The Kiss that Sparked it All

Chapter 20

“Alrighty, Connor! Off you go, entertain our guests outside! No need to worry about the bridesmaid stuff, I’ve got it covered!” 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, “Ellinor, you look stunning! No wonder Theo suddenly flipped a switch and decided to marry you!”

Ellinor managed a weak smile.

Belinda continued, “Ellinor, how did you and my uncle start dating?”

Dating Theo? That was a painful memory!

Ellinor frowned, “Let’s not talk about him and me, today you’re the spotlight, let’s talk about how you and your

fiancé.”

Belinda enthusiastically started talking about her and Connor’s 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, “Where do I change into the bridesmaid dress?”

Ellinor pointed to the side, “Over there!”

Seeing Ellinor, Debby said angrily, “Ellinor? You again! What are you doing here?”

Ellinor, lounging on the sofa and looking at her phone, glanced at her and said lightly, “I’m here to help out, as a bridesmaid.”

Debby, who had lost her job and was approaching her credit card repayment date, saw an ad online for a bridesmaid gig, with a day’s pay of 300 dollars, and promptly took it up.

She didn’t expect Ellinor to be doing the same thing!

She looked at Ellinor, dressed in a bridesmaid dress, with a sarcastic tone, “Oh! Weren’t you chasing after rich men at the auction house this morning? Now you’re here being a temporary bridesmaid? Got dumped, didn’t you?”

Ellinor didn’t respond, just kept scrolling through social media on her phone.

Thinking she had hit a nerve, Debby snorted in satisfaction, “You had it coming! You really think those rich guys would actually consider you girlfriend material? They’re just playing games with you!”

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 didn’t like the simple and elegant strapless style. It had no design sense!

She glanced at the dress Ellinor was wearing, walked over, and demanded, “Hey! Take off the one you’re wearing and swap with me!”

Ellinor raised an eyebrow, “Why?”

Debby stated defiantly, “Because you cost me two jobs, you owe me!”

Ellinor gave a cold laugh, “Then, I wonder who cost me my job?”

Debby didn’t care about that, she hurriedly grabbed Ellinor, trying to help her undress, “Less talking, more undressing!”

Ellinor was getting annoyed, and clenched her fists, but then she thought of Belinda…. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

This was Belinda’s wedding: finding four temporary bridesmaids was no easy feat. The wedding was about to start, and there could be no more hiccups.

“Alright, I’ll trade with you!” Ellinor said.

“That’s more like it!” 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 didn’t like, but her elegance wasn’t diminished. Instead, her shoulders and neck looked even more delicate, her skin even more exquisite.

Turned out, it wasn’t that the dress on Ellinor was more beautiful, but her grace made any dress look high–end.
