"What is this?" Roxanne asked.
Noticing that Roxanne gaze was on the shopping bag and the question was because of it the maid spoke. "There was no cloth of young miss size in the Mansion, so Old Madam asked me to get you a new set of clothes from the nearest boutique. She said you have to go shopping later." The maid said.
Roxanne was taken aback by her grandmother's kind gesture, the old lady knew that she didn't have any extra clothes in the Mansion that was why she sent the maid to get her a new set of clothes. Although Roxanne had a pair of extra clothes she had brought along with her in her backpack, she was planning to wear them but who would have thought that her grandmother would have bought clothes for her.
Roxanne didn't bother to say anything as she only nodded her head and walked towards the bed. "I don't know much about young miss clothing style and color you'd prefer. I just picked a dress I thought would suit you." The maid explain, she was a little bit scared that Roxanne wouldn't like the kind of dress she would see in the shopping bag. She would have asked Roxanne the kind of dress she prefers but she didn't want to disturb her that was why she chose to use her instinct and pick a dress for Roxanne. But to the maid's surprise, Roxanne's reply was different from what she expected.
"It's okay, it's not your fault for not knowing my style." Roxanne said as she brought out the dress from the shopping bag. It was a light yellow off-shoulder dress with a short arm length, the maid must have picked the particular color to compliment Roxanne's long blonde hair. The maid even paired the dress with a pair of glistering ribbon lace ankle strap sandals.
Roxanne turned to look at the maid. "I love it. Thank you." She said with a small smile on her face. Although wearing dresses like this was not really her style, she rather prefers wearing dark and dull colors. Even in her past life, she always wore pant suits to the company. It was only when she had an important meeting or a social event that she always wore dresses or skirts. And even if she was invited to some social event, she would always ignore the invitation because she was too occupied with work and she considered the events a waste of time. That was the reason why she didn't know much about the Walter family and never came across them in the past. It was also one of the reasons she wasn't very popular among the societies because she rarely showed her face to events.
And even now Roxanne still prefers her dressing style because it was really her personality and the only real thing she didn't change in the past, but that doesn't mean the dress bought for her was bad.
The maid smiled when Roxanne said she liked the dress. "You were also the one that prepared the night dress for me yesterday. Thank you for that." Roxanne said. She didn't get the chance to thank the maid earlier but seeing the dress reminded her of the night dress.
The maid blushed at Roxanne's comment. "You're welcome, young miss. I will leave you alone to dress up now. The Old Madam also asked me to inform you that breakfast is prepared." The maid informed Roxanne.
"Alright, I will get dressed and join my grandparents for breakfast. Thank you again." The maid smiled and bowed slightly before she turned around and walked off the room, giving Roxanne the privacy she needed.
Roxanne removed the bathrobe and started dressing after the maid left the room. Few minutes later, Roxanne was fully dressed up in a dress bought for her. She was wearing a light yellow dress which had a little embroidered in it and little crystals in the middle. The dress reached till a little below her thighs, she wore a pair of black ribbon lace ankle strap dress.
The dress really fitted her body perfectly and the bright yellow color complimented her white milky skin and long blonde hair. "The maid really had eyes out to have guessed my size just by looking at me once." Roxanne couldn't help but praise the maid for guessing her cloth size correctly after just meeting her once.
She walked over to the dressing table to pack her hair. Roxanne grabbed a towel from the chair to dry her wet hair, she had a little difficulty drying her hair because of it long length
Roxanne looked at herself in the mirror and smirked as another wave of the past memories came flooding into her head. In her previous life before transgressing back to her past, she remembered how she had to go to the salon to cut her long hair all because Bruce told her that he didn't like her long hair. She even went the extra length to curl her natural long silky hair into a wavy style all because she wanted to satisfy Bruce by changing her look into his preference.
She took after her mother long naturally long silky hair, but after her mother died and her father sent her abroad to boarding school, her hair grew longer because she had no one to take care of it like her mother did when she was still alive. And she was too busy burying her head in studying to even have the chance to take care of herself or her hair.
But after she met Bruce she started to care more about her appearance not for herself but because of Bruce. "Tsk. How pathetic I was back then." Roxanne didn't try to hide her resentment and irritation she felt about herself back then. If only she could beat up her soul personally she would have done that gladly, but unfortunately she can't. Her punishment was to live through this life and witness all the mistakes she had made in her past life and keep regretting it.
Roxanne let out a frustrated sigh as she took the hair brush and combed her hair, this time around she didn't wish to cut her hair all because somehow asked her to. When she little her mother always admire her hair before she died, so she planned to continue take care of her hair just the her mother did for her, it was one of the things that always reminded her of her late mother but she threw all that reason away when she met Bruce in the past, a man who didn't even look her way.
"Don't worry mother, this daughter of yours won't make the same mistake she did before." Roxanne mumbled silently. After combing her hair, Roxanne didn't have the extra time to style her hair because she knew that her grandparents were waiting for her downstairs and it would be utterly rude if she wasted their time to style her hair. Besides, she wasn't very good at styling hair, so she just packed and tied her long hair into a simple ponytail.
Roxanne glanced at herself in the mirror and a real goddess with milky white skin and perfect body shape dressed in a simple and casual dress stared back at her. "Good, good." Roxanne muttered. " I shouldn't keep my grandparents waiting any longer." Roxanne turned around and walked out of the room and headed downstairs towards the dining hall where she was told her grandparents were waiting for her.
