So It Was Xia Wan

The call connected, and the waitress provided a brief explanation of the situation. It remained unclear what transpired on the other end, but the waitress swiftly ended the call.

Confidence emanated from the waitress, possibly because of her backing from the boss. She peered disdainfully at Xia Wan and remarked, "We're both in the clothing business, but your family can't compete with ours. Now, resorting to this thievery. Just wait until our boss arrives!"

With her words delivered, the waitress found a seat and settled down.

The noon heat kept potential customers at bay.

Before long, a couple entered the shop.

A middle-aged man, with a noticeable paunch and a rather disheveled appearance, was clad in a suit that looked out of place. 

Beside him, a girl clung to his arm, displaying an intimate bond that signaled them as a boyfriend and girlfriend.
