Chapter 1372
“If you don’t like this dress, you can choose another one,” Calvin rémarked.
“No need. This one will do,” Hanna responded.
She then walked into the fitting room with the dressing when Calvin walked to sit down on a couch.
Even though he was aware that anyone might wear a purple dress, he couldn’t help but ask Hanna to change it when he saw the one on her.
Hanna looked beautiful in that dress, which toned up her disposition. But he didn’t want to see her wearing it as if it hurt his eyes.
After putting on a pink dress, Hanna walked out of the fitting room.
Calvin looked up at her and said, “Very nice. That’s it, but your neck needs some adornment.” As he spoke, he turned to the manager and remarked, “Bring some jewelry.”
The manager hurriedly responded and had the jewelry brought over for Hanna.
Hanna knew all the jewelry was real and possibly quite valuable the moment she saw the manager carefully pick up jewelry and put it on her while wearing gloves.
When the manager took out a set of pearl necklaces and earrings, Calvin said, “Try it on.”
As he spoke, he took the pearl necklace from the manager and leaned down slightly to put it on for Hanna.
The pearl brought a hint of cooling when it touched her neck. She felt excited when his soft breath brushed her face.
This scene resembled her comic book plot.
“What do you think?” Calvin’s voice sounded above her head.
“Huh?” With a jolt, Hanna looked up at the mirror in front of her, catching the dark eyes in the mirror. ” Very…nice…” She started to stutter a little.
“Then we’ll take this set,” Calvin said, picking up the pearl earrings with his slender fingers and helping Hanna put them on.
Hanna watched him closely in the mirror as he assisted her in putting on the earrings.
Her heart was pounding so fast, as if something was going to burst.
Hanna gazed at the image in the mirror after putting on the pearl necklace and earrings. Now she looked noble and elegant, with a hint of cuteness, just like those celebrities in magazines.
But she was aware that it was only the result of the makeup, jewelry, and dress. She was just an unknown cartoonist.
She looked at Calvin, who was swiping the bank card without hesitation. It was a huge amount that she couldn’t afford to pay.
The manager and the salesperson looked at her with jealousy, as if they had seen a play about Cinderella meeting her wealthy prince.
But Hanna knew that everything was fake.
Even the gentleness he displayed when assisting her with the jewelry just now was a performance. It was just a show for the onlookers.
After everything was done, Calvin checked the time and said, “It’s almost time for dinner. We should go.”
“Okay,” Hanna replied, followed him outside, and got in his car.
They sat in the back seat. Looking at his appealing side face, Hanna recalled Lorin’s words. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
How might a man like Calvin appear if he were deeply in love?
How much did he love Rosalie?
“What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me?” Calvin’s voice suddenly sounded in the car.
She suddenly came back to her senses and asked, “I was wondering…if you dislike purple.”
He glanced at her, somehow giving off a sense of oppression.
She quickly explained, “Last time we were shopping, you chose the mint dress for me instead of the purple one You picked out pink for me this time. I think you don’t like purple.
He pursed his thin lips slightly and said after a while, “It’s not like that. I just thought other colors looked better on you than purple.”
She blinked her eyes and said, “Okay.”
“Well, you don’t have to worry about anything at today’s banquet. Just be yourself. Just keep one thing in mind.”
“Which one?” Hanna asked nervously.
“You are my girlfriend, and you love me very much. Never forget that,” Calvin reminded her as his sparkling eyes were fixed on her.
For a moment, she felt that she couldn’t take her eyes off his face.
His eyes and voice seemed to be a kind of magic, constantly reminding her that she was his girlfriend!
This banquet was for celebrities in Strico. It was quite private because no reporters would be present.
For socializing, the majority of the attendees were Strico celebrities, including some famous stars and influential figures from other industries.
Hanna was glad there weren’t any reporters. She didn’t want to be shot by reporters and become a trending topic online.
“Remember to remind me if I behave inappropriately,” Hanna whispered to Calvin.
He found it amusing and smiled at how much she was focusing on her demeanor.
Although Calvin had brought many women to banquets before, Hanna was the only one who appeared anxious and apprehensive.
His former girlfriends were more proud and ambitious when they came to the banquets with him. They wanted the public to recognize their identification as his girlfriend.
However, Hanna was different. There was no such ambition in her eyes. Sometimes, she would look at him with amazement and disbelief, but she soon snapped back to reality.
She seemed to be well aware of the situation, He had no reason to worry
She made him feel much more relieved.
Calvin leaned down slightly and whispered in Hanna’s ear, “Don’t worry about that. Even if you misbehave, it doesn’t matter. Just show me your love from now on until we leave.”
Unlike his typical coldness, his voice was gentle.
Hanna’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. “Well…how do you want me to show my love?” she asked, looking up at his face. Should they hold hands at the banquet?
