Chapter 1921 Beautiful Dresses
Charlotte, Lucille, and Madeline were all summoned to join her when the time came.
“But I don't have a formal dress.” Charlotte sighed.
“We can just go shopping together that day.” Since Cecilia was bringing them along, she would naturally make the necessary arrangements.
“Thank you, Boss.”
Charlotte wrapped her arms around Cecilia, feeling certain that following her had been the right choice.
Cecilia chuckled. “Silly, there's nothing to thank me for.”
Over the years, Charlotte had helped her immensely.
“By the way, when are you and Sven getting engaged?” Cecilia asked, having noticed how their relationship had been flourishing lately.
At the mention of engagement, Charlotte lowered her gaze. “That blockhead hasn't even brought it up.”
She was convinced Sven had feelings for her, but for some reason, he had yet to propose.
Lucille and her other friends had long since married, leaving her the only one still unmarried.
Cecilia pondered whether Sven simply didn't understand the unspoken expectations. Should I give him a hint?
But then again, meddling in their affairs doesn't feel quite right. What if he already had plans?
“Don't worry, I'm sure Sven has his own plans.”
Charlotte nodded. “Yeah, I hope so.”
A few days later, the charity gala had arrived.
Cecilia and her close girlfriends went out to select their dresses.
Madeline was the quickest to decide, immediately choosing the first dress that caught her eye. She stepped out in a pale blue mermaid gown, looking like a fairy-tale princess.
Given her porcelain skin, only she could effortlessly pull off such a color.
“Wow, you look stunning,” Charlotte gasped.
Madeline chuckled. “Really? Well, you guys take your time. I'm happy with this one.”
Zachary, in a particularly good mood, comforted her, saying, “Once you've given birth, I'll reserve this entire shop just for you.”
Vivian looked at him. “You're serious?”
“Of course. It's just a boutique. What's the big deal?” Zachary said nonchalantly.
“That's great. I'll be able to try them all one by one.”
The couture gowns in the shop were extravagantly priced, with some costing millions.
If one were to consider buying everything, the cost would be astronomically high.
In the past, whenever Vivian accompanied her father to events, she had only chosen dresses that ranged in the hundreds of thousands, never daring to pick anything too expensive.
“You're so easily satisfied,” Zachary teased, his eyes curving with amusement as he gazed at her, his look filled with warmth.
Just then, Charlotte, arm in arm with Sven, stepped forward. “We're all set. Let's go.”
“All right.”
