"Are you r-really going to let me turn around, Gloria?" James still asked for Gloria's opinion.
"Of course!" Gloria said firmly.
Only then did James turn around. The moment he saw Gloria, he was stunned. That kind of feeling at that moment was real. This woman was truly beautiful. It was very early in the morning, and Gloria was wearing a thick and slightly loosefitting shirt in sky blue that still accentuated her figure very well. She also put on a black suit jacket on top of the shirt. Under normal circumstances, women who were older would not dare to wear such a style because the color was too plain. However, Gloria deliberately did the opposite. Of course, what she wore was unable to conceal the fact that she was already 50. However, it was because she revealed her age so openly that it unintentionally gave her an additional confident and candid beauty that was unique to a 50-year-old woman.
Besides, she did not look old. Her skin was not saggy at all and the fairness of the complexion on her face was very natural. She did not have any spots on her face at all. On top of that, she even put on light makeup that day. She already had quite a number of white hairs, but she did not care at all. She just let her straight hair, which was both black and white in color, flow down her shoulders. That unexpectedly gave her an indescribable sense of dominance. It was as if that kind of dominance was saying that she had experienced many things and that was why she was domineering! It was also saying that she has indeed aged, so what? That kind of attitude was really not something any ordinary person could be in control of. That was particularly so when the bottom she was wearing was actually a pair of wide leg jeans.
That jeans might be taken as an ordinary pair of jeans if one did not pay close attention to them. However, James was also a man who had been dealing with women for a very long time, and he had seen plenty of women who were glamorously dressed. Therefore, he was able to tell at a glance that the type of jeans Gloria was wearing was very expensive. They were a pair of very stylish jeans. It had a top-notch effect of raising the bottom and making a person’s legs look great when one was wearing that. It was because of this pair of jeans that Gloria looked at least five years younger.
Gloria did not look that old, to begin with. She was a woman who was a little more than 50, but she looked like she was 45.
The black and blue top she was wearing that day was very plain and very mature, but she was also wearing a pair of youthful jeans. The way she dressed truly made her others feel like she was a mature woman who was about 38 years old on the outside.
The first impression this woman gave others when they first saw her was that she was not old. She was still a young woman. It was just that she had been through a lot, so her heart was already very calm and composed. She was very capable. At the same time, she also had that kind of casual attitude toward her appearance that was unique to an artist. She was wearing jeans, and she did not even care that she had white streaks in her black hair. She seemed so wilful, so confident, and did not
care about everything out there at all. She was too beautiful. She was so beautiful that James was stunned for a very long time. H e thought to himself that if Gloria was not Old Master Shaw's daughter, and if she was not a daughter of such an eminent and wealthy family like the Shaw family in her bones, who else could have such a temperament? Who else could? It was very likely that there would not be another person like her in this world.
"G-Gloria." James could not help but swallow.
Gloria smiled very generously and said," James, what do you think? Do you like it? I had purposely dressed up for you."
James was first stunned, and then he kept repeating himself, "I like it. I like it, Gloria. I ... I like it."
There was a sudden moment when he wanted to get away from everything. He wanted to get away from that gang and live the rest of his life with a woman like Gloria for then on.
