âAlrighty, Connor! Off you go, entertain our guests outside! No need to worry about the bridesmaid stuff, Iâve got it covered!â Belinda shoved Connor out of the dressing room.
She tumed around and looked at Ellinor, who was already dressed in her bridesmaid dress, and said with a smile, âEllinor, you look stunning! No wonder Theo suddenly flipped a switch and decided to marry you!â
Ellinor managed a weak smile.
Belinda continued, âEllinor, how did you and my uncle start dating?â
Dating Theo? That was a painful memory!
Ellinor frowned, âLetâs not talk about him and me, today youâre the spotlight, letâs talk about how you and your fiancé.â
Belinda enthusiastically started talking about her and Connorâs love story, focusing on the sweet and happy moments.
Soon, two girls entered the dressing room, temporary bridesmaids Belinda had found.
Belinda sent them off to change into their bridesmaid dresses, took a call in the meantime, asked Ellinor to greet the last arriving temporary bridesmaid, and then rushed off.
A few minutes later, Debby walked into the dressing room, âWhere do I change into the bridesmaid dress?â
Ellinor pointed to the side, âOver there!â
Seeing Ellinor, Debby said angrily, âEllinor? You again! What are you doing here?â
Ellinor, lounging on the sofa and looking at her phone, glanced at her and said lightly, âIâm here to help out, as a bridesmaid.â
Debby, who had lost her job and was approaching her credit card repayment date, saw an ad online for a bridesmaid gig, with a dayâs pay of 300 dollars, and promptly took it up.
She didnât expect Ellinor to be doing the same thing!
She looked at Ellinor, dressed in a bridesmaid dress, with a sarcastic tone, âOh! Werenât you chasing after rich men at the auction house this morning? Now youâre here being a temporary bridesmaid? Got dumped, didnât you?â
Ellinor didnât respond, just kept scrolling through social media on her phone.
Thinking she had hit a nerve, Debby snorted in satisfaction, âYou had it coming! You really think those rich guys would actually consider you girlfriend material? Theyâre just playing games with you!â
Ignoring her, Ellinor continued to tap on her phone. Debby threw a few more jabs before going to change.
Seeing the last bridesmaid dress left on the rack, Debby frowned in displeasure. She didnât like the simple and elegant strapless style. It had no design sense!
She glanced at the dress Ellinor was wearing, walked over, and demanded, âHey! Take off the one youâre wearing and swap with me!â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow, âWhy?â
Debby stated defiantly, âBecause you cost me two jobs, you owe me!â
Ellinor gave a cold laugh, âThen, I wonder who cost me my job?â
Debby didnât care about that, she hurriedly grabbed Ellinor, trying to help her undress, âLess talking, more undressing!â
Ellinor was getting annoyed, and clenched her fists, but then she thought of Belindaâ¦.
This was Belindaâs wedding: finding four temporary bridesmaids was no easy feat. The wedding was about to start, and there could be no more hiccups.
âAlright, Iâll trade with you!â Ellinor said.
âThatâs more like it!â Debby said.
After changing, Debby was pleased with her reflection. She was feeling beautiful about herself, until she saw Ellinor coming out of the changing room.
Ellinor had put on the bridesmaid dress Debby didnât like, but her elegance wasnât diminished. Instead, her shoulders and neck looked even more delicate, her skin even more exquisite.
Turned out, it wasnât that the dress on Ellinor was more beautiful, but her grace made any dress look highâend.
