HappyNovelChapter 0115 Chapter 0115 Judy's POV "He didn't inviteto the Gala, Irene," I told her, my brows furrowed.
She grinned even wider.
"Oh, but he will," she told me. "Trust me. He just asked my father for an invitation for you.
My chest tightened at her words.
+25 BONUS "He asked Gavin?" I asked, but then remembering who was present, I cleared my throat and tried again. "He asked your father?" She nodded.

Of course, I would be stuck being around Ethan for the entire night. It didn't seem like there was a way forto get out of this and my stomach started to twist and turn uncomfortably. This also meant that Gavin would most likely be there too, so on top of being around Ethan and Walter all night, I would also have to be around Gavin. Could things get any more awkward? "I don't really do Galas, Irene," I told her, biting my lower lip. "I've never done this kind of thing before." "It's so fun. You are going to love it. Plus, it's not like you are going alone. I'm going to be there!" she assured me.
Despite her excited and positive attitude, I wasn't so sure. I leaned back in the seat and let her drive us the rest of the way into the city. She parked outside of a high-class boutique and instead of waiting in the car, Gamma Derek and Beta Taylor walked into the store with us while the Gammas from the other car took positions outside. Gavin was not messing around this time; not that I could blhim. His daughter almost gets killed by rogues. I was honestly glad to have the extra protection even though I knew they were only here for Irene and not because of me.
"Miss Landry, lovely to see you again," the store clerk said as we entered the store. She was a young woman with curly red hair and dazzling green eyes. "Are you shopping for the Gala this weekend?" "Hello, Stacy," Irene greeted. "Yes, I am. This is my friend, Judy. She'll be going to the Gala as well as my cousin's date." Her eyes lit up at her words.
"Walter is in town?" "Yes," Irene said simply. "Would be able to help her find the perfect ball gown?" "Of course!" Stacy said excitedly. "We just got a couple of new dresses this morning, One of which, I think you will truly like." Chapter 0115 +25 BONUS She walked over to a rack of dresses that were behind the cashier's counter and pulled out the most beautiful silver dress I had ever seen.
"Are those real diamonds?" Irene asked, admiring the dress fondly.
"Of course they are," Stacy said with a bright smile. "This is an original Ella Venuti. There's only one in the world like this. When I say it's new, it's brand spanking new." Irene's eyes lit up as she stepped closer to examine the stitching on the gown.
"Ella Venuti is always flawless with her designs. This is impressive. The diamonds make for a beautiful touch and the fabric is lightweight. It would be perfect for the Gala," she breathed.
"It's also the most expensive in the store," Stacy warned.
"Price has never been an issue," she said thoughtfully She glanced at the price without flinching and then she looked at the size with a frown.
"It's a little big forthough," she said. "I wouldn't want to adjust the size unless Ella would be able to do it herself."
"I hear that Ella Venuti will be at the Gala this weekend. But she won't be flying in until Friday evening, Stady said with a frown. "She's booked up for the week, so I don't think she'll be able to make any adjustments on it. But we have great designers here as you know. They could-" The content.

"It looks like it could fit you though. How about you try it on and see?" She suggested.
I gawked at her in shock. She wantedto try on this expensive one-of-a-kind dress? Was she out of her mind?? "I... uh... I don't think so," I stammered.
"This dress needs to be seen at the Gala, Judy," Irene told me. "Please, try it on." I sighed and I eventually relented.
