Chapter 403

At the office door, Elizabeth suddenly caught a familiar voice: “Honestly, I kinda dig that white dress outside. If we’re short on time, that one’s cool too. This one.” As they chatted, the person strolled out of the office. Elizabeth glanced up and locked eyes with the surprised person. “Elizabeth?”

Elizabeth squinted, thinking, “Who else but Esme? What a small world. Just picking out a dress and I bump into Esme.” Esme raised an eyebrow and flashed a smile. Elizabeth was here to pick out a dress at this time; could it be…?

“Are you picking out a dress for the cruise party?” Esme asked.

Elizabeth pressed her lips together, her tone calm, “Yep.”

“A coincidence. I’m going too.” Esme squinted her eyes, looking pretty.

Elizabeth nodded, not fazed by the news. After all, it was a rich folks’ shindig. How could Esme not show up?

“But I’m going with Alexander. I’m his date.” Esme’s lips curled up, with a hint of showing off.

Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, indifferent, and looked at the attendant. “I’d like to try on this dress.”

“Elizabeth, you like this dress too?” Esme immediately eyed the white dress hanging in front of her.

Elizabeth smiled and asked, “You like it too?”

“Elizabeth, our tastes have always been the same.” Esme stared at the dress and couldn’t help but sigh. From education to men, and now to dresses, their tastes had indeed always been the same!

“Yeah.” Elizabeth couldn’t help but sigh. “Ms. Russell, since you like it, you can have it.”

Not just this dress; Elizabeth didn’t mind giving everything she liked to Esme. After all, true strength never sweats the small stuff.

“Elizabeth, listen to you. It sounds like I always take what you love!” Esme raised her chin, looked at the dress, and said lightly, “Since you’re into it, I’ll step back. Winning all the time gets boring.”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. What does Esme win other than Alexander?

“I’ve already had Daniela custom-make one,” Esme smiled slightly. “Daniela’s on a break and not taking orders. But Alexander spoke to her, and she’s agreed to design one for me.”

“Not designing for others anymore? I also wanted to have Daniela design one for me.” Elizabeth squinted slightly and deliberately said.

Esme smoothed her hair, crossed her arms, looking very proud. “You Daniela seems to only take orders from the four major families. Even my family is because of Alexander. Daniela won’t take it, so you should just choose this white dress.” Saying this, Esme sighed. “This white dress does suit you.”

Beyond words, Elizabeth could only wear such rented dresses. How could Elizabeth not feel the full disdain in Esme’s words? It was really disgusting!

“I’ll still see Daniela,” Elizabeth smiled.

Esme pouted. “Can anyone even reach Daniela? She’s not just any street tailor; she’s a renowned designer! My advice: let it go.”

Elizabeth nodded. Esme did make sense, but Elizabeth didn’t listen.

Just then, a woman came out of the office, smiled, and said, “What are you talking about? I heard it upstairs!”

“Daniela!” Esme immediately walked over to greet her, saying, “It’s Elizabeth from the Percy family here to have you custom-make a dress. I told her you already don’t…”

Before Esme could finish her sentence, Daniela directly pushed Esme’s hand away and walked towards Elizabeth. “Elizabeth is here?”
