His Son, My Enemy I She was so thin she barely looked human

Chapter 13 Chapter 13 ... : 75 55 vouchers Her triumphant smile froze , like a hand had gripped her throat . " You're her stylist ? " she asked . The Head Stylist kept her polite smile and answered " Of course , Miss . " She didn't even know her ? How it could be ? Could Xylia Schultz even afford this ? Tessa's voice went hoarse . She pointed at Xylia , finger trembling . " You sure you're not mixing us up ? We're both Schultz - maybe I'm the Ms. Schultz you mean ? " The Head Stylist kept smiling and replied . " No mistake . Ms. Schultz is our top - tier member ." Top - tier member ?

Tessa's eyes widened . How could that be ? That level meant spending at least millions of dollars just to qualify . Even Xylia was surprised . She glanced up at the Head Stylist - who winked at her . A friend's pull was that strong ? Was Joshua Garcia really just an ordinary man ? But the memory of their bitter days abroad was still fresh - if Joshua was rich or powerful , why would he have suffered with her abroad ? She pushed the thought aside , smiling at the Director . " I'm in a hurry . Please , let's start . " Ignoring Tessa's simmering anger , she began the makeup .

As she worked , she marveled at her skin . " Ms. Schultz , you're lovelier than any star I've seen . You really should dress up more . " The Head Stylist said with a sigh . " We've done makeup for countless celebrities - but on you , it's perfect ." Looking at her reflection , Xylia felt a pang . 11:45 Wed , Sep 10 Chapter 13 75 55 vouchers She'd stood out since she was a child - in the plain - faced Schultz family , she stood head and shoulders above the rest . People had whispered she didn't look like one of them . To avoid standing out , she only wore makeup for dance performances .

Most days she dressed loose , eyes lowered - dulling her own beauty . Even so , she never fit in with this family . Later , she got married . Casual clothes were suitable for staying at home and taking care of children . Working at the hospital never required her to stand out , and the low - key style had simply become a habit . By the time Xylia was done , Tessa had tried several dresses . But no matter how many times she tried , nothing satisfied her . Seeing Xylia - cool and stunning - made her clench her teeth .

She was already good - looking , but now with makeup her beauty was breathtaking . At the sight of Xylia's gown , Tessa's expression shifted . She gave a short hum , chin lifting toward her . " I want to try that one on . " The stylist was in a dilemma . " Miss , that dress might not suit you . " Tessa only laughed , stepped to Xylia , and patted her shoulder . " Xylia , let me try your dress ." Xylia raised her eyebrow . " You know , you used to dance , but it's been almost a decade . This cut takes real poise ." She chuckled . " I'm afraid you can't pull it off . Your poise is ... average .

And you're a bit heavier than me . " Actually , Xylia had lost a lot of weight after three months in prison . Only her fuller bust made her look curvier than Tessa . She didn't bother arguing . Truth was , she found the dress too dull . Thus , she turned to change it in the fitting room . 11:45 Wed , Sep 10 Chapter 13 75 55 vouchers The Head Stylist stopped her , handing her a dress still in its box . " This is the pride of our store , Ms. Schultz . Please try it . " Xylia took it and changed . When she stepped out of the fitting room , the Head Stylist's breath caught .

It was by Cathy , the most renowned designer in fashion - almost no one could wear it well . But Xylia did . That fragile , reborn air about her matched the gown perfectly . Even the scar on her wrist read like a unique mark . " Absolutely stunning , " the Head Stylist breathed . " Like a work of art . " Xylia felt somewhat uneasy . She'd studied art , so she could get the design . But wearing it , she felt a chill behind her waist and chest and the bare skin made her extremely uncomfortable . Tessa looked her over and gave a cold laugh .

She grabbed that dress and strode to the fitting room . " Maybe it's my personality . I don't like this girly stuff - catering excessively to men . I can't stand it . I prefer high - fashion dressing like a man - conservative . All this bare chest and cleavage ... not my style ." But when she emerged and stood beside Xylia , she looked out of place . Next to Xylia's bright gown , hers looked dull and lifeless . A young assistant frowned . " Huh ... This dress looked classy on Ms. Schultz at the first - but now ... " Tessa's smile stiffened .

She stormed off to change again , leaving the room in a scowl . Outside , Xylia heard her clearly , " There's nothing I like . Let's go . " A man's voice answered , " Is there any dress you don't look good in ? Fine . I'll stay as long as you want . " The man's voice cold , yet tender . 11:45 Wed , Sep 10 Chapter 13 Xylia frozed , then sighed . Eight years together , she knew that voice . The man with Tessa was Connor Ford . 75 55 vouchers In eight years , he'd never once shopped with her - but with Tessa , he had the patience to spare . Inside , the young assistant sighed . " Ms.

Schultz and her husband are really close . He comes with her every time . "
