Chapter 104 Your High Heels Are Fake!
The video went viral.
Mocking comments flooded in!
How could he swallow such humiliation?
Through gritted teeth, Klay said, "Alright then! You dare to come to my territory on your own accord! You must be worried about my retaliation, so you came here specifically to apologize. Let me tell you, it won't work! Today, I'll make sure you perform a show in front of everyone and become famous too!"
Ryder waved his hand dismissively. "Not interested. Houston already has someone as talented as you!"
"You..." Klay's anger hindered his speech. "Alright then! You're quite articulate. I hope you'll be just as arrogant later!"
The secretary quickly reminded him, "Hold your horses. Today is Mrs. Johnson's inauguration. If she arrives and witnesses this, it might leave a bad impression!"
Klay was about to respond, but a cleaning lady nearby accidentally bumped into a bucket of filthy water.
The bucket tipped over.
Dirty water splashed onto Klay and the female secretary.
"Ah! Are you blind?" The female secretary exclaimed in shock.
Her high heels and stockings got drenched.
Klay's pants, too, became wet and grimy!
Witnessing this, the cleaning lady's expression changed, and she hurriedly approached, bowing in apology. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Let me wipe it clean for you!"
She took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket and crouched down to wipe Klay's pants.
"Bitch!"
Klay kicked her ruthlessly.
She fell to the ground, hitting her arm on the marble floor.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!" Despite the pain, the cleaning lady kept apologizing.
Who didn't know that Klay was someone one should never mess with in the Smith Group?
Even if there was the slightest speck of dust left on his workstation after cleaning, one would be scolded.
"You old geezer, do you know how much my high heels cost?" The female secretary walked up and slapped her twice. "The latest model from Hermès, made of crocodile leather, with a market price of $100,000 a pair! They can't be touched by water! You'll have to compensate!"
"$100,000?" The cleaning lady felt like the world was spinning.
With a monthly salary of just over $3,000, she didn't know how many years it would take for her to pay that back!
"What? Can't afford to compensate?"
The secretary raised her hand again, ready to slap her.
Suddenly, a hand appeared, grabbing the secretary's wrist.
"Let's talk this out. What's the meaning of resorting to violence?" Ryder was the one who intervened!
The female secretary pulled her hand back and sneered. "You poor man! What do you want?"
Ryder remained calm, not allowing his composure to waver.
The housekeeper sitting on the ground was helped up.
"Are you alright?"
The housekeeper shook her head.
At this moment, Klay said, "What does it have to do with me if I hit someone from my own company?"
The female secretary scoffed and chimed in. "This old woman ruined my heels with her carelessness. Can you compensate for it? Can you even afford it?"
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper gritted her teeth and said, "I'm sorry, this matter has nothing to do with this gentleman. I... I'll take care of it."
Someone in the crowd sneered and said, "You'll take care of it? A single mother who earns only three thousand dollars a month. Your daughter is sick and hospitalized. Where would you get the money to compensate?"
"I..." The housekeeper was becoming anxious. Tears were welling up in her eyes.
Even if she pooled together her entire family's savings, they wouldn't amount to ten thousand dollars, let alone a hundred thousand.
Recently, her daughter fell ill and was hospitalized. Without being granted leave by her company, she had no choice but to run between work and the hospital.
That's why she hadn't been able to rest properly, causing her mind to become distracted and resulting in her accidentally knocking over the bucket of dirty water.
The female secretary continued arrogantly. "Huh! Looking at your poor appearance, it's clear you can't produce any money. Anyway, I don't care. If you can't come up with a hundred thousand dollars, then sell your blood or your kidney! Otherwise, I'll take you to court!"
A few other janitors who were working nearby couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to speak up.
"Please show some mercy. It wasn't intentional. Can you reduce the compensation amount?"
"Yeah, she has worked tirelessly for this company for over ten years. Please spare her this time."
The female secretary's eyes turned cold as she put her hands on her hips and angrily retorted. "Shut up, all of you! You're a bunch of poor people with no money or power. If anyone dares to plead again, I'll have HR fire you on the spot!"
The janitors' expressions changed, and they had no choice but to close their mouths.
Seeing this, the secretary snorted in satisfaction.
Although she was just a secretary, her position and authority within the company were quite strong due to her connection with Klay!
"Who dares to mess with me? Who dares to question what I say?" she thought.
However, Sarah suddenly spoke up. "Who told you that these high-heeled shoes are worth a hundred thousand dollars?"
The female secretary turned her head. "I did. What's the matter?"
Sarah carefully examined the high-heeled shoes on her feet and said, "I have been following the latest Hermes alligator leather high-heeled shoes since they debuted in the market. They are priced at only around forty thousand dollars, and this model has excellent quality. It's waterproof and absolutely wouldn't get damaged from simply getting wet!"
The female secretary's face slightly changed.
This pair of high-heeled shoes was a Valentine's Day gift from Klay this year, and the price was indeed less than forty thousand dollars.
She knew that these shoes were waterproof.
The reason she said those things to that woman was just to bully her and extort some money!
She never expected to be exposed!
Of course, she didn't know that Sarah enjoyed studying luxury goods. She can talk about them endlessly!
The female secretary explained stubbornly, "Even if what you say is true, so what? She'll have to pay for them. If she can't afford $100,000, then she should give me $40,000!"
"$40,000?" Sarah said coldly. "These fake shoes on your feet aren't even worth $500. It's shameful for the Smith Group to have an employee like you!"
"How can you say that my heels are fake?"
"It's simple. There's a difference between 'alligator leather' and 'alligator pattern'. Your shoes are made of calf leather, specially processed to create an alligator pattern. It's not genuine alligator leather. If you don't believe me, take a look at this!" Sarah took out her phone and showed it to the female secretary.
It was an Amazon store that specialized in selling counterfeit high-end luxury goods for women, and it happened to have the same pair of high heels the secretary was wearing.
Price: $498!
The female secretary's body shook, and she took two steps back, almost falling to the ground.
"Are you okay?" Klay reached out to support her.
The female secretary slapped him in the face. "You scumbag! How dare you deceive me? And I actually thought you were so good to me!"
Klay's face already had a few blood marks from his wife scratching him the night before, and now this slap added a few more!
"Bitch, you dare to hit me? Shameless!" Klay angrily kicked the female secretary to the ground.
She crashed into another dirty bucket not far away!
This time, she was drenched in dirty water all over!
