"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 snew designs in, | 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 soutfits 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 sready-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 couldn't believe how oblivious the woman was.
Then the woman seemed to recognize her. "Aren't you the famous Esther Sanders? With all the rumors, I'm surprised you're out

"Why are you bringing that up? Did you start that rumor? You know spreading lies can land you in jail, right?"
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.
