Unrepairable Love
Chapter 402
Alexander glanced up at the Percy Mansion, gripping his phone tighter. He stared for a bit before driving off, still ignoring the designerโs message.
The next morning, Elizabeth came downstairs and heard Rose say, โI saw Alexander when I got back last night.โ Elizabeth, munching on her breakfast, asked, โWhere?โ
โBy the front door,โ Rose replied. Rose had just clocked out when Alexander left. Rose thought it was odd that Alexander was hanging around, so she checked the cameras and saw his car parked there for almost half an hour. Elizabeth just made a noise and kept eating.
โThereโs a rumor heโs getting engaged to Esme,โ Rose said, sipping her coffee and eyeing Elizabeth. Elizabeth didnโt flinch, still focused on her sandwich and phone. โCongrats to them.โ
Whether Alexander and Esme got engaged was irrelevant; what mattered was Felixโs message: [Serenity Leaf was in town.] Elizabeth needed to set up a meeting with the owner of Serenity Leaf ASAP. Seeing Elizabeth genuinely unconcerned about Alexander, Rose felt relieved.
โElizabeth, weโve got to get your dress ready for the cruise party,โ Rose suddenly remembered. โWhat color are you thinking? You pick the jewelry.โ
โWhatever,โ Elizabeth said, still glued to her phone.
Rose frowned. โYou canโt just wing it for something like this! These parties are all about showing off.โ
โFine, black,โ Elizabeth said, picking a color at random.
Rose sighed. โEveryoneโs so monochrome lately! Letโs add some color. Elizabeth, Iโve got your dress covered. No need to search elsewhere.โ As a designer, Rose couldnโt take it anymore.
Elizabeth looked up and smiled. โWhy didnโt you say so earlier? I was waiting for something ready-made.โ
โAlright, after work tonight, head to the DSK store. Iโll have the designer take your measurements,โ Rose said, nodding. โIโm off to work.โ
Elizabeth nodded. โOkay, see you tonight.โ
Later that night, Elizabeth headed straight to DSK after work. This store was run by Daniela Baker, a thirty-year-old designer with tons of creativity, currently a big name in the industry. Daniola and Rose met at a show abroad. Despite their different design styles, they hit it off.
Chapter 402
The store was in the heart of Lisbon, a busy area with lots of sports cars. But when the purple Pagani pulled up, it turned heads. The car was just too cool! And when Elizabeth stepped out, people were even more surprised. Elizabeth rocked sunglasses, a black crop top, and black floor-length pants, with her hair casually pinned back. She looked effortlessly cool.
She pushed open the door of the DSK store, and the attendant nodded at her. โHello,โ
The storeโs decor was super luxurious, with not many clothes on display, but each piece was eye-catching, unique, and sexy! Elizabeth had done some homework on Danielaโs style and really liked it.
โRose set up an appointment with the designer; Iโm here for measurements,โ Elizabeth told the attendant.
โHello, Ms. Percy. Daniela is still inside with a client. You can wait for a bit,โ the attendant said, pointing inside.
โCan I check out these dresses too?โ Elizabeth asked, pointing to the dresses on the wall.
The attendant smiled. โOf course, Ms. Percy. If you like any, you can borrow them.โ
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and started checking out the evening dresses on display. She stopped in front of a white short dress. It wasnโt as flashy or sexy as the others, but it was clean and elegant.
โThis one,โ Elizabeth said, pointing to the white dress.
