She had just entered when one of the staff greeted her “Good afternoon, Miss. Are you here to try on some gowns?”
“Yes!”
“May I know your name, Miss?”
“My name is Ellen Reiss.”
As soon as Ellen finished speaking, she was met with a surprised look from the attendant lady, who was thinking to herself, So, this young lady is the important guest who’s supposed to come in at three to five today!
In order to accommodate her, the store was closed to other customers during this time. Just who exactly was she?
As Ellen walked into the dress store, she expected it to be the same as any other clothing store, with customers coming in to pick and try on their clothes. However, she did not see a single customer in the entire store, which made her somewhat uncomfortable.
“Miss Reiss, what would you like to drink? Coffee, tea, or water?”
“Water, please, Ellen replied with a smile.
Shortly after, four tall and beautiful attendants surrounded her with respectful looks in their eyes, making her feel a little nervous. With them, they brought a glass of water along with a plate of fruits and dainty pastries.
“Miss Reiss, please enjoy some fruits and pastries! In the next two hours, we will serve you to the best of our abilities. You can tell us if you have anything you’re looking for, and we’ll try our best to fulfill all of your needs, an attendant with a sweet smile said to her.
Just then, an older woman who was dressed even more luxuriously heard that the important guest had arrived, and she practically jogged over from the second floor. She didn’t treat Ellen negligently just because she was dressed plainly, but she bowed and apologized as soon as she arrived, “My apologies, Miss Reiss. I’m the shopkeeper. I’m sorry I couldn’t greet you personally, but now, I’ll be at your service.”
Ellen was thoroughly dumbstruck. It was as if she were as distinguished as a princess. Why were these people being so respectful and polite to her?
“It’s all right, you’re being too courteous. I’m just here to try on some dresses.” Ellen waved her hands, indicating that she had no objections.
“Miss Reiss, do you wish to head upstairs now to pick out your dress?” the shopkeeper hurriedly asked.
“Okay, I’ll take a look,” Ellen said before getting up. After all, her purpose was not to sit around and enjoy the tea, but to pick an evening dress for the dinner party.
After heading up to the second floor, she couldn’t help but gasp in awe at the sight of the shiny beaded evening dresses that could only be seen in movies or on celebrities. Here, not only could she admire these dresses up close, but she could even touch them.
“How beautiful!” She couldn’t help but gasp.
“If you see anything you like, Miss Reiss, we will be here to help you put them on.”
“Thank you, I’ll have another look.” Ellen hadn’t made her choice yet as the dresses were all too beautiful, and she felt dizzy just from looking at them. It was as if any of them would easily make her a fashionista if she put them on.
“Do you have a favorite color, Miss Reiss?”
“I like blue,” she replied.
“We have blue dresses here as well. You can take a look here and choose the ones you like. Of course, we have other colors that are perfect for you too, the shopkeeper carefully suggested. She noticed that Ellen had an innocent and lovely appearance, so she figured a short evening dress would look good on her as well
Eller said to the shopkeeper, “Miss, can you help me pick a few dresses that suit me? I’ll try them out to see how they look
The shopkeeper had been waiting for these words, and she skillfully picked ten different dresses for her, after which Ellen began to try them on Each dress displayed a different effect on her, but there was no doubt that she had a good figure with a slim waist, pale skin, and an excellent bone structure which was well suited for wearing evening dresses.
She had tried several long gowns, and they felt very dignified and beautiful to her However, they were. troublesome, and she was not used to wearing them, so she gave short dresses a shot instead. A knee-length dress decorated with crimson roses stunned her it was as if her body was infused with a fiery glow, and it was gorgeous
However, the shopkeeper then suggested that she try other dresses. The next dress she tried putting on was a top heavy and sleeveless gown with a white laced skirt on the bottom. It was pure yet sultry and showcased her long, slender legs perfectly
Ellen tried on another black dress that was seductive and playful yet carried an air of mystery. While she looked at her stunning reflection in the mirror, the shopkeeper highly recommended this dress. Ellen liked it as well; it was simple and modest, and it wasn’t flashy either.
