Perfect CEO

Chapter 669 I Want That Outfit

Gwendolyn chuckled in amusement. “Let's be serious. Have you thought about a career? How about coming to work for me as a manager?”

She obviously wasn't going to let Lucy suffer. The latter had the freedom of picking any role she wanted.

Even though Lucy hadn't thought about it before, she felt that it was time for her to consider her own path now that Melanie had regained her health.

She waved her hand at Gwendolyn. “Gwen, I'm going to pick out some outfits with the card. Why don't you come with me? Get Ms. Ziegler to pick up the children so that you can join me for dinner.”

Gwendolyn agreed readily, “All right!”

After giving Camille a call, she instructed her sons to get the two young girls and be prepared to be picked up by Camille.

Gwendolyn had also ordered KFC to be sent to their home so that the children could enjoy a happy meal once they were back.

Justin and Julian nodded. Justin reminded them, “Watch yourselves while you're out.”

The brothers were worried about Gwendolyn, who seemed unhappy over the past few months.

Lucy responded with a smile as she put an arm around Gwendolyn.

“With me around, there's no need for any of you to worry.”

Justin looked at Gwendolyn, hoping that she would be happy.

Gwendolyn said, “Go on now. I'll be attending a dinner tonight with Lucy. It'll be a relaxing evening, so don't worry. I'm an adult. I know how to manage my emotions.”

She, too, felt that she had been inconsiderate by only focusing on her own feelings and neglecting the children.

Truth be told, the three of them knew exactly what was going on.

Gwendolyn and Lucy headed upstairs and browsed around.

Lucy was in real need of a beautiful outfit because Lucas had instructed her to dress up. She wanted Gwendolyn to wear something pretty too. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

So what if she's married? As long as she looks gorgeous, plenty of men will still have the hots for her. Since it's impossible for Gwendolyn to cheat, the attention showered on her will boost her confidence. That way, she won't feel so dejected and might finally cheer up.”

After going through a selection of dresses, Lucy picked a white backless dress for Gwendolyn.

She would salivate at the sight of the latter's exquisite-looking shoulder blades, let alone other men.

Standing in front of the mirror, Gwendolyn felt apprehensive about what she was seeing.

“Are you sure it isn't too revealing?”

Having not worn such a design before, she wasn't confident in carrying it off.

Gwendolyn was someone conservative, values that were inculcated by Michael when she was growing up in the Ashton residence. That was the reason for her prim and proper upbringing.

After wiping the dripping saliva off from the corner of her mouth, Lucy reassured her, “You look good. It's not revealing at all.”

D*mn it! I'm actually hoping that she reveals more skin by wearing less. What am I thinking? I'm a woman for goodness' sake. Has Gwen turned me into a lesbian?

Right then, Felicia and Diana entered the store.

When Felicia's gaze fell upon the gown Gwendolyn had tried on, she said to the sales attendant coldly, “I want that outfit.” She handed her card to the sales attendant. “Swipe the card. It isn't password- locked.”

She was trying to show off by paying for the gown without asking about the price.

Lucy, who was naturally upset, snapped, “What is wrong with you? We're buying this dress!”

The sales attendant responded awkwardly, “Ms. Ashton, this lady has already tried on the gown. Why don't you take a look at something else?”

Even Diana gave Felicia a tug. “Fel, stop making a fuss.”

Felicia paid them no heed. “She's only trying it on and can't afford it. Do you want to earn a commission?”

She had learned from Diana that the Surrington family was giving Gwendolyn a tough time. Now that Zayden's eyesight had recovered, they disparaged Gwendolyn who had given birth to three children.

Gwendolyn didn't benefit from the marriage, as Zayden barely cared about her. Even the housekeepers had revealed that they were staying separately.

That was the reason why she still had to work and earn a living despite being married into the Surrington family. It also meant that she couldn't afford any luxury items such as the gown in question.
