The Secret Behind Hailey's Apparel

Glenda pushed the glass door open but no receptionist came out to greet her. Perhaps, they were inside, preparing stuffs, she thought. She looked around the room and saw those mannequins in the corners, clad with glamorous, bridal gowns.

After few minutes, she sat down in a couch and picked up a magazine with big print on the cover, " Hailey's Apparel". Her eyes glowed in happiness. This was her husband's favorite brand.

As soon as she opened the first page, the joy in her heart suddenly turned to a sudden wave of shock!

In it was a photo of a ten - year - old girl, posing for a dress design. She stared at it, closer and closer as she squinted her eyes but still, she couldn't be wrong. She looked exactly like Gracie. To common eyes, the difference couldn't be pointed out but to a mother, the contrast was crystal clear.

Then, she heard a woman's voice inside the room talking to someone on the phone. She could still remember well. It was Maxine's.
