"Take your time. I'm in no hurry anyway. Make sure to dress yourself up. You see, I don't want to be seen going out with a village girl!" Claire called after her as she tried to put her down with her words. She doubted it that Leena could again strike her as a good stylist later.
However, Leena was taken aback by what Claire said this time. She slipped and nearly fell to the ground at her words. It was just that the phrase "a village girl" had reminded her of Justin. This imp once made fun of her using the same kind of expression. It seemed that it was impossible for her to get rid of the tag and she still couldn't take it well.
The weather was comfortable in this city since winter just began. The amiable sunshine had added to the warmth and everything was just beautiful. It was the reason why Leena picked some light clothing. She wore a pair of well-cut shorts and matched it with a holey cardigan sweater which was simple but looked unique and fashionable. She wore a vest inside to complete her trendy ensemble. In the end, Claire was rendered speechless as she never expected for Leena to come out as a lovely and fashionable woman.
"Honestly, Leena, you never cease to surprise me these two days!" Claire cried out. Although Leena had amazed Claire once last night by turning into a fashionable woman, Claire was still impressed by her choice of outfit today. It was then that her view of Leena's fashion truly changed.
"Why?" Leena puzzledly asked while bending down to put on her ankle boots, getting ready to go out.
"I thought I have seen through you but now I feel like you still have a lot up in your sleeve." Claire replied in an amazed tone as she wasn't over how Leena transformed yet. She hurried to put on her boots. She was wearing a miniskirt, thus, she chose a pair of high heeled shoes to emphasize her slender legs. The extra height from her footwear made her look a lot taller than Leena.
"I would be surprised if you really have. Now, let's go!" Leena responded with a thin smile. She said no more and bolted out of the house. In reality though, what she was trying to say to Claire was that it was not that easy to know a person well. She was not a sophisticated woman, but not everyone who knew about her true temperament could understand that part of her thoroughly. Humans were complex animals in the first place!
