“Who are you calling crazy?” Joanna scowled.
“You guys, of course. You randomly accused me of wearing your dress. If it were yours, why would it be
hanging here?”
“I asked the shop assistant to reserve it for me!” Joanna pushed the staff member forward and
snapped, “Tell her!”
The shop assistant started stammering as she did not know what to say.
She knew she could not afford to offend either party.
Gizem remarked, “Speak the truth will do. What are you afraid of?”
“That’s right. You’d better speak the truth.” Joanna glared at the shop assistant as if she was going to
devour the latter.
The shop assistant was stuck in a dilemma.
“Well, to be honest…” She hesitated before continuing, “When Ms. Hurst left, she did not ask me to
reserve the dress.”
Joanna glowered at the staff. “What did you just say? How dare you lie? Get me the manager!”
Feeling aggrieved, the shop assistant replied, “You definitely did not ask me to reserve it. Also, just so
you’re aware, we have surveillance cameras here.”
“I bet you are only siding with her because you’ve received her money!” Flustered and exasperated,
Joanna fumed, “Get me the manager! I’ll have you fired!”
The shop assistant was speechless.
This woman definitely did not ask me to reserve it!
When Levi came back and saw the confrontation, he frowned.
“What happened?” he asked in a calm tone.
“These two are accusing me of wearing their dress.” Gizem explained frigidly. “They are also
demanding to speak to the manager.”
Levi’s aquamarine eyes narrowed. “Then, let’s just get the manager.”
As soon as Joanna saw Levi, her eyes shone in amazement.
Levi had the enchanting facial features of a supermodel. His body was nothing but perfect as it looked
like the type that would look lean in clothes yet muscular when bare.

The man was undoubtedly the type to look majestic when he was stern.
“Go get the manager.” Levi gazed at the shop assistant calmly.
The shop assistant went to the counter to make a phone call.
“Are you her boyfriend?” Joanna asked curiously.
Levi smirked. “That’s none of your business.”
Joanna was stunned speechless.
After a moment, a woman came over in a hurry.
When she saw Levi, her expression changed drastically. “Mr. Levi!”
Levi stated blandly, “I don’t want to waste my breath, so I’ll get to the point. This dress was picked out
by my woman first. Yet, this woman says its hers and is making a scene here.
Gizem knitted her brows. Who’s his woman again?
The manager turned toward the shop assistant. “What’s going on?”
“Ms. Cromwell, Ms. Hurst insists that she had asked me to reserve this dress for her, but I am very sure
she never said such a thing. We have surveillance cameras at the reception counter, so you will know
I’m not lying after checking the footage,” the shop assistant explained nervously.
“You are indeed lying!” Joanna was practically seething.
“Since there are surveillance cameras, let’s just check the footage,” Levi remarked nonchalantly. “If
there is proof that they are lying, get them to compensate for their mistake as an apology.”
The manager quickly nodded. “Of course.”
Joanna started to get nervous.
She, in fact, did not ask the shop assistant to reserve the dress.
Judging by the way the staff treated Levi, she knew that the man must be someone influential.
The shop assistant immediately went to retrieve the surveillance footage as this was the perfect
opportunity to clear her name.
Joanna frostily uttered, “I’ll have you know I’m Samuel Macari’s girlfriend!”
She was sure that Samuel’s name would be enough to scare them into submission.
The manager frowned. She’s Samuel Macari’s girlfriend?
Levi asked in a distant voice, “Samuel has a girlfriend?”
“Of course! He simply doesn’t want to make our relationship public!” Joanna huffed.
“Ha!” Levi scoffed. “What a coincidence. It just so happens that I know him, so why don’t we get him to
drop by for a moment?”
As he spoke, he fished out his phone.
Joanna bit her lip as her nerves were starting to show.
It was at that moment that the shop assistant exclaimed, “I found the footage!” “Play it,” Levi
responded.
The shop assistant played the footage.
Soon, voices could be heard coming from the computer.
“Would you like me to ring this dress up for you, Ms. Hurst?” It was the shop assistant’s voice.
“This dress is ridiculously expensive! I’ll think about it for now.” came Joanna’s grumbling.
“I see,” the shop assistant replied in annoyance.
“What do you mean by that? I’ll have vou know that I can afford it easily. I merely don’t know if Samuel
would like me in it.” Joanna scowled.
As soon as she finished, she turned and left.
Levi eyed Joanna coolly. “If you aren’t hard of hearing, I’m sure you’ve heard what you said.” The
woman looked incredibly ill at ease.
Levi’s cold gaze fixated on her. “Now, apologize to her.”
She bit her lip tightly. Apologize, my foot! If I apologize now, I won’t be able to recover from this!
Seeing the turn of events, Carrie dragged her daughter away, wanting to leave.
Levi turned toward the manager impassively. “Make sure that woman can never shop here again. If you
ever serve her in the future, I’ll ensure your CEO fires all of you.”
The manager and shop assistant dared not to say anything to that.
They knew that since Levi was a prominent person, he was sure to know their CEO personally.
Levi then grinned at Gizem. “You look amazing in that color.”
“Mm.” Gizem did not refute.
She pulled out a black card from her purse and gave it to the shop assistant.
The latter was shocked. I can’t believe she’s also a person who owns a black card.
Levi commented with displeasure, “Why don’t you just spend my money? Wouldn’t that be better?”
“Why would I spend your money when I have my own?” Gizem looked as placid as ever. He chuckled
at that.
After processing the transaction, the shop assistant handed the black card back to Gizem.

As Gizem put on her jacket, she said, “Let’s go.”
“Sure.” Levi nodded in response.
After leaving the mall together, they headed straight to the hotel where the banquet was held.
Once they reached the venue, Gizem left her jacket and purse at the front desk.
She then put her arm around Levi’s before walking in.
“Oh, right. Who are you here for?” she inquired.
“Caleb Lewis.” Levi explained, “He’s Chanaea’s largest supplier of medicinal herbs. We’d like some
support from the locals for our factory here.”
Gizem nodded lightly.
Levi spotted Caleb in a single glance among the crowd.
With Gizem by his side, he went over to Caleb and greeted, “Mr. Lewis, long time no see.”
Caleb turned when he heard Levi and looked at them, seemingly aloof yet handsome at the same time.
“Mr. Levi, it’s been a while.”
As he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Gizem before looking elsewhere, his expression unchanging
the entire time.
Levi smiled gently. “This is Gizem Zabinski. She’s one of my business partners.”
“So she’s your company’s chief pharmacist?” Caleb asked indifferently. Levi nodded.
Looking unimpressed, Caleb thought that the woman seemed ordinary.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lewis.” Gizem stretched out a hand.
Caleb furrowed his brows a little before shaking hands with her.
Gizem’s hand felt slender and soft.
Slightly stunned, Caleb loosened his grip. He sized her up and greeted, “Nice to meet you too.”
Gizem was not very fond of Caleb’s gaze on her, so she retracted her hand.
Levi asked smilingly, “Mr. Lewis, what do you think about the suggestion I made before?”
“Are you really that generous as to let me make a profit?” Caleb questioned meaningfully.
“Of course. I’m a very credible businessman.” With a half-smile, Levi continued, “But we’ll be using Ms.
Gizem’s patent, so the patent fee is a must.”
Caleb narrowed his eyes slightly. “That’s for sure.”
He raised his glass to take a sip of wine, his ring incredibly striking.
Gizem was slightly surprised. Oh, he’s married.
