Mona saw that the two of them were about to leave Star. She strade over and stood in front of them.

She said gently, "Hello, I'm Mona, the designer of Star. I apologize for overhearing your conversation just now about the online branches. We've already contacted them to take down those listings. Those so-called branches are not known to our internal team at Star. Since you're already here at the doorstep of Star, why not come in and take a look? The quality is

Mona made it clear that the online shops were selling counterfe products, which was why issues such as poor fit and quality arose after just one or two wears. In contrasi, the garments sold in her store were guaranteed in terms of quality, which justified their slightly higher prices.

"Yes, we've only recently discovered that there are many stores online falsely using Star's name. We've already taken steps to address this. Why don't you come in and take a look with us?" Ava smiled. It turned out that pirated shops had already greatly affected Star's reputation.

"Then, why don't we go in and take a look?" One of the girls suggested.

Her friend said, "Let's go in and see me. I'll also take a look at the difference between the down jacket I bought online and the shop."

They understood what Mona and Ava had said. They meant that the young lady who had just spoken had bought a fake.

Mona and Ava nodded at the two of them and invited them in.

salesperson smiled and called them in. When the salesperson saw that Ava and As soon as the customers entered the shop, Mona had personally come to the shop, the service was even better. They all hoped to show their best side. They spoke sweetly, making the two girls smile.

Mona and Ava did not disturb the salesperson's work. They sat at a leisure place and watched the shop.

This time, it was indeed different from the previous few times. The shop was filled with people, and not a single shop assistant stood at the side to rest. This time, there was a shop assistant beside each of them. Mona took a sip of water from the salesperson and asked, "How long has the situation in the shop been going on?"

"Mrs. Carter, it's been almost a week. When the winter clothes were just released, the sales were especially good. I remember that there was a queue at the door that day. Compared to then, there are much fewer customers now," the salesperson said honestly. She remembered that on the day of the new wint "

installation, the bonus she received was half her monthly salary. However, this good situation did not last long, and the number of customers gradually decreased. "Alright, I understand. Work hard, and the shop's business will get better and better," Mona said. Mona and Ava sat for a while until the two girls paid. Then, Mona invited them to sit down.

One of the girls was furious, exclaiming, "I'm so angry! The feel of the down jacket was completely off, forcing me to buy another one. When I get back, I'm going to expose that store. I'm definitely not the only one they've scammed. We can't let them continue to rip off customers." She had spent quite a bit of money at that store.

When Mona heard this, she felt very warm in her heart. "Thank you for your support of Star. We're also dealing with the is not suitable or the workmanship is not exquisite, as long as the tags piracy online. If you feel that the size of the

The girls said, "Thank you! Then we won't stand on ceremony."

When Mona saw them eating the cupcake, she also ate a few mouthfuls with Ava. Later on, Mona chatted with them about what kind of clothes they liked, and whether they liked to wear more pants or skirts in spring. The few of them chatted happily. When they left, Mona even added a young lady who said she wanted to expose that shop on WhatsApp.

After sending them away, Mona looked at the new contact name Lily, a beauty and fashion blogger noted for her outfit and makeup sharing. All her posts were about fashion and beauty tips.

"Mona, those two young ladies just now were still students, right I didn't expect them to be so rich. They bought more than one set of clothes in one go," Ava said. It seemed that they were also young ladies from some big family. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so generous. "Not necessarily. Didn't I add Lily's WhatsApp just now? She's a blogger. She should be able to earn money herself. She's better than us at university." As she spoke, Mona thought of her unprofessional self in university.

She did not know what she was thinking during that period of time and actually put aside her design and did not do it. It was as if she was possessed and followed behind Teddy every day. Her university time was really wasted.

"They are better than us, but we're not too shabby either. Let's go check out the branch store. The main store isn't very busy, so the branch will definitely have even fewer customers," Ava said as she linked arms with Mona and headed toward the door.

"I hope there would at least be one customer when we arrive," Mona prayed.

"Of course not. After all, Artemis's reputation is there. There will be two," Ava said half-jokingly.

As they spoke, the two of them had already gotten into the car and went to the branch. When they reached the entrance, Ava looked at Mona with an aggrieved expression. 'It's just some counterfeits online, but look at the impact! Not a single customer today. We're not just talking about covering the staff's salaries; the rent isn't cheap either. It's a huge loss.

Ava asked, "Mona, do you think we're going to lose money this winter?"

Mona looked at her shop and shook her head. "It's not that bad. There's still a long way to go in winter. The second batch of winter equipment will come. We might not make much money, but we definitely won't lose money.".

Finally, seeing that the store was empty except for a salesperson who was still standing attentively, they lost the nerve to even enter. After circling around, they took Haley to the fourth floor of the mall and each bought a warm milkshake, perfect for countering the chilly air outside.

"Mona, let's go eat barbecue food at noon. It's so rare to come out," Ava said. Regardless of whether they earned money or not, she could not delay her meal.

When Haley heard that they would be eating barbecue food later, she subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She missed the taste.

"Let's go. I remember that there's barbecue food upstairs that's very delicious. Why don't we go to this place?" Mona suggested.

At the same time, she took out her phone and sent Maxwell a message on WhatsApp to report her whereabouts, afraid that Maxwell would be worried.

At first, Mona was not used to telling Maxwell everything, but later on, she got used to it. Sometimes, she would even send Maxwell a picture of whatever she ate to tempt him.
