“Wee, Ms. Craw." A few of them surrounded Luca and greeted her passionately.


    Luca got even more confused, and she quickly told them why she was here. "Hello, Mr. Crawford sent


    me here. Did he buy something here?"


    After the manager knew that Luca was here, she quickly came forward. "Hello, Ms. Craw. Mr. Crawford


    didn''t buy anything here, but he has given us his orders. Pleasee with me."


    Luca looked at Nina. What was Luke up to?


    Nina held her hand and followed behind the shop manager. She said in a low voice, "Based on the


    situation now, they''re nning to ask you to buy something."


    "Ah, there''s nothing I''d like to buy," Luca replied in a soft voice. Why did Luke ask her toe here,


    then?


    The manager walked in front of them and listened to their conversation. She turned sideways and


    exined, "Ms. Craw, Mr. Crawford told us that you''ll be attending a party the day after tomorrow.


    Hence, we''ll be creating a perfect look for you to attend the party."


    "Party?" Luca frowned. She had never epted any party invitation.


    Nina was able to figure it out at once. She said, "She''s probably talking about Old Master Crawford''s


    birthday party. I heard that they''ve been preparing the birthday party for a long time. It''s going to be a


    grand one."


    "But I didn''t receive any invitation. Why am I attending the party?" Luca said. If it had not been for Luke


    who asked her toe here, she would doubt that the shop assistants might have mistaken her for


    someone else.


    "You didn''t? Aren''t e-invitations quite popr now? Check if they sent it to your email. You might have


    missed out on the e-invitation," Nina said thoughtfully. Luke must have invited Luca to the party if he


    made such arrangements.


    Luca shook her head helplessly. She read every email in her mailbox. She would never have missed it.


    The shop assistant smiled and said, "Yes. Since Mr. Crawford has made such arrangements, you must


    have received the invitation but you probably missed it."


    Luca shook her head helplessly. Nina touched her with her elbow and suggested, "Just go along with it


    since Luke arranged it."


    "Alright." Luca decided to listen to her.


    The shop assistant brought the two of them into a fitting room. She picked up the measuring tape and


    took Luca''s measurements. Then, she exined, “Ms. Craw, there''s not much time left, so we can''t


    customize a new gown for you. I''ll try my best to pick a gown and alter it to fit you. Is that fine?" "Yes."


    Luca had no opinion on this. She thought it would be fine as long as the clothes fit her. She may not


    attend Old Master Crawford''s birthday party even if Luke bought a gown for her.


    After all, she did not have the status.


    Nina nced around at the gowns, gave a tsk, and eximed, "As expected from the haute couture of


    a luxury brand. These gowns are beautiful."


    When Luca heard that she said, "Which do you like better? I''ll buy you one."


    "I can''t wear gowns to work. What''s the point of buying one for me?" Nina turned around and smiled.


    She blinked her eyes. She had worn these gowns before, but it was in the past.


    When she was together with Percy, even though she did not have a status, he would still bring her to


    various kinds of events.


    Getting luxurious gowns and pieces of jewelry was a must when she attended those events.


    Nina recalled the time when she lived the life people desired.


    Although she did not feel happy, she could live a splendid life because of that.


    Nina began to pick the gowns for her as the manager took Luca''s body measurements.


    After she took the measurements, she picked two gowns and put them in front of Luca. "These are the


    ones I picked for you. See if you like them."


    Luca looked at the simple but elegant gowns. They would match her if she were still the person she


    used to be. However, she had undergone stic surgery and looked more alluring now. She was afraid


    that she could not pull off such elegant gowns.


    "You look alluring, but you''re going to a birthday party, not a charity event. So, I think these two are


    more suitable for such asions among all these gowns," Nina exined.


    The shop manager agreed and nodded her head. She said, "The gowns don''t seem to suit Ms. Craw,


    but makeup can change a person''s aura. They''re good choices. Of course, the most important thing is


    to choose the gown you fancy, no matter what gown it is."


    Luca thought that she did not receive any invitation. Even though Luke had arranged this for her, she


    probably would not attend the party either. Hence, she just picked one of them.


    The manager nced at the size. She smiled and said, "The size of the gown is almost the same as


    Ms. Craw''s measurements. Please wait for a while. Let me alter it for you, then it''ll be perfect."


    When Luca saw that the manager was about to alter the gown, she immediately said, "You don''t have


    to..."


    Nina, who was standing beside her, disagreed with her. "This is not troublesome. A gown should fit


    your figure well. Just wait for a moment. We''re not in a rush anyway."


    Luca looked at her. She could not help but ask the question in her heart, "I thought you didn''t want to


    see me getting too close with Mr. Crawford?"


    "These things are unavoidable. Besides, it''s the old master''s birthday. It''s not Luke''s birthday, so it''s


    normal for him to invite you to the party," Nina exined. Then, she turned to look at the jewelry disy


    cases. She grabbed Luca''s hand and headed there. "Look, pick a set of jewelry. Match it with the gown


    so that you won''t look dull."


    Luca shook her head when she saw the prices of the jewelry.


    "Are you trying to save Luke''s money?" Nina teased her.


    Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Luca denied it instantly. "How''s that possible..."


    The shop assistant beside them heard their conversation and said, "Ms. Craw, pick one. Mr. Crawford


    ordered us to get you a set of jewelry apart from the gown."


    "See, I told you. Luke must have already thought about it," said Nina.


    Luca let out a sigh and randomly pointed at a set of jewelry. "Then I''ll take this."


    "You have good taste, Ms. Craw. Do you want to try them on now?" The shop assistant looked at the


    pearl jewelry. They did not show the price, but that did not mean the set was cheap. On the contrary,


    this set of pearl jewelry was the representative piece of the collection in the store.


    "There''s no need to. Just wrap them up for me," replied Luca.


    After picking the jewelry, they were still altering the gown. Luca and Nina were invited by the shop


    assistant to take a seat in their lounge.


    Luca exined quickly when she thought Nina would overthink things. "There''s a reason why the old


    master wants to invite me."


    "What''s the reason?" Nina asked curiously.


    Luca told her about the time she dined in Crawford Manor and how she found out that there was an


    unsuitable ingredient in the stew.


    Nina touched her arm and shivered after she heard what Luca said. "Based on what you told me, it


    seems like the Crawford family isn''t that peaceful after all."


    "And Ms. Tanner is going to be released soon. Things will get even more restless," said Luca. The


    Crawford family had yet to announce to the public that Allison Tanner was getting out of the prison.


    However, it would be all over the news on the day she got out of prison.
