Iacob paused for a brief moment and continued, “I can forget about the past and have you back with me. I can also treat you like how I did back then, as long as you don’t tantasize that I’ll marry you.”
Eloise scotted upon hearing his words “you’re going to marry Sophia, and you still want to
a mistress on the side?” have an
“It can only be you.”
“Oh, I’m so honored. But I feel sorry for Sophia, though. Don’t you love her a ton? How could you think of having a mistress before you’re even married? Your love is so cheap.”
“Eloise, I’ll give you another chance!”
“Please don’t. I’m not qualified for it.”
Just then, Sophia came out from the fitting room. The sales associate kept leading her to another mirror, but she still walked over to Eloise purposely
“Jacob, how do I look in this wedding gown? Sophia looked at Jacob instead of the mirror.
Jacob grinned. “You look good.”
“Compared to Eloise?”
He grinned again.”
“You look better, of course
Only then was Sophia satisfied. She tumed to look at herself in the mirror, She was wearing an exquisite–style wedding gown, looking lavishly elegant. Sophia nodded in satisfaction. Just then, she caught a glimpse of Eloise’s wedding gown, making her frown almost immediately.
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder, but it could also be objective at times.
Just as now, Eloise’s wedding gown was obviously much prettier than Sophia’s.
“Her wedding gown must be expensive, right?” Sophia asked the ules associate
The sales associate smiled, remaining silent.
Sophia added. “I know that your store’s wedding gowns were all designed by world–renowned designers, and you cater to high–end clients. So, the prices must be

“I do have a suggestion, though. You shouldn’t just serve any random customer. You should at least check if they can afford the wedding
Eloise knew flut Sophia was mocking her. She wasn’t mad at Sophila. She found it amusing instead.
“Llike this wedding gown a lot, and it fits me well, too,” und Eloise to the sales associate
The sales associate nodded in response. “I’ll wrap it up for you, then”
“Make sure she makes her payment before you wrap it up. You wouldn’t want to pack the gown nicely for nothing,” Sophia advised.
The sales associate was slightly confused. “Ms. Sullivan’s wedding gown had already been paid for.”
Sophia’s expression darkened as she heard that. She turned to Jacob immediately.
“Did you pay for her wedding gown, Jacob?–
Jacob furrowed his brows. “I didn’t,”
Sophia gasped. “I didn’t realize your wedding gown is such a great deal. It’s pretty, and it’s cheap, too. Right! Sometimes, you can’t really tell the price from how it looks. But people always match what suits them, and that’s neverott.”
Eloise never intended to argue with Sophia, yet the latter insisted on doing so. Hence, Eloise tumed to ask the sales associate, “How much does my wedding gown
The sales associate quickly blurted out an amount. Upon hearing the p price, Sophia scowled.
“What about her wedding gown?” Eloise continued.
The sales associate hesitated in silence. Seconds later, she answered, “Your wedding gown is pricier, Ms. Sullivan
Eloise then nodded in satisfaction. “You’re right, Sophia. People always match what suits them.”
With that, she walked into the fitting room, lifting the hem of her gown
Eloise heard how Sophia was throwing a big tantrum outside. When she got our, Sophia had already left.
Yet Jacob was still there, obviously waiting for Eloise
“Please don’t cause me any more trouble, Eloise. I’m tired of it.”
“Can you think before you say anything, Jacob? What do you mean by me causing you trouble?
Jacob exuled deeply. “Gave Sophia your wedding gown.”
