“Sylvia…”

“Listen up! Don’t make me unhappy!”

Unable to refuse, Sherilyn had no choice but to follow Sylvia upstairs.

The dress was secretly stashed in Sylvia’s room to keep it a surprise.

Sylvia led her into the walk–in closet, pointing to a dress hanging on the rack, freshly ironed and covered with a dust protector, “Look, isn’t it beautiful?”

“Okay, Sylvia.”

“Ma’am.”
