Chapter 73
Gianna frowned. She had been busy all day and completely forgot about this.
"Give me five minutes," she said.
She quickly packed her things and arrived at Felix's car five minutes later.
As soon as she opened the car door and sat in, she noticed Felix looking at her with some disapproval.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"You're going to the banquet dressed like this?" Felix replied.
Gianna glanced down at her outfit for the day - a dress with a suit jacket, an everyday outfit.
"Can't I go to the banquet like this?" she asked.
Felix pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "Fabian, let's go to the mall."
Gianna furrowed her brows. "Mr. Clinton, it's just a banquet. Do we need to be so formal?"
"Today, you are the protagonist of the banquet!" Felix said.
Seeing the determination in Felix's eyes, Gianna knew that even if she refused, he wouldn't listen, so she stopped talking.
Half an hour later, Sophia pushed Felix and Gianna into the mall together.
Even though Felix was in a wheelchair, his face still attracted the attention of many girls. Some people wanted to approach him, but when they saw his cold gaze, they didn't dare to come closer.
"Felix, where are we going?" Gianna asked.
"To JM," Felix replied.
"Shouldn't we go to a different store?" Gianna suggested.
"JM's dresses are more suitable for you," Felix said.
Watching Felix's calm expression, Gianna couldn't help but say, "It seems like Felix often helps girls choose dresses. Otherwise, how would he know which dress suits me?"
Felix glanced at her and asked, "Are you jealous?"
"How could I be? Don't worry. I have always remembered what you said earlier."
Felix's face instantly turned sour. The few of them fell silent until they reached the entrance of JM.
Amelia greeted them and, seeing Gianna, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Gianna quickly blinked at her and she immediately understood, smiling as she said, "Felix, Miss Redstone, please come in."
She noticed that Felix didn't look like he had been here before, so Gianna looked at him and asked, "Felix, you haven't been here before?"
Felix replied apathetically, "No."
Then how would he know that JM's dresses suited him?
Seeing Gianna's confusion, Sophia smiled and said, "Before, JM held a fashion show at Dawnridge, and Felix went to see it. That's why he thinks JM's clothes suit Miss Redstone."
"Okay."
Amelia had a smile on her face as she earnestly introduced the dresses in the store to Felix, not forgetting to praise Elia in the process. Gianna blushed a bit as she listened.
Although Felix didn't know that she was Elia, she still felt a bit shy when she heard Amelia praise her.
"Have her try these on."
"Sure, Felix."
Amelia took off the dresses she had just introduced to them and said with a smile, "Miss Redstone, some of these dresses are not easy to put on. Let me help you in the fitting room."
Gianna nodded, "Okay."
The two of them entered the fitting room, and Amelia asked in a low voice, "Boss, what is your relationship with Felix? Does he not know your identity?"
"Yes, I told you, don't be surprised."
Amelia and Gianna were friends, so now that she asked, Gianna didn't want to hide it from her. Besides, her relationship with Felix was already public.
"Don't worry, unless you tell me he is your husband, I won't be surprised."
"You didn't say it wrong. He is indeed my husband."
"What?!"
Amelia realized her reaction and quickly covered her mouth. It took her a while to calm down.
"Are you telling the truth?!"
She didn't expect that Gianna was married, and her husband was Felix!
"Yes, you said you wouldn't be surprised."
Amelia fell silent.
"Don't be shocked, anyway. I am about to divorce him. Give me the dresses to try on."
Note: It is unclear what specific American concept should replace the Chinese concept of "JM" in this context. Please provide further instructions.
Amelia was perplexed, but she knew that now was not the best time to ask questions, so she quickly took out a silver-gray dress for Gianna to change into.
When Gianna walked out of the fitting room, the surrounding staff and customers were all amazed.
She walked up to Felix and asked, "What do you think?"
She had always designed dresses to sell to others, but this was the first time she had worn her own design.
The dress had a deep V-neck design, showcasing Gianna's perfect figure. There was a hollow circular ring at the waist, revealing her toned skin. The back was open, and the skirt slit reached above her knees, revealing her slender and straight legs.
Felix only glanced at it and couldn't help but frown.
"It's not good-looking!"
Gianna looked at herself in the mirror and raised an eyebrow. "I think it looks great."
"I said it's not good-looking. Change into something else!"
Under Felix's request, Gianna changed several times until she put on a blue gown, to which he reluctantly nodded.
"This one will do."
Felix was quite good at picking dresses, and this one made Gianna look beautiful and exude an air of nobility.
While Gianna was picking shoes, Felix handed his card to Amelia and said, "Pack up all the dresses she tried on earlier and send them to Grand View."
Amelia was taken aback for a moment, "Okay."
She didn't expect Felix to be so wealthy. The dresses and shoes Gianna tried on cost at least ten million dollars, and Felix bought them all.
However, as she thought about Gianna mentioning their impending divorce, Amelia couldn't help but frown.
After selecting the shoes, when Amelia finished swiping the card and gave it back to Felix, he suddenly said, "By the way, I want to hire Elia as Gianna's personal fashion designer. She can name her price. Can you help me get in touch with her?"
Amelia was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Gianna, who had regained her previous smile.
"Felix, I'm sorry, but Elia never takes custom orders."
Felix glanced at Sophia, and Sophia immediately handed Felix her business card.
"If she changes her mind, she can contact me anytime."
"Okay."
After leaving the dress shop, Felix took Gianna to a hair salon and had her long hair permed into curls before taking her to The Astor family.
On the way, Gianna looked at Felix with some confusion. "What about Sophia? Wasn't she here earlier?"
Felix's eyes darkened slightly. "She forgot something and had to go back to the company to retrieve it."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, the black Maybach pulled up in front of the Astor family's house.
Gianna was about to get out of the car when Felix suddenly grabbed her wrist.
"What's wrong?"
"Let's wait for Sophia before going in."
Although Gianna was curious, she resisted the urge to ask Felix and nodded, "All right."
After more than ten minutes, Sophia finally arrived.
Felix took the red box she handed him and opened it in front of Gianna. When she saw what was inside the box, Gianna visibly paused.
Lying quietly in the box was the necklace that Felix had given her on their third wedding anniversary.
Angel's tears!
