The youth's voice wasn't loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly. Immediately, Alicia looked at the youth in surprise. She didn't believe that the youth could say so. I also looked at the youth in disbelief, but immediately I realized that my gaze was too straightforward and rude. Hurriedly, I withdrew my gaze. The youth smiled at me gently and innocently.
Kieran glanced at the youth and said leisurely, "Rachael said she didn't like any of your dresses. Adrian, what do you think we should do?"
I was so embarrassed that I wanted to stop Kieran from continuing. I was afraid that Adrian would get angry. However, Kieran seemed to have not seen me. Adrian sat beside me with a smile. He even bent his head and asked, "Rachael, you don't like the dresses here, right?"
Adrian stared at me with his clear eyes from at a close range. I instinctively wanted to shake my head, but I realized that Kieran and I were still acting. If I denied it, Kieran would have to spend at least a million to buy a dress here. But....
Seeing such a scene, Alicia, who was sitting opposite, immediately smiled brightly. She looked at me with gloating eyes and slowly said, "Mr. Orton, my sister should be embarrassed. She just said that she didn't like it. Now that you're here, how dare my sister say it! Mr. Orton, don't make things difficult for my sister!"
I glanced coldly at Alicia. She was forcing me to express my stance. If I said I liked it, Kieran had to buy it. If I didn't, I would offend Adrian.
But no matter who Adrian was, he was just a stranger to me. Of course, I chose to defend Kieran.
"I think my understanding of aesthetics is different from others. I haven't found a suitable dress here!" I forced a smile.
"Rachael, you are straightforward!" Alicia seemed to be joking for my own good, but she was actually telling Adrian invisibly that I just didn't like his dress so as to stir up Adrian's hatred against me. Sometimes, I really wanted to gag the mouth of Alicia, who always gave a false account of the facts.
"I don't like the clothes here either. Rachael, if you don't mind, I'll help you design a dress!" Adrian smiled at me without even glancing at Alicia.
I was stunned. I thought that I had completely offended Adrian, but I didn't expect that!
"Isn't this too troublesome?" I felt extremely flattered. Everyone in this world knew about Adrian's world-shocking talent, but no one was fortunate enough to see it. I became the first one!
"Rachael, as long as you like it, it won't be troublesome!" Adrian smiled at me.
"Thank you!" I didn't know what to say. I looked at Kieran, but Kieran was drinking tea, as if all of this was normal.
All the employees in the shop widened their mouths in shock. They looked at me with astonishment. I found it hard to believe, not to mention them.
The smile on Alicia's face froze instantly. She gave me a cold stare and then smiled sweetly, "Mr. Orton, you're a little partial to my sister. You've promised to design a dress for your sister. Don't tell me you won't do me a favor?"
Adrian looked up, as if he had just discovered the existence of Alicia. He smiled at her and said, "Miss Alicia, this dress goes with you perfectly. If I design a new one for you, it will be superfluous. Miss Alicia, don't make things difficult for me!" Although Adrian's words were not harsh, his tone was decisive and distant.
The smile on Alicia's face completely disappeared. She leaned on Marlon, as if she was wronged. "Marlon!"
However, Marlon remained silent. Seeing his reaction, Alicia had to stop talking, but her eyes were filled with resentment.
I looked at Adrian in surprise. I didn't understand why Adrian was so partial to me.
"Since that's the case, Kieran, you need to lead Rachael to me for a night!" Adrian said to Kieran.
Kieran agreed without hesitation.
I didn't how to reply.
