Chapter Chapter 0009 1 I settled on a color that I thought would complement my complexion .
It was a pretty emerald green tone .
I pulled the jacket out and held it up against myself .
Are you serious ? Amanda asked with a scoff .
If you want to blend in with the wallpaper , I guess thatll work .
You want something thatll have people talking .
I didnt , but I wasnt going to tell her that .
If I started acting completely differently too quickly , it would make people suspicious , especially David and Amanda .
For the time being , I had to play along .
This is why I need your help , I said as I put the jacket over my arm and grabbed a matching skirt in my size .
Ill keep this as a backup .
Youre not going to need it , Amanda said .
She turned and looked around the store slowly with her hands on her hips .
After looking for a moment , she gasped with excitement and rushed off toward the corner .
I followed after her slowly .
Lcould vaguely remember an outfit she had picked out for me around this time in our original timeline , and it was hideous .
I had a bad feeling that I was about to see that dress again .
My sense of dread was correct .
A moment later , Amanda was holding a neon pink strapless dress with a flowing skirt and flowers embroidered on the bodice with sparkly gemstones .
She waved it at me with a huge grin on her face .
This is perfect for you , she said .
It looks like your style , David agreed .
I hadnt even realized that he had walked up behind me until he spoke .
I could tell David hated my style , but he was trying to flatter me .
I used to think it was because he loved me , but actually it was because he needed to stay on my good side .
I could feel myself struggling to smile .
Are you sure ? I asked .
Just try it on and youll see , Amanda said , shoving the dress into my arms .
This isnt the kind of thing I ever would have argued with her about in the past , so I took the dress into the fitting ired it , and it was even worse than 1 remembered .
Then I tried the suit on ; it complimented my build well and It made me look a little bit older .
I would just buy both it was a simple solution .
I walked out with the suit , and I could see Amanda disappointed that I didnt step out of the fitting room wearing The dress , that I pretended not to notice .
She was having a very disappointing day , and it seemed it was starting to wear on her .
After all , so little of the tration tad bolely on her , even Davids attention ha mostly been focused on me since I met up with them .
* must have been divine bet crazy .
No I appstarted the checkout , Amanda grabbed me by the bow Are you really buying that suit ? she demanded .
| Casadaily pulled away on her grip and set the sonali pile of clothing next to the register t like it .
I sald wall it , Chapter 0000 +25 BONUS I could see the people around us turn to stare , and I understood immediately what Amanda was trying to do .
She was attempting to make me seem like someone who squandered resources and couldnt manage my money .
She wanted people to judge me negatively .
David was playing right along with her .
He let out a long sigh and reached for his wallet .
Its fine , he said .
My treat .
Here he was , coming into play as the doting fiancé who always went out of his way for his spoiled girlfriend .
The employee had walked up to the register .
When she saw David reaching into his wallet , she had a puzzled look on her face .
That wont be necessary , she said .
What do you mean ? David asked , frowning .
