"Oh... I love it," Leslie’s lips melted into a smile, her heart pounding with excitement, "I didn’t expect to get another dress from you though. Thank you."
Calix grinned, soft chuckles slipping out of his mouth. He eyed Leslie from head to toe, noticing how lovely she looked with her cheeks blushing.

"It’s my pleasure," Leslie softened her smile, telling herself to enjoy the moment. She placed her hand on Calix’s, "Please guide me there, Mr. Xu."
Calix chuckled, raising his brows, "Prepare yourself to be in awe again."
