Garrett stepped back in disgust and wiped his shoulder where Jocelyn had just touched him.
Moments later, the waiter returned with a clothing bag.
Inside was an opulent evening dress from a luxury brand.
Three men followed him with a makeup kit and jewelry to match the dress.
"Mr. Harding, here is the evening dress."
Jocelyn's eyes lit up. The dress and the jewelry looked expensive.
"Thank you." She pretended to remain calm and walked toward the man carrying the dress. Just as she reached out to take the dress, the staff unexpectedly walked past her.
"Miss, could you please get out of our way?" Jocelyn's eyes widened as she involuntarily stepped back.
The staff smiled and handed the evening dress to Janet.
Jocelyn's face flushed with embarrassment.
'What the hell is going on? I thought it was for me. Why are they giving it to Janet? Janet has ruined my dress, but they get a new one for her? This is just ridiculous!'
"Thank you, but please take it back. This dress is too expensive. I'll just go home and get changed," Jane said, nervously looking at the dress. It looked beautiful, but she couldn't accept it because it was too expensive.
"Mr. Larson has asked us to take care of you and make sure nothing bad happens to you at the dinner party. You can't wear your dress now. We had prepared some extra dresses in case of emergencies, and this is one of them. You can borrow it tonight. After all, it's a matter of our company's reputation." Garrett smiled calmly even though his heart was racing in his chest.
He knew that Ethan would punish him if Janet didn't take the dress.
After a moment's hesitation, Janet finally took the dress.
"Miss, this way, please."
