Chapter 39

She was happy with it at first, but later it got her annoyed because the story of 'Piracy' reflected back again. So this year, she had called the best designer and gave him instructions about how she wanted her dress. 

"Ma'am you don't have to worry. Your dress would be the best" The designer said with a smile.

"It better be, I can't spend such an amount and get disappointed. And I have seen your past works, they are all nice" Roselle said with a smile. Looking at the non-challant lady beside her she became helpless. "Ain't you going to the event?" She said looking at Lylic

"Why are you asking?" She asked

"You don't look like one, I heard you would be the MC. And you ain't preparing anything. "

(Laughing) " You are well informed, I didn't give you the news but it seems someone did"

(Laughing)" Nothing escapes my eyes you know right? Anyway that wasn't what I asked you. Why don't you look prepared? Won't you get a new dress, something very unique?" She asked

"I don't need to, I have a lot of clothes in my wardrobe. I don't need any new clothes"

"You could tell him what you want and he would have it designed specially for you" she said.

"Thanks for your generosity, but I don't need one"

"You need one, the bill is on me anyways so I insist" Roselle said with a smile. She didn't know why her friend and cousin were unruffled. It wasn't like she had no money, since she was going to be one of the Masters of ceremony, it meant she had been paid so well. She knew how high her friend's cost was but now she didn't want to get herself a new dress.

"Ma'am what would you like?" The designer asked, looking at her. He had been stealing some glances at her from the moment he came. He didn't want it to be so obvious that was why he had hidden his emotions so well. When his personal assistant broke the news of his meeting with Roselle and Lylic he was enthusiastic. The thought of seeing Lylic made him ebullient. To him she was like the peace at the end of the storm, he had high hopes about her and had thought about the characters she would possess. 

He already had a dress in mind that would suit her perfectly. This design had been in his diary for decades, he just wanted such an opportunity to show off his skills using her as his model. She was also a celebrity, and with her perfect shape and height, she would be astonishingly perfect in this dress.

"Whatever you have in mind" she said with an insouciant shrug.she really didn't want any new clothes, she had a room filled with clothes. She had a lot of dresses which were now strangers to her. She couldn't recognize most of them and couldn't even explain how they got into her room in the first place.
