Chapter 49

One evening, Rolin called to invite me to a boutique for a custom-made gown.

He promised to pick me up early the next morning,

I eagerly agreed, excited at the prospect of finding the perfect outfit for the upcoming event.

The next day, Rolin arrived in a sleek limousine, and as he opened the door for me, the car's grandeur attracted curious glances from passersby.

Rolin seemed to revel in the attention, a playful smirk on his face.

When I asked if accompanying me to shop would detract from his serious business, he reassured me with a chuckle, "Accompanying a lady to buy clothes is very much my business."

As we parked at the boutique, I noticed a familiar car parked not far away.

The car belonged to Leo. Was he here too?

To my surprise, a blonde got out of his car, and it was none other than Aria. She noticed our luxury vehicle, too.

Her gaze fixed on our luxurious vehicle, a mix of envy and disbelief crossing her face.

When she saw me and Rolin emerge, her expression twisted into a scowl of irritation.

I had no desire to engage with her, but Rolin gently took my arm and guided me toward the

VIP entrance of the store.

Inside, we were greeted by a clerk who informed us that the shop manager would be with us shortly.

It wasn't long before Aria burst into the boutique, her demeanor brimming with self-importance.

She glanced around with haughty air and then, with a loud voice, declared to the clerk.
