As for her, she didn't look as good standing next to Evelyn.
Evelyn affirmed once more, "You look prettier than me in that." Then she turned her head and asked the shop assistant, "Don't you think so?"
After hearing Evelyn's question, the shop assistant smiled awkwardly and wasn't sure what to say. In terms of appearance or figure, the second lady isn't as good as the first. This is, of course, assuming they are to be compared. While this second lady is also very beautiful, the style and color of this dress don't really suit her. Not only does she not look as good as the first lady who wore it earlier, but she also gives off a strange vibe. Even though I wish to sell as many clothes as I could, if I were to give a fake compliment, I'm afraid she wouldn't believe me either.
When Vivian looked at the shop assistant, who only smiled awkwardly and did not answer Evelyn's question, she immediately understood her meaning and blushed.
Even though Vivian was wearing the same clothes as Evelyn, when she looked into the fitting mirror, she was completely overshadowed by Evelyn, which made her look inferior to Evelyn in every way.
"Hey, I'm asking you, why aren't you saying anything?" It appeared as if Evelyn was complaining to the shop assistant, but actually she was giving her thumbs up from within. Although the shop assistant was startled earlier, she now understood that her silence was more appreciated.
Once Vivian saw Evelyn's smug face, she understood why she had to try the dress on herself. Evelyn just wanted her to make a fool of
herself.
"I do not like this dress, so I am going to change." After saying that, Vivian did not even look at Evelyn and went directly into the dressing room.
After Vivian changed into her own clothes, she felt anger rising from within as she looked at the blue dress. What's the point of making fun of me? This isn't funny at all!
However, Vivian's anger morphed into aggravation and low self-esteem when she recalled standing beside Evelyn in the same clothes previously.
Did Evelyn do this to make herself realize the differences between them? If that was the case, Vivian had to admit that she had succeeded in doing so as she felt in her heart that it was impossible to be better than Evelyn.
