Chapter 405
Alexander's eyes landed on Elizabeth, and he was kinda taken aback. "Elizabeth's here too? Is she also getting ready for the cruise party?" he thought.
Elizabeth just gave him a quick look, no hello or anything.
"Got the measurements?" Alexander moved closer and asked Daniela.
Daniela smiled and pointed to a couch, signaling everyone to chill and chat.
As she walked, Daniela said, "Yep. I already got Ms. Russell's measurements and confirmed the style she wants. Mr. Tudor, you want your suit to match Ms. Russell's dress?"
Elizabeth plopped down on a single sofa, crossed her legs, leaned back lazily, and started texting Lila to vent.
Elizabeth: [Guess who I ran into while ordering a dress? Alexander and Esme. Ugh, so annoying!]
Lila: [Small world. Make them disappear.]
Elizabeth glanced at the text and couldn't help but chuckle, her lips curling up a bit.
Alexander's eyes drifted back to Elizabeth.
Her outfit today was on point, totally different from last night at the party.
Elizabeth seemed to have a lot of different looks, and he was just noticing it now.
"Mr. Tudor?" Daniela called Alexander a few times, but he didn't respond.
Esme nudged his arm, looking at him with a blank expression. She thought, "He's zoning out while staring at Elizabeth again. Does she really have that much of a pull?"
When Alexander snapped out of it, Elizabeth happened to look up at him.
He looked kinda rough lately, clearly tired.
Alexander finally said, "No vest and tailcoat. Not my thing. Just a shirt and jacket."
"Got it." Daniela nodded. She liked people who knew what they wanted.
Saved a lot of hassle with changes later.
Elizabeth kept texting Lila: [Ever since he became my ex, he's been getting on my nerves more and more. I wanna punch him!]
Lila: [How about we drag him into an alley someday and beat him up?]
Elizabeth laughed quietly: [Deal.]
Lila: [Let's do it. Wait for me to get back!]
Elizabeth: [Lila, you're a movie star! If this chat gets out, your fans will ditch you.]
Lila: [No way. If my fans knew I was beating up a jerk, they'd love me even more!]
Elizabeth kept the convo going: [Talked to Kieran lately?]
Lila: [He's super busy, so no contact. Rumors squashed too.]
Elizabeth: [You planning to work with the Getty Group?]
Lila: [Yep.]
Elizabeth sighed and replied: [Big star, owing favors sucks, huh? Still up for drinks next time?]
Lila: [Don't wanna think about it.]
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, and Daniela suddenly called her, so she stopped texting.
"Elizabeth, got any color or style preferences? Let's talk."
"I'm cool with anything. Just not too long or fancy, something simple. It's a cruise, after all." Elizabeth cut to the chase.
Alexander glanced at Elizabeth again.
So she was going to the cruise party too.
"Everyone's going to the same party." Daniela smiled and pointed to a white dress on the wall. "How about this white dress?"
Elizabeth nodded. "Sure."
"Great. I'll have the dress sent to your place the day before the party."
Then Daniela asked Alexander, "Should Ms. Russell's dress be delivered to..."
Esme was about to say it could be delivered with Alexander's suit, but Alexander cut in, "The Russell family."
