You got the look,
But not the credit
They wrote the book,
On how to sell it
From cigarettes, to skinny jeans
You got the money, they got the means
................
The prices for these dresses are incredibly high!! At least one dress was worth 6 months' salary of her salary and this young man easily bought 10 of 10 all dresses that she tried on before!!!
Either he was crazy or stupidly rich???
"Cristan!" Arissa shouted at him wryly.
Duh! If she knew this would happen, she should only try on one dress earlier.
Cristan covers his ears as he walked out and enters the car lightly and smiled back at her mischievously. Then, he opened the car door and motioned Arissa to get into the car with a gesture like a servant.
"Please come in, princess ...."
Arissa laughed amusedly seeing his silly behavior and quickly entered the car.
....................
The Maybach finally arrived in front of their apartment. But what surprised Arissa even more, was the arrival of several women in dark gray uniforms who already waiting patiently for their arrival at the entrance with lots of shopping bags that bearing the Summerville logo on each bag. Seeing them, all of the women smiled nicely, and following Cristan's steps, they all entered the apartment in order and put all the bags in the living room then withdrew themselves shortly afterward.
Arissa's eyes widened in shock when she saw those shopping bags. In total, there are 15 shopping bags and 12 shoe boxes as well as other boxes containing women's accessories like a set of bags and pairs of earrings and necklaces.
"These are for you ..." Cristan said nonchalantly while his hand just carrying a set of tuxedos before he entered his bedroom.
"The event will be started at 7 PM. But my grandfather expected us to come earlier so we'll go at 5 PM… " Cristan continued his line before he finally disappeared behind the door.
Gulp!
Arissa suddenly feels dizzy and massaged her temple when she saw those rows of shopping bags. She is never accustomed to wearing these luxury and branded items. Not to mention, those would take a long time to put on a dress and match them with a pair of accessories. Arissa look at her watch. It's 4.00 PM. Duh….
Then suddenly, a light bulb flashed inside her head. Her fingers danced swiftly on her phone and she waited patiently until someone answers her phone across the line.
"Jo, this is me, Arissa. Sorry..are you busy now? Would you mind doing me a favor? "
"Ouch, Ris. I still have plenty of things to do. What's up? " Jojo answered her with a scowl on his face. Not because of her call, but because of neverending tasks on his list which are undone yet and he hasn't slept properly since 2 days ago.
What a wreck!!
"Ehmmm ... I need your help to be my fashion stylist for Cristan's grandfather's birthday party this evening."
A deep frown spontaneously formed on Jojo's forehead.
"Didn't I lend you some dresses earlier? You only need to try them one by one and you decide which one will fit you the best... "
"Well .. the problem is, we did stop by a boutique and shopped for some clothes there and now, I got confused about which dress that I should wear .." Arissa replied uneasily.
"Ah, I see? And what's the name of the boutique? "
"Summerville ..."
Jojo's eyes almost jumped out of their sockets when Arissa mentioned the name of the boutique. It was his favorite boutique from his childhood!! He always fell in love with all its dresses in the boutique. For him, Summerville is more like an art gallery that showing the best designs from the masterpieces. All the dresses are finely hand-made and have intricate details with great value for each piece. For all these years, Jojo only can admire all the pieces of Summerville designs from the photos in high-end fashion magazines. One of his once-of-a-lifetime dreams is to become one of the stylist consultants at this legendary boutique !! Now, he has a chance to touch those magnificent artworks with his own hands. How could he miss this opportunity ??
Soon, Jojo throws his notepad and grabbed his key car at a flash speed.
"I'll be there in 10 minutes !!"
...................
At Arissa's apartment, 5 minutes later....
Jojo stared at all the magnificent artworks in front of him proudly with teary eyes. All shoes, dresses, dresses, earrings, necklaces…. It looked like a pure fine art that sent straight directly from Heaven for him. They look so damn beautiful, radiant, glamorous, alluring…
"Jo?"
(...…)
"Jo?"
(...….)
"Jo?"
Only with the third shout and a loud pat on his shoulder, Jojo finally returned to earth. A few minutes later, Jojo is busying himself and helped Arissa to bring all the clothes into her bedroom and started helping Arissa to wear a dress that perfectly fits her. With Jojo's help, shortly after, Arissa finally managed to find a dress that suited her properly.
Every dress that she tried and wore gives a new and refreshing look without losing its glamorous touch. But, after a while, he chose an off-shoulder midi dress that featured her long neck and beautiful collarbone. This dress also has risen gold embroidery accents with a sprinkling of Swarovski crystals on the right side with an asymmetrical skirt. Coupled with the earrings and crystal necklace that paired with her and her hairdos that were halfway down to one side, the dress made Arissa look glamorous but also enchanting at the same time. She looks like a lily that blooms at night. Beautiful and gorgeously charming.
Jojo was stunned after Arissa fully dressed. She looks so classy and elegant. Like a noble lady. She is utterly different from the one who usually deals with her camera and casual clothes. Jojo even had to pat his cheeks many times just to make sure that he wasn't dreaming. With this kind of beauty, even those who like males, will be turned straight right away!
"Are you ok, Jo?" Arissa asked sympathetically and raising her eyebrow, looking at Jojo who acted awkwardly in front of her.
Jojo utterly speechless. He just smiled broadly when he looked adorably at her and said, "You're so beautiful .."
Arissa blushed when she heard the compliment. "Thank you.."
Shortly after, a male figure came out from the door to the next room.
For an instant, Arissa's eyes caught an incredible sight.
In a dark blue tuxedo, Cristan looks ten times more handsome in her eyes. Her brown hair is combed back neatly and his charming radiates with his shaven face. His aura is dominating and alluring at the same time. His gesture is majestic like a royal prince.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Cristan was speechless and utterly stunned when he saw Arissa's look.
The dress that chosen by Arissa was simple but it perfectly fitted her curves. As for the addition, the necklace that she wore and her high heels adding more beauty to her elegance with no exaggeration. The makeover on her face is slightly applied but it makes her look naturally beautiful.
Cristan cleared his throat and was just about to say his compliment when suddenly, his eyes caught Jojo's presence in the living room.
"Jojo?? Is that you??"
Cristan confirmed his doubt confusedly.
"What are you doing here?" He asked him again with a suspicious tone.
........................….
"Please don't be mad at him. I was the one who calling and asked for his help," Arissa answered the question quickly in a nervous tone. She was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between Cristan and Jojo.
"The clothes that you bought from the boutique were a lot, so I ask Jojo to help me choose which dress is the most appropriate for me .."
Cristan just nodded his head while showing his indifferent facial expression. Although he was annoyed by Jojo's presence, he didn't say anything because their relationship was indeed very close before.
"Ok, let's go ..." asked Cristan indifferently.
"Eh?"
Jojo, who did not think that he would be invited to come along, utterly shocked as he followed Cristan and Arissa's steps out of the apartment.
"Where are we going?"
"Rose Mansion ..." Cristan replied shortly as he sat next to Arissa after Jade opened the door for both of them.
And once again, Jojo felt his heart almost jumped out from its rib cage.

Oh you upper class daughters,
And working class sons
It's hard to save a dollar,
The way the world runs
You're the target market of a corporate joke
It won't be so ironic
When your daddy is broke
Surprise surprise,
Surprise surprise
You're much better looking when you're in disguise
Surprise surprise,
Surprise surprise
And this revolution has been brought to you by
Just gotta stop,
So you can mimic
The tortured honest,
The gyn is cynic
The latest gadget,
Is just a gimmick
Another sucker
Born every minute
