Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As the day of Serenity’s engagement approached, Selena had her go shopping after work. The weather was getting colder and it was about time to buy some new clothes, so Serenity agreed.
After work, Selena came to pick her up. Serenity left her car in the parking lot and got into her sister’s car as they headed to the mall.
This was the first time the sisters had gone shopping after three years of separation. It was as if they had returned to many years ago. At that time, their relationship was so good that they could share a cone of ice cream.
Selena brought Serenity to a fashionable clothing store. As soon as the two of them entered the store, a salesperson greeted them. “Mrs. Grant, you’re here.”
Selena returned the greeting with a smile and turned to Serenity. “Serene, we have to prepare a change of clothes for the toast on the day of the engagement. See if there’s anything you like and pick a few more to keep in case something unexpected happens on the day.”
Serenity took out a light-colored dress from the rack and placed it on her body. She turned to look at Selena and asked for her opinion.
Selena shook her head and pointed at the red dress displayed at the storefront. The shop assistant smiled and said, “Mrs. Grant, you have a good eye. That dress is very suitable for an engagement party, and it will definitely suit this lady’s figure very well.”
Serenity had seen it the moment she came in, but she felt that it was a little too much. The hem of the dress was in the shape of a crow’s feet which seemed inconvenient to walk in.
A cold voice exploded in Serenity’s ears. “I want this dress.”
Serenity and Selena turned around to find the owner of the voice standing behind them: Jocelyn White. The newcomer took off her glasses and pointed at the red dress in the display window. “Pack it up for me.”
Standing next to Jocelyn was Jacob Smith, the man Serenity had met once. He was wearing a hoodie and camouflage army pants. His tanned face looked slightly surprised when he saw Serenity who smiled politely at him to show that she had greeted him.
The shop assistant looked at Selena, not quite sure how she should react. Selena was usually kind to everyone, but when she saw Jocelyn White, she couldn’t help but frown. “Miss White, we want this dress too so you can pick something else.”
Jocelyn held Jacob’s arm and coyly said, “Jacob, I like this dress.”
Jacob gently said, “Okay.” Then, he looked at Serenity and said, “Ms. Serenity, Jocelyn likes this dress so I hope you can part with it.”
Serenity did not want the dress initially, but now that Jocelyn was here and making such demands, she was determined to put up a fight as she turned to the shop assistant and said, “Pack it up for me.”
“Ms. Serenity!” Jacob’s eyes were as sharp as a knife.
But Serenity casually smiled back, looking more charming than ever, as she said, “Mr. Smith, haven’t you ever heard of ‘first come, first served’? Just because you like this woman and don’t want to disappoint her doesn’t mean that everyone has to follow your wishes.”
Jacob stared at her silently but Jocelyn nudged him on his arm, softly saying, “I really like that dress. If I wear it to the press conference for ‘Golden Beauty’, it would really match my role as Queenie Denvers very well.”
At the entrance of the shop stood Gabriel with one hand in his pocket. His face was as calm as usual as he deeply gazed at the two women arguing over a dress.
Wendy Jones was wearing a dress with a shawl around her shoulders as she stood beside him. The moment Gabriel entered the shop, the commotion immediately drew his attention. Wendy also looked over and immediately recognized Serenity. “That big-eyed girl looks like that employee of Zephyr Group..”
