Hayley’s Destined Mate
Chapter 302: Too Arrogant
Tanner’s POV:
Hayley appeared in a dazzling white gown that immediately captured everyone’s attention. Benjamin looked at her with evident admiration. “I already knew about your talent from the original design, but seeing the modified gown now, I can say the person who altered it has even more skill. It truly looks amazing. And I was genuinely taken aback! I regard my own design skills as some of the best in the country. Yet, seeing this gown in front of me, I had to acknowledge that I might have been overly confident. Hayley’s bold approach, incorporating traditional craftsmanship, significantly enhanced the gown’s aesthetic appeal. Together with Hayley’s excellent figure, the gown was showcased perfectly! If my initial design was good, Hayley’s alterations transformed it into an artistic masterpiece! Incredible! She, an omega, has outdone me, a high-ranking beta, in design talent.
“Hayley, I now understand your choice. The material isn’t only lightweight but also exceptionally beautiful, adding an air of elegance,” I remarked with true appreciation. I moved closer and inspected the dress carefully, noting that every stitch was sewn by hand perfectly, which confirmed that Hayley’s skills were indeed comparable to mine. Driven by curiosity, I inquired, “Hayley, how did you manage to create such a masterpiece in just one day?”
Hayley’s POV:
Seeing everyone seemed satisfied, I said, “I just tweaked your design a bit, and it turned out just how I wanted. What do you think?” Benjamin nodded appreciatively. “I didn’t realize you had such a knack for design. But this pattern looks familiar.”
That caught my attention. Every piece I create includes a unique symbol, which neither Benjamin nor Tanner had seen before. After a moment, I casually mentioned, “I thought it looked nice, so I added it.” Benjamin didn’t probe any further. “The dress looks great on you, let’s stick with it.”
Tanner chimed in, “Ben, since Hayley’s the one who modified the dress, we should waive the design fee.” “We displayed your dress in my store as a showpiece?” I had no issues with that; engagement dresses are typically worn just once. “Sure, that works for me.” Seeing my agreement, Tanner was very pleased.
Beside me, Benjamin suddenly said, “Go change out of your dress, I’ll take you somewhere.” I replied with an “okay,” and then went to the dressing room. After leaving the design studio, I got into the car, and it started driving off. I asked, “Where are we going?” Benjamin looked mysterious. “You’ll know soon.” Seeing his mysterious look, I guessed, “Are you preparing a surprise for me?” Benjamin nodded without hesitation. “Yes.” I chuckled, “I was just joking with you, and you actually took it seriously.” However, Benjamin looked at me seriously and said, ‘I’m not joking with you! I really have a surprise prepared for you.”
Now it was my turn to be dumbfounded. Is there really a surprise? I began to feel a flutter of excitement, wondering what surprise Benjamin had in store for me.
