Chapter 847 You’re Gorgeous
How could the manager not hear the disdain in Anya’s tone? While the manager’s smile didn’t falter, the warmth had faded away from her voice. “Since you think the outfits here are below you, please check out the other shops.”
The manager was implicitly kicking her out of the store.
Of course, Anya understood the message, and she was furious about being kicked out.
However, she knew that things were different now. Currently, she couldn’t even afford to offend the branch manager of some insignificant brand.
And so, all she could do was swallow her anger, and she scoffed coldly. “Fine, I’ll go. There’s nothing much your brand can offer anyway.”
“Our sincere apologies,” the manager replied with a fake smile.
In the end, Anya wheeled her way out of the store with her lips pursed tightly together.
The manager watched her leave with scorn in her eyes.
In her time as the branch manager of this shop for the past few years, she had met all sorts of people. However, it was her first time encountering someone as crazy as Anya.
She would love to see how long Anya’s arrogance could last, for Anya was arrogant beyond belief.
One day, someone would teach her a lesson!
After Anya’s departure, the manager calmly turned around and walked toward the dressing room.
Just as the manager arrived at the dressing room, the door opened.
Then, Sonia walked out dressed in a beautiful blue off-shoulder diamond-embellished dress with a mermaid tail.
The moment she stepped out of the dressing room, it was as if the world lit up.
The manager inhaled sharply as awe was painted on her face. “Miss Reed, you’re out of this world.”
There was no attempt to disguise the admiration in the manager’s eyes as she scanned Sonia up and down.
In the manager’s opinion, Sonia might be beautiful, but she wasn’t the most beautiful kind of girl. In fact, she had seen women prettier than Sonia.
However, none of those women had ever awed the manager as much as Sonia did.
Also, the manager could tell there was something unique about the way Sonia carried herself. There was something about her air that other ladies didn’t have. Perhaps it was because Sonia had been through too much and carried too many secrets with her.
Not only that, the mermaid tail dress had the same aura as Sonia. Hence, it complemented Sonia so naturally that her beauty amazed everyone who saw her.
When Sonia heard the manager’s praises and felt her admiring gaze, Sonia blushed with embarrassment. “You’re too kind.”
“No, no, Miss Reed,” the manager said, hurriedly shaking her head. “I’m speaking the truth. You’re beautiful. If you don’t believe me, take a look for yourself.”
The manager then pointed at the full-length mirror nearby.
Sonia turned to look at where the manager pointed and saw herself reflected from head to toe.
Upon seeing herself in the mirror, Sonia paused in surprise. She could scarcely believe that the woman in the mirror was her.
She… She was indeed quite the beauty!
The realization made Sonia’s heart race, as she slowly walked over to the mirror to carefully look at her reflection.
She then realized the more she looked at herself, the more beautiful she was.
Humans were creatures who appreciated beauty, and she was no different. Anyone would be stupefied to see an astonishingly beautiful version of themselves.
Hence, she was similarly stupefied.
It wasn’t like she had never worn a pretty dress before, but she had never looked as beautiful.
However, she had no idea why that was.
Nevertheless, none of that mattered. What was important was that she was beautiful.
At that thought, Sonia smiled at her reflection. Due to the gentle and warm nature of that smile, her beauty increased.
“Well, Miss Reed?” The manager walked over to stand beside Sonia. “Isn’t the dress heavenly?”
“It’s quite nice,” Sonia replied with a nod and a smile.
“Your beauty will be even more out of this world if you wear some nice make-up, a few matching accessories, style your hair, and change into a matching pair of heels.”
Sonia chuckled. “That’s not a bad idea. I’m making a note in my head.”
“Trust me. You’ll look amazing,” the manager said, giving her a thumbs up. Then, as though she was just reminded of something, she asked, “Miss Reed, would you like to take a photo?”
“A photo?” Sonia raised an eyebrow.
“Yes. You’re so beautiful that it would be a shame if you don’t have anything to remember this by. You can also send the picture to President Fuller. He’ll find it very hard to look away.” The manager winked.
Hearing that, Sonia’s mouth twitched awkwardly. She handed her phone over to the manager and said, “Take a few photos for me, but it’s just for myself. I won’t be sending him any pictures.”
Sonia’s words sounded like a rather bad attempt at disguising her intent.
Pretending as though she didn’t realize it, the manager merely smiled and accepted the phone. “Okay. Miss Reed, please strike a pose. I’ll definitely make sure you look stunning.”
“Okay.” Sonia nodded and took a few steps back. When she was far enough away from the camera, she struck an elegant pose.
As the manager frequently took photos for customers, she was a great photographer. Hence, in the photos, Sonia stood out from the background.
Frankly speaking, the manager was so good at taking photos that she could be a freelance photographer if she decided to quit her job.
When Sonia looked at the photos of herself, she recalled what the manager said to her. Then, after a few moments of hesitation, she sent one to Toby.
Fine. She would send him a photo of herself. Otherwise, if he looked through her phone in the future, he would blame her for not showing it to him.
After all, he had gone out just to buy her Thai food today, and he had sent messages asking if she felt alright.
Since he was being so attentive and sweet, she should reward him.
At that thought, Sonia smiled and put her phone away. Then, she walked back into the dressing room to change into her clothes before paying for the new dress.
While she was changing, her phone began to ring from where it sat inside her jacket pocket. It was a call from Toby.
However, she had left her jacket outside, so Sonia couldn’t hear the phone ringing from within the dressing room.
After a few moments, the phone stopped ringing and silence ruled the shop once more.
But soon, the store phone began ringing.
Although the manager answered the call, no one knew what the conversation was about. All anyone knew was the manager walking around the shop after ending the call as if she was looking for something.
When Sonia eventually exited the dressing room, she was greeted by the sight of the manager walking over to her with a man’s suit in her hands.
Upon closer inspection, the suit was visibly different from the average suit style. It was a little bit more stylish, and the fabric used wasn’t the usual dark and dull fabric. Instead, the suit’s fabric shimmered.
Sonia could tell at a glance that the manager wasn’t carrying an ordinary suit, but a tuxedo.
But why was the manager bringing it over to her?
Furthermore, the tie paired with the tuxedo seemed to match her dress.
If a man’s tie was similar to a lady’s dress, then it signified to all that the wearers were a couple.
Was the manager trying to recommend to Sonia a tuxedo for Toby?
It turned out Sonia’s guess was almost accurate.
“Miss Reed, this is President Fuller’s tuxedo. President Fuller has asked for your opinion, and for you to bring it to him if you find it is suitable for him,” said the manager with a smile as she showed Sonia the tuxedo.
“Toby’s tuxedo?” Sonia’s eyes went wide. “And he wants me to decide?”
“Yes, miss.”
“That means,” Sonia asked the manager, “Toby called the store just now?”
“Yes, Miss Reed,” the manager replied, nodding. “President Fuller had just called us to purchase a suit. As he is unable to be here, he has requested for me to select something for him before asking you for your opinion. If you think this suits him, you can bring it to him. If you don’t think it suits him, you are to select a set for President Fuller. He has stated he’ll be wearing it at the event which he’ll attend with you.”
Sonia’s lips twitched.
To be worn at the event which he would attend with her?
Didn’t Toby already have an outfit chosen for it?
Why did he want another outfit now?
Just what was Toby up to?
“I see,” Sonia said, facepalming herself. “Put the tuxedo down for now. I’ll ask him for his opinion.”
