Neera raised her eyebrows when she heard that, though she quickly understood that Jean wanted to make an impression at his first appearance at Star Entertainment's annual gala.
After chatting for a while more, Neera went to get changed.
She had to admit that Fabio had a keen eye. Not only was the gown a perfect fit, but it also accentuated her body curves.
The embroidered fiery phoenix led one's gaze to her slender waist, which made her even more attractive than ever.
Nettie tied Neera's hair into a bun and fastened it with a silver hairpin. The hairstyle was simple, but it made her look classical.
"Ah! You look amazing! I can't imagine how much more beautiful you'd be when you put on makeup!" Nettie exclaimed.
Neera smiled. "That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"
"It's no exaggeration at all!" Nettie said while leading her to the full-body mirror. "See for yourself if you don't believe me. No one can wear this gown like you do! You're the most beautiful woman in Kingsview!"
Neera looked at herself in the mirror and thought that there was some truth to Nettie's words. No other gown had that effect on her.
"What do you think? I wasn't exaggerating, right?" Nettie asked with a smile.
Neera replied, "I'd be a narcissist if I said yes. Instead, I should say that Mr. Lopez is an amazing designer."
Nettie was already holding her hand and leading her out of the room. "Let's go downstairs and show Mr. Lopez and Mr. Beauvort!"
Neera wanted to say no, but by the time she came to her senses, she was already downstairs.
At the same time, Jean came out of his room in his new suit.
They were shocked to see each other, especially Neera.
Even though she was already used to seeing Jean's handsome face, seeing him in a formal suit nevertheless took her breath away.
Jean was dressed in a dress coat and a white dress shirt with emerald cufflinks, which gave him the air of a noble.
At that moment, he was standing on the staircase looking downward. Neera thought he looked like a lord surveying his domain.
She quickly turned her head away, unwilling to fall further for his charms.
Jean did not notice the change in her expression. He continued to look at her.
As Nettie said, the gown was perfect on Neera's body. As much as Jean tried to remain calm, he could not help but be impressed.
"The gown looks great on you," he said.
Fabio was the most excited among them.
He circled around the couple as though he had just found some rare treasure. "Not bad at all! Looks like all the time I've spent on designing this couple's outfit isn't wasted!"
Couple outfit? Neera was surprised to hear that. She looked at Jean again and realized their outfits shared many details.
Nettie continued to explain, "It's not just the clothes, Ms. Garcia. Your brooch and Mr. Beauvort's cufflinks make a pair too. Everyone will be able to instantly tell you're husband and wife! By the way, Fabio calls this design 'Match Made In Heaven'!"
