Chapter 22
Kate had already pulled Amaris downstairs. “My dear Ms. Wynn, don’t just stand there in a daze. It’s a good thing to attend such an event with Mr. Hale. It shows that he’s increasingly acknowledging your status. I knew it. You are beautiful and independent–how could he not like you?
Kate’s enthusiasm was almost on par with her own mothers, and Amaris got the message–Osric was trying to publicly clarify the rumors by bringing her in front of everyone
Hmph bold in action but timid in admitting it! If he has the guts to flirt with Ismay, why doesn’t he just own up to in? If he confessed. I’d save
myself some trouble
No need to keep pretending to stutter and act out scenes with him every day. Dragging me into the line of fire, what a hypocrite! Amaris cursed Inwardly
Amans wasn’t particularly keen on attending the charity gala. Downstairs in the wardrobe were various high–end women’s outfits that Fenella had just sent over today. Kate was excitedly picking them out for her when another maid, Ava, came in.
“Kate, at your age, how would you know what young people like to wear? Let me pick for Ms. Wynn Ava glanced at Amaris, who was still dressed in her checkered shirt and canvas shoes, an idea popping up in her mind.
Kate knew about the beef between Ava and Amaris, so she ignored her and went straight to pick two stunning dresses for Amaris.
After much deliberation. Ava finally settled on a drab, matronly outfit. “Ms. Wynn, try this one. It’s this year’s new style, very much in line with your vibe. I’ll do your makeup later. 1 was disrespectful to you when you first arrived, and I was sorry about that. But I’ve realized that you’re a great person over the past two days. So. please give me a chance to make it up to you
Ava, all sweet–talking, held the dress up to Amaris, but Kate pushed her aside. “Ms. Wynn, go with mine. This is way better. What she picked is just…..
Ava rolled her eyes in defiance. “Try mine. I’m young. This color is the new trend this year, called galaxy gray.
The two almost came to blows, but Amaris stopped Kate and pointed at the one in Ava’s hand. “Well… I’ll have this one then?”
After all, picking the ugliest one out of so many dresses wasn’t easy.
Ava was thrilled upon hearing her. “See I knew Ms. Wynn had the best taste!”
With that, she tossed the dress to Amaris. “Ms. Wynn, you go change first. I’ll pick a bag for you”
While inwardly, she thought, ‘Mr. Hale hardly ever gives Amaris a chance to shine. If she were dressed like a country bumpkin, she’d be sure to embarrass him! Oh, right, I still had to send a message to Ms. Everhart “
Amaris was about to change her clothes when Kate stopped her. “Ms, Wynn, trust me, that one doesn’t look good! Ava….”
Ava, who was picking a bag, suddenly turned around and glared at Kate. “Kate, what bad things are you saying about me again!”
Amaris’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she replied, “I… I also think… this one is quite nice”
Kate almost passed out from anger. “What a good–looking girl, too bad her taste is terrible. That dress is dull and drab. How does it look good” she said inwardly.
But Ava didn’t give Kate a chance to interfere. She had Amaris pr
put on that gray gown and then took the liberty to do her hair and makeup, slapping on a very hasty makeup.
What she didn’t expect was that Amaris’s face looked anything but ordinary without her glasses. Even with slapdash makeup, it still added a lot of
Even that drab gray gown looked stunning on her.
Ava lorked at her own work, growing angrier with each glance–she was supposed to make Amaris look ugly but ended up making her look even
better
