Rumor Has It
“What had sounded so simple and straightforward the other day when Erin had run through what she'd need to learn, now seemed alarmingly compli cated. With Erin staying at the hospital with Stella, Kaye had found herself thrust into the job a day early and—as it turned out—woe fully unprepared. By midday, she had already managed to mortally offend a bossy middle-aged woman by not offering as much for her mannish tweed trousers as the woman felt they deserved.
'How much? That's not enough!' He...r bushy eyebrows had prac tically quivered with indignation. 'I paid ninety pounds for those!' In Savile Row, at a guess. The trousers were horrible. Nobody in their right mind would want to buy them. Kaye, watching as the woman stomped out of the shop, realized that Erin must be more skilled in the art of rejection, whereas she belonged more in the Simon Cowell camp. Maybe learning how to be a tad more diplo matic wouldn't go amiss.
God, but it was so hard not to offend people when they were trying on outfits that didn't suit them, or were blind to the faults of their own castoffs.MoreLess
