A short while after they walked into the shop, I could not resist following them. I saw one of the employees enthusiastically showing them a few top designs.
Seeing me walk in, another employee came up to me and smiled. "Hello, miss. Are you here to pick a wedding gown? You have a great figure, and we have a few designs that would really suit you."
I nodded. "I'll just take a look around."
Even as I spoke, my eyes were trained on Leonard and Phoebe's every move. Coincidentally, Leonard happened to catch sight of me when he turned around.
His face immediately darkened. It was as if he could predict that something bad would happen with my sudden appearance.
After taking a look around, Phoebe selected a floor-length gown and asked to try it on.
She followed the employee and turned to head into the fitting room when she saw me. She looked a little surprised.
"Oh, Queena, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?"
Phoebe had always been great at keeping up appearances. She took the initiative to greet me and even made sure that she looked pleasantly surprised.
"It's not really a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason." I glanced at Leonard casually, then continued, "Mr. Nell, how many times have you come here to pick out a wedding gown?"
Phoebe looked a little confused at my words. Leonard, on the other hand, shot me a frosty look. He looked like he wanted to eat me up.
I knew that he would not act up in front of so many people, so I was being more bold than usual.
