Chapter 61: Chapter 61: The Goddess Herself
If it weren’t for her agreeing to be his female companion, these dresses would be chosen by another woman.
Ivana Monroe felt a bit uncomfortable inside, but thought it unnecessary. If even the dresses made her uncomfortable, how would she face so many strange looks while being his female companion tonight?
Leon Keane glanced at the dresses in the salesperson’s hands with his dark eyes, frowning slightly, and said, "These dresses don’t suit her. Bring out the exclusive collection of your store this year."
The salesperson was taken aback: "President Kane, there’s only one exclusive dress, and the BOSS said it’s not for sale at any price."
Leon Keane pursed his thin lips, didn’t waste words with the salesperson, took out his phone, and dialed a number.
The person on the other end answered joyfully, "Darling..."
Leon coldly interrupted him, "I want the exclusive dress from your store, I’ll give you a blank check, fill in the price as you like."
The opposite side said, "Darling, don’t do this, you know I don’t lack money. The craftsmanship of the exclusive dress is complex, I started booking it last year, and the crafting process takes three months..."
Leon said, "Don’t waste words with me, I want the exclusive dress, talk to the salesperson."
Leon handed the phone to the salesperson.
The salesperson took his expensive phone, her fingers trembling: "BOSS, this is Maria, oh... okay, I got it."
The salesperson carefully returned the phone to Leon: "President Kane, this lady, please wait. I’ll bring out the exclusive collection right away."
The salesperson ran upstairs, in the transparent circular glass display case, the mannequin was wearing a burgundy evening gown, focused lights shining on it, waves shimmering, displaying utmost dignity as if the mannequin was the leading lady today.
The salesperson professionally and cautiously removed the dress from the mannequin and brought it downstairs to show Leon Keane and Ivana Monroe.
"President Kane, this is our exclusive collection this year, named ’Goddess.’ It’s said that whoever wears it will become the brightest focus of the evening, the goddess in every man’s eyes."
"Mm, this one is okay. Take her to try it on."
Exaggeration was a common sales technique for the salesperson, Leon didn’t think a dress would be as miraculous as described, he just found the dress pleasing to the eye, and the color matched Ivana’s fair complexion.
The salesperson’s lightly made-up face stiffened a bit. In their hearts, ’Goddess’ was an irreplaceable priceless treasure, what does ’okay’ mean? They felt indignant.
The salesperson’s gaze shifted to Ivana Monroe’s face, with exquisite features, bright and translucent skin, and a great figure.
The salesperson’s eyes gleamed, offering a polite smile, "Ma’am, the fitting room is over here, please."
Ivana said nothing, followed the salesperson to the fitting room, put on ’Goddess’ as if completing a task.
Ivana Monroe came out of the fitting room.
The salesperson serving outside the fitting room was stunned, dumbfounded looking at Ivana as if watching fireworks blooming, instantly colorful and dazzling.
Beautiful, this is too beautiful, the real embodiment of the goddess.
The salesperson proudly led Ivana to Leon Keane.
Leon Keane casually had one hand in the pocket of his trousers, accidentally saw Ivana approaching him, and he was utterly stupefied. The dress seemed tailor-made for Ivana, wrapping her exquisite curves. A wide single strap hung on her left shoulder, revealing the entire snowy right shoulder, sexy yet still graceful, making one think she was an untouchable goddess. The tilted skirt design was just right, exposing one knee and slender leg, while the other concealed within the skirt, subtly appearing.
This dress had no dazzling diamonds, but on Ivana Monroe, it seemed to reveal the soul of the dress, breathtakingly beautiful.
"President Kane, are you satisfied?" The salesperson saw Leon’s enchanted gaze, her mouth raised high with pride.
"Very satisfied." Leon’s thin lips slightly lifted, generously offering praise.
Ivana’s delicate face flushed suddenly.
Ivana was about to change out when Leon held her arm, her smooth and silky skin controlled in his palm, feeling extremely pleasant, even a current piercing into his palm, numbing and quickening the heartbeat.
Leon calmly said, "No need to change, your hairstyle is awful, come with me to get a new hairstyle. The time for the evening banquet is almost here."
Ivana frowned, changing clothes takes just a few minutes, what’s the conflict with getting a hairstyle?
Leon took Ivana’s hand and started walking.
Ivana felt very uncomfortable being pulled like this, she swung her arm and reached to push his hand, saying urgently, "My clothes, my clothes haven’t been taken. Leon, let go of me."
The salesperson quickly ran to arrange Ivana’s clothes left in the fitting room, but heard Leon say.
"Forget them, the expensive dress I gifted you outclasses those shabby clothes by miles." Leon released her arm, grasping her hand, accidentally intertwining his fingers with hers, holding tightly.
He liked seeing her wear this unique dress, gifted by him.
"My clothes aren’t shabby, they’re still seventy percent new, let go of me, allow me to go back and get them. Leon... you’re too overbearing..." Ivana was forcibly taken away, sulkily, her small face seemed infused with energy, cheeks glowing and radiant under the sunlight.
Leon slightly smirked, watching her angry little face, unable to look away, even wanting to taste that moving little mouth, what to do?

Wellbright Kindergarten.
Robin Alden apologized to Timmy Monroe in the afternoon, during the nap time after lunch for Class 2 students, and pretended to criticize Franklin Young.
Robin was pretending, but Franklin didn’t know! He took it seriously, especially being scolded by Aunt Robin in front of the whole class, it was too humiliating. He immediately burst into tears, pounding the table, throwing toys, threatening to go home and tell his mom to hit Robin.
Robin hurriedly pulled the tantrum-throwing Franklin into her arms, his fists hitting her a few times, Robin felt the pain but didn’t reprimand Franklin, instead asking other children to nap first, as she intended to bring Franklin into the office for punishment.
Last time, Franklin, for not apologizing, was taken into the office by Robin and heard classmates mocking him behind his back. This time, he was publicly criticized by Robin again and about to be taken into the office for punishment. Wouldn’t classmates laugh at him behind his back even more?
"I don’t want to go to the office, I did nothing wrong, I hate you, Robin Alden, you’re not my aunt. I’ll tell mom and grandma that you bully me at school..."
Robin had a terrible headache, deeply feeling Franklin was a spoiled child, but she had no solution for him. He was the precious darling of the Young family and her sister.
