The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray)

Chapter 71 Look How Poor You Are

Chapter 71 Look How Poor You Are

The car has entered the main road. With more and more cars on the road, Lucien stops joking with

Nina and focuses on driving.

Suddenly a soft ring breaks the silence in the car. Lucien's car phone rings.

"Speak." His opening words are always so domineering and concise.

The other side says something. Lucien shows satisfaction. "OK. You get things ready. I'll be there in a

minute."

Lucien hangs up. He pulls over and unbuckles Nina's seat belt.

"Go to the dress shop yourself. I have something to deal with." He tells her succinctly and does not

allow Nina to object.

Nina is used to his bullying. She doesn't ask him what happened but gets off quietly. She looks up at

Lucien. "How can I get to the dress store?"

Lucien's eyes are full of happiness and he seems to be in a particularly good mood. He pinches Nina's

face. "It's not far. It's on the street ahead. Follow this road to the junction ahead and turn right. Then

you can see it. Saint Laurent advanced customization. When I'm done, I'll pick you up."

With that he closes the door. The luxury motorhome runs away like an arrow.

Nina follows Lucien's route to find the haute couture shop. The storefront is decorated in an

extraordinary manner. It has milky white walls and light gold streamline decoration. In front of the store

is a magnificent Roman style pillar. Its overall style is fashionable with a little classical elegance and

low-key noble spirit.

She walks into the shop, and immediately a shop assistant with a fine make-up comes up. "Welcome!"

Another shop assistant brings a glass of lemonade to Nina. "Would you like to buy ready-made clothes

or see our sample album?"

Nina smiles politely at the shop assistant. "Let me see first."

Nina is wearing a loose white dress which is almost shabby in style. She bought the dress at the night

market with little change left. Lucien bought her beautiful clothes that can fill her wardrobe, but she

didn't wear them. She always feels that they don't belong to her.

Her hair has not been permed and dyed. It spreads freely. She looks very ordinary.

Two shop assistants look up and down at Nina. They look at each other and show contempt. This little

woman is wearing cheap clothes and dare to enter our shop!

Nina doesn't notice the expressions of the shop assistants at all. She just strolls around the shop with

interest.

In fact, she doesn't want to buy any dresses or go to any dinner party with Lucien. But it's a pleasure to

see so many beautiful clothes.

She's killing time.

Nina points to a dark green dress. "Please take it down and I'll try it."

This dress is on the model. It's not easy to take off the long skirt with complicated lace embroidery.

The shop assistant gives Nina a contemptuous look. What a bother this woman is! She picks the dress

on the model! What a bother!

But after all, it's the top hand-made clothing store. There are rules in the store. As long as the guests

arrive, they should provide warm service. So they don't dare to leave Nina alone. They just try to

suppress their contempt.

Looking at Nina's shabby clothes, the shop assistant is also surprised. The poor girl has a good taste.

This dress is the latest work of the designer. It won a grand prize at the Milan international fashion

show and it just flew back last month. Its fabric, style and cutting are all first-class!

Many people have tried this dress, but because it is dark green, few people's skin and temperament

can match it. So it hasn't been sold yet.

The shop assistant lazily hands the dress to Nina and impatiently points to the fitting room. "The fitting

room is inside. Try it yourself!"

In fact, according to the store rules, shop assistants should help customers try on their clothes.

The fitting room is very spacious. It is decorated with deep purple velvet, showing a luxurious

atmosphere. Each fitting room has a soft sofa, a large shiny mirror and a delicate dresser. The

cosmetics are complete. But the door is a heavy velvet curtain so she can't lock it. But no one will

break into such a high-end shop.

Nina takes off her loose skirt and puts on the dress carefully. There are many thin hand-made

embroidery lace at the bottom of the dress. They are as thin as a layer of smoke and look fragile. Nina

is worried about breaking it.

When Nina gets up in this dress, she feels her back pulled. She feels a little cold with her skin exposed.

Maybe the zipper catches the lace. Nina sits down and shouts out of the curtain, "Miss? Please come

in."

