“Oh, sure. Let me know if you need any assistance,” the shop manager replied to me with a polite smile.
After the manager and the other staff took their leave, I turned to face Hayden once more. Maybe if we talked, I could get his view on what he was looking for or if there were any issues that he could see.
“Umm…guess you didn’t like any of the dresses? Is there something that you have in mind?” I asked softly as I stood in front of him.
Hayden looked up at me and his eyes were a little cold and emotionless.
“Which dress do you like?” he asked.
Well, they all looked fine except for a few that were too heavy and too extravagant for my tastes but all in all any of them would work fine for me.
“I think they’re all fine. They’re all beautiful so…” I replied softly.
“Exactly. They all look decently the same. You’re the one who will be wearing the dress and even you don’t have a preference. How do you expect me to have a preference?” Hayden asked rhetorically.
Maybe he was right…
“Well, then…what should we do?” I asked, lost about how to proceed with this.
“Let’s get something designed and tailored to fit you,” Hayden suggested decisively.
“But the time constraint…” I voiced my concern softly.
“Time is money. Money can also buy us time,” Hayden said as he stood up from the sofa that he had been sitting on.
“Do you have something in mind for the tailor design?” I asked curiously.
“Maybe…” he replied.
Before I could say another word, Hayden had exited the room to head back to the front of the store. I looked down at the wedding dress that I still had on before I heaved another long sigh. I need to take this off before I could follow him anywhere.
…
“We will try our best to have the dress that you want tailored. For now, we need to take her measurements,” the shop manager said as she turned to me
I had just walked out of the dressing room back to the front of the boutique and had no idea what Hayden had been saying to the shop manager.
“Take my measurements? Ok…” I said while still confused.
Hayden nodded at me and before I could ask him anything, I was being ushered back to the dressing room at the back of the boutique. The shop manager and the other staffs in her team took very detailed measurements of all parts of my body.
