Steal My Bag, Steal My Man

Dad had always praised my blind date, Cohen Campbell, to the skies, so this was a perfect chance for me to see what he was really capable of.

If a mere secretary dared to be this arrogant, failing to punish her now would only invite endless trouble later.

However, the voice on the other end of the call came through cold and indifferent. "I don't need you telling me how my secretary behaves. You're overstepping."

Before I could say anything else, he had already hung up.

Birds of a feather really did flock together. No wonder a mere secretary was this bold. She was clearly being enabled.

Cohen's secretary, Kate Barnes, who had been watching the whole thing, burst out laughing.

"What an actress! Take a look at yourself, you pathetic loser. You actually think you can cozy up to Mr. Campbell?"

I usually kept a low profile and dressed simply, but that didn't mean I would let anyone walk all over me.

"Judging people by appearances is the lowest form of thinking. You should watch your mouth, or you'll regret it."

She was just a petty little snob. I couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

I pulled a card from my bag and handed it to the sales associate, asking her to ring up the bag.

She looked between Kate and me, hesitating for a long time. She did not dare to process the payment.

Kate laughed even harder. "Bitch, there's no point in acting in front of me. This entire mall belongs to the Campbell family. Without my approval today, you won't even be able to buy a single zipper."

She snatched the card from my hand and flung it toward the entrance. "Quit pretending with that junk card. I'm not buying your act. Get out."

I had never been spoken to like that before. Kate had truly pushed me past my limit.

I grabbed her arm and dragged her straight to the store entrance before coldly ordering, "Pick up my card."

The sales associates inside froze in shock.

"Oh my god. She actually dared to talk to Ms. Barnes like that. She's Mr. Campbell's right hand. Crossing her is the same as crossing him."

Someone tried to intervene. "Miss, it's not worth offending Skyreach Corp over a bag. Let go of Ms. Barnes. You should apologize now. If you beg for forgiveness, she might still let this slide."

Hearing all the flattery, Kate shoved my arm away and sneered. "Listen, bitch. If you get on your knees and apologize to me right now, I might consider letting this slide. Otherwise, prepare to watch your entire family be ruined!"
