The sales associate's smile brightened immediately. She loved straightforward customers like this.
"Of course. Please give me a moment. I will have it wrapped up for you right away."
"You have excellent taste, miss. This dress is one of our latest designs and one of our best sellers. In fact, this is the very last piece we have in stock," the associate added warmly.
Just as she turned to take the dress off the mannequin, the shop door opened again, and a couple walked in.
The woman wore heavy makeup and a revealing outfit, with a tiny camisole paired with an ultra-short denim skirt, long legs, a curvy figure, and an air of bold confidence.
"Darling, I want that dress. Buy it for me, will you?" The woman pointed directly at the sky-blue dress that Tessa had just chosen, leaning sweetly against the arm of the man beside her.
The man gave her an indulgent smile. "If my sweetie wants it, my sweetie gets it."
Turning to the sales associate, he waved his hand dismissively. "Wrap up that dress for us."
For a brief moment, the sales associate's expression faltered. But she quickly recovered her polite demeanor and replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, sir, but this young lady chose that dress first. It is the last one we have.
"Perhaps you would like to look at some of our other new arrivals. We have many beautiful options."
"I want that one," the woman snapped, her expression souring.
The man turned his gaze toward Tessa, and his eyes lit up at the sight of her.
She was stunning. Her figure and features were flawless, effortlessly elegant without a trace of artificiality. Compared to the heavily altered appearance of the woman clinging to his arm, Tessa was clearly in a different league.
Still, his girlfriend was standing right there. No matter how much he wanted to stare, he could not afford to act foolishly in front of her.
And for a man like him, pride mattered more than anything. Backing down was not an option.
He looked Tessa straight in the eye and said, "I want that dress. Why don't you pick something else?"

Yuhohoooo!!! Finally!!!...
Aaand~ Tessa and Stephen are finally back together! Yaaaaay!...
Why make an uninteresting, irrelevant twist when readers are waiting for Tess and Stephen to be together?...
Gosh just let Tessa and Stephen get back together already! Ugh...
Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
