Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 10 A Handsome Man to the Rescue

After dinner, Holly drove Erin home. Because the Royal Chamber was a high-class private nightclub, it was inappropriate to show up wearing their work uniforms. Holly walked into the wardrobe and picked an outfit out for Erin from a row of nightclub outfits.

“Erin, whenever you’re free, we should go buy some new clothes. I haven’t bought any new clothes in a week!”

Erin had just finished her shower and had a towel wrapped around her head. She walked toward the wardrobe and removed the towel while drying her hair.

“I’m afraid I don’t have much time these days, I just joined a new company so I have to be more proactive! I heard from the other designers that they usually work overtime. Besides, now that I am divorced I don’t need to dress up anymore. I will be going home tomorrow to move all of the clothes that I want here to your house.”

Holly agreed, “Okay, we can go shopping once everything has been settled. What time are you going home tomorrow? I’ll come to help you move your luggage.”

“I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“Okay, I don’t have anything to do tomorrow anyways”

The two women started doing their makeup while chatting, Holly had chosen a unique dress for Erin. The dress had a mermaid cut with ombré green sequins and two thin shoulder straps that looked like they would snap with a simple tug.

Erin stared at her face in the mirror, Holly was truly talented at doing makeup. Her hair was in loose waves, and one side of her hair was tucked behind her ear. There was also a star-shaped pearl barrette clipped onto her hair. On the whole, her outfit made her look just like a mermaid.

Holly held an eyeshadow palette and watched Erin worriedly, “This man is crazy to leave so many visible marks on you.”

“Forget it, I’m just going to change into another dress. This one is too revealing!”
