Chapter 479: Sonyas Odd Behavior
Adelle noticed three things today that made her think Sonya was acting very strange.
The first thing was that she sat in the chair all morning watching the Holographic Screen with a faint smile on her face, as if she were immersed in the romantic fantasy of the TV drama. But, remarkably, she didn’t skip the opening or ending theme songs, which meant she wasn’t actually watching the drama.
The second thing was that she actively sought out Lois to ask about fashion advice.
Although their relationship had softened, it wasn’t as if they had become inseparable best friends. To be honest, Lois’s personality left a bit to be desired. Furthermore, they were both vying for attention and beauty, so for Sonya to ask for fashion advice was akin to admitting inferiority in taste. Even Lois was stunned.
Surprisingly, though, Lois didn’t take this opportunity to be condescending or sarcastic. On the contrary, she seemed somewhat at a loss. In the afternoon, she took Sonya and Adelle to scour the commercial district in Galaxia, buying Sonya a few outfits and even treating Adelle to a few new dresses.
Honestly, this time Sonya had indeed asked the right person. While Sonya had spent a lot on makeup and grooming, she knew very little about clothing. She practically wore the Swordflower uniform all year round—partly because it saved her money, but more so because the Swordflower uniform was stylish enough on its own, adding youth and the allure of being a ‘student.’ Don’t forget, just over two months ago, she was still a genuinely poor and beautiful college student.
During the first half of the semester, Sonya had tried wearing her own clothes, only to be mocked by Lois and relegated to the bottom tier of the fashion ladder. Her outfits were not only of poor quality but also reflected her fashion sense, which was about as sensitive as marble. This made her look like a village girl who had just arrived in the big city. She was better off sticking to her uniform.
For the entire latter half of the semester, Sonya’s only personal attire was a black spaghetti strap dress, which the well-versed Adelle immediately recognized as an imitation of Delarose’s latest costume from her new show.
Everyone’s fashion style is different. Even someone as indifferent to dressing up as Adelle has tried out dozens of outfits to find her own style. Lois’s family ran a combat attire business, and her fashion sense was among the best in Swordflower. By seeking Lois’s advice, Sonya skipped the tedious trial-and-error process and achieved instant success.
