Her Second Marriage, Being Mr. Moore's New Wife
Chapter 22 Sorry Ain’t Enough

From his eyes, the staff sensed warning. If she couldn't do her job right, she might be fired. This man in front of her was capable of messing with other's head.

She then quickly took out the best dress they got and followed Charlotte into the fitting room.

"This is the most cherished one here, so let me help you change."

"No, I can do it myself."

Of course Charlotte didn't like people watching her when she changed.

The staff complained, "What's wrong with you? This dress is so expansive, if you break it, can you pay for that?"

“I ..."

"What? Look at your own clothes, cheap stuff. How dare you shop here if isn't for that guy?" After Charlotte changed several times, the staff knew that she was easy to pick on, so she took her chance. Charlotte didn't speak. She was embarrassed because the staff was right about her.

"Fine, do it yourself in case you tell on me later." She throw Charlotte the dress, and slammed the door.

Holding the dress, Charlotte was in a daze.

Later, she put it on.

As the staff just said, the dress was the most cherished, completely different from those "old-people" ones.

She walked out holding the hemline of the dress, then towards Kennedy's direction. But no one was there. Charlotte felt empty in her heart.

Where did he go?

He ditched her because she looked bad in those dresses? She walked back to the dressing room quickly in the same position, however, she heard a familiar voice near one of the mirrors. "Honey, how do I look in this?"

"Is that a real question? You look beautiful in everything, babe."

She stopped her steps and walked to the voice uncontrollably. The large cloth hanger blocked her, so she could have a better view of the two that were talking.

It was Aldrich and the other woman.

They nestled together. But the woman was so pregnant that she clearly couldn't fit in the cloth in her hand.

"What a shame I can't wear this right now."

"Just buy it as long as you like it. You can wear it after you give birth."

"Honey, you're so good to me."

Charlotte clutched her hands. Had Aldrich ever said such sweet things to her? She had no idea she would bump into them.

The other woman was looking in her direction. Charlotte hid out of fear.

When she turned around, she accidentally hit the staff. When she fell down to the ground, she grabbed Charlotte's dress, but not on purpose, then Charlotte fell with her. They heard the most depressing sound in their life -the dress was torn apart.

The noise caught all the clients' attention, including Aldrich and that woman.

The staff panicked when she found out the dress had been ruined. She got up and pointed at Charlotte.

"Do you know how much this dress cost? You did this on purpose."

Charlotte was still in a shock. She tried to dodge the couple's eyes for she didn't want them to know she was here as well. She never thought someone was behind her and they bumped into each other. After hearing the staff's accusation, she looked down and noticed that a decoration, which was supposed to cover her shoulder, fell off. Seeing people gathering around, she quickly covered her shoulder and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean it!"

The staff sneered, "Sorry? This is the top product here, sent from Italy yesterday. It cost over 300 thousand. Sorry ain't enough. You have a way to repair it?"

Charlotte bit her lips and said in a low voice, "I will fix it, I promise."

"How? Can you tell me?" The staff shouted as the crowd gathered together.

Being pointed by the others, Charlotte got so embarrassed that she felt a little dizzy.

"Isn't this Charlotte?" The woman with Aldrich laughed at her, "I thought you only wear clothes cheap stall goods. What are you doing here? Did you tear that dress on purpose?" Hearing her out, the staff screamed with her eyes wide open, "What the hell? You do this intentionally? This dress is at least 300 thousand, and you will pay for it."

The other woman giggled, "How can she pay for that? She only makes three-thousand salary. Now she lost her job, she can't even buy the cheap shit."

Charlotte bit her lips even harder.

Did Aldrich tell this woman all about her?

"Charlotte, if you can't pay for the dress, beg Aldrich, maybe he'll give you some money for old time's sake."

Charlotte's hands shook. Meanwhile she looked at Aldrich's direction.

When their eyes met, Aldrich seemed to be surprised and felt kinda awkward. They had been married for some time, though their love faded, still they once saw one another as family. Aldrich sympathized Charlotte when she was pointed at.

But...

"Aldrich, are you gonna help her?"

He bent his head to see Milana's charming face. He coughed while taking her into his arms, "Babe, I will help no women other than you. And for her, it's not worth it to help someone who tried to make a scene.' Those words were like needles piercing her ears.

Charlotte bit her lips so hard that blood dripped down.

"Oh, honey, I know she's pain in the ass, but she looks so poor now. If she doesn't pay for that dress, will she be detained here?"

Milana's words were like a reminder. The staff took out her phone and declared, "I'm calling the police right now."

Charlotte help her head up. The police?

"What a vain bitch. When she can't have something, she breaks it. Of course you have to call the police."

Some of the onlookers added.

"Right. Look at her messy hair, how can you let her get in this place?"

"Women nowadays really don't have any self-knowledge. Did she try on these clothes to make herself feel rich? Now she ruined it, and has no money to pay for it. Freaking hilarious. The police do need to educate this woman to keep her from doing the same shit again."

Charlotte was embarrassed by the mocking laughter and judging eyes surrounding her. She had been living at the bottom for a long time, so when she stepped into a fancy place, her confidence left her. But Kennedy and Nathan suddenly disappeared.

She didn't know the reason. Maybe they ditched her because she was hopeless.

This negative feeling was killing her. Her eyes got red gradually.

The onlookers' cruel words kept her from looking ahead. Her tiny body shook, and that feeling almost made her faint.

Charlotte felt dizzy every time she was nervous or desperate.

Her visions got fuzzy, she could barely see other people's faces.

Darkness nearly shrouded her.

When her body collapsed to one side, someone's big hand got her in time.
