Chapter 143: Charity Gala (1)
A few days later...
"Leslie! Are you ready yet? We’re all waiting on you!" Morgan yelled from the other side of my bedroom door.
I looked at myself in the mirror, feeling like a queen. When I first laid eyes on my dress, I was completely shocked. It was even more beautiful than the design in the catalog that my mother showed me.
It fit my body like a glove, highlighting all of the beautiful curves of my body. I was a little surprised that the deep neckline passed my mother’s inspection, but ever since my engagement to Karl, she seemed to have relaxed her clothing restrictions for me.
"Leslie!!" Morgan called out again.
"I’m coming!" I yelled back, slightly annoyed. We technically didn’t have to arrive for another hour, but Morgan couldn’t sit still.
I walked over to my jewelry box and picked up my most precious possession, Christian’s gold chain, and placed it inside of my small clutch purse.
My little lucky token.
After his gold chain was securely in my purse, I finally walked out of my room. Morgan scoffed as soon as she saw me, "I swear, Leslie. You can’t be taking so much time to get ready! We’re going to be late because of you, and do you know how badly that could reflect on Christian?!"
"Is he here already?" I asked, a little surprised. I knew that he would be picking us up today, but I didn’t think he would arrive so early.
Morgan hesitated slightly before glancing away, "He’ll be here any minute!"
