Chapter 25: Dress for the Angel and Dress for the Goddess
The classic, elegant, and beautiful wife of Lorenzo. The epitome of beauty in the world for the richest people. The Lily of the Serdaun. She symbolizes the healing and purity, innocence, tranquility of the family. And that she is a mother of three children. She still maintains her reputation and standing in society. She makes sure that no one will surpass her influence and beauty.
” Welcome to the boutique Mrs. Monteverde, We are glad to serve you and we will do our best to give you the best experience in our boutique ” The manager greeted Chantal that made Chantal smile softly. That makes the employee blush because of the gentle aura that Chantal shows to them.
They feel that an angel came to their boutique to give them blessing in their life.
” I’m looking forward to that” Chantal gently said, which makes the manager blush even if she is a girl.
” Ye-yes, Madam!” The manager immediately exclaimed as she move aside and gave way to Chantal and to her assistants.
” Wow, Mrs. Monteverde. You are really amazing as ever!”
” Your grace is totally beautiful”
” You are as great as ever!”
That is the comment of the woman who is following Chantal for today. They are called as her assistants for today. They are the wives of other rich businessmen. Who wants to suck from Chantal influence and power.
” We need to choose a beautiful dress for Mrs. Monteverde, She needs to be the most beautiful woman in their family dinner” One of the assistants said as the three of them giggled out of excitement.
” Actually, Mrs. Monteverde is the most beautiful amongst the Monteverde’s. She doesn’t need to choose the most pretty dress because she is a total beauty. We just need to search for a dress that can match her elegant and classy beauty.” They said it was a good expression from Chantal.
Chantal just ignored what her assistants said today because she knows that they just want to get her favor. They are experts in creating sweet talks and flattering her. To give them a favor at the end.
” Mrs. Monteverde, Please wait in the lounge, while I’m getting the catalogue ” The manager politely said while bowing her head in front of Chantal.
” You should prepare it earlier, Right ladies?” Chantal said with a soft voice and a smile. That makes her good even if she has a different meaning in her words.
Her assistants immediately nodded their heads and agreed to what Chantal said.
” Yes, You should prepare it”
” We are VIP”
” The service is the worst”
All of the assistants comment that makes the manager feel frustrated. ” S-sorry, Madame. It’s my fault!” The manager stuttered as she knelt down and bowed deeper in front of Chantal.
The manager was afraid of Chantal because she is an angel. Her influence is so strong that can shut down any business she wants. If she doesn’t like it. And she will be in big trouble if Chantal gives a bad comment to their boutique.
A glimpse of a satisfactory smile forms in the lips of Chantal. Because her satisfaction is seeing people bowing down in front of her as if they are ready to lick her feet. Just to get her favor and approval in anything.
” Okay, I forgive you and the lack of your service ” Chantal answered as she walk towards the lounge of the boutique and sat down on one of the sofas.
” Make it faster ” Chantal said as she showed her angelic smile towards the manager.
” Y-yes, Mrs. M-monteverde!” The Manager immediately said as she stood up and ran to get the catalogue for Chantal.
Chantal and her assistants just giggled because the manager looked towards them. Terrified in front of them.
” What a pity!” One of the assistants said, which made all of the assistants giggle.
” Ladies, Ladies. We should not make fun of her. She still has some work to do for me” Chantal said. She looks like she is caring towards the manager. Actually, her words have a double meaning. She just wants to say it loudly to get the attention of the other ladies in the lounge and the staff. To spread good rumours for her and bad rumours for her assistants.
After a few seconds of waiting the manager came to them while panting. As she gently put down the catalogue in front of chantal.
” Here’s the catalogue Madame” The manager said as she gave a big bow to Chantal.
” Thank you! You can go now” Chantal gently said as she picked the catalogue and opened it.
” Wow, Mrs. Monteverde, All of them are so beautiful. But you are still most beautiful, It’s hard to find a dress that will match your beauty”
Chantal just chuckled because of the comment of one of her assistants as she flipped through the pages of the catalogue.
