Over the past few months, Shelia had immersed herself in the world of fashion, thanks to her time with the ir family. She now had a decent grasp of fabrics, styles, and trends. When the staff member handed the chosen fabric to the manager, thetter asked, "What style did Mr. ir choose?"


    The staff member replied, "She hasn''t chosen a style yet, but we''re about to show her some options."


    Debra nced at the satin and said to the manager, "Didn''t she say she liked the dress I''m wearing? Just show her my style."This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    The manager hesitated. "But the gown you''re wearing is a fishtail design. If we use the stiff silk satin she chose, it might not work well."


    Debra''s gown was made from soft chiffon, which flowed beautifully and entuated the fishtail shape. Shelia''s satin, on the other hand, was stiff and not suited for such a delicate design. "Well, that''s what she requested," Debra said. "Maybe we think it won''t look good, but who knows? She might think otherwise. Besides, the customer''s always right, isn''t that so?"


    The manager immediately caught on to Debra''s meaning and whispered instructions to the staff. They brought over a selection of dresses, showcasing several popr styles. Right in the center was the fishtail gown, identical to the one Debra wore. Shelia''s eyes lit up as soon as she spotted it.


    "Is this the same as the one she''s wearing?"


    "Yes, though this design isplex, and the price reflects that."


    Knowing she could have the same dress as Debra but hers would be made from more expensive materials, Shelia was more than pleased. She turned to Melody for approval. "Grandma, do you like this one?"


    "If you''ve set your mind on it, that''s fine. But remember, you represent the Nichols family. We can''t afford to look bad."


    ir, do you have any other


    The staff member chimed in, "Ms.


    vel


    requests? If not, I''ll have the


    designer draw up the ns for you to review."


    "The sample dress will have diamonds embedded, right?"


    "Yes, but..."


    "Then I want diamonds on mine as well. Money is not an issue."


    She handed over the design to the staff member, who was thrilled tond such a big order.


    She eagerly took note of Shelia''s demands and told the manager.


    Debra listened quietly, but Erica wasn''t so cool. "Shelia has overstepped the mark. She''s trying to one-up us. I''m calling Caleb to make sure our dresses are better."


    As Erica reached for her phone, Debra quickly stopped her with a wink.


    While Erica was confused, Debra turned to the manager. "Go ahead and finish the gown. I''m satisfied withat. It''s time for me to leave."


    The manager escorted them out.


    Shelia cast a triumphant nce in Debra''s direction, as if dering her victory.


    Debra ignored her provocation, knowing Shelia wouldn''t be smiling by the time the engagement party rolled around.
