Chapter 55 “That’s impossible, right?” Tina asked, dumfounded. Samuel hated her guts, so why would he take her to the banquet? Victor couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to her. Instead, he handed her a banquet invitation. “Miss Lynd, this is the invitation to the banquet. Please keep it safe at all times. I’ll guard the door.”
It was obvious he didn’t want to be around Tina at all.
Tina, however, didn’t mind the bodyguard’s behavior. She glanced at the invitation in her hands, noticing that the date was set for the next weekend. She had no idea why Samuel wanted her to be at the banquet. However, she was confident that he definitely had no intentions of letting her stay with him throughout the entire night. She was most likely attending the banquet as an invisible extra
The designers of the studio were very experienced. After an in-depth analysis of Tina’s body type, they quickly found a gown for her to wear. When Tina exited the fitting room, she had an awkward look on her face.
At the moment, Tina was wearing a black fitting fishtail gown studded with gems and rhinestones. The light’s refraction caused the gown to sparkle like a beautiful night sky filled with shining stars.
The gown’s design was strapless, revealing Tina’s shoulders and collarbone while accentuating the amazing curves of her body. She looked extraordinarily breathtaking in it, exuding a charm both innocent and sensual. The designers of the studio went all bright-eyed the moment they took in Tina’s visage. They were quick to shower her with praises. “Miss Lynd, this gown suits you perfectly!” “Yes! This gown happens to be our one and only design. We were still wondering who on earth can truly bring out this gown’s beauty. To think that you’d appear on our doorstep today…”
“You look incredibly gorgeous! Even if you get pitted against models, you wouldn’t lose to them!”
Tina was embarrassed to hear the gushing praises from the designers. She replied softly, “Um … Can I try on another gown? Maybe something with less pizazz and more common-looking?”
The fishtail gown was much too expensive. Tina should know; after all, she did steal a glance at the price tag earlier. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
It was worth a million dollars!
The thought of her wearing the million-dollar gown made Tina feel like a walking, talking wallet. Needless to say, it stressed her out.
“Uh… Well…” The designers looked at each other, clearly at a loss for words.
They were used to serving young heiresses of Freesia. Such women were well-bred ladies would always demand for the best and most luxurious gowns, seeing as their main goal was to outshine the other plain b*tches in their vicinity once they showed up at prominent venues.
Never would they have thought that they’d hear such odd requests tumbling out of their client’s mouth. “Well, Miss Lynd, if you prefer simplistic gowns, then we’ll find you one.” Under Tina’s request, the designers presented her a series of simple-looking gowns. Tina browsed through the gowns. In the end, she selected one that was cheaper than the others. “I’ll take this one,” she said. The designers shot that gown a quick look. “This gown’s style has already fallen out of trend some time ago. Are you sure you don’t want to consider other gowns, Miss Lynd?” Not only was the gown out of trend, but it was also very lame compared to other gowns. However, Tina stood her ground firmly. “This is the one. I like it a lot,” she insisted. Even a gown as old-fashioned as this was already worth a hundred thousand dollars. “Alright, then. We’ll pack it up for you.” The designers couldn’t help but exchange dubious glances once again. They all felt that Tina had an odd perception of beauty.
Tina finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she sank down on a nearby couch and waited.
