Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 48

Chapter 48 Asking for Some Compensation

Everyone turned to look at us. I didn't want to argue in public, but Vivian's glare said she was ready to fight. Conflict seemed unavoidable. The waiter got Ethan's hint and smiled professionally. "Great choice, sir. This dress would look stunning on you, ma'am. Want to try it on?" As the waiter handed me the dress, Vivian snatched it away, fuming. "No way, I saw it first."

The waiter looked awkward, giving me an apologetic smile.

Vivian called out to Arthur, "Arthur, pay for it. I want this one."

Since Vivian claimed it first, the waiter had to sell it to her. "Ma'am, sir, this dress is $5,300. Please come over to pay."

I was shocked by the price, and Arthur looked stunned too. Spending $5,300 on a dress was out of the question.

"Arthur, pay up," Vivian demanded when Arthur didn't move.

Arthur hesitated and then said softly, "Vivian, this dress really doesn't suit you."

Vivian's eyes widened. "Are you saying my figure isn't as good as Emily's?"

"That's not what I meant," Arthur replied, looking troubled.

I felt emotional. When I was with Arthur, I never bought new clothes, and he always complained I didn't dress up. Now with Vivian, who dressed up but didn't consider his finances, he was clearly struggling. Ethan asked, "Are you buying it? If not, I will."

Vivian was too busy glaring at Arthur to notice Ethan taking the dress. She snapped back when she saw it in his hands.

"Do you like it?" Ethan asked me.

"I do, but..." I started.

Before I could finish, Ethan handed the dress to the waiter. "Wrap it up."

I quickly pulled him back. "I haven't even tried it on. What if it doesn't fit?"

Ethan's eyes slid over me suggestively. "Who knows your size better than I do?"

I blushed and whispered, "I think I've gained some weight recently."
