Please come downstairs." Ann quickly got out of bed and made her way downstairs. She could hear her mother's voice, and she was curious about what might be happening. "Mom, what's going on?" "Her dress has been ruined," Mrs Madison explained. "May I take a look at it?" Ann asked the pissed off customer. "Who is she?" the customer asked Ann's mother. "She's my daughter, and she's a fashion designer," Ann's mother replied. Ann looked at the clothes, and started back at the customer. " We are terribly sorry," Ann pleaded., "Mom, let's pay for the dress. Ann asked her mother, '' How much does it cost?" Ann asked. " 30,000 dollars," her mom replied, staring at her daughter. "30000 dollars?" Ann shouted In surprise. Ann takes a look at the clothes one more time. " Miss, how about this?I'll make the same dress for you, I'll use a better cloth and it'll be more breathable, what do you think? She asks, staring at the customer. "What?" The lady shouted. "make one for me? She scoffed. " This is a Gucci show edition! "Show edition !". she raised her voice and waved the clothes to Ann's face. The lady turned to her friends, " she wants to make one for me" they laughed. " If it's a genuine Gucci dress, it won't fade or shrink " Ann said smiling slightly. The lady gasped, turned to look at her friends and stared back at Ann "But your dress..the cloth is worth 18 dollars per meter, I'll give you 150 dollars,okay? "You! Look at them" the lady turned to the other customers in line watching the scene and waiting for their turn to collect their clothes. She turned again to Ann. " Is this how you run your laundry? She shouted at Ann. "What a clip joint! What a bully! I'll call the police, I'll call the police immediately! She said, as she brought out her phone, Ann moved close to her. " You can call the police,they can have your dress tested at a Gucci shop, if it's a fake, I'll sue you for blackmailing us." Ann said, smiling back at her.
