Chapter 384: Really?
Isabella stood in front of her wardrobe with a frown on her face. Her fingers trailed over the array of fabrics that had beenleft untouched for a while now. Finally, her hands stopped on a little creation, delighting her. This was it. This dress was what she would wear for tonight.
Grabbing the little thing, she caressed it slightly and murmured lovingly," I’ve been unfair to you, haven’t I? Never wearing you outside when you are meant to be shown off?"
Holding the dress in front of her as she stood in front of the mirror, she grinned at it. This was the most audacious dress she had bought till date. On first look, it looked like a simply short black dress but on the second look...
The dress was so short that it bothered on this side of being decent. The boudoir look neckline was covered by translucent lace, giving a tantalising view as someone moved while the butterfly designed lace made it look as if its wings werre fluttering. The dress moulded her body and was tight enough that she dare not breathe deeply or she risked the dress coming apart.
Shaking her head, she wiggled out of her office clothing," Don’t worry, I’ll give up a bit of oxygen to look awesome tonight."
Soon, Isabella stood in front of the mirror again, staring at her reflection as she chose between two earrings, finally settling on the longer thin one that brushed against her shoulders, their subtle jingle pleasing her.
Just then the bell rang making her frown. Who could it be? As she walked towards the door, she played with the second earring in her hand, humming to a random tune.
"Wh.. What are you doing here?"
Ian stood at the door, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. But seeing the vision in front of him, he seemed to forget everything else. His eyes scanned her from head to toe, taking in the short dress that clung to her. For the first time in his life, he was lost for words.
