Whatever was going on back there...Julius actually seemed to have been doing a pretty good job, at least if the influx of customers was anything to go by. She was regretting telling him what she had though--this was awkward enough without the yelling from the backroom. But that's life.
Giving a little cough, Paulette pushes the door as shut as it will go, in hopes to further muffle the sound before responding to Richard.
"Ah--everything is fine, Julius is just...a little...busy right now..."
Trailing off, she shakes her head, trying to steel herself slightly.
"Er--well. What are you looking for...sir? There's a lot of stuff."
Motioning to the chaos that was the store, she gives a helpless shrug. Something told her that she wouldn't be so lucky as to just find price tags on most of this stuff...but there was so much of it, she could probably just guess at a price for whatever he found and call it good. Samuel...well, Mr. Winters, probably wouldn't mind too much.
Right?
Pausing to give a forced smile to Richard, Paulette shifts her focus to the second person, the smile, forced or not, withering away fairly quickly, despite the way that the fellow was looking at her. Privately, she had never seen the-the point in this style that some kids seemed to be styling nowadays. She'd never made the observation out loud, of course--when put into words, he had had the feeling that it would make her sound like a crotchety old man...but to her, this kind of thing was a failing of a younger generation, whether she would say it or not.
Of course, given her current looks, she could probably pass for this 'younger generation'...but that's a thought she was trying to keep off her mind.
Clearing her throat--and frowning slightly at the rather petite sound, she nods to him.
"...Potential?"
Shrugging, she tilts her head slightly, her words cold.
"Are you looking for something in particular...sir?"
