040 His Condition
Scarlett’s POV
I really want to throw my purse into his face before leaving with Lilith, but I can’t do that to Granny. Our war should not ruin her day.
In the end, we watched Sebastian and Ava walk in with winning smiles, leaving us by the gate. While Ava attacked Lilith just to upset me, she has a point. I can’t let Lilith walk in there in her jeans. It would definitely upset Granny.
So long as we get a dress, we can make it through the party. Granny might not
her.

“It’s okay, I can wait for you guys at some bar nearby.” After me and Aurora’s awkward explanation, Lilith hugs us with a comforting smile, “I really don’t mind.”
“It’s only because-” I want to explain more. If only I had told Aurora what the party was about.
If only I thought I could handle Sebastian and Ava on my own…
“You know I don’t like this kind of stuff, I understand,” Lilith grins at me, not looking offended. Or she just hides it well.
“|=”
“What seems to be the problem here?”
An unfamiliar voice cut into our conversation by the corner of the gate, and we all turn to it in surprise. A friendly–looking guy leans at us as if eavesdropping, but he is doing it in an exaggerated way with a genuine smile, and it’s a bit hard to be mad at him.
“It’s just…” I glance at Lilith, not sure how to explain the situation.
But the guy is unexpectedly intuitive.
“If a dress can help your situation in any way,” He backs one hand with a light bow, “I might have one that suits the lady.”
I have no idea who this guy is. He wears his dirty blonde finger–long hair in a messy but cool way, giving a swanking feeling, but his bright smile and genuine eyes make it really hard to judge him in any way. He wears luxurious suits, but somehow he gives the sunny aura of the handsome neighbor that any girl would have a crush on in high school.
And he shares my eye color. Deep purple. Like a pair of modest amethyst.

“Did your friends leave?” Sebastian approaches with a glass of champagne, whispering at me as he shoots a smile at Granny.
