It would be hours before Sage and Leah were done with their hair makeover. Hunter might as well have
taken a nap in the car while they were there.
Leah looked at herself in the mirror as she was finished way earlier than Sage. She looked at her dark
blonde hairstyle and murmured, “I wonder if Hunter likes my new look.”
Sage replied, “It’s more important than you like it, not him.”
It was said that beauty was when one could appreciate themselves. Who cares about what other
people think?
After going through everything in her life, Sage finally understood that people who loved you would love
you for who you are. On the contrary, you could never force someone to love you no matter what if they
were not interested in you.
Sage would always put her happiness as the top priority. “I love it,” Leah replied as she laughed and
nodded in satisfaction. “That’ll do,” said Sage. Sage looked at her brand new sister and chuckled,
“You’ll look like a real career woman once you change.” Sage needed more time to finish doing her
hair, and she took out a black credit card and handed it to Leah.
“You can get anything you want. We can afford it,” added Sage. Leah rarely shopped. She barely put
herself through college through her scholarships and part-time jobs, and she had to wear her outfits in
rotation. There was hardly any money left after tuition and food. The ground floor of the shopping mall
was comprised of beauty counters and jewelry boutiques. Leah was not too keen on beauty products.
She was, however, obsessed with jewelry. She then walked into a jewelry store.
It was crowded on a weekend. Nevertheless, the sales advisors passionately assisted their customers
in trying on pieces of jewelry.
It was a boutique brand from overseas, and the design was average. The designers were accused of
plagiarism previously, but it was still popular among the locals. Their prices were extravagant, and not
many could afford them.
Among the customers were wealthy women, influencers, or seller agents. Leah had a simple non-
branded white tee and jeans on, and the sales advisors treated her as if she was not even there.
They had no intention to serve Leah.
Leah looked around by herself. She pointed at a bracelet and asked politely, “May I have a look at this
bracelet?”
The sales advisor impatiently took it out for her and went off to tend to the other customers. Leah took
the bracelet out of the box, examined it for a while, and wanted to try it on her wrist.
Just as she was about to fasten the clasp, the sales advisor shouted, “No try-ons in here! We don’t
allow it!”
She was obnoxiously loud and rude, and all of the customers turned to look in their direction. Leah
froze. Shocked, she asked, “Why can’t I try it on?” “What do you mean why? There’s no reason why!”
The sales advisor had a terrible attitude. She forced the bracelet off Leah’s wrist, leaving a red mark
Leah painfully furrowed her brows, but the sales advisor’s face darkened. She wiped the bracelet
vigorously and complained, “You dirtied it… This is our limited edition item. It’s really expensive. Why
did you try it on if you can’t afford it?” The customers looked at Leah and sneered at her like she was
lowly. Leah’s face turned bright red.
Just as Leah was about to leave, someone came to her rescue. “Can’t try on if we can’t afford it? Who
set these rules?” A cold voice transmitted through the air. As people looked up, they saw a woman with
colored hair dressed in couture. Such elegance and poise. Sage took the black card from Leah’s hands
and threw it at the sales advisor. She growled sternly and glared, “Show me that item. The one you
said we couldn’t afford.”
