His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 123

Melanie got ready, but she did not receive any calls from Frank. Melanie thought something was off about this, so she went straight to Frank's room to look for him. After ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one answered the door. Instead, she alerted a hotel server." Can I help you, miss?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Moreau. He is not answering. I'm worried that something might have happened to him." She said anxiously.

"Oh, Mr. Moreau left about half an hour ago." The server replied with a smile.

"He left?! No, that's impossible!" Melanie could not believe what she had heard. "We agreed to go together, but he hasn't called me yet. How could he..."

Suddenly, something came to her mind, and her heart began to race. 'Was it because I rejected Frank? No, that can't be. Didn’t he say he wouldn't force it if I didn't want to? He couldn't have stood me up because I rejected him!’

Of course, the organizing committee had invited Melanie to the event, but nothing could compare to her showing up with Frank. With that thought in mind, she hurriedly called Frank. However, he did not answer the call. Melanie finally accepted that Frank had stood her up as she stood at the room door. It was Frank's way of telling her that she would get nothing

if she rejected him.

Melanie gritted her teeth and noted that time was running out, so she could only call a cab to get to the venue.

"Don't tell me you're going to the event dressed like that." Jenny seemed dissatisfied as she looked at the modestly dressed Lily.

"Is there a problem?" Lily looked down at her dress. Even though her style was a little more straightforward, that was the current trend, was it not?

"Yes, that’s a big problem!" Jenny said as she shook her head disapprovingly, "We are representing the company. You look good, but what you're wearing is embarrassing for the company."

"What should I do then? Shall I change?” Lily did not bring many clothes. Thinking that the weather was not very cold and the event was only one day, she only brought light and casual clothing.

"I've seen the clothes you brought. Those won’t do! Well, you better wear mine.” Jenny said while she turned to get her clothes.

"Y-Yours?”

"Why not? Your clothes size should be similar to mine. Although my clothes are not new, I haven't worn them often. That's not a problem for you, right?" Jenny found a black off-shoulder long dress in her suitcase.

The dress was a bit long, but fortunately, Lily was tall enough to pull it off. Furthermore, the contrast between the black dress and her fair skin produced a strong visual impact. She looked dazzling in it.

"This... I-Is this appropriate?"

Ever since Lily got together with Nathaniel, she had not participated in such events in a long time, let alone dressing up like this. During that time, she was content with being ordinary and stable. She only wanted the simplest happiness. However, that proved to be complicated.

"What's inappropriate?” Jenny looked delighted as she twirled Lily around. "This dress suits you more. You can have it!" "N-No, I shouldn't."
