Chapter 105: Ch 105: The prep for the Party - Part 2

Clair dragged Anabella into the shop, where Noah was waiting for them. He was already checking out fabrics and other items that would suit the three of them.

From what Anabella could see, he had already picked out an outfit for himself and Clair, but the search for her clothes was still ongoing.

"Noah, we are here. Did you pick out something nice for us?"

Clair asked as she approached her boyfriend and gave him a small but affectionate pat. Her actions made Noah frown, but he kept quiet and decided to look over his options again.

"I have not found anything that might match Bella yet. It is much easier for you and me to shop for these clothes, but none will match Bella and her beauty. Shall we try another boutique?"

Noah asked in a tense voice as he put the clothes down. The more he spoke, the more the manager behind him seemed to panic. He also dared to flare at Anabella since she appeared to be the person Noah was talking about,

Being the center of this hostility was not strange for Annabelle. She was used to it, and she did not even flinch when she was given that look.

However, Clair did not react the same way. Clair noticed what was happening, and the female bit her lip before she decided to show her anger.

"Manager, is there anything wrong? You have been glaring at Anabella for some time now. I am sure it is not because my Bella offended you or something. It would be a disaster if I also had to take care of you."

Clair spoke softly but was harsh enough to send chills down anyone’s spine.

The manager, who heard her talk like this, suddenly looked spooked. He quickly looked away because he did not want to attract any more attention. He was afraid that having Clair’s eyes on him would make him feel like he was dying.

"I-I...that is not the case at all, Miss Clair. Your companions’ beauty just mesmerized me a little. And about the dress, would you like to see some more? Maybe you can choose if you see more options available to you?"

The manager asked as he moved around the shop to gather more boxes. He brought out about a dozen dresses more, and Anabella noticed the pile of rejected dresses getting bigger and bigger by the second.

She was about to walk away and sit down when Noah finally picked up a dress and gave it to her.

"Here, try this one out. I feel this will fit nicely with our outfits and look beautiful on you, Bella. You change while I try and scout out more dresses."

Noah did not even look at Anabella when he handed her the dress. He was lost in the fabrics of other dresses and their sewing.

Despite his huge stature and muscular body, Noah was a fashion expert and also kept up with trends, making sure to wear fashionable clothes to every event. He also had a sequel to pull off most of his looks.

Anabella did not have the same expectations for herself, but she knew better than to argue with the alpha when he behaved that way.

"Do you want me to come in with you and help you? I have a feeling you might need my help with this."

Clair offered, and Anabella felt her face turn red. She quickly looked away to hide how bothered she was by this offer.

She would like nothing more than to have Clair help her, but she also knew herself quite well.

Having Clair with her in the changing room would be a disaster. So, Anabella decided to deny this request.

"No need! I will be able to take care of this on my own. You should try out your dress as well. You will need the dress to fit you as well, right?"

Anabella asked before she snatched the dress and quickly got changed.

It was...surprisingly tough to put that dress on. It had too many straps that made it complicated to work around, but Anabella somehow managed to put it on and check the dress out.

The dress was nice, but it looked too glamorous for her liking. It almost felt like this was not her reflection she was looking at but someone else entirely. She did not think it suited her, but she was willing to wear it.

Walking out of the dressing room felt awkward. Anabella could tell that everyone was looking at her, but her main focus turned to the designer, who looked pissed to have a no-name person wear her dress.

Anabella was sure that she would have been rejected for even glancing at this dress alone. But because she was with Clair and Noah, the designer had no choice but to allow her to wear it.

"Ugh, I don’t like this strap. It feels annoying, and it keeps irritating me. Should I just throw this dress away and never wear it again? I am sure that it would be much better for me..."

Clair complained as she came out, too. Her dress fit her perfectly, showing off her strong shoulders and lovely back.

Seeing her standing beside Noah reminded everyone what a good pair they made.

The more Anabella saw this, the more she felt she did not fit the pair. It made her want to head back and not try this dress anymore.

Unfortunately, she was already out, and people had seen her. She could no longer hide from them and could only let out a strained laugh at her presence.

"Uhm, how do I look? Do you think this dress fits me fine? I feel like this is not for me."

Anabella asked in a low voice, but the twin look she was getting told her otherwise. Being the center of such looks made Anabella blush, but it also embarrassed the designer until he could no longer hold back and speak up.
