Take Me Away novel Chapter 22

Spencer didn't return to the base for the next five days. Instead, he stayed at home, mostly working on his computer. Fiona had no idea what he was doing.

Because of the upcoming birthday party, Wayne was taken back to the Cheng family residence. Since then, Fiona hadn't been able to visit him.

Fiona was sitting in front of the window as she painted. She wore an apron to avoid getting the paint on her clothes. She drew the landscape she was working on with utmost care.

"Fiona," Spencer called out. He set his laptop down. "The clothes will be arriving any moment now. You better stop painting."

"What clothes?" After putting the brush down, she turned to him and wiped the sweat off her forehead with her arm.

Spencer held his breath as he looked at her. There was something in her appearance that he always found dreamy.

"The clothes for the party tomorrow." He stood up from the sofa and stretched. "You can't just wear a pair of jeans."

"What will you wear?" Fiona asked.

Spencer raised an eyebrow. "I'll be wearing a suit."

Their conversation was interrupted by the doorbell.

Fiona hurriedly took off her apron and went to open the door.

"Hello! Is Mr. Spencer Cheng here? Mr. Terence He asked us to send clothes here." At the door stood a stylish young man, wearing a pair of white-framed glasses and a floral shirt.

Fiona looked at him doubtfully. It was only after Spencer called to let him in that she showed him the way.

Once he received permission to enter, the man waved to his back and several men entered the house, pushing in racks of clothes.

Fiona happily watched them unload, not because she loved clothes, but because she was intrigued by their design.

Meanwhile, Spencer could only furrow his brows once he saw the man with the floral shirt.

"Why are there so many clothes?" Spencer walked in between the racks and pulled out a low-cut evening dress held together by lacy straps. His face darkened as he asked, "What is this?"

"Mr. He said he didn't know which style suits Miss Ji best, so he told us to bring quite a few dresses." The man pushed his glasses up his nose as he spoke. "These are from Ralph Russo's spring and summer collection. It's haute couture!"

Flowers, cut-outs, see-through...

Spencer was so fascinated by the choices that he took his time checking the pieces one by one. He then pointed to a dress and said, "That one!"

"This one!"

Fiona said at the same time as she pointed at the same outfit.
