Second Marriage novel Chapter 22

From his eyes, the staff sensed warning. If she couldn’t do her job right, she might be fired. This man in front of her was capable of messing with other’s head.

She then quickly took out the best dress they got and followed Charlotte into the fitting room.

“This is the most cherished one here, so let me help you change.”

“No, I can do it myself.”

Of course Charlotte didn’t like people watching her when she changed.

The staff complained, “What’s wrong with you? This dress is so expansive, if you break it, can you pay for that?”

“I …”

“What? Look at your own clothes, cheap stuff. How dare you shop here if isn’t for that guy?” After Charlotte changed several times, the staff knew that she was easy to pick on, so she took her chance.

Charlotte didn’t speak. She was embarrassed because the staff was right about her.

“Fine, do it yourself in case you tell on me later.” She throw Charlotte the dress, and slammed the door.

Holding the dress, Charlotte was in a daze.

Later, she put it on.

As the staff just said, the dress was the most cherished, completely different from those “old-people” ones.

She walked out holding the hemline of the dress, then towards Kennedy’s direction. But no one was there. Charlotte felt empty in her heart.

Where did he go?

He ditched her because she looked bad in those dresses? She walked back to the dressing room quickly in the same position, however, she heard a familiar voice near one of the mirrors.

“Honey, how do I look in this?”

“Is that a real question? You look beautiful in everything, babe.”

She stopped her steps and walked to the voice uncontrollably. The large cloth hanger blocked her, so she could have a better view of the two that were talking.

It was Aldrich and the other woman.

They nestled together. But the woman was so pregnant that she clearly couldn’t fit in the cloth in her hand.

“What a shame I can’t wear this right now.”

“Just buy it as long as you like it. You can wear it after you give birth.”

“Honey, you’re so good to me.”

Charlotte clutched her hands. Had Aldrich ever said such sweet things to her? She had no idea she would bump into them.

The other woman was looking in her direction. Charlotte hid out of fear.

When she turned around, she accidentally hit the staff. When she fell down to the ground, she grabbed Charlotte’s dress, but not on purpose, then Charlotte fell with her. They heard the most depressing sound in their life –the dress was torn apart.

The noise caught all the clients’ attention, including Aldrich and that woman.

The staff panicked when she found out the dress had been ruined. She got up and pointed at Charlotte.

“Do you know how much this dress cost? You did this on purpose.”

Charlotte was still in a shock. She tried to dodge the couple’s eyes for she didn’t want them to know she was here as well. She never thought someone was behind her and they bumped into each other. After hearing the staff’s accusation, she looked down and noticed that a decoration, which was supposed to cover her shoulder, fell off. Seeing people gathering around, she quickly covered her shoulder and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it!”

The staff sneered, “Sorry? This is the top product here, sent from Italy yesterday. It cost over 300 thousand. Sorry ain’t enough. You have a way to repair it?”
