Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56

In the evening, upon seeing that it was almost time, Sylvia got dressed and was prepared to go to the ball. 

Unexpectedly, Tristan turned up at her doorstep to pick her up. 

Sylvia had just walked out of the door when she saw him. He was leaning suavely against his car in a slim-fit suit. 

Sylvia was taken aback by the sight of him. Tristan was also similarly startled when he noticed her outfit. Although she was dressed a little more refined than usual, she was still rather underdressed for the occasion. 

He quickly wiped the look off his face and asked, “Hey, Sylvia, are you ready?” Sylvia replied, “Yeap.” “Then, let’s go.” Since he had taken the time to drive here, Sylvia was not going to turn him away, so she got into his car. 

They drove to the venue of the ball, but not before stopping outside a private designer boutique. Sylvia was perplexed. “Tristan, what are you bringing me here for?” Tristan cast a look at her, sizing her up and down. Then, he said with a faint smile, “You’re not going to the ball dressed like this, are you?” 

Sylvia was a little offended. “Can’t I dress like this?” 

“Sure, you can dress like this on any other regular day, but we’re going to a dance ball where many important people will be present. If you attend dressed like this, it’s going to reflect poorly on me since you’re my employee, and I’ll get made fun of.” 

He was already opening the door as he said this. 

Sylvia frowned. Left without a choice, she hesitantly stepped out of the car to follow him. 

The boutique owner immediately stepped up to greet Tristan who was a distinguished guest here. Tristan asked the designer to choose a fitting dress for Sylvia. 

The boss looked at Sylvia, then at Tristan again with a quizzical look. Shortly after that, he presented Sylvia with a light pink dress that cinched at the waist. 

The dress had only one shoulder strap, which was adorned with beautiful blooming flowers. Layered with multiple folds streaming from top to bottom, it was a particularly artistic design choice, and though the color of the dress was on the brighter end, it was not to the point of flamboyance. After Sylvia put on the dress, they styled her hair for her and touched up her makeup. They had her long hair curled masterfully, so the end product was several beautiful layers of wavy hair resting at shoulder length. They touched up her makeup with a slightly pink hue which matched the color of her dress, 

giving her a vibrant and youthful look. 

Tristan was visibly pleased with the finished work and looked at her with a satisfied smile.
