Emmeline could tell Evelyn had no malicious intentions, so she smiled and said, âYouâre flattering me, Ms. Evelyn. Iâm not that outstanding.â
âI believe in Mr. Abelâs taste. Since he has chosen you, he has definitely made the right choice.â
Emmeline was speechless. This woman really knew how to flatter someone. Nonetheless, she did not argue with Evelyn.
âBy the way, the day after tomorrow is Mr. Adrienâs party. Ms. Louise, will you be attending?â
Emmeline nodded. âIâm going to support Adrien.â
âIâll be going if I have time. See you then?â Evelyn said.
âMmhm, see you then.â Emmeline nodded.
âYou guys can go on then. I wonât bother you anymore.â Evelyn waved at the designer and left with a smile.
When she was at the staircase, Evelyn texted, âHelp me get some drugs that can cause death, and send it over tomorrow. Iâll need to use it the day after tomorrow.â
The other party replied, âRoger, Ms. Evelyn.
â¦
âHow strange. This woman appeared at such a weird time,â Janie said to Emmeline after Evelyn left.
âForget her. Help me look if this dressâ waistline suits me,â Emmeline said.
âI think itâll be better if the waistline is higher so it can accentuate your long legs,â Janie replied.
âWhat do you think?â Emmeline asked the designer.
The man pinched his chin and looked at Emmeline with his head tilted. This woman was so perfect that any wedding dress would look good on her. However, he already had a better design for her in his head. Emmeline could tell Evelyn had no malicious intentions, so she smiled and said, âYouâre flattering me, Ms. Evelyn. Iâm not that outstanding.â
âIâve taken note of your features, so Iâll design a better one for you.â
âIâll have to trouble you then!â Emmeline was excited. She wanted to be the most beautiful bride and shock Abel.
âThis designer only produces a few special designs in a year, and all of them are worthy to be in an international fashion show,â Janie said.
âThen Iâm really honored. Just imagining it is nice!â Emmeline said.
âYouâre marrying someone from the Ryker family. In Struyria, only his designs are worthy for you.â Janie said.
âThatâs too much! Iâm flattered.â Emmeline smiled.
As they talked, Janieâs phone rang. Her heart almost skipped a beat as she subconsciously thought it was Benjamin. She took out her phone and saw that it was indeed Benjamin calling. At the thought of last night, her face flushed, and her heart panicked.
What will Benjamin say to me? He wonât chase me off with money, right?
Seeing that Emmeline had entered the fitting room, Janie walked away to pick up the call nervously.
âJanie, letâs talk.â Benjaminâs deep voice sounded from the other end.
âI⦠I canât talk here,â Janie replied.
âYou didnât come to Adelmar, so where are you?â Benjamin asked.
âIâm accompanying Emma to order her wedding dress. I promised her yesterday, and you know it too,â
Janie said.
Benjamin stayed silent for a moment. Janie could feel that his heart was aching when he heard Emmeline was ordering a wedding dress.
âMmhm, then weâll meet in the evening,â Benjamin said.
âWait.â Janie did not let Benjamin hang up the phone.
âWhat is it?â Benjamin said in a deep voice.
âI just want to say that I wonât force you to take responsibility for me, soâ¦â
After some silence, Benjamin replied, âWeâll talk about it in the evening.â
âAlright. Iâll go back once Iâm done accompanying Emmeline,â Janie said.
âDonât tell Emma about this. This is between the two of us,â Benjamin said.
âI knowâ¦â Janie then hung up the phone.
Janie originally planned on telling Emmeline and asking for her opinion on handling this. However, since Benjamin did not want her to spread this happening, she would keep it to herself. Maybe he was afraid of embarrassing himself in front of Emmeline.
âWho were you talking to? You were being so cautious. Could it be Benjamin?â Emmeline asked after she finished changing.
Janie smiled shyly. âItâs indeed him.â
âWhatâs the matter? Is he forcing you to go back to work?â
Janie stayed silent.
Seeing that Janie had a bad expression, Emmeline raised an eyebrow and asked, âDo you need me to help you teach him a lesson?â
