Not Fitted To His World
Blaire brought Jean to the mall that is owned by Crow Corporation.Jean is hesitant to choose any of the clothes hanging in front of her. She somehow knew the brand, and it was expensive."Don't worry Jean, brother Kier has membership in this store, and he has a 50% discount." Blaire smiles amusingly of how she looks so worried about choosing even one dress.Jean wandered her eyes in every corner of the store, said, below on this floor is where the Men's Clothes displayed.She steps closer to the hanging dress and tries to scan the design. Most of the dresses are daring, so Jean moves to another row, and she found a decent one but the price could kill her."Can we go to another store, Blaire?" She asked her after a long moment of trying to look something she would like."Well... you know, that this store is owned by brother Kier's second youngest brother's wife. And brother Kier has a partnership with this store. Meaning, what he pays still goes back to him."Jean is partly shocked by what she hears. Kier not only earns as an executive of a big corporation, but he is also earning a fortune from somewhere else. Their gap is getting bigger. She is just a peasant suddenly turned as a Damsel in Distress, that's why she met the Prince. She thought.Blaire studied her expression and guessed that she is the woman who wouldn't be instantly impressed with expensive stuff. She has seen many social climbers whose efforts to seduce rich men for them to buy these brand clothing and handbags, but Jean surely is different. She smirks."Come on, Jean, I will help you!" She pulled Jean to the east part of the store where cocktail dresses were hanging.She scanned the row, and she found a black off-shoulder knee-length cocktail dress."Nice one. You have a beautiful long neck, off shoulder is perfect for you," Blaire cheerfully praises her. "Try it on!"Jean nodded, then a saleslady escorted her to the fitting room. She gasped at her reflection. She untied her ponytail and just let it loose her jet black naturally wavy hair. Her face fits a little to the dress."Jean," Blaire knocks on the fitting door. "I found a few dresses you might like to try on."Jean opened the door, and Blaire's eyes grew wider. "My, look at you!"Jean steps out from the fitting room. She looks at her reflection in the wall mirror next to the fitting room door and it feels like; she is not herself. The woman she's seeing is a little different."I told you. Simplicity is pride. When you dress up like a classy one, it will turn out like a living goddess." Blaire quoted."Thank you," Jean shyly smiled. She is still not used to Blaire's praises."Blaire!""Anna!" The two women embrace."Jean, this is Anna, David's wife. I already mentioned to you earlier about brother Kier's younger brother."Hearing Kier's name, Anna's eyes quickly spark. She glanced at Blaire, and she answered with a wink. Yes, she knew very well that Kier had a girlfriend only once because she and David are childhood sweethearts. That is why once there's a woman who got involved with their clean freak brother, everyone got excited."Hi, Jean! Welcome to our store! That dress is pretty! It was like it was just made for you!" Anna complimented her."Oh, thank you." She shyly thanked Anna.But in her mind, why would these beautiful ladies praise her? She's totally different from their status. She was just able to get dressed beautifully now and soon everything would be just like a dream.Cinderella should wake up soon… Jean shook her imagination."Here, try this one." Blaire handed her a mango color dress. She likes the style of it. Still, a knee-length but a fitted one and a conservative slit on the back, showing the back of her legs decently.She excitedly tries on the dress and this one has given her extra class of appearance. She went outside and the two women gasped in awe."That's more suited to you.""Definitely!" Anna agreed on Blaire.The two women let her try more dresses, and she was dazed afterward. It exhausted her from the fittings and complained about how she could wear them when she can't go out often."What are you talking about? When you begin working for me, you need these dresses to wear during practices."She was dumbfounded. "Isn't this too much? I could just wear something like denim and a T-shirt." She attempts to refuse. No way she would wear around like that on ordinary days!"Wait, working for you?" Anna asked curiously."Yes. I offer her a job to sing at weddings or any events that will be held in Glass Garden.""Really!? Then I should start ordering specially made dresses for you Jean!" Anna exclaimed excitedly."Huh? But I haven't decided yet, and I am not sure if Kier would…"Blaire and Anna meaningfully glance at each other. Jean did not notice how they would grin behind her back."Why don't we have coffee?" Blaire suggested."Yes! We should visit big sis-in-law," Anna agreed.Jean just followed whatever these two ladies came up with... Blaire and Anna took each of her arms, and they began pulling her into the elevator.Behind them is Daichi carrying all the shopping bags. She glances at him worriedly but Daichi said; he is their bodyguard for the day. She senses a good friendship with these people.* * *Arriving at this exquisite coffee shop and meeting Michelle, she's more hesitant to enter Kier's world.Each member of the family is a successful person. His older brother Karl, married to an heiress of known popular coffee shops in the city and Blaire is too close to his sisters-in-law.The three women in front of her wondered what made her feel down.Jean cannot help not to admire them because of the friendliness they showed her despite being a stranger. Still, they treated her like a true friend, but she is not fitted to their world.While having a chat with random stuff and a few times asking Jean about her country, Anna's phone rings.While the other line continued speaking, Anna's expression became weirder, and her eyes grew bigger. Everyone is curious about what news she receives.* * *On the sideline:Daichi seated in a different table, he dialed a number and the other line quickly answered his call."Boss?""Dale, send more men here. We are at Crescent Café," he requested."Copy, boss."After his boss ended the call, Dale quickly made a call to the men who were just driving around but ready for a call from their Big Boss Daichi.
