Chapter 129 Let Me Do It


    Baz was too afraid to say anything now.


    “You don’t think Maia is beautiful? Choose your words carefully.” Cedric continued to question him with an intimidating nce.


    Baz could only swallow nervously as he thought of what to say. He was beginning to feel bad for himself for being stuck in such a


    difficult situation.


    Back at the main hall, the 1S11 fashion show had already started as models appeared on the runway to show off the new


    season''s pieces.


    The socialites seated around the stage started a round of heated discussions as they fought to bid on the limited fashion pieces


    shown.


    When Maia appeared at the scene in her expensive aqua blue gown, people around her started talking again.


    “Wow, look! Isn’t that the most expensive piece in this year’s 1511 show? She looks so beautiful in it!”


    “| knew it looked familiar! This gown was just disyed in the middle of the hall moments ago. It costs a few million dors. |


    would never be able to afford it!”


    “I''m pretty sure it’s from Mr. Cedric. I’ve never seen someone so in love with their ex-wife!”


    “Ms. Maia, would you like to take a look at our new diamond heels? This was specially designed by our founder Ms. Eleven. She


    personally affixed all the diamonds onto the heels, and | think they would go well with your beautiful gown.”


    The breath-taking pair of heels were disyed in the middle of the room. Who would be able to resist such a beautiful pair of


    heels? Maia’s gaze was attracted to the pair the moment sheid her eyes on them.


    However, a mother and daughter showed up secondster andmented, “These heels look good, my daughter loves them


    and | think it would suit her well too.”


    She turned toward Maia and added, “My apologies, Ms. Maia. My daughter really loves them. They suit her too, don’t you


    agree?”


    The moment she addressed Maia directly, people around them started gathering and smirked when they saw her overweight


    daughter.


    “There’s no need to apologize. Still, | was here first.” Maia had no ns on giving the heels up, especially not after experiencing


    their rudeness.


    experience being married. I’m sure you’re not nning to throw a huge ceremony for your


    g gift for my daughter! You''ve already second marriage, right? So why not let us have them?” The woman smiled while she


    mocked Maia.


    “You''re right. | should probably let your daughter have them. However, even if you have the means to pay for it, she might not be


    able to bring them home.” Maia exined as she tugged one of her loose strains behind her ears while ncing at the diamond


    heels.


    The woman quickly moved forward as Maia stepped aside from the disy. “Hurry, try them on!”


    “Thanks, mom!”


    The assistant came forward and asked, “What''s her shoe size?”


    “9.” The moment the woman replied, the crowd around started snickering.


    Everyone present for the show knew that Ms. Eleven only ever made a single pair of shoes for each design, and that specific


    pair would only be in her size which was a 6. This girl would never be able to fit in them.


    It was obvious that this family did not originate from a prestigious family. They were probably a part of the nouveau riche who


    who just bought their way into the 1S11 fashion show as a way to unt their assets.


    The assistant smiled apologetically, “I’m sorry, but 6 is the only size we have. This pair of heels was designed by our founder. It is


    a limited-edition design so there''s only one pair.” “What? Your event needs to improve! How could you not have my daughter''s


    size?”


    “We''re so sorry.” The assistant continued to smile apologetically even though she was inwardly cursing at the woman.


    Maia just stood aside and looked at the situation unfolding. All she wanted was to watch if they were willing to spend a few


    million dors just to buy a pair of shoes that didn’t fit.


    Minutester, Maia finally decided that it was enough as she approached the woman andmented casually, “Marriage is just


    like a pair of shoes. Only the parties involved would know whether it fits them. If a marriage is not happy, we could always get a


    divorce, but | can’t say the same about a pair of shoes that doesn’t fit.”


    Maia’sment made the woman pale in embarrassment. She quickly dragged her daughter away, “Let’s go find something


    else! I’m sure there’s nothing here that we couldn’t afford!”


    “Mom, | really love those shoes.”


    “What''s the point of buying them when you can’t even fit into them?”


    The crowd also started to disperse as the show was over, musing that this year’s 1511 fashion show had been unexpectedly


    exciting.


    The assistant quickly turned back to Maia and offered, “Ms. Maia, let me get them for you to try on.”


    Maia nodded and thanked him.


    After changing her evening gown, her ck heels no long suited the outfit she was wearing. Maia walked toward a nearby sofa


    and sat down. The assistant took out the heels from a beautiful bag and sat them carefully on the ground for her.


    When the assistant wanted to assist Maia, a voice came from behind him. “Let me do it.”


    The assistant immediately got up and moved aside when he saw Cedric.


    Maia just stared at the pair. She did not expect the assistant to step aside so soon. He did not even bother to ask if she was okay


    with it.


    Maia wanted to put her ck heels back on but before she could finish, Cedric had grabbed her slender ankle. He knelt in front


    of her and ced her foot onto his knee.


    “Stop moving about.”


    “Let go of me,” Maia warned.


    He raised an eyebrow. “How would you be able to put them on if | did that?” Maia rejected him. “I don’t need your help. The


    assistant will do it.”
