From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Chapter 710

Over the past few months, Shelia had immersed herself in the world of fashion, thanks to her time with the Blair family. She now had a decent grasp of fabrics styles, and trends.

When the staff member handed the chosen fabric to the manager, the latter asked, “What style did Mr. Blair choose?”

The staff member replied, “She hasn’t chosen a style yet, but we’re about to show her some options.”

Debra glanced at the satin and said to the manager, “Didn’t she say she liked the dress I’m wearing? Just show her my style.”

The manager hesitated. “But the gown you’re wearing is a fishtail design. If we use the stiff silk satin she chose, it might not work well.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Debra’s gown was made from soft chiffon, which flowed beautifully and accentuated the fishtail shape. Shelia’s satin, on the other hand, was stiff and not suited for such a delicate design.

“Well, that’s what she requested,” Debra said. “Maybe we think it won’t look good, but who knows? She might think otherwise. Besides, the customer’s always right, isn’t that so?”

The manager immediately caught on to Debra’s meaning and whispered instructions to the staff. They brought over a selection of dresses, showcasing several popular styles.

Right in the center was the fishtail gown, identical to the one Debra wore. Shelia’s eyes lit up as soon as she spotted it.

“Is this the same as the one she’s wearing?”

“Yes, though this design is complex, and the price reflects that.”

Knowing she could have the same dress as Debra but hers would be made from more expensive materials, Shelia was more than pleased. She turned to Melody for approval.

“Grandma, do you like this one?”

“If you’ve set your mind on it, that’s fine. But remember you represent the Nichols family. We can’t afford to look bad.”

The staff member chimed in, “Ms. Blair, do you have any other requests? If not, I’ll have the designer draw up the plans for you to review.”

“The sample dress will have diamonds embedded, right?”

“Yes, but…”

“Then I want diamonds on mine as well. Money is not an issue.”

She handed over the design to the staff member, who was thrilled to land such a big order.

She eagerly took note of Shelia’s demands and told the manager.

Debra listened quietly, but Erica wasn’t so cool. “Shelia has overstepped the mark. She’s trying to one–up us. I’m calling Caleb to make sure our dresses are better.”

As Erica reached for her phone, Debra quickly stopped her with a wink.

While Erica was confused, Debra turned to the manager. “Go ahead and finish the gown. I’m satisfied with

1. it. It’s time for me to leave.”

The manager escorted them out.

Shelia cast a triumphant glance in Debra’s direction, as if declaring her victory.

Debra ignored her provocation, knowing Shelia wouldn’t be smiling by the time the engagement party rolled around.
