Aggressive wife novel (Madeline and Noah) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23

“Ms. Fleur! Welcome,” a staff at La Merveille Boutique greeted Madeline with a big smile, “Ms. Elise has been expecting you. Please follow me.”

The staff led Madeline upstairs to the designer’s studio. Elise Lambert shrieked with excitement at the sight of Madeline. “Maddie, ma chérie! I miss you so much. You’re finally here.”

Elise gave Madeline a big hug and kissed her on the cheeks. Madeline was not used to the French greeting and lifted a nervous smile. “Hey, Elise. What’s up?”

“You’ve become distant, Maddie,” Elise looked dejected, “Are we not best friends anymore?” Madeline let out a sigh and said, “What do you want, Elise?”

“Fine, I know you love me no matter what,” Elise beamed and continued, “I asked you here because someone wanted to buy Mirabelle. Yes, the wedding dress you designed. Guess who?”

“I have no idea,” Madeline shrugged. Elise lowered her voice, “Angie Grant! I know you don’t like her.”

Madeline was startled. She didn’t expect Angie to act so soon on her plan to marry Noah. “I don’t care. Sell it to her if she wants it.”

“Are you okay, Maddie?” Elise raised an eyebrow, “You designed the dress, and you are going to let your enemy wear it? If you’re strapped for cash, tell me. You don’t have to sell it to her.”

“I mean, sell it to her if she wants it badly enough,” Madeline added, “If she can triple the selling price and make full cash payment by today, she can have Mirabelle by tomorrow night.”

Madeline got herself and Elise glasses of water and sat down. Elise was impressed by Madeline’s plan. “Either way, we are making her pay. Maddie, you’re a genius!”

“I’ll leave the negotiation to you,” said Madeline. Elise nodded, “No problem! I like the plan, but are you sure you want to let Angie wear the wedding dress you designed for yourself and marry the man you love? I would be heartbroken if I were you, Maddie.”

Elise and Madeline had been best friends since high school; Elise was shattered when she got to know Madeline passed away. She was shocked when Madeline contacted her three years ago. Not only was Madeline not dead, but she had also become a famous fashion designer under the alias Fleur.

Madeline told Elise what happened after she returned, and Elise felt sorry for her best friend. Although Madeline was different now, Elise was worried because the Madeline she used to know loved Noah with all her heart and would do anything for him.

“Don’t worry about me,” Madeline said nonchalantly, “I don’t think Angie will have the chance to wear the wedding dress, and I’m over Noah now.”
