Emmeline picked up the remaining glass and smiled at Evelyn.
âI wonât bother you two anymore.â Evelyn took a sip of red wine and left with a smile.
âLetâs go inside and see how Adrienâs preparations are going,â Abel said with his arm wrapped around Emmelineâs shoulders.
âSure.â Emmeline looked around and passed the glass of red wine to the maid at the side. She did not want to look drunk as her face would be flushed if she drank red wine. The maid then took the glass and put it on the drinks counter.
Adrien had just finished changing in the room on the second floor and was looking at himself in the mirror.
His assistant walked in and said to him, âMr. Abel and Ms. Louise are here.â
âLet them in! I need to ask them whether I look alright,â Adrien quickly said.
His assistant then went out to invite Abel and Emmeline in. âPlease come in.â
âAbel, Emma! Do you guys think I look better in a black or gray suit?â Adrien had walked out of his cloakroom and asked them.
Abel and Emmeline looked at him and saw that he was currently wearing a black suit, making him look good and elegant.â
âA black suit.â Emmeline thought that black would make one look dependable.
âI think gray will look better. Black makes him look a little like a bodyguard.â Abel tilted his head as he observed Adrien. Emmeline picked up the remaining glass and smiled at Evelyn.
âHow does black make one look like a bodyguard? Arenât you wearing black too?â Emmeline asked.
âIâm used to it, but Adrien is different from me. He has always been fancy,â Abel said.
Emmeline did not say anything else as she agreed with Abel.
âAbel, youâre making fun of me in front of Emma! Iâve always been well-dressed because of Granny.
She liked treating me like a daughter,â Adrien said while blushing.
âAnyway, I suggest you wear a gray suit. It suits your temperament better,â Abel said.
âTemperament? What temperament do I have?â Adrien asked.
âGray looks more luxurious than black, which suits your noble temperament,â Abel explained.
After his explanation, Adrien and Emmeline thought he was right.
Adrien was secretly happy that Abel had praised his looks. Besides, he had always thought that he looked good.
Emmeline also said, âI think what Abel said makes sense, so try out the gray one.â
âSure.â Adrien quickly went back to the cloakroom. Two assistants also quickly followed him to serve him.
In the cloakroom, there were hundreds of high-quality customized suits from international brands.
Soon, Adrien changed into a dark silver suit and walked out.
Abel said without hesitation, âThis is the one. It suits you well!â
Emmeline also thought that it looked better than the black suit and nodded. âAdrien, I also agree, so this is the one!â
She then tilted her head and looked at Abel from head to toe.
âWhat are you looking at me for? Adrien will be the one going on stage, not me,â Abel said.
âIâm just wondering why black looks good on you,â Emmeline said.
Abel laughed. âYouâre just used to me, so youâll think I look good in anything.â
âMmhm, beauty indeed lies in the eyes of the beholder.â Emmeline nodded with a smile.
âHey, I havenât found myself a partner here yet, so stop acting all lovey-dovey in front of me. Iâll get jealous!â Adrien said with a sullen expression.
âAdrien, how many of them did you pick today?â Abel quickly changed the topic.
âTheyâre the ones here.â Adrien picked up the stack of photos on the table.
Adrien took them over and was surprised. âLizbeth?â
âLizbeth? Which Lizbeth?â Emmeline was also surprised.
âThe one I saved from the Imperial Palace. Sheâs Evelynâs younger sister. The Evelyn we saw just now!â
âNo wonder Evelyn is here. It turns out sheâs here to support her sister.â
âLizbeth? Number one?â Adrien asked.
