Chapter 188 Sydney''s Photo


    Julien was not worried about the money but that Lyra might have gotten scammed.


    "Zach," Julien called his assistant into the office.


    When Zach came in, he stood in front of Julien''s desk. "President Flint, do you have any orders?"


    "Find out where Lyra went today and what she bought." Julien rubbed his temples.


    "Yes," Zach answered and then left.


    Very quickly, he came back with what he found.


    "President Flint, Ms. Madden went to the mall and bought 20 gowns."


    "What? 20?" Julien’s eyes twitched.


    He knew that Lyra went to buy a gown today, but why did she buy so many?


    "Yes. 20." Zach pushed his sses and confirmed it.


    He was equally surprised when someone else told him about it.


    Julien pursed his lips. "Did you find out why she bought so many of them?"


    "Yes." Zach lowered his head. "Ms. Madden fell into Ms.Raines’ trap." "Sydney?" Julien narrowed


    his eyes. "What happened?” "ording to my sources, Ms. Raines happened to be in the shop


    when Ms. Madden went to get a gown. Whenever Ms. Raines picked a dress, Ms. Madden said she


    wanted it and took it from her. That repeated a few times, and apparently, Ms. Raines did it on


    purpose. That was how Ms. Madden ended up with 20 gowns," Zach replied.


    Ms. Madden must be embarrassed for wanting to bully Sydney but was bullied instead.


    If she was not that smart, she should not target others.


    However, Zach could only keep those words to himself, not daring to voice them.


    Julien''s expression darkened, and his surroundings suddenly turned cold.


    He did not know if the one who snatched the dresses was Lyra or Lyra''s alternate personality.


    No matter which one of them did it, it was uncivilized and stupid. She had just announced to


    everyone in public that she was a shallow person.


    "Did Sydney get a dress in the end?" Julien asked.


    Zach shook his head. "No. Ms. Raines left the shop, and I''m not sure if she went somewhere else."


    Julien nodded. “Get the shopkeepers in the mall to pay attention to her. If Sydney goes to another


    shop and picks a suitable dress, don''t charge her for it.


    Send the bill to me."


    "Yes." Zach nodded and was about to leave


    Julien suddenly stopped him. "Wait."


    "Is there anything else, President Flint?” Zach asked.


    Julien rubbed his eyebrows. "Don’t let Sydney realize that I am trying to pay for her."


    "I understand." Zach nodded.


    In the mall, Sydney and Sharon went to another few shops after leaving Wanika. However, they did


    not find anything suitable.


    Sharon bent over to massage her calves. "President Raines, what should we do if we can’t find


    anything in the next shop?”


    Also exhausted, Sydney sighed and replied, "Don''t worry. I''m sure we will find something. We


    should not be picky at this point."


    “I guess." With that, Sharon nodded and walked into another shop with Sydney.


    The next shop they went into was not as popr as Wanika, but it was one of the oldest boutiques


    around.


    The gowns inside were more of a ssic design.


    Not many young girls could pull off the ssic dresses, so it was not as popr.


    Sydney tried on one of them and found that it suited her very well.


    Sharon''s eyes lit up. "President Raines, this looks


    great on you!"


    Sydney looked at her reflection in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction. "It does look great."


    The shopkeeper also praised, “Miss, can I take some photos of you? Since this gown came to the


    shop, no one has bought it because none of them could pull it off. Since you can, can I take a few


    photos and show them to the designer?"


    "Sure." Sydney looked at her excited expression and felt reluctant to reject her.


    The shopkeeper was so happy. "Thank you!"


    "You''re wee. Should I make a pose?" Sydney asked.


    The shopkeeper nodded.


    Sydney raised the skirt a little and posed. "Go ahead."


    The shopkeeper quickly fished out her phone and took a series of photos.

    Sharon went over to look at the photos. "It''s great!


    President Raines,e and take a look."


    "Sure." Sydney walked over and smiled when she saw the photos. "It does look great. Send me the


    pictures."


    "Alright." The shopkeeper agreed.


    Sydney unlocked her phone and handed it over.


    Then, the shopkeeper sent the photos over.


    Sydney kept her phone after. "Pack this gown up for


    __ __ 99


    me.


    "Sure." The shopkeeper nodded.


    After that, Sydney returned to the dressing room and changed into her own clothes.


    The shopkeeper went to the cashier with Sydney and Sharon behind her. Once the dress was


    packed up, Sydney handed over her card.


    However, the shopkeeper pushed the card back to her. "Miss, our shop would like to give this dress


    to you."


    "What? Give it to us?" Sharon was shocked.


    Sydney was as surprised. "Why?"


    "We sent your photos to the designer, and she said that you pulled it off just like how she envisioned


    it. That is why the designer has decided to give you the dress," the shopkeeper exined.


    Sharon said enviously, "Wow, look at you! You got a dress for free."


    "Exactly. I am quite the lucky one. In that case, thank you." Sydney smiled and did not give it too


    much thought as she took the gown.


    Situations like that were a normal urrence, after all.


    When designers saw customers pull off their work perfectly, they would give the piece to them for


    free. However, Sydney just did not expect it to happen to herself.


    "Miss, you''re wee. Please visit us again some time." The shopkeeper sent Sydney and Sharon


    to the door.


    When they left, the shopkeeper returned to her shop.


    "Did they notice anything?" Just then, a middle-aged man came out from the rest area.


    The shopkeeper passed him the phone and said, "No.”


    "Very good. I will send you your bonuster." The man took the phone.


    The shopkeeper bowed happily. "Thank you, manager."


    "Go on." The manager waved his hand.


    He then tapped on the phone, found Sydney’s photo, and quickly sent it out.


    Soon, Zach knocked on Julien’s door. "President Flint, the gown incident has been settled, and Ms.


    Raines did not suspect a thing."


    "Okay." Julien nodded.


    Zach handed his phone over to him. "This is Ms.


    Raines’ photo."


    "Photo?” Julien put down his pen and took the phone.


    On the screen, Sydney was wearing a ssic spaghetti strapped gown. Under the light, her smile


    was gentle, and she looked like she was shining. It was hard for him to take his eyes off her.


    That was the first time Julien saw such a beautiful Sydney, and his heart skipped a beat.


    His thumb swept over Sydney''s face in the photo, and his eyes darkened. "Who took the photo?"


    "The shopkeeper,” Zach answered.


    Julien pursed his lips. "I don''t remember asking for a photo."


    "Yes. This was the shopkeeper''s idea. Since you asked them to send the bill to you, they must have


    thought you had a special rtionship with Ms.Raines. If you don''t like this photo, I will delete it,"


    Zach said.


    Julien frowned. "No need. Send this to me, and I will delete this myself."


    When Zach heard that, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly rolled his eyes.


    Delete it himself?


    He probably wanted to keep it for himself.
