Let Me Stay The Night

“Where would I have the money to pay for this gown when it’s so expensive?” the sales assistant exclaimed in fear, a stunned look in her eyes.

“Regardless, you were the one who knocked over the cup of coffee,” Sally drawled with a shrug, washing her hands of the matter.

Christina’s crystalline eyes darkened a shade. Calmly taking out a black card, she held it out.

“Bill, please,” she stated coldly.

The two women gaped at her with incredulity brimming in their eyes.

As soon as Sally saw the black card, her expression changed drastically. If I’d known that she had a black card, I would’ve treated her with a better attitude just now and recommended her an even more expensive gown!

She promptly put on an ingratiating smile. “Miss, we can’t possibly have you pay when you weren’t the one who dirtied the gown.”

Radiating a chilly aura, Christina parted her lips a fraction. “I like this gown very much. And I don’t want to repeat myself.”

At her adamance, the two women had no choice but to keep their opinions to themselves.

After the sales assistant had helped to swipe her card through the machine, Christina asked her for a pair of scissors.

Shortly after, a pair of sewing scissors was brought over.

Christina took it from her. With deft movements, she trimmed the maxi gown stained with coffee into at mini version in no time, baring her fair and slender legs.

Compared with earlier, she appeared more impish and exquisite then.

Returning the pair of scissors, she thanked the sales assistant, who wore an expression of amazement on her face, before spinning on her heel and walking out of the shop.

No sooner had Nathaniel alighted from the car than his gaze was riveted by the alluring figure in front of him.

As his eyes traveled downward, a pair of snow-white legs entered his line of sight. Hmm, this gown is a bit too short.

“Let’s go.”

Murmuring in acknowledgment, Nathaniel swung open the car door and ushered her into the vehicle. Then, he drove away.

The cocktail reception was at a private clubhouse. The design of the entrance was exceedingly stylish, with two mighty phoenixes on each side. The words “Blue Night” were clearly indicated on the signboard.
