Chapter 1219 Aesthetics
"Of course, they've been the top hosts in Maple Valley for decades. Hiring them for a wedding or event costs tens of thousands of dollars, and you have to book them months in advance," Daryl laughed.
"Truly industry giants. After getting their advice all night, I feel so much more confident!" Cecilia felt a lot less pressure instantly.
Daryl said, "Hey, shouldn't you also mention me, who helped you get these industry giants?"
Hearing the sarcastic remark, Cecilia quickly laughed, "Yes, yes, I must especially thank you, Mr. Fields!"
"Just saying it?" Daryl stopped in his tracks and stared at her in the night.
"What else do you want?" Cecilia stared at him, pretending to be clueless.
"Shouldn't your lips do something too?" Daryl whispered in her ear.
Cecilia gave a shy smile.
Then, she stepped forward, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him on the cheek.
But he shook his head in dissatisfaction. "Can you put a little more effort into it?"
She smiled and stood on her tiptoes again, giving him a stronger kiss on the cheek, this time making a sound.
But he was still not satisfied. "You're kissing the wrong spot."
Cecilia frowned. "Hey, don't push your luck."
Her threat had no effect; instead, he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her waist, and whispered, "But I didn't feel anything."
Even though it was cold outside, his warm breath made her feel unusually warm.
Under his mix of soft and hard tactics, she stood on her tiptoes for the third time and gave him a light kiss on the lips.
When her lips touched Daryl's, he initially savored the light and brief kiss.
As she pulled back, he stepped forward without hesitation and kissed her.
She let out a soft cry as he completely enveloped her in his arms, giving her a breath-stealing, mind-blowing passionate kiss.
By the river, they kissed passionately, drawing the attention of occasional passersby, but they didn't care at all. Let them watch and see how happy they were.
The next morning, Daryl accompanied Cecilia to the largest and most upscale department store in Maple Valley to pick out clothes and shoes for her hosting gig.
Cecilia took a long time to choose and finally settled on a brand that was intellectual and affordable luxurious.
She was just a small editor, so overly high-end clothes didn't suit her. The best choice was something a bit refined and intellectual.
"Help me pick one," Cecilia said, pulling him in front of rows of clothes.
With so many styles, she really couldn't make up her mind.
Daryl stopped in front of a few racks, looked at a few pieces, and pointed to two long dresses, one white and one black.
"White and black are the most elegant and least likely to go wrong. Try these two."
"I know you have the best taste. I'll listen to you," Cecilia said immediately.
"How do you know I have the best taste?" Daryl asked with a smile.
Cecilia raised her chin and said, "Because you chose me, which means you have a discerning eye!"
Seeing her playful look, Daryl smiled and affectionately pinched her cheek.
He loved pinching her cheek; it felt great.
The sales assistant, seeing how loving this couple was, smiled to herself.
Then, the sales assistant stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss, this gentleman has a keen eye. Both of these dresses are limited editions, with only two of each size in Maple Valley. Your skin is great, and you'll look good in either the white or the black one!"
Looking at the white and black dresses in the sales assistant's hands, Cecilia found it hard to choose. "I want to try both."
"Sure, please follow me," the sales assistant said, leading Cecilia to the fitting room.
A moment later, Cecilia came out wearing the black dress.
She walked over to where Daryl was sitting on the sofa, put her hands on her waist, and smiled, "How is it?"
Daryl looked up from his newspaper, and his eyes darkened.
The black dress was off-shoulder with a slightly low neckline, revealing a bit of cleavage, which accentuated her neck and arms. Her skin looked even more radiant against the black, and the narrow waist design highlighted her curves. The high slit on one side of the dress subtly showcased her long legs. Overall, the dress was sexy and alluring.
From his expression, Cecilia felt that the dress was probably quite good.
The sales assistant also praised her. "Miss, you look stunning in this dress. You'll attract all the men's attention at the event!"
Daryl's face also darkened.
"How is it?" Cecilia asked him eagerly after spinning around.
Daryl said, "Try the white one."
"Alright."
She then turned and went to the fitting room, with the sales assistant quickly following with the white dress.
A few minutes later, Cecilia stepped out of the fitting room.
When Daryl saw her walking gracefully towards him, his eyes lit up!
The white dress had a V-neck design and a fitted waist, but it was an A-line dress, elegant and noble, making Cecilia look like a high-class princess.
"Miss, you look like a princess in this white dress. It's so elegant and beautiful!" the sales assistant quickly praised.
Daryl nodded and said, "This one."
Seeing that Daryl had chosen for her, Cecilia turned to the sales assistant and smiled, "I'll take the white one."
"We'll take both!" Daryl said.
Cecilia stepped forward and whispered, "I only need the white one. Didn't you say the black one didn't look good?"
"Who said it didn't look good? It looks great," Daryl said matter-of-factly.
"Then why didn't you say anything when I asked you earlier?" Cecilia frowned.
Earlier, when she wore the black dress, his expression wasn't good.
Daryl glanced at the sales assistant and then whispered in Cecilia's ear, "You look good in both, but I want you to wear the black one just for me."
