"Oh, sure. Let
know if you need any assistance," the shop manager replied to
with a polite smile.
After the manager and the other staff took their leave, I turned to face Hayden once more. Maybe if we talked, I could get his view on what he was looking for or if there were any issues that he could see.
"Umm…guess you didn’t like any of the dresses? Is there sothing that you have in mind?" I asked softly as I stood in front of him.
Hayden looked up at
and his eyes were a little cold and emotionless.
"Which dress do you like?" he asked.
Well, they all looked fine except for a few that were too heavy and too extravagant for my tastes but all in all any of them would work fine for .
"I think they’re all fine. They’re all beautiful so…" I replied softly.
"Exactly. They all look decently the sa. You’re the one who will be wearing the dress and even you don’t have a preference. How do you expect
to have a preference?" Hayden asked rhetorically.
Maybe he was right…
"Well, then…what should we do?" I asked, lost about how to proceed with this.
"Let’s get sothing designed and tailored to fit you," Hayden suggested decisively.
"But the ti constraint…" I voiced my concern softly.
"Ti is money. Money can also buy us ti," Hayden said as he stood up from the sofa that he had been sitting on.
"Do you have sothing in mind for the tailor design?" I asked curiously.
"Maybe…" he replied.
Before I could say another word, Hayden had exited the room to head back to the front of the store. I looked down at the wedding dress that I still had on before I heaved another long sigh. I need to take this off before I could follow him anywhere.
…
"We will try our best to have the dress that you want tailored. For now, we need to take her asurents," the shop manager said as she turned to
I had just walked out of the dressing room back to the front of the boutique and had no idea what Hayden had been saying to the shop manager.
"Take my asurents? Ok…" I said while still confused.
Hayden nodded at
and before I could ask him anything, I was being ushered back to the dressing room at the back of the boutique. The shop manager and the other staffs in her team took very detailed asurents of all parts of my body.
"What did he say to you about tailoring the dress?" I asked as I lifted my arms up from the side of my body as instructed.
"Oh…that’s a bit of a surprise…" the shop manager replied with a small laugh.
What are they trying to keep from ?
"Umm…did Hayden have so designs in mind?" I asked, hoping to understand what was going on.
"You could say that…" the shop manager said before she smiled warmly at .
In the end, I couldn’t get anything out of the shop manager at all and it left
wondering if Hayden gave them a life-threatening warning for them to keep quiet to keep everything a secret from .
"We’re done," I announced when we returned to the front of the boutique.
"Good. Let’s go," Hayden said as he got up from his seat and offered
his hand.
Slowly, I slipped my hand into his and he held it firmly. Hayden turned to thank the shop manager and her team, and I did the sa.
"You’re more than welcod. Thank you for choosing to trust us for such an important part of your wedding. Please bring Miss Malissa back here to try on the dress. I’ll give Miss Malissa a call," the shop manager said before bowing to send us out.
"Thank you…" I mumbled.
"Sure, thank you," Hayden readily agreed before he pulled
after him and out of the store.
…
We were in the car together on our way to have a eting with the wedding organizer. It had been a long while since I’ve really been outside. With the wedding preparations that we needed to do Hayden had decided to allow
out as long as I travelled with him at all tis. I was beyond thrilled to regain my freedom again and I didn’t mind spending the extra ti with Hayden.
It seed like forever since we were able to go out and about together like a normal couple like this.
Afraid that Hayden would regret and revert his decision, I never questioned him about the situation between the gangs. Since negotiations broke down between Hayden and Ethan on that day, I haven’t heard anything about the situation. It was probably too optimistic of
to wish that things were all smooth and well between the two gangs.
Hayden didn’t seem worried that we were out and about alone, though.
"Welco, it is an honor for us to work with you on preparations for your big day," a beautiful woman said before beaming a gorgeous smile at us.
"Thank you…" I replied softly.
We followed her into a private eting room that was as luxuriously decorated as the rest of their office. After taking our seat, the woman got to work imdiately on grilling us on what we wanted or our wedding.
"My na is Lucy. As I ntioned over the phone earlier, it would help us a lot if the bride and groom-to-be could give us so ideas on what you are expecting for your wedding day. So references, the or even just colors that you like would help us greatly to co up with a plan for you given that we are little tight on ti…" the woman said before smiling once again.
I glanced over at Hayden as I waited for him to voice if he had any preferences. Hayden remained silent while I tried my best to plaster a polite smile on my lips. Despite the fact that he ca along with , it didn’t seem like Hayden was going to participate more than absolutely necessary. I recalled that he did tell
to leave everything except for the outfits to the organizers.
