What nonsense this guy spouted!
"Thank you," replied Ranita coolly while catching sight of Shannon approaching wearing an identical dress! She couldn't believe it – they were both wearing exactly same thing!
The only difference being that due to work requirements she had altered hers slightly whereas Shannon's appeared original - long trailing hem swaying gracefully when walking, making it look like blue butterfly wings fluttering about gracefully behind its wearer.
Shannon also had fair skin and wore sparkling diamond necklace around neck, making herself look even more glamorous than ever before!
"Brendon!" Shannon glanced at Ranita and immediately sweetly linked arms with Brendon, half-leaning against him. She then greeted Ranita, "Hey Ranita! What a coincidence! I didn't expect us to have the same idea today!"
Ranita nodded her head but didn't respond.
Brendon was the center of attention, especially with Ranita matching Shannon's outfit. Many people's eyes were drawn to them. However, more people were focused on Ranita; she looked stunning in her blue velvet dress but compared to Shannon next to her, it seemed like she was wearing a knockoff version.
It made people think less of her for wearing such an important event in a fake dress.
"Brendon, who do you think looks better in this dress? Me or Ranita?" Shannon pouted and paused before continuing playfully, "My aunt told me that there are only two dresses like this one back home - one that she bought for me and another one that is rumored to be in Steland."
The implication was clear: Ranita's dress was fake.
Brendon frowned and changed the subject, "Let's go inside now! If there's anything you want me to buy later on, just write it down."
Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, just hearing Brendon say those words would make anyone jealous including Ranita.
