Chapter 168
Before Cornelia could refuse, Salle dragged her into a room filled with dresses, even more than a specialized boutique.
Sallie picked out a deep blue dress from the many options. It had no decorations but looked very classy
âGo on, give it a try.â Sallie handed the dress to Cornelia
âAlright âSalleâs dresses were rare and valuable. This one surely wasnât cheap, so Cornelia was extra careful while trying it on, afraid of getting it dirty or damaged.
Cornelia didnât know what fabric it was made of, but it felt very delicate and almost weightless on her body, without compromising the quality
After changing, she stepped out of the dressing room Sallieâs eyes widened. Tve been waiting for the right persoh to come along all this time, and you just waltzed right int
Cornelia, âWhat?â
Salle circled around Cornelia, becoming more and more satisfied. This dress was made by my late master and me. She said it was destined for someone special I used to worry that id die before finding the right person for this dress, but now youâre here. Cornelia, only you can bring out the charm of this dress.â
Feeling a bit embarrassed by the compliments, Cornelia said, âMs. Sallie, youâre too kindâ
âCome on, letâs show your man, I mean, President Hartley Sallie practically dragged Cornelia to the living room. âPresident Hartley, are you satisfied?â
Marcus looked up and saw Cornelia, whose skin was already great, looking even more flawless against the deep blue color The perfectly tailored dress hugged her curves, and she looked
stunning
He had seen Cornelia in a dress before and knew she had a great figure. But at this moment, his calm heart was like a lake disturbed by a huge rock, creating ripples of passion.
Cornelia felt uncomfortable under his gaze. But due to her professionalism, she stood still and let him look.
Being a personal assistant was like that she had to take care of everything for him, and trying on clothes was nothing.
But after a long time, he was still staring at her without commenting on the dressâs suitability
Cornelia had to speak up, âPresident Hartley, have you made a decision? Do you want me to try other styles?â
So she thought he brought her here to help try on clothes?
Although he knew she might think so, hearing her say it still made Marcus a bit unhappy âYou look great. No need to try on anything else.â
Sallie added, âCornelia does look fantastic. Iâll give this dress to her. President Hartley, choose another one for your wifeâ
âMs. Sallie, Iâm just a fitting model. Itâs such a precious dress. President Hartleyâs wife should be more suitable than meâ Cornelia occasionally wore dresses, but she usually went for something casual and comfortable.
It would be a waste if this dress, made by two generations, is handed over to someone who does not know how to appreciate it. But Marcus insisted, âTake it. A good dress should find its rightful ownerâ
Sallie agreed, âI make the clothes, so I decide who suits them best.â
The two of them managed to convince Cornelia to accept the expensive dress
When Cornelia went back to change, Marcus poured Sallie a cup of tea and said, Thank you for helping me with the act.â
Sallie replied, âIf I hadnât seen how well Cornelia wore the dress today, I might not have given it to you. Now, consider it as you paid a high price for my prized possession, and Iâve found the right owner for the dress No one owes anyone anythingâ
