hapter 0116 Chapter 0116 Its beautiful , she breathed , her eyes shining as she took me in .<\/p>\n
I glanced down at the dress shyly .<\/p>\n
You dont think its too much ? I asked her .<\/p>\n
Oh , goddess no ! she said , waving off my concern .<\/p>\n
Not for the Gala .<\/p>\n
Come on , you must show Irene .<\/p>\n
She opened the dressing room door , and I stepped out into the light .<\/p>\n
Irene stood by a rack of new dresses but when she heard me step out of the changing room she turned to look at me .<\/p>\n
Her eyes grew large , and her mouth fell open at the sight of me .<\/p>\n
Wow ! She breathed .<\/p>\n
You look amazing .<\/p>\n
There was a flash of something in her eyes that I couldnt quite understand but it was gone in a heartbeat .<\/p>\n
It almost looked like jealousy , I quickly brushed that thought out of my head ; Irene was drop- dead gorgeous ; there was no way she was jealous of me .<\/p>\n
We definitely have to get you that dress .<\/p>\n
Walter is going to lose his mind , Irene breathed .<\/p>\n
Now , Im going to find my own dress .<\/p>\n
Ill come find you when Im done .<\/p>\n
She took off a moment later .<\/p>\n
I turned to the standing mirror beside me , and I was taken aback by how beautiful the dress looked on me .<\/p>\n
I was honestly stunning , which was something I never thought I would say about myself .<\/p>\n
Nan would completely lose her mind if she saw me .<\/p>\n
I turned away and started to walk towards the dressing room when I walked straight into somebody .<\/p>\n
Ew , watch where you are going , I heard a familiar voice saying in a scowl .<\/p>\n
I looked up only to see Daisy glaring down at me with her arms folded across her chest .<\/p>\n
She lip curled in disgust as she took me in and her eyes narrowed .<\/p>\n
Ive only encountered Daisy once and it wasnt pleasant .<\/p>\n
It was when I went to dinner with Gavin to discuss my contract while working for him .<\/p>\n
Her gaze shifted to the dress I was wearing , and she took a step back to examine it , and then a smile spread across her lips .<\/p>\n
That dress is perfect .<\/p>\n
Ill take it , she said , motioning for Stacy .<\/p>\n
Stacy raised her brows and then looked at me before looking back at her .<\/p>\n
Sorry Miss Baldwin , but Im afraid this dress has already been taken , Stacy said , a bit awkwardly .<\/p>\n
Daisy lifted her lip up into a curl as she glared at Stacy .<\/p>\n
Im Daisy Baldin , the heiress of the Baldwin Estate .<\/p>\n
I get everything that I want and what I want is that dress , she snarled .<\/p>\n
I could literally ruin you .<\/p>\n
Stacy looked nervous as she bit her lower lip .<\/p>\n
She wasnt sure what to say , so I decided to intervene .<\/p>\n
instead .<\/p>\n
As you can see , Im wearing the dress , Miss Baldwin , I told her .<\/p>\n
Im going to get it .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0116 # She glared at me and the corner of her lips tipped upward into a condescending smirk .<\/p>\n
Like you could afford a dress like this , she said , folding her arms across her chest .<\/p>\n
Dont make me laugh .<\/p>\n
Ill pay you to take it off , she continued as she reached into her pocket to grab her checkbook .<\/p>\n
She grabbed a pen as well and glanced back at me .<\/p>\n
How much ? A thousand dollars ? When I didnt say anything , and just kept staring blankly at her , trying to figure out where she got this type of audacity , she scoffed .<\/p>\n
Fine , how about 5 thousand dollars ? Im not going to give you this dress , I told her through my teeth .<\/p>\n
Her eyes turned into slits .<\/p>\n
This dress deserves to be worn by someone with class .<\/p>\n
You certainly have none , she hissed .<\/p>\n
Her eyes pinched together as she scanned my face .<\/p>\n
Do I know you from somewhere ? Why do you look so familiar ? I opened my mouth to reply , but then realization flashed through her eyes .<\/p>\n
Oh right ; youre the whore that wont leave Gavin alone , she laughed , shaking her head .<\/p>\n
I hope you arent going to this Gala in hopes of winning him over .<\/p>\n
Newsflash , you are just a one night stand .<\/p>\n
You meant nothing to him .<\/p>\n
He hasnt had a serious relationship with my sister , but Im planning on changing that at the Gala .<\/p>\n
My heart sank from her words .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt have let that bother me , but I couldnt help it .<\/p>\n
Get out of that dress , now , Daisy demanded .<\/p>\n
Aunt Daisy ? Irene said , stepping beside me .<\/p>\n
Daisys eyes flickered to Irene and her face paled .<\/p>\n
I\u2026 Irene \u2026 ? Daisy stammered .noveldrama<\/p>\n
What are you doing here ? Irene narrowed her eyes .<\/p>\n
Im helping my friend Judy pick out a dress for the Gala .<\/p>\n