” By the way, Mrs. Monteverde. In the family dinner you will meet the wife of Xander right? The cousin of your husband?”
Chantal suddenly stopped from flipping the pages when she heard the name of Xander.
” Yes, We will meet her for dinner,” Chantal answered.
” I can’t believe that he is married? I thought he would be forever single. You are his first love right, Mrs. Monteverde?”
” Yes, That was a well-known incident before. He confess to you but you reject him because he is not worth it”
” But I’m curious, Who is that woman he married? Where did she family come from?”
GISELLE is sitting not far away from where Chantal and her assistant are seated. Giselle is here in the boutique to choose a dress that she will wear in the Family dinner. Rolando is the one who made a reservation to this exclusive boutique. She didn’t expect that the day she would choose a dress was the day she would meet the wife of one of the cousins of Xander.
And she admits that the woman is beautiful like an angel. And she has a warm aura that can make hearts feel warm every time she is around.
” Well, Ladies. Xander didn’t give any information about that. Maybe he wants to surprise us at the family dinner. After all, the announcement of the participants will be announced at the family dinner” Chantal answered.
Even the voice of Chantal is soft and calm. She is truly like Maria Clara. A demure woman and an elegant one.
” I’m sure that Mrs. Monteverde, Will be the most beautiful in the family dinner. No one can match your beauty. Maybe, Xander will fall in love to you and realize the woman she married is nothing to your beauty. Gosh, I bet his standard became low for choosing that woman to be her wife.”
” Yes, Maybe the reason why she didn’t introduce her wife to the family first because he is shy for her wife appearance and characteristics ”
Giselle just laughs softly as she glances at Chantal who has started to flip her catalogue.
“It’s hard to judge someone, When you still haven’t met or seen her, ladies” Chantal answered as a sly smile forms on her lips.
” But being part of Monteverde, Will be really hard for her” Chantal muttered, which made the assistants laugh so hard that it echoed in the whole lounge.
Giselle just chuckled at what she heard as she raised her hand on one of the employees of the boutique.
” I circle what I want and I already take notes of all the changes that I want. ” Giselle breathely said that it makes the male employee feel hot all over his body.
” Y-yes, Mam!” The male employee said as he stood up straight and saluted Giselle that made the other customer look at male employee.
” Okay, do your work better. I’m counting on you” She seductively said that the bulge between the legs of male employee scratches the pants.
Giselle just giggled as she leaned on the sofa and watched the Male employee. Running out of panic.
CHANTAL notices the male employee who is running away from the lounge. She looked at the way where the male employee came from and then she saw a woman sitting on the sofa. But she couldn’t see the face of the woman because of the flower that was covering her face.
She suddenly got curious about the face of that woman. She is curious why the male employee ran out of panic. Is the woman ugly? Or beautiful enough to make the male employee startled in her own charm.
” Who is at the other table?” Chantal asks her assistant to follow where she is looking at.
” I cannot see her face. The flower on the table is so huge”
” Yeah, I think we should go there to see her face”
Chantal just smiles and looks away. ” It’s okay, it’s not necessary. ” Chantal softly said as she raised her hand to call the manager. The manager immediately ran towards Chantal as she bowed her head to greet her.
” Hello Mrs. Monteverde, What can I help you with?” The manager asked out of fear.
” I want this dress, And same as usual” Chantal said as she showed a sweet smile.
” O-okay, Mrs. Monteverde ” The manager answered and immediately put a mark in the catalogue before she could carry it.
” By the way, who is that woman at the other table? Sitting on the rose gold sofa?” Chantal asks. The manager looks at the sofa that Chantal is referring to.
” Sorry, Mrs. Monteverde but I think the customer that you’re referring to is gone now” The manager politely answered.
Chantal turns around to look at the table where she sees the woman.
” How unfortunate ”
Chantal really wants to see the face of Giselle. She really wants to see her out of curiosity. But it’s just a shame that she didn’t see the face.
” Mrs. Monteverde, Is there something wrong?” One of the assistants asked. Chantal looks at the assistants and smiles.
” Nothing, It’s just a curiosity “
