Chapter 173 - Think Before You Talk

"Great! Then we would buy this one ease kept it at side and Lady Maxim next you should try this one." Irene said said she pased down a baby blue dress to her which had a eyebrows bishop sleeves and a high waisted skirt which white stones around the waistline giving it more attention.

.

"Umm, but we already got one dress. Sam said as she looked at Irene.

"So? Will you only wear that one day at every party? Just don't think much and keep trying the clothes today we won't leave unless and until we buy atleast 5 clothes for you." Irene said and suddenly out of nowhere someone bumped iyno her.

.

"Oh I am so sorry." That person who bumped unto her said and the moment Irene turned around the whole situation got darker.

"You?" Irene said as she pointed her finger towards her.

.

"Aren't you Rose's nanny? What are you doing here? And---" Irene asked in confusion as she looked at the maids behind her and then at the dress she was wearing everything was Hugh class totally different form when she was with the Willson twins.

.

"Greetings to Lady Winter." Jessica said in a polite tone as she bowed at her gracefully which for some reason gave Irene goosebumps.

"Greetings to you too." Irene not sure about how to call her said as she bowed towards her.

.

"Lady Winter you can just call me Madam Jessica for now. And I apologize if my appearance just now sacred you." She said ad she smiled at her which rather then pleasing seemed kind of scary and unpleasant.

.

"Oh, that's fine I wasn't actually surprised, just I never thought I would see Madam Jessica here especially when Rose and Harris aren't around." She said while she smiled at her.

.

"Lady winter sure knows how to talk, anyway today I came here under the Duke's order as he wants me to buy some good clothes for the upcoming ball and I am myself though small but still I belong form a noble family too. So, all this is pretty normal." She explained calmly like she has the whole day but it wasn't the same to Irene who was in hurry to get rid of her and go back to Sam who was still trying on new clothes.

.

"I see that's good, then Madam Jessica please continue with your work and I---" 

"Please don't mind but can Lady Witner help me pick clothes. I heard Lady winyer is very good at it unlike me a soul in her 30s with no idea about the trend." Jessica said as she held her hand and showed her sweet smile which was putting Irene in a difficult position.

.

"Umm I would love to help you out but right now I busy---so---maybe next time we can co operate together." Irene said as she roved her hands from her clench and walked towards the direction where Sam was.

.

"Okay---(*So arrogant! I really thought that since she is that witch friend I can make good use of her but she is too slow!*) Jessica though while waking away from there and reaching towards the room especially made for her.

.

"Madam Jessica! We have been waiting for your arrival! Please come inside." The seller wearing soem bright coloured dress and the most tedny jewelry said as she welcomed her warmly.

.

"I am in your care." She said as she sat down and looked at her reflection on the mirror making her feel like a winner.

"(No matter what I wear, thanks to this beautiful face of mine everything would look good on me and I would be the most beautiful.)"

.

"Hey, did you see that customer over there, she is such a beauty even at this age one could say how great features she has got."

"Seriously, I know I shouldn't do this but I just can't get her out of my mind and her eyes are so pretty."

"Seriously I have never seen such a beautiful lady before."

The workers talked among themselves and all this words reached to Jessica ears and she was happy and feeling proud as she thought those words were for her.

.

"Hey you gossip queens! Who is the pretty lady you are taking about? Tell us too." one of the worker said as she too joined their talk.

"Saying won't be enough, how about I show you." 

"Really is she here?" 

.

"Of course look she is standing there wearing a black dress along with a ruby bracelet at ther right hand." She said as she pointed at the opposite direction of where Jessica was and her pride indirectly was hurted and she was self ashamed.

.

"Thats ---Lady Winter a VIP and regular customer and that dress is the only one in the entire empire made of pure black silk and that ruby bracelet is made of the dragons heart. All of the items are expensive and are probably especially made just for her." The Lady who was serving Jessica said as she bought a few new pair of trendy clothing and placed them before her.

.

"Madam Jessica, your beauty is timeless and all this dresses are similar to you they too are timeless and are under special discount! So, Don't be shy and take a look at them I bet everything would look good on you." She said as she fanned herself.

.

Jessica stood there frozen as she fianlly understood the situation she was in, all the people around her were knowingly talking and gossiping around her, and those clothes those smiles all were just an act and the main moto of there was to humiliate her.

.

"Madam Jessica what's wrong? Why aren't you looking at the dresses?" 

"Please don't worry we won't take money for trying them out or looking at them and if they are expensive then we cans how soemthing around your price range." The workers said as they somehow controlled their smiles.

.

*chuckles* "I must say that I am highly touched by your sincerity and your good thoughts but certainly today I must reject your kindness." She said as she stood up form her seat and walked towards the other section where Irene and Sam were present.

.

"Madam Jessica, this floor is especially made for Lady Winyer and we cannot let just anyone enter here please it's our rule." The Lady worker said as she stoof before her and glared at her.

.

"This lady here, I am not trespassing and *pulls put a card from her bag* this place for the VIP and this card if for the VVIP so I guess there isn't any section where I can't enter, is there?" She said as the workers face darkened and they let her walk past them.

.

"How did she get a VVIP card?"

"Did you see the name?" 

"Yeah, it belongs to Duke Willson the one sje works for..."

"Maybe they gave it to her in pity but---"

.

"Pretty, gorgeous, marvelous! I don't think there is nay other which could describe how you are looking with that dress." The designer who was happy to see his art being wore by a perfect of art said as he clapped his hands.

.

"I don't think I deserve so much of praise, it's all because of this dress cutting and design that it looks good on me." Irene said as she smiled bile looking at the designer.

"Lady Winter please don't be so modest, ask anyone and they will answer the same thing. It's because you are the one wearing that dress which makes the dress more beautiful." The designer said as he shook his head.

.

"He is right, before today I thought angels only wear white but today I feel like angles can even wear black." Sam said as she looked at Irene with dreamy eyes as if she was possessed or something.

.

"Lady Maxim you too--" 

"That little lady is right, this dress is indeed a sight and Lady winter is putting more grace in it but too bad I kike this dress and I want to buy it." Jessica who came there out of nowhere said as she gave the VVIP card to the designer's assistant.

.

"So, you are a VVIP customer then everything here almost belongs to you---but--- this dress is my most beloved creation and no matter how much you price it I won't sell it to anyone except for her." The designer said as he returned the card to Jessica who was shocked by the rejection.

.

"Really, even though you are in a clothing business you still hold and stay true to your principals which I really appreciate but I am a persistent person. Lady Winter, please give me the dress I return I will give your 2x the price you have paid." Jessica said as she tired hard pursuing Irene who was confused.

.

"But--I--"

"3X" 

"But---"

"5X"

"But Madam Jessica! I haven't bought this dress!" Irene finally screwed and said as she clenched her fists.

.

"What?" 

"Madam Jessica, this dress is a present from my side, and you should know asking for someone's present is a very childish thing." The designer said as he looked at Jessica who was turning red form embrassment.
