Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 172 Give The Dres

To Linda

In the past, such a confrontation would have already erupted with Hadley.

However…

This time, Hadley simply offered a smile as she scrutinized the dress. It truly was exquisite.

Linda had claimed it suited her taste to perfection… And she wasn’t wrong!

It was either a deliberate comment by Linda or an unintentional reveal–Eric, unable to help himself, chose a style Linda would adore even though the dress was meant for Hadley.

It was clear he always held Linda close to his heart!

It was the pearl hair tie situation all over again. Hadley believed Eric must have envisioned Linda while ordering this dress.

Thinking back to her welcome back party when she first came back to Srixby, Hadley recalled how the dress Eric picked for her was also identical to Linda’s..

A subtle smile played on Hadley’s lips.

She turned to the shop assistant and said, “Please, give this dress to Miss Harris.”

“Excuse me?”

“This…”

Surprise registered on both the shop assistant’s and Linda’s faces.

Linda’s excitement was evident. “Really? You’re giving it to me?”

“That’s right.” Hadley confirmed with a nod.

The shop assistant wavered slightly. “But Miss Pearson, Mr. Flynn ordered this specifically for you.”

“No worries.”

Hadley remained unbothered. “Since he bought it for me, I own it. That means I can give it away if I choose,

correct?”

“Well, yes.” The shop assistant hesitated but recognized the truth in her words.

“Good, it’s decided then.”

Unable to contain her excitement, Linda immediately grabbed the dress and hurried to try it on.