On top of that, the diamond belt around her waist was a huge bonus that brought out all the advantages of her body. The top of the dress showcased a playful V-neck, and the cinched waist as well as the bottom of the dress displayed her slender legs. In the end, Ellen opted for this dress.
Ellen thought she had chosen a dress that wasn’t very impressive, but she wasn’t aware that the designers of this dress were top-of-the-line, and that the diamond belt that matched her waist alone was already worth eight figures
Then, she began to do her hair. Her long and dark hair surprised the hairstylist, who hadn’t seen long hair that hadn’t been dyed with chemicals for a long time. Ellen’s hair was black and smooth, emitting a natural glow in the light.
“Miss Reiss, I’ll do your hair for you!”
“All right, thank you.” Ellen nodded.
“Have some water, Miss Reiss.” Another attendant thoughtfully served a glass of water for her.
After Ellen said her thanks, the hairstylist began to get to work. Although it was a simple braiding process, she meticulously tended to every single strand of hair to create an elegant hairstyle for Ellen. The hairstylist worked on styling her hair into a soft and sweet updo that would enhance her face, and gradually, her demeanor changed.
The next step was makeup. The makeup artist didn’t cover her assets but enhanced her beauty even more by focusing on her best features. Soon, the plain girl in the mirror disappeared and was replaced with the reflection of a gentle and sweet young lady. Her slightly curled hair cascaded down her shoulders. showcasing her wonderfully sculpted rosy cheeks, making her unbelievably beautiful Even the surrounding attendants couldn’t help but silently gasp to themselves, thinking that Ellen was stunning when she dressed up
Soon after, it was time to select her jewelry and high heels. She went for a pair of simple diamond studs which did not steal the limelight away from her dress but lined her hair and small earlobes with a glittering light. On her wrist was a small bracelet, and she wore a thin chain around her neck. Each piece of jewelry did not stand out from the others, but silently highlighted Ellen’s beauty.
Time went by without her realizing it, and after Ellen tried on her shoes, it was as if she had become a different person.
“Miss Reiss, we’ve prepared some afternoon tea for you. Please enjoy,” the shopkeeper said.
After serving the desserts, the attendant left, leaving Ellen the perfect opportunity to rest and drown in her thoughts on the sofa in front of the second-floor French window.
Just then, an attendant came over with a cup of coffee. Ellen asked curiously, “May I know if there are any other customers at this time?”
She only asked because, during the time she had spent in the store, she noticed that she was the only customer there.
The attendant let out a laugh. “Didn’t you know, Miss Reiss? You’re the only customer we’re attending to from three to five. We aren’t taking other customers during this time.”
Eller’s alluring eyes widened. “Huh?”
“Enjoy your drink, Miss Reiss” Upon saying that, the attendant left with a smile.
Ellen, on the other hand was unable to recover to her senses If she was the only customer in such a large store, did it mean that this time slot had been reserved for her? It must’ve cost a lot to reserve such a grand dress store for two hours! Ellen covered her face, inwardly thanking Jared for how kind he was to her.
At the same time, in a different dress store. Selena was picking out her evening dress as well. She, on the contrary, acted haughtily and tried on several of their best dresses before she left with a red and tight-fitting dress, having decided to go for a provocative look.
She had to be on her best behavior tonight and seize the opportunity to escape Charlie’s clutches for a better target. Besides, she was still hoping that she could see Jared tonight. It would be great if he’s there, she thought
At around five o’clock in the evening, a gray sports car pulled out from Presgrave Group and sped into the sunset, resembling an elegant leopard as it raced through the crowd of cars.
At the same time, in the dress store, Ellen sat in front of the window and flipped through a magazine with the setting sun in the distance. As the pedestrians walked by and glanced upstairs, they couldn’t help but stop in their tracks and wonder whom the young lady sitting up there was.
