Only you in my love novel Chapter 719

Lydia looked at the necktie Michelle was holding and thought it would fit Leon well. "You liked this tie when you first saw it. Just choose this one."

"That's right. Didn't you like Leon too when you first saw him?" Debra teased her cheekily. "All right, all right. Let's head over to the counter and pay. We still have other things we need to buy, and we haven't even decorated the venue yet."

"That's right," Lydia said. "Doing all those takes a while, and we can't afford to waste time wandering around. If we bump into Leon, our plan will be ruined."

Michelle nodded. "You're right. Leon's office seems to be nearby."

Debra widened her eyes and grabbed Michelle's hand. "Let's hurry up! Pay for the tie and leave."

The three of them headed towards the counter.

"Excuse me," Valerie called out to stop them.

They stopped and turned around.

'Necktie? Leon?' Valerie overheard what they were saying. She was sure that the girl in front of her was Michelle. Michelle had bangs covering her forehead and puffy cheeks. Although Valerie thought Michelle wasn't that pretty, she couldn't deny that Michelle did look cute when she smiled.

She had always imagined Michelle to be a mature, beautiful woman. But what she saw in front of her was a cute young girl.

She couldn't fathom why Leon would fall in love with Michelle.

'Is it because he had grown sick of me that he's looking for something else now?' she thought.

"Hello, what's up?" Michelle said with a friendly smile as she looked at the beautiful woman in front of her.

Valerie reined in her thoughts and looked at the tie in Michelle's hand. "I saw this tie just now, and I've taken a liking to it. Is it okay if you can give it me?"

Without intending to, Michelle withdrew her hand.

Valerie noticed the hesitation in Michelle's movement. She obviously didn't want to hand over the tie to her. Valerie let out a small exasperated sigh and, in a soft voice, said, "His birthday is coming soon, and I want to buy him a tie. I've searched everywhere, and it took me so long to find the tie you're holding. But it seems you picked it up first. I guess I have to pick another one."

She smiled kindly and kept her eyes on the tie. Then, she lowered her voice enough for everyone to still hear. "I really like this tie. I'm sure he'll like it too. I was planning on making him happy with this tie."

Whenever she looked and spoke like this, people would usually give in to her requests.

Michelle held onto the tie and felt conflicted. 'If I give the tie to her, then I'll have to go back and choose another one.'

She thought of handing it over to Valerie, but when she felt the silky fabric glide smoothly against her fingers, she hesitated.

"I'm sorry. It seems that you have to pick another one," Lydia said as she held Michelle's wrist and faked a polite smile in front of Valerie.

From the very beginning, Lydia had noticed Valerie, who looked like she came from a rich family. She had noticed that Valerie seemed to have taken a fancy to the same necktie as Michelle did.

She had planned to ask Michelle to give it to Valerie if Valerie wanted it, too.

But Valerie turned around after Michelle had gotten the tie.

It befuddled Lydia why Valerie came to them and asked for the tie now. It seemed that she was desperate to take it. Something must be wrong.

"You know us, right?" Lydia asked.

The look in Valerie's eyes shifted slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. After all, she was a sophisticated woman. "How can we know each other? Ever since I came to Lexingport City, I haven't made any friends yet. For the past two days, I've been selecting ties for my friend. I really like this tie. Can you give it to me?"

She looked at Michelle with pleading eyes.

As the woman's eyes stared at her, Michelle couldn't help but feel sympathetic. She turned to Lydia and Debra. "How about we pick another one? Maybe I can find another tie which is more suitable for Leon."
