Usually, girls would like to chat with their girlfriends, give in to their cravings, dress up, visit beautiful places, and take nice pictures together.
However, I seemed to have wasted my decade of youth consumed by work and hate. I did not even spare one moment to relax and enjoy myself.
“Sure. But I don’t think I bought anything nice,” I said to Nora.
She gave me a thumbs up and said, “Don’t worry about it. I’ve got plenty of pretty skirts and dresses. You can wear one of mine!”
She then dragged me to her wardrobe and showed me around. I was absolutely stunned. She had filled the hotel wardrobe with a variety of outfits. They were all various shades of pink and looked extremely fanciful.
I could not help but blurt out, “We’ve only been here for two days. When did you have the time to amass all these outfits?”
She shrugged. “I got all of them on the first day. There are many boutiques in Lavelian Village, and they aren’t expensive. Since they’re all so pretty, I bought them. Besides, they only cost about a hundred each, and everything was less than five thousand in total. What a steal!”
My lips twitched upon that. “Young lady, these clothes cost as much as my one month’s salary!”
She rolled her eyes at me and sneered, “Boo-hoo. Don’t try to play the pity card. You’ll definitely earn a commission of one million after the Lavelian Village project. Besides, may I remind you that your husband is the chairman of Fuller Corporation!”
Placing a palm on my forehead and sighing, I did not rebuke her any further. Then, I turned towards the clothes in the wardrobe and said, “I don’t think I’ve ever worn anything of this style.”
She giggled and replied, “Me too. Let’s try it out together these two days.”
Soon after that, she picked a beautiful white dress and handed it to me. “Your complexion is paler, so you’ll look classier in this.”
I nodded and put on the dress before sitting at the vanity mirror to apply some makeup.
After putting on a long neon pink skirt, she looked completely different. She was like Cinderella, who had just been transformed by her fairy godmother. Now, she looked absolutely radiant and gorgeous.
When she saw me putting on my makeup, she scoffed, “It’s so dark at night. With that kind of makeup, you won’t be able to see it at all. Here, let me do it for you!”
She snatched away the powder compact in my hand and started to dab away.
After a flurry of movement, I looked in the mirror and was floored by the person I saw. “Isn’t this… too much?”
