Upon arriving on the second floor, the manager led them to a room where a row of gorgeous bridal gowns awaited them. Nonetheless, Jessica assumed she was in a clothing boutique because of her inability to see.
Lifting Jessica’s hand, he whispered in her ear, “Come, Jessie, just point randomly. There are two rows of dresses in front of you. Pick two to try, and we’ll leave with them.”
“They’re just clothes. You can help me choose.”
“I’m terrible at this and don’t know what you like. Perhaps your intuition has a better eye than I do.”
Jessica furrowed her brows when she felt that Wyatt was behaving strangely.
Why does he insist that I come along just to buy some clothes?
After being egged on by Wyatt, Jessica relented and inquired about the color and design of the dresses. She then deliberated on them upon hearing Wyatt’s description.
While Wyatt was serving as Jessica’s eyes, the manager discreetly called in a photography team.
The team quietly slipped in once the couple had entered the changing room.
“Is that really Mr. Lopez?” the photographer asked the manager softly while glancing at the changing room. “It can’t be. There’s no reason for him to be so secretive about taking wedding photographs, is there?”
The manager shot him a glare. “Mind your own business. Do you want this job or not? While they’re inside, get your staff to set up your equipment. Do it quietly and don’t say a word.”
The photographer was rendered speechless.
Since Wyatt was paying them a handsome fee, he got to work quickly.
Just as the video camera was put in place, the door to the changing room swung open.
After handing the controls of the video camera over to his colleague, the photographer tracked the couple closely and took pictures of them from all angles.
“This dress is really heavy and is tiresome to walk around in. It doesn’t feel practical to me.”
“It’s an evening gown.”
“Aren’t we just buying some clothes? Why are we getting a gown?”
“You pointed at it just now. Just try it on. Who knows, you can wear it to a banquet next time.”
Listening to Wyatt’s conversation with Jessica, the photographer wondered to himself why the former was behaving in such a strange manner.
Soon, he quickly realized through his camera lens that Jessica was blind and Wyatt was assisting her throughout.
While he was still stunned by the epiphany, the photographer saw Wyatt turn abruptly toward the camera and gesture with a darkened gaze.
Feeling a chill down his spine, he quickly nodded to acknowledge that he was just there to do as he was told.
Meanwhile, Jessica insisted on changing her outfit after learning that it was an evening gown. However, Wyatt refused to let her do so and praised how good she looked in it. He even got the manager to bring over a pair of heels, which he put on for her.
Under the pretext of checking whether the shoes were comfortable, he led her around, for he would buy them if they were.
It wasn’t until Jessica’s legs began to feel sore that he carried her back to the changing room.
Inside, she was forced to put on another gown, one that was lighter.
This time, she discreetly felt the texture of the fabric and realized it was made of lace with diamonds embroidered on them. It didn’t feel like something one would wear casually at all.
After being led out by Wyatt to painstakingly repeat the same process, she was brought back to the changing room to put her own clothes back on.
“We’ll be taking the dress and shoes.”
“Sure,” the manager replied, “Mrs. Lopez has chosen a beautiful piece.”
Listening on in silence, Jessica left together with Wyatt when he wrapped his arm around her waist.
All of a sudden, a loud bang was heard when something crashed onto the floor.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Jessica stopped in her tracks upon hearing the male voice. “Is there someone else around?”
