Chapter 38 I Will Compliment You Every Day\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was no use trying to please everyone. Forget it\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla returned to the car and sat quietly for ten minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The intense emotions had already been extinguished by her aunt; there was nothing left to feel painful about.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During those ten minutes, past events played like a movie in her mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Ayla made a decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She built a high wall in her heart, refusing to show any vulnerability to anyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She would no longer hold expectations of anyone, because expectations only led to disappointment and pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla could not change others or prevent them from causing harm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, she could choose to protect herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was the only one she could rely on.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pressed the accelerator and took control of the steering wheel. Ayla started the car and did not head home. She drove straight to Central Mall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Saturday\u2019s business banquet awaited.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla did not have a formal gown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She belatedly realized that in the past three years, she had never attended a banquet with Troy, so she had no gowns at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Previously, she had not cared about dressing up because her life had no focus on herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, everything had changed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla walked into a gown store and chose a simple black dress with silver trim. She was about to ask the sales assistant for help, but the staff were gathered, chatting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe CEO of Winston Group and his wife just picked the most expensive haute couture gown here, nearly ten million. They didn\u2019t even blink before swiping the card. Afterward, they went next door for jewelry. The whole set probably costs tens of millions.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I were that rich just once!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tiurice Coms\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing rich is just one advantage. Did you see? Every time Mrs. Winston tried on a dress, Mr. Winston examined it carefully and gave his opinion!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly! It\u2019s these little details that annoy me. My boyfriend sits on the couch playing on his phone while I try on clothes. Every piece, he says, looks good. He shows his disinterest so blatantly that it\u2019s infuriating!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut are you sure you recognized them correctly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. My boyfriend works at Winston Group. The CEO personally led his wife to a high-level meeting. He was clearly giving the spotlight to his wife!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s way too indulgent!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAbsolutely. My boyfriend said other CEOs have mistresses, but Mr. Winston has remained faithful, with no scandals.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, so devoted. Not just emotionally, but physically devoted to his wife. He\u2019s a very responsible man.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, loyalty is rare in this fickle society. Even if Troy didn\u2019t have his current position, he would still be sought after!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrue! I really envy Mrs. Winston!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sales assistants were chatting happily when they finally noticed Ayla.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They quickly approached to help. \u201cHello, Miss. Would you like to try this gown?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla lowered the dress. \u201cNo, thank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She moved to another store and picked a simple pure white gown.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The front was modest, but the back was very low-cut, mid-length. Most people could not pull off this dress.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had a striking appearance and a cool aura. The white dress did not make her look plain; it complemented her presence, giving her a subtle sharpness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant helped tie half of Ayla\u2019s long black hair, exposing her bare back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her fair skin contrasted sharply with her dark hair. Under the lights, Ayla seemed to glow.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant was stunned. \u201cSo elegant, so beautiful, and so\u2026 so\u2026 \u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla raised an eyebrow. \u201cSo what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo cool.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCool?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant nodded vigorously. \u201cYou\u2019re giving out a very reliable feeling.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She even wanted to shout \u201chusband!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, that would scare off customers, making them think she was in a same-sex relationship. But if the person was this stunning beauty, she wouldn\u2019t mind shifting her preference\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla had no idea about the assistant\u2019s wandering thoughts. She looked at the mirror, trying to match the assistant\u2019s description.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Halle had once said she was cool, but Ayla had never realized it herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cWhy don\u2019t I feel it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant replied, \u201cProbably because you never cared about dressing up, and few people complimented you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy friends used to say it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen it\u2019s been a long time since you heard it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla reflected. Since marrying Troy, he and his friends had only criticized her. She had ignored all other voices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Marriage had blinded her and lowered her self-assessment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing Ayla deep in thought, the assistant smoothly suggested, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we exchange contacts? I will compliment you every day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ayla looked at her, surprised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The assistant blushed under her gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Typically outgoing, she now awkwardly explained, \u201cMy friends and I have a group where we compliment each other daily to boost confidence. Of course, if you don\u2019t want to, you can refuse\u2026\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
