With that, the man pulled out his phone and made a call.
"Hey, Liu, look up Velvet Ember Patisserie for me. I want to buy them out immediately!"
The manager didn't look worried in the slightest. Instead, he offered a faint smile. "Be my guest."
A moment later, the assistant called back.
"Mr. Blake, Velvet Ember Patisserie is actually backed by the Sinclair Group. I'm afraid an acquisition is completely out of the question..."
"What! The Sinclair Group?" Mr. Blake gasped in shock.
His own business had been doing reasonably well over the past few years, but compared to a powerhouse like the Sinclair Group, he was nothing but small fry.
He wouldn't dare cross the Sinclair Group!
"Honey, how did it go? Did you buy it?" Talia asked eagerly. "If you did, I want this manager fired right now. The nerve of this guy..."
"Shut up! Not another word!" her husband barked.
This was a massive slap in the face.
"Do you still plan on purchasing our store?" the manager asked politely.
Mr. Blake flushed with embarrassment. "Hmph! What's the big deal anyway? It's just some stupid cake. We wouldn't want it anyway. Complete garbage!"
Bianca and Elena couldn't help but laugh. It was a classic case of sour grapes.
"Right, we don't want it! Who cares," Talia chimed in, trying to save face.
She then glared at Elena and Bianca. "Our business isn't finished yet. Now, tell me how you're going to pay for my dress. This is a LUMEN Studio original. If I don't see compensation today, you're not getting out of here!"
Elena took another bite of her dessert and dabbed the corners of her mouth. Before she could answer, the manager stepped forward and handed her a sleek card.
"Valued guest, this is the Velvet Ember Patisserie Supreme VIP card. The holder of this card will enjoy premium VIP service at all of our locations. Furthermore, everything in the store will be entirely complimentary."
Bianca was stunned. "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely. Please accept it."
