Vermont trailed behind Felicity and Ste as they browsed through the dresses.
After trying on over a dozen options, Felicity finally settled on one she was satisfied with.She put it on
and eagerly approached Vermont for his appraisal.
"What do you think, Stinky Cucumber? Does it look good?" she asked with a yful grin.
Vermont was just about to nod in approval when he noticed the back of the dress was almost entirely
open as she twirled around.He immediately changed his tone and said, "Hmm, I''m not quite sold on it.It
makes your legs appear shorter."
Felicity''s lips twitched, and she shot him a determined look.

"It''s because I''m not wearing high heels right now.Once I put them on, it''ll be perfect."
"Can you even walk in high heels? You wouldn''t want to trip before we get to the venue, would you?
You should probably consider changing into something else," Vermont advised.
"You''re such a buzzkill! You clearly have no sense of fashion.Ste even said that I''d turn heads in this
dress!" Felicity retorted.
"Whose opinion do you trust more, mine or hers?" Vermont inquired.
Felicity did not hesitate for a moment.
"Hers.I''m wearing this dress, Vermont.Don''t try to stop me unless you want to go to the banquet without
a date.I''ll just go with Ste."
‘ls this what Keegan felt when Ste had worn that backless dress at Cordelia''s birthday party? Fuck.I
should have brought Felicity to choose her dress earlier so we wouldn''t have bumped into Ste.I feel
like second-best with her here"
Once thedies had settled on their dresses and Keegan had returned from his call, the gang made
their way to the makeup area to meet with the makeup artist.
They had to confirm all makeup and hair arrangements in advance to ensure everything went smoothly
on the big day.
Ste had been busy with shooting for the past few days.
Hence, Vermont decided to help her find a makeup artist, given his extensive experience in the
entertainment industry and his extensivework.
He hired a well-known celebrity makeup artist, Michael Caleb, who crafted looks for several prominent
female figures in the industry.
They waited half an hour upon arrival, but Michael failed to appear.
Keegan furrowed his brows and asked, "Are you sure you made an appointment?"
Vermont shared Keegan''s confusion.
"Of course.I wouldn''t mess up something this important.Let me give him a call."
He dialed Michael''s number, but it went straight to voicemail.
Vermont frowned and tried calling the artist''s assistant.
This time, the call was answered promptly.
"Mr.Snyder," the assistant greeted.
"Where''s Michael? I want him on the phone."
The assistant spoke in a hushed tone, "Mr.Caleb is at a client''s house right now.He''s rather busy at the
moment."
"What the hell is he doing at another client''s ce? I have an appointment with him," Vermont said
sternly.
The assistant was unaware of the situation and responded softly, "Let me check that for you."
"Hurry up," Vermont urged.
The assistant set the phone aside.
After a few minutes, they returned to the call and said, "I''m sorry, Mr.Snyder, but Mr.Caleb said he
forgot about your appointment.He''s already taken on another job and can''t cancel it.He asked if you''d
be okay with having another makeup artist."
Vermont''s face darkened instantly.
"What? He took on another job?" The assistant felt uneasy.
"Mr.Snyder, we take jobs based on scheduled appointments.You only made a verbal agreement with
Mr.Caleb.He''s very busy, and it''s likely that the agreement slipped his mind."
Vermont let out a frustratedugh.
"Are you saying it''s my fault for not giving him a deposit in advance? I was the one who helped his
career back in the day.Am I not good enough for him now that he''s a famous makeup artist?"
