Chapter 595 You Look Gorgeous
"Well, Alfred's in Iceland now, and your best friend is by his side. Since he's busy, he asked me to help him with
something. However, I think he has crossed the line. After all, we're not close friends."
Shawn had never regarded Sir as his friend. I rested my head against the couch and looked at the man, who was
still working. "What does he want you to help him with?"
"He wants me to prepare 90,000 roses and send them to Iceland."
"Whoa! Is he going to give May a surprise?"
I got to my feet excitedly. Shawn shot me a look and asked unenthusiastically, "Why are you so excited?"
I smiled meekly. "I'm just happy for her."
With a smile, Shawn pocketed his gaze and continued with work. At 4.00PM, he suddenly asked me, "Are you tired?"
I shook my head. "No. I want to go to the shopping mall later and buy some clothes. What I'm wearing is too plain."
"You love wearing bright clothes recently."
Hearing that, I was elated. "You notice what I've been wearing?"
Shawn subconsciously frowned. "Isn't that normal?"
"I thought you never paid attention to such matters…"
Although Shawn never said it, I knew he cared about everything I did.
"Alright. I'll go to the mall with you."
He agreed to go shopping with me.
At 5.00PM, Emma entered the office and passed me a lollipop before asking, "Why don't we have dinner at your
home in the evening?"
I turned to look at Shawn. "What will we have for dinner?"
"I'm fine with anything. Since we're going to have dinner at your home, both of us won't cook. Otherwise, what's the
point of having those men there? I believe Diego and Ian will be going, and I'll invite Serene as well. I can tell that
Ian is concerned about her. When she returned yesterday, Ian had been listless the entire day. I wonder what has
happened between them. Love is complicated, isn't it?" Emma started talking about gossip in front of Shawn. She

I asked her, "Who will cook, then?"
"I don't know. Diego is a proactive person, so I think he'll cook. As for Ian… forget it. I'll ask them in the group chat
later. I guess we'll just let the men cook." After a pause, she put on a mysterious smile. "My husband will be there as
well."
I finally realized Emma only wanted to have dinner with us because she was worried Christopher would be bored.
Since Shawn didn't reject the idea, I said to her, "Alright. You'll contact them. See you in the villa."
After she was gone, Shawn asked me, "Aren't we supposed to be going on a date?"
While licking the lollipop, I asked, "Huh?"
While licking the lollipop, I asked, "Huh?"
"You said you wanted a date with me." He reminded me.
I couldn't believe that I had forgotten about my own words! With a dejected expression, I replied, "I promised
Emma, though."
The man said calmly, "It's up to you."
He then continued with work. When I finished the lollipop, I asked Emma in the group chat, 'Do you have more? It's
delicious. I'll get some from you later.'
'No more. It was given by a colleague.'
Then, she tagged Diego and Ian. 'Renee told us to go to her house and have dinner later. However, the men will
cook this time.'
Emma was the one who came up with the request, but she lied to them and claimed that it was my idea.
Diego replied, 'I'd been busy the entire night.'
'Come on. You can do it.'
Diego then said frankly, 'Sure. Anything you say.'
The conversation was supposed to end there, but Ian suddenly started causing trouble. 'Diego will obey whatever
you say, Emma. I remember that when he wanted to make you happy back then, he bought all the flowers from
every florist shop in Espoo and laid them down on the snow for you. That was so romantic. I couldn't have done
that.'
Ian was trying to embarrass Emma and Diego when Christopher was also in the group.
Suddenly, Emma added someone to the group.
A furious Diego snapped. 'Stop spouting nonsense!'
Ian didn't pay attention to whom Emma added and continued saying teasingly, 'I'm just telling the truth. You've
always been concerned about Emma, and you've also complimented my wife!'
I guessed Ian wanted to get his revenge after hearing what I said that afternoon. He was trying to provoke Diego
and Christopher.
Suddenly, Emma took a screenshot of his words and posted it to the group. 'Does Mrs. Zeller know you're so
childish? Do you want me to tell her you're making a scene here, Ian?'
After a moment of silence, Ian said, 'I didn't make anything up. It's the truth.'
The person added by Emma changed her ID to Serene and sent an ellipsis.
Ian did the same and asked, 'Why are you in this group?'
I couldn't believe that he wasn't aware of Serene joining the group. Had he never added Serene to his contact list
on WhatsApp?
Instead of responding to him, Serene directly left the group. Diego seized the chance and mocked him. 'Even your
wife doesn't want to waste time on you!'
To add insult to injury, he went on to say, 'You've been married for two years, but you've never added her to your
contact list. You're such a good husband, huh?'
Ian refuted, 'It's none of your business.'
Everyone fell silent all of a sudden. Helplessly, I kept my phone. Shawn took a look at his wristwatch and shut the
document before rising from his chair. "Let's go."
I got to my feet and asked, "Where are we going?"
In my stilettos, I went over and wrapped my arm around his. He lifted his hand and ruffled my hair gently, making
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsure that he wouldn't mess up my hairstyle. On the other hand, Kevin would always turn my hair into a mess
whenever he did that. It was hard to manage my long hair, so I was worried whenever he tried to ruffle my hair.
"You said you wanted to buy clothes," he said.
"Yeah. Are you done with work?"
Without answering my question, Shawn took my hand and left the office with me. Whenever we came across
anyone while leaving the company, they would greet us politely. Shawn wouldn't stop in his tracks to respond to
them. He had always been cold and aloof, so his employees were already used to it.
Soon, we arrived at a nearby mall where there were lots of boutiques. I chose a long dress that would expose my
back. The dress was fitting and beautiful, and it was dark purple, which was a color I loved. I used to love wearing
dresses of this style. Then, I told the personal shopper to get me the dress, but Shawn stopped her from doing that.
"Take that dress over there for me."
He pointed at a long silver dress.
The dress looked similar to the one I was interested in, but there was a layer of lace on the back. Other than being
more modest, the dress wasn't very different from the dark purple one.
When I realized the man's intention, I didn't turn him down. With a smile, I entered the fitting room and changed
into the silver lace dress.
Upon leaving the room, I saw Shawn bending his back and choosing stilettos for me. I asked from behind him, "How
do I look, Shawn?"
The man turned around and replied lovingly, "You look gorgeous."
He loved complimenting me and boosting my confidence.
"We'll buy it, then?"
After Shawn picked out a pair of stilettos for me, he paid for both items.
I was moved that he was willing to buy things for me. After putting on the stilettos, I asked, "Are we going home?"
He took a look at his wristwatch. "It's still early."
"Where are we going, then?" I asked.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go on a date?"
