Lifen came out in a deep blue gown. The dress has perfectly hugged her curves making her look elegant and beautiful. Deming was mesmerized, he had shortlisted the dresses before keeping Lifen in his mind. He knew that she will look good in these dresses but he didn"t expected to look this mesmerising. His eyes were unable to leave her.
Even the staffs present there were surprised with her look in that dress. It was her look without makeup and she was looking stunning. "Mam, you look so great. This dress was just made for you and here it reaches to you", the manager exclaimed gladly.
Lifen smiled shyly at her compliment. She thought that the manager was just speaking out of courtesy as she has please the customers. She then s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Deming. He was just staring her with his eyes filled with awe and his ears turning slightly red. She faintly raised her brow at Deming to ask his views.
"What?" , Deming said. The manager gazed softly at him and said with a subtle laugh, "Sir, Mam is asking for your approval. I think she wants you to decide a dress for her".
"No no it"s not like that. I was just asking because we will be heading together for...", Lifen was trying to clear the doubts of the manager thinking that they have misunderstood their relations.h.i.+p but before she could complete her words, a warm wide palm grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. She stumbled vaguely and in the another moment she was sitting on his lap.
What was that? Her words were struck deep down her throat, her heart was beating at an unusual speedy pace. She looked at him with a blank face. "What are you explaining for? Weren"t you just asking me about your dress?", Deming said with an enchanting smile on his face.
She nodded to him staring deep into his eyes. Suddenly she heard something, "She is so lucky. I wish I could be in her place, that close to Mr.w.a.n.g". Hearing this she turned around to look and she could see several envious gazes at her.
"Oh!", she stood instantly. Deming grinned widely and then said, "You look good",then he gazed at the manager. The manager nodded and soon proceeded for the billing procedures.
One of the sales girl asked Lifen politely, "Mam, should we pack this dress for you".
Lifen nodded, "Yes sure", then she again went to the changing room. After that she paid for the dress and walked out with Deming with a wide smile satisfaction on her face.
She was continuously smiling looking at the bag in her hands. When Deming noticed her smile, he said with his squinted eyes on her, "What"s so special about that dress? You are continously smiling looking at it".
"You won"t get that. This dress is really special. I have been saving for long and here my savings became worthwhile. I have got the dress of the famous designer, Meng Yilan", she said with her sparkling eyes.
Then she noticed something, "Wait a second, that uncle of yours is not here".
"Uncle? Are you talking about Murphy? He is not my uncle, he is the Chief Secretary of w.a.n.g Corporations. He has gone to arrange something", Deming said looking out of the window of the car.
"Oh, but I thought he has a close relations.h.i.+p with you. His eyes has more care for you than respect. I think you are very dear to him", Lifen said in some thought.
"Yes, he cares a lot for me. He has guided me from the beginning especially after my parent"s death. And he is closest to me", he said plainly.
After some time, the car stopped. "Why we are at w.a.n.g Palace?" Lifen asked looking at him.
"Of course we are here to change and get ready for the banquet. So dumb, let"s go now".
Butler Yuan came at the door and greeted them, "Boss you are back. The stylist has already in the room waiting".
"Okay, ask a maid to accompany her to the room and help her to get ready", Deming simply gave him instruction and then turned to look at Lifen.
"Go upstairs and get ready fast. The banquet will start at p.m." he said to her with a gentle warm smile on his face.
She nodded and followed the maid upstairs. When she left, Butler Yuan said to Deming, "Boss, you look good with a smile. And this young miss is really pretty".
Hearing butler praising Lifen there was a satisfaction in his eyes. He then went to his room to get ready. His dress was already prepared. It was black tuxedo with dark blue edges. He took his suit and said to himself with a smile on his face, "I knew it, she would choose that one. I can read her mind now".
After half an hour, Deming was already waiting in the living hall. He sat on the sofa elegantly with a laptop on his lap. Butler Yuan came to him, "Sir, Young Miss is ready". He could hear the graceful footsteps behind him. He shut down the laptop instantly and turned around to take a look.
