In the busiest and most extravagant shopping mall of S City, a woman was standing in the most luxurious shop. She said, “I want a gown.”
Shopping guides of such luxurious shops were good at judging people. As she stumbled in, everyone could see that she was lame. But she strived to make her back straight, which made her even more awkward.
At first glance, she didn’t wear any clothes of topnotch brands. Everything she wore were just ordinary items.
Tall and slim, the shopping guide refused to take a step forward. Since the woman wanted a gown, she just pointed to a row of clothes in the corner with her slender finger. She said, “Over there. They are on 70% discount.”
She didn’t even bother to move.
However, she tensed up at the next second. The cripple was glaring at her with a very cold gaze.
Quietly gazing at the shopping guide, Grace didn’t make a flicker of accusation or show a glimmer of anger at all.
At this moment, her heart was full of holes. Nothing could be put into and nothing could be leaked out.
“I want a gown.” She just gazed at the shopping guide calmly with her eyes blank and scary.
This time, she was finally treated fairly.
“Lady, what kind of gown would you like?”
“Black, solemn, dignified.”
“...” Eccentric requested. Of course, they had black gowns, but every woman bought the black gowns for their desire of looking mysterious and sexy.
Solemn?
Dignified?
Wasn’t that a mourning?
“I want, the best looking one,” Grace paused for a moment with her blank eyes slightly lit up. She gazed at the shopping guide. “I want him to be amazed at the first glance and then he won’t take his gaze away from me anymore.”
The shopping guide wore a funny look.
Black, solemn, dignified … This request was eccentric enough.
And amazing? So amazing that make others unable to take their gazes away?
“Follow her request.” At the door, Vivian panted heavily. She had chased after Grace. The high heels were almost broken, but she didn’t care about them. She took out the Black Card and handed it to the shopping guide. “Follow her request. Black, solemn, dignified and amazing enough.”
She couldn’t continue.
She could realize the madness of Grace more than anyone else.
The shopping guide didn’t know Grace, but she knew Vivian. Vivian was a senior member of this shop and her monthly consumption was up to millions.
She didn’t dare to offend such an important customer.
She wanted to ask about the identity of the lame woman, but she saw Vivian, who was very distinguished for her, was still respectful to that woman.
The shopping guide came back soon with another man. “Ms. Vivian, the designer of our brand happened to inspect the shop today. This is actually a once-in-a-few-year chance.
According to this lady’s request, I was unable to find a suitable black gown. Maybe he could modify the gown on the spot.”
Vivian nodded. “That would be great.” She looked at the foreign man and said, “Thank you.”
No need to explain more. The work was carried out in silence.
The foreign designer seemed to have understood what Grace wanted.
His hands were steady and fast.
After picking a black gown for Grace, he just began to modify it as Grace wore it.
Everything was in accord with Grace’s request, the eccentric and contradictory request.
Black, solemn, dignified and so amazing that no one could take their gazes away.
Yes, this gown was so contradictory that no one dared to wear it.
“Madam, would you mind a backless one?”
The designer asked.
“Will it make me solemn, dignified and amazing?” asked Grace.
“Yes, ma’am.”
