It had been a long time since I attended a dinner party. I opened my closet but could not find a suitable dress.
Theo probably saw me looking at the closet for a long time and came over. He first glanced at the closet and then at me. "What are you looking for?"
"A dress." I took out my old clothes one by one but was not satisfied no matter how many of them I went through.
Theo was standing to my right as he watched me go through my clothes with a smile. He leaned against the corner of the table."Is there something going on?"
"Yes," I replied without thinking.
A pink long dress. This used to be my favorite, and the design of the tail was amazing.
It was just too ostentatious to be worn to this dinner party. I was, after all, not attending as a guest but as the president of Green Orange. Even if I wanted to look gorgeous, I had to be serious.
I put away my beloved dress, shaking my head.
Immediately afterward, I picked up a black backless dress and compared it. Still, it felt like it was missing a sense of majesty.
With that, I picked out one dress after another, but in the end, I was not satisfied with any of them.
I looked at Theo who was sitting silently next to me and narrowed my eyes, displeasure showing. "You know what’s going on, yet you’re just sitting there. Help me find something!"
Hearing my protest, Theo sat up straight. His gaze swept across the dresses that I had passed and said with a quiet smile. "All of them have been rejected. You don’t have any choices for me."
There was even some innocence in his tone.
This man!
"Forget it. You men are all the same. Oh, my charity dinner!" I collapsed on the bed. Staring at the white ceiling, I was lost in my thoughts.
Theo leaned in close to me, propping his hands on the bed with a slight smile on his lips. "All men are the same? How many men do you have experience with?”
I rolled my eyes at him, anger fueling my voice, "One is enough to cover every single one. It’s like buying stuff online. Expectations are different from reality once you get the item in hand."
The man frowned, seemingly puzzled by my words. He moved closer to me. "What do you mean?"
