Chapter 100 I can afford it
“Oh, it’s my great honor to meet you, Mrs. Grant. What can I do for you?” The manager said, with a big
smile on her face. She was a middle-aged woman and wore work clothes. Later she explained to
Blanca about the store. Turned out, the store was part of the Empire Group.
Blanca took a swallow in surprise and started calculating how much the store was worth. Matthew was
unaware of her thought and asked Blanca to try some clothes on, but Blanca seemed to hesitate. “Er,
the prices are a bit too high. I don’t want to spend your money,” said Blanca in a low voice.
“Take her to the fitting room,” Matthew said impatiently.
Blanca didn’t say another word and walked away. When she returned, she looked absolutely stunning. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She had changed to a sky-blue suit, which made her look so different.
At this moment, the manager passed her a pair of high heels, dotted by diamonds. “They were limited
edition, Mrs. Grant. Would you like to give them a try?”
The diamonds were shinning under the bright light. Blanca couldn’t get her eyes off them. These were
absolutely gorgeous! She put the shoes on carefully. Next second, she drew cheers from the store
assistants. She looked amazing! The sky-blue suit and the high heels complemented each other. She
herself was pretty. In her little face, her wide, shining eyes, sweet lips and small nose made her look
tender and innocent. If she looked at you, you might do anything for her.
“We will take it.” Matthew said and a flicker of surprise appeared in his voice. Evidently, Blanca also
impressed him. Usually, Blanca preferred to dress casually. That was why he had not expected that
she looked so attractive today.
“Mrs. Grant looks so pretty, Mr. Grant!” the manager praised. Then it seemed like something had
suddenly come to her mind. She clapped her hands and other store assistants walked to the
warehouse.
Blanca seemed embarrassed to look at herself in the mirror.
“What’s wrong?” asked Matthew.
“These are too expensive, Matthew. I can’t…” she said awkwardly. Like other girls, she liked nice bags
and nice shoes, but she wouldn’t cling to it if something she could never afford. She looked at Matthew
and made a decision. “Let’s go,” she said.
“Why? Do you think I can’t afford such a suit? Or Mrs. Grant can’t afford it?”
“Yes, I can’t…” She stopped in the middle of the words. Matthew was right. Besides being a poor girl,
she was Mrs. Grant.
When Blanca was looking at herself in the mirror, three store assistants walked towards them with a
shelf. A beautiful, white wedding dress, dotted by diamonds, was hanging on it.
Blanca turned around and said to herself, " Oh my God!" It was so beautiful! She couldn’t keep her
eyes off the dress.
At this moment, the manager went to Matthew and said, “Please take a look, Mr. Grant. You asked us
to design a custom-made wedding dress last week. And this is what we made.”
