Skyton Corporation was a big company with a large number of employees. Coralie Chariott thought that there would be many people, and no one would notice her at all. Then, she could hide in the corner and eat.
Therefore, she just planned to wear an ordinary dress for the annual banquet.
In the morning, Coralie had a good sleep. She wandered around at home and studied the foreign language she was trying to master. She intended to go directly to the venue in the afternoon.
Lorraine's words had triggered her the last time, so she wanted to adopt the learning attitude she had in the past.
At this time, Felicia called. "Coralie, what are you wearing this evening?"
"I'll wear something simple. Since I'm not performing, why do I need to dress up so nicely?"
Coralie said while reading.
"How can you do that? Everyone will wear gowns. How can you wear a simple dress?"
"I'm planning to eat at a corner. I don't want to stand out."
In fact, she was joking, but as a newbie, it was one of her principles to keep a low profile.
"Everyone else is wearing gowns, and they are dressed beautifully. You will stand out if you wear a simple dress!" Felicia said and she quickly added, "Come to the gate. I'll take you to a shop where you can rent a gown. They will take care of your makeup as well. Everyone's dresses are basically rented there."
If Felicia didn't say this, Coralie was determined to have a rest at home for the whole morning today. But after she said that, Coralie thought that she was being reasonable.
After hesitating for a while, she agreed. "Okay, I'll go out now."
......
Felicia took Coralie to a boutique next to the company. This boutique was considered large.
They went to the shop quite early, but the shop was already crowded with people.
"Hello, may I ask if you are from Skyton Corporation? Are you here to choose a gown?"
On that day, it was likely that Skyton Corporation was the only company having their annual banquet. The shop assistant automatically assumed that anyone who came in was from Skyton Corporation.
"Yes, yes!"
Felicia quickly said.
However, when the assistant took them to the cabinet with the gowns that were not rented out yet, both of them were dumbfounded.
The remaining gowns were dark, and the style of the gowns was also quite old-fashioned.
"This... this doesn't look good."
Felicia seemed bitter. These gowns were definitely outdated. They were not only ugly, but also old.
"Your colleagues have already chosen most of the nice gowns."
According to the assistant, since Felicia and Coralie had only arrived now, it was good enough that there were still some choices left.
Coralie wasn't too bothered by this. She could wear any of these gowns. However, seeing the disappointed look on Felicia's face, she still asked the shop assistant, "Is there any other similar shops around?"
"The other shop is far away, but Skyton Corporation has a large number of employees, so the quality of the remaining dresses should be almost the same,"
The assistant explained.
While they were in this predicament, another assistant came over with a beautiful pink gown and said, "This was returned just now. The person did not want to rent this."
Seeing this gown, Felicia's eyes lit up. Originally, this pink gown was not particularly brilliant, but after seeing the dark-colored gowns in front of her, this pink one was simply a breath of fresh air.
"I, I want this..."
Felicia really wanted to hold this gown in her hand, but she still looked at Coralie in embarrassment.
She conveyed her thoughts in a polite manner.
