Édouard was happy to receive the jewelry set that he had ordered to make a few weeks ago. He thanked Charles for bringing it from the jeweler and went to see Charlotte.
As he stepped into the dressing room, he saw Charlotte getting ready. He decided to come later when Charlotte stopped him. She saw his reflection in the mirror. "I am ready, Édouard. Stay here," she said and saw the jewelry box in his hand.
"You all can leave," Charlotte told Zoe and the other servants after her hair was done.
When she stood up and turned around, Édouard was mesmerized to see her. He could not take his eyes off Charlotte. Words would be less to express how pretty she looked in the gown which he ordered in a rush. The gown was empire waist royal purple in color with puffy sleeves made of lace.
The beautiful hair curls went well with the dress.
"Édouard, how do I look?" Charlotte asked, but she didn't get any response from him. She called his name thrice when he finally responded.
