I glanced down at the dress shyly.
"You don't think it's too much?" I asked her.
"Oh, goddess no!" she said, waving off my concern. "Not for the Gala. Con, you must show Irene." She opened the dressing room door, and I stepped out into the light. Irene stood by a rack of new dresses but when she heardstep out of the changing room she turned to look at me. Her eyes grew large, and her mouth fell open at the sight of me.
"Wow!" She breathed. "You look amazing." There was a flash of something in her eyes that I couldn't quite understand but it was gone in a heartbeat. It almost looked like jealousy, I quickly brushed that thought out of my head; Irene was drop-dead gorgeous; there was no way she was jealous of me.
"We definitely have to get you that dress. Walter is going to lose his mind," Irene breathed. "Now, I'm going to find my own dress. I'll cfind you when I'm done." She took off a moment later. I turned to the standing mirror beside me, and I was taken aback by how beautiful the dress looked on me. I was honestly stunning, which was something I never thought I would say about myself.

I turned away and started to walk towards the dressing room when I walked straight into somebody.
"Ew, watch where you are going," I heard a familiar voice saying in a scowl.
I looked up only to see Daisy glaring down atwith her arms folded across her chest. She lip curled in disgust as she tookin and her eyes narrowed. I've only encountered Daisy once and it wasn't pleasant. It was when I went to dinner with Gavin to discuss my contract while working for him.
Her gaze shifted to the dress I was wearing, and she took a step back to examine it, and then a smile spread across her lips.
"That dress is perfect. I'll take it," she said, motioning for Stacy.
Stacy raised her brows and then looked atbefore looking back at her.
"Sorry Miss Baldwin, but I'm afraid this dress has already been taken,” Stacy said, a bit awkwardly.
Daisy lifted her lip up into a curl as she glared at Stacy.
"I'm Daisy Baldin, the heiress of the Baldwin Estate. I get everything that I want and what I want is that dress,” she snarled. "I could literally ruin you." Stacy looked nervous as she bit her lower lip. She wasn't sure what to say, so I decided to intervene. instead.

"Like you could afford a dress like this,” she said, folding her arms across her chest. “Don't makelaugh. I'll pay you to take it off," she continued as she reached into her pocket to grab her checkbook. She grabbed a pen as well and glanced back at me. "How much? A thousand dollars?" When I didn't say anything, and just kept staring blankly at her, trying to figure out where she got this type of audacity, she scoffed. "Fine, how about 5 thousand dollars?" "I'm not going to give you this dress," I told her through my teeth.
Her eyes turned into slits.
"This dress deserves to be worn by someone with class. You certainly have none," she hissed. Her eyes pinched together as she scanned my face. "Do I know you from somewhere? Why do you look so familiar?" I opened my mouth to reply, but then realization flashed through her eyes.

"Oh right; you're the whore that won't leave Gavin alone," she laughed, shaking her head. 'I hope you aren't going to this Gala in hopes of winning him over. Newsflash, you are just a one-night stand. You meant nothing to him. He hasn't had a serious relationship with my sister, but I'm planning on changing that at the Gala."
My heart sank from her words. I shouldn't have let that bother me, but I couldn't help it. "Get out of that dress, now," Daisy demanded.
"Aunt Daisy?" Irene said, stepping beside me.
Daisy's eyes flickered to Irene and her face paled.
