Chapter 847 Shocking News
It took around half an hour for Selena to get another two invitations.
"Well, it seems you two are going to see the prince of C Island." Selena stretched out her hand to give the invitations to Caroline but paused midway. "But you can't take photos. You can't let others know that you are photographers. A lot of soldiers will be guarding the banquet."
"Got it. Thank you, Selena." Caroline received the invitations with a smile. Then, she handed them to Michelle.
Looking Michelle up and down, Selena asked Caroline, "Have you and your assistant brought any evening dresses? I doubt it. Luckily for you two, I'm the brand ambassador of a fashion brand here, and they've sent over a few dresses. Go and pick out any dresses you like, and consider them my New Year's gifts for you."
Caroline and Selena were old friends, and they were very close. Michelle beamed at her. "Thank you, thank you so much!"
Her eyes were always so bright and sincere.
As she smiled, she revealed her white teeth.
"Oh, what a lovely child!" Selena couldn't help but reach out and pinch Michelle's cheek. Her soft, supple skin made Selena sigh. "Your skin is so nice, I can't see a single pore."
Michelle smiled and thanked her sincerely again. Seeing her childish smile, Selena couldn't help but chuckle to herself. 'She really is a lovely girl.'
"Selena, she isn't a child anymore; she's 25 years old," Caroline pointed out matter-of-factly. "She has a baby face and she's petite. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if she was taken for a student."
"Oh my God!" Selena covered her mouth in surprise. "Incredible. I thought you hired a child laborer."
"I wouldn't do anything illegal!" After saying that, Caroline huffily led Michelle away to choose their evening dresses for the royal banquet.
The dresses were all tailor-made to fit Selena. Caroline happened to be tall and slender, so the dress she chose fit her like a glove. Michelle, on the other hand, was small and child-like, so when she wore a dress, she looked like a kid who had tried on her mother's gown.
The three women were in a dilemma.
Michelle stuck out her lower lip helplessly. Just then, Selena's stylist came to the rescue. "Selena, I just remembered that you have a short dress. You didn't think it was your style, so I had it put away."
"Really?" Selena had so many dresses that she had no recollection of the dress her stylist was talking about. "Do you know where it is? Please find it!"
It took another half hour before the stylist finally found the dress.
She opened the box and revealed a short-cut cyan dress.
It looked simple, but delicate. It was an off-shoulder dress. Michelle's clavicle was going to be highlighted in that dress, rendering her more sexy than child-like.
There was a multi-layer gauze at the bottom, which gave the dress depth and dimension. The bowknot and retro accessories around the waist served as the cherry on top.
The hemline of the dress was a little above her knees, revealing her fair legs.
After putting it on, Michelle felt like a lithe and elegant elf. This off-shoulder, fluffy, short dress looked good on her.
"A pair of silver high-heeled shoes will elevate your look," the stylist added helpfully.
Selena nodded in agreement. She asked Michelle what her shoe size was and then called someone to send her a pair of silver high heels.
When the shoes arrived, Michelle swallowed nervously. They were five-centimeter high stilettos. "Cara, I don't know how to walk in such high heels."
Caroline looked at her in disbelief. "Well, you still have time to learn. Take it easy and practice a little, and you'll get used to them soon. Don't you want to see the prince of C Island?"
"Yes!" Michelle squealed excitedly, immediately cheering up. "Okay, I'll learn. I'll do my best!"
"Good girl." Caroline patted her on the shoulder. "Come on, you have to be an elegant fairy."
"Lovely fairy, do you have a boyfriend?" Selena asked, batting her eyelashes.
"Yes." Michelle smiled sweetly.
It was very easy to tell that she liked her boyfriend very much.
Caroline said teasingly, "Her brother is handsome and rich. It's been said he'd had a crush on her for the longest time before they finally got together."
Michelle lowered her gaze shyly.
"That's so sweet! But why'd you call him her brother? Are they siblings?" Selena was shocked by her own thoughts.
"Of course not!" Caroline said quickly. "His surname is Lu, and hers is He. They're not even cousins. Her boyfriend is her good friend's brother. She treated him as her brother in the beginning, and then eventually, he's become her boyfriend."
"Oh, my God! That's so romantic!" Selena's eyes twinkled dreamily. "Why doesn't my good friend have a brother?"
Then she glanced meaningfully at Caroline.
Caroline caught her gist and rolled her eyes. "Why doesn't my good friend have a brother?" she retorted.
"I don't have an older brother, but I do have a younger one." Selena was secretly planning to nudge Michelle in her brother's direction, but now that she knew Michelle had a boyfriend, she turned to Caroline. "You've met him! Santino's 24 years old."
"Stop it!" Caroline was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. "Selena, I'm almost thirty. Do you really want me to date a boy six years younger than me? Dream on!"
"Wouldn't that be a good thing?" Selena countered. "Age is just a number, after all."
Caroline shook her head firmly. "No, thank you."
Then she changed the topic. "Mimi, where is your boyfriend from?"
"Well..." After a hesitant pause, Michelle said frankly, "He's from here, actually."
"He's from C Island?" Caroline blinked incredulously. Then, she realized why Michelle acted so strange on the plane. She smiled meaningfully and said, "Well, I wondered why you wanted to thank Gray for giving you the opportunity to go on this trip. It turns out you just wanted to see your boyfriend!"
Michelle smiled sheepishly. "Thank you for taking me with you, Cara."
"Did you tell him?" Caroline poked. "You didn't tell him, did you? You want to surprise him, right?"
Cara always knew what was on her mind.
Michelle nodded shyly.
"Being young is wonderful." Caroline sighed. "Only young people like you would do such a thing. But I hope surprising him in his hometown won't scare him off."
Michelle frowned slightly. "What makes you say that?"
"Oh, nothing. The less you know, the better." Caroline turned to look at Selena and asked, "Selena, are there many people here in C Island whose surname is Lu?"
Michelle's eyes widened anxiously. She was about to be found out.
"Lu? Not many people's surname is Lu." Selena narrowed her eyes.
On C Island, people whose surname was Lu were all related to the royal family.
Michelle wanted to stop her, but Caroline immediately answered, "His name is Leon Lu." NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
Selena's jaw dropped to the floor.
Not noticing this, Caroline continued, "He has a sister named Nina Lu."
Selena wasn't sure about it at first, but now she was 100% sure.
Too shocked to say a word, her lips parted slightly and her eyes glazed over.
'Leon and Nina?
Aren't they the prince and princess of C Island?'