It's too much trouble to wear a dress. She's tired. Nina whispers and waits for the shop assistant to

come in and help her.

But no one answers outside. Two shop assistants are happily playing games on their mobile phones.

They pretend not to hear Nina. Poor girl, who cares about you?

Nina raises her voice and shouts again. She is still ignored. A crisp female voice comes from the fitting

room next to her, "stop shouting, I'll help you!"

The heavy velvet curtain is lifted and a young girl comes in. She is dressed in fashion and makes up

heavily.

The girl is surprised to see Nina's dress. "This dress is so beautiful! I wanted to try it just now, but my

skin is not white enough. I'm afraid I don't match the color. You look beautiful!"

The girl helps Nina untie the lace. She smiles at Nina and her eyes flash.

Nina thinks her smile and eyes are a little weird. But then she shakes her head, "it must be an illusion. I

didn't have a good rest last night, so I have hallucinations today." Thinking of last night, Nina blushes

again. Lucien is a pain in the ass. Regardless of her pregnancy, he pestered her to have sex with him.

She has backache today.

There is a whole wall of mirrors outside. Nina goes to the mirror with her dress.

The light is bright and soft. She sees herself in the mirror. The collar of the dress is very low and her

skin is exposed. The dark green color and the gorgeous hand-made embroidery lace on the skirt make

her skin white and delicate like the most exquisite porcelain.

The high waistline of the dress covers her slightly raised belly. She is fresh and elegant and looks like

the most noble princess.

The shop assistant freezes. She didn't expect the poor girl to match the dress. This dress is just like it's

made for her. Everything is perfect.

Nina is stunned. Since her father's company went bankrupt three years ago, she hasn't worn fancy

clothes. She usually wears simple T-shirts and jeans and she doesn't make up. She has forgotten how

it feels to stand in front of the mirror in beautiful clothes.

The silk fabric is soft on her body. She feels a little cold and slippery. It is as delicate and gentle as her

mother's hand.

Nina suddenly feels a little sad. Her good mood disappears. When she was little, her mother often wore

such a beautiful dress. She held her in pink princess skirt and went to a senior banquet with her father.

The father was handsome. The mother was beautiful and quiet. The child was beautiful and lovely.

They were enviable family. But now...

Nina can't help but smile to the shop assistant. "I don't think this dress suits me very well. Please give

me that short white dress over there."

The shop assistant turns to get the dress, but she whispers. "This dress is so nice but you say it

doesn't suit you. Don't come in if you don't have money. What a bore!" Nina doesn't care. She has seen

too much contempt and indifference. Her heart has become very strong.

Nina goes to the fitting room and takes off the long dark green dress and puts on the short white dress.

She goes out to look at herself in front of the big mirror.

This is a strapless dress. It shows Nina's beautiful collarbone and long neck. It's a pity that the dress is

tight, which highlights her slightly bulging belly.

Nina shakes her head and goes back to the fitting room to take off her white dress and put on her own.

Nina feels a little tired. She takes her bag and prepares to go back.

Why hasn't Lucien come to pick her up yet? Nina whispers. He doesn't keep his promise!

Nina is going out of the store with her bag.

A sharp voice suddenly sounds behind her. "Stop! You thief!"

"Ah?" Nina's arm is held tight before she can react. The shop assistant catches up. Her eyes are wide

and fierce. She gnashes her teeth and shout, "you stole clothes and want to leave? No way!"

Her delicate face is very fierce at the moment. Nina can't help shivering, but she misunderstands it as

fear. She has pride in her eyes. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You! Open your bag and let me check it!" She says viciously, "you look like you can't afford it! You can't

steal it even if you can't afford it! You are shameless!"

Nina's a little bit confused.

The shop assistant grabs her arm ferociously. She is very sore. Nina is not polite, "what are you doing!

Let go of me!"

A shop assistant who looks a little gentler rushes to explain, "Miss, the dark green dress you just tried

is missing. You are the only one who has tried this dress just now. Please open your bag and let us

check it."
