Another Chance for the Luna Queen novel

Chapter Chapter 0009 1 I settled on a color that I thought would complement my complexion .

It was a pretty emerald green tone .

I pulled the jacket out and held it up against myself .

Are you serious ? Amanda asked with a scoff .

If you want to blend in with the wallpaper , I guess thatll work .

You want something thatll have people talking .

I didnt , but I wasnt going to tell her that .

If I started acting completely differently too quickly , it would make people suspicious , especially David and Amanda .

For the time being , I had to play along .

This is why I need your help , I said as I put the jacket over my arm and grabbed a matching skirt in my size .

Ill keep this as a backup .

Youre not going to need it , Amanda said .

She turned and looked around the store slowly with her hands on her hips .

After looking for a moment , she gasped with excitement and rushed off toward the corner .

I followed after her slowly .

Lcould vaguely remember an outfit she had picked out for me around this time in our original timeline , and it was hideous .

I had a bad feeling that I was about to see that dress again .

My sense of dread was correct .

A moment later , Amanda was holding a neon pink strapless dress with a flowing skirt and flowers embroidered on the bodice with sparkly gemstones .

She waved it at me with a huge grin on her face .

This is perfect for you , she said .

It looks like your style , David agreed .

I hadnt even realized that he had walked up behind me until he spoke .

I could tell David hated my style , but he was trying to flatter me .

I used to think it was because he loved me , but actually it was because he needed to stay on my good side .

I could feel myself struggling to smile .

Are you sure ? I asked .

Just try it on and youll see , Amanda said , shoving the dress into my arms .

This isnt the kind of thing I ever would have argued with her about in the past , so I took the dress into the fitting ired it , and it was even worse than 1 remembered .

Then I tried the suit on ; it complimented my build well and It made me look a little bit older .

I would just buy both it was a simple solution .

I walked out with the suit , and I could see Amanda disappointed that I didnt step out of the fitting room wearing The dress , that I pretended not to notice .

She was having a very disappointing day , and it seemed it was starting to wear on her .

After all , so little of the tration tad bolely on her , even Davids attention ha mostly been focused on me since I met up with them .

* must have been divine bet crazy .

No I appstarted the checkout , Amanda grabbed me by the bow Are you really buying that suit ? she demanded .

| Casadaily pulled away on her grip and set the sonali pile of clothing next to the register t like it .

I sald wall it , Chapter 0000 +25 BONUS I could see the people around us turn to stare , and I understood immediately what Amanda was trying to do .

She was attempting to make me seem like someone who squandered resources and couldnt manage my money .

She wanted people to judge me negatively .

David was playing right along with her .

He let out a long sigh and reached for his wallet .

Its fine , he said .

My treat .

Here he was , coming into play as the doting fiancé who always went out of his way for his spoiled girlfriend .

The employee had walked up to the register .

When she saw David reaching into his wallet , she had a puzzled look on her face .

That wont be necessary , she said .

What do you mean ? David asked , frowning .

Dont you know ? All purchases for the Rowan family are covered today .

What ? David asked in shock .

Why ? my mother asked as she walked up beside me .

Alpha Alexander left messages with all of the stores this morning , the employee explained .

Whatever you need will be covered as a gift for the bride to be .
