Chapter 19: A GIFT TO MY FUTURE SISTER-IN-LAW
Ch-19
Eleanor looked at the female who asked for the dress. She thought it was an annoying female. Her expression smoothened when she saw a cute little girl who seemed to be in her teens. Her eyes shined with genuine admiration for the dress. Eleanor liked the dress and wanted it but seeing the expectant eyes of the cute kid she didn’t have the heart to deny her. Her face turned from annoyance to shock to surprise to smile to trouble. All her actions were noticed by the little girl. The girl smiled at Eleanor.
"But, Miss, This lady already chose the dress." the saleslady said apologetically,
"But I only want this!!" The girl started yelling and felt like was going to cry at any second.
The saleslady looked troubled. Eleanor was a kind and big customer while this little lady also looked wealthy and spoiled brat. Pacifying them would be problematic. She could only give an awkward smile. If it was Old Eleanor she would have already started fighting head-on but now she only smiled and said, "Let the little lady have it,"
"But you chose it first, Ele," Myna interjected.
"This shop is not short of gowns," she said and dragged Myna away.
The girl who stood there looked stunned. She heard Eleanor was a top socialite and was known for her temper. Were the rumors all fake? Were the rumors spread by her bitchy friend, Jessica?
[My poor sister-in-law.... She isn’t even aware of the rumors spreading about her. She was kind, soft-hearted, and a good woman. The only woman like her would suit my brother! No... no... no... Only she would suit my brother! But that stupid brother messed up everything! Sigh! I should do something!] the little teenage girl said as she started walking back and forth.
"Miss... the dress..." the saleslady reminded the little restless lady who was cooking up something.
"Take this and bill this thing for me," she said as she threw the card to her.
"You see a person is wearing black clothes from top to bottom near the counter. Hand the things to him," she said and ran after Eleanor’s direction.
