Chapter 55 - 55

With a heavy sigh, Lady Melissa went back into the dressing room to try out the other dresses.

After a few minutes, she reappeared again, this time with a different dress.

"It looks like it doesn't fit you and that the dress would burst at any time."

Lady Melissa dejectedly carried her footsteps once more into the dressing room, wanting this just to be done already.

"No, you look too small in it."

"Looks nice, though it looks a little tight for you."

"OH, THIS IS THE ONE!"

Finally, after what seemed like hours of Lady Celine's commentary on the dresses she had tried, Lady Celine found the dress that seemed to fit Lady Melissa's style and appearance the most.

"The red dress looks beautiful on you, Lady Melissa!"

Lady Melissa was flustered, and her cheeks had turned red.

"Thank you for the compliment Lady Celine."

"It's nothing, and we should probably go back to the tea party now."

"Alright then, I'll call my maid."

"Oh, you can leave her here so she can talk with the others. I'm sure she finds it boring."

"Ohh, really? Thank you so much for allowing her too!"

Lady Melissa cheerfully said.

"Sophia!"

Lady Melissa called, and within a few seconds, Sophia had appeared right in front of her.

"Yes, Lady Melissa?"

"You'll be staying here until I get back from the tea party."

Lady Melissa ordered.

"Okay, Lady Melissa."

Sophia bowed her head down in respect before Lady Melissa, and Lady Celine finally left the room together, returning to the tea party.

Lady Celine and Lady Melissa used the same path they took to reach the Mendora estate faster.

And within 15-20 minutes, they had arrived back at the tea party.

And they were greeted with the ladies whispering to each other.

No surprise, though. After all, Lady Celine and Lady Melissa had left the tea party for around 45 minutes now, leaving the guests all to themselves.

"Oh, hi, Lady Melissa and Lady Celine!"

One of the ladies stood up from her chair, greeting both of the ladies.

"Hello to you too."

Lady Melissa greeted the Lady back.

"Hello to you as well."

Lady Celine greeted the Lady as well.

"Sorry, it took longer than expected."

Lady Celine apologized to the ladies.

"No, it's fine. Besides, we didn't have to wait long for you guys."

The lady said, trying to comfort Lady Celine.

"We can continue the tea party now if you want, Lady Celine."

One of the other ladies said.

"If you don't mind?"

Lady Celine acted shy and embarrassed, maintaining the shy girl attitude.

The other ladies nodded in agreement, and they wanted the tea party to continue.

The tea party continued, and this time it was without a hitch, though Lady Melissa was kind of left out, at least this way, she wouldn't be humiliated nor embarrassed in front of everyone.

That was until one of the ladies decided to strike up a conversation with her.

"Hi! You look amazing!"

One of the Ladies said, cheerfully complimenting Lady Melissa on her appearance and the beautiful dress.

"Thank you, and you look splendid as well…."

Lady Melissa stopped her sentence, realizing she didn't know the ladies name, so she looked at the lady for a few seconds before the Lady had finally understood what Lady Melissa was trying to do.

"Lady Jean. No last name."

"Nice to meet you, Lady Jean. My name is Lady Melissa."

Lady Melissa took her hand out, offering for Lady Jean to shook it.

Which Lady Jean gratefully accepted, shaking Lady Melissa's hand.

After a few minutes of conversing, Lady Melissa didn't mind much of Lady Jean's company, and she wasn't as annoying as the other ladies.

"And I wanted to make sure the deal was legit, so I did a background check on the guy."

Just as Lady Jean was about to continue the conversation, Lady Celine came to the both of them, pouring tea to both of their cups.

"Thank you."

Lady Jean and Lady Melissa both said at the same time.

"No problem."

Lady Celine replied, and there was a comfortable silence surrounding the three of them.

After a few minutes, however, Lady Celine went back to the other ladies. After all, Lady Jean and Lady Melissa weren't her only guests.

"Want to come to hang out in the Jean estate sometime Lady Melissa? I don't mind."

"Sure, I'd be excited too!"

Lady Melissa happily responded.

Just as Lady Melissa was about to talk to Lady Jean about something else, she was stopped by Lady Celine's voice.

"Thank you so much for attending today's tea party, ladies, unfortunately, though I must get going. Thank you for attending once more!"

Lady Celine cheerfully said, clapping her hands in joy.

"Thank you for having us, goodbye Lady Celine."

One of the ladies said before abruptly leaving the tea party.

Soon the other ladies followed one by one, thanking Lady Celine for having them before leaving the tea party.

Until it was just Lady Jean, Lady Celine, and Lady Melissa left alone.

"We'll see each other next time since I'll invite you to the Jean estate."

Lady Jean said.

"Of course, I'll be waiting for your invitation letter."

The two of them shared a handshake.

"And thank you for having me, Lady Celine."

Lady Jean said.

"Thank you for having me as well, Lady Celine."

Lady Melissa soon followed.

Lady Jean and Lady Melissa and Lady Celine parted ways, more like it was only Lady Jean though.

Lady Jean had went into the right direction, while Lady Celine and Lady Melissa took the left direction ( the shortcut to the Mendora estate.)

"Oh we're heading the same way."

Lady Celine said to Lady Melissa.

"Hahah yeah, I have to get my maid remember Lady Celine?"

Lady Melissa akwardly laughed, she didn't know exactly what to say.

"Oh yeah!"

Lady Celine put her hands together as if finally figuring out something.

"I completely forgot about it."

Lady Celine said.

"Me as well, Lady Celine but I got remembered when I realized my maid wasn't there."

Lady Melissa said.
