All too late for his love

The man who spoke was lan.

Willow froze. She hadn't expected lan, whose schedule was so tight that it was planned down to the minute, would show up to oversee the video game promotional shoot.

Wilhelmina was elated when she heard what lan said.

lan could only mean one thing when he said Wilhelmina could have the gown-he thought she was extraordinary.

Perhaps Wilhelmina might prove herself worthy of the endorsement deal for Arena of Glory if she performed well today.

Straightening up and flashing lan a sweet smile, Wilhelmina said brightly, "Thank you for giving me the gown, Mr. Nightingale!"

lan did not even glance at Wilhelmina as he gave Eric a meaningful look, indicating for him to hand the gown to her.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Eric felt his heart bleed as he looked at the gown. It cost nearly as much as Willow's endorsement fee, and he couldn't believe lan was just going to hand it over to someone else.

However, Eric did not try to understand the inner workings of lan's mind as he quietly took the gown off the rack and handed it to Wilhelmina.

Wilhelmina beamed as if she had just won the lottery and clutched the gown in her arms.

Judging by the sewn-in pearls and the heavy fabric, Wilhelmina could tell the gown had to have come at an astronomical price.

Excited to flaunt the gown, Wilhelmina stuck her tongue out playfully at Matthew and said, "Matt, I'm going to try this on. If it fits, I'll wear it for the shoot later!"

She carried the gown in her arms and practically sashayed into the fitting room.

She came out a moment later wearing the gown. The gown-from its silhouette to its delicate embroidery -was flawless.

However, Wilhelmina could not bring out the luxurious beauty of the gown. It hung oddly from her frame and hugged her in all the wrong places.

She looked far from elegant, and her waist filled out the dress so much that the seams were close to bursting. She hadn't even noticed that she had ripped the fabric on the back of the dress.

Wilhelmina seemingly sensed that she did not look as good in the gown as she had envisioned.

But there was an old saying that the clothes made the man, and she refused to believe she did not look beautiful in a stunning piece like this.

The thought gave Wilhelmina's ego a boost. She smiled sweetly at lan and played up her charms. "Thank Chapter 373

you for giving me this gorgeous gown, Mr. Nightingale.

She turned and walked slowly toward Matthew, splaying her arms as she asked, "What do you think, Matt? Do I look pretty in this gown?"

Matthew did not respond at all. He was in a daze as he watched m Wilhelmina approach him; but he couldn't help pieturing Willow in the gown.,
