Chapter 45 Vivian reacted quicker than Larissa . She grabbed the latter's hand and studied her briefly , nodding . " Of course . " To Larissa , she said , " Go pick out a few gowns that you like . " She waved her hand generously . " The clothes on this floor are all high - end customized designs from major brands over the years . Take your pick . " " High - end customized designs " meant that these clothes were haute couture- clothes that represented the pinnacle of fashion design . Many superstars always wore high - end customized gowns with pride - even if they were out of season - to attend major events . And whether or not they wore haute couture , the choice of the brand , when the clothing was released , and the haute couture of a specific season- all became ways for celebrities to compete with each other . Larissa felt that she was dreaming - no , she could not possibly even be dreaming about this . She really wanted to ask , " Can I really pick whatever I want ? " but was afraid that the question would expose her lack of exposure to high society . So , she forced herself to look nonchalant , and answered with a soft hum , her chin slightly raised . Vivian explained to her . " The clothes closer to us are the latest designs . " Larissa made another noise of affirmation with a poker face . Vivian then asked Kevan , " Mr. Shields , do you prefer to have a seat and wait here , or … Kevan cut her off . " I'll pick with her . " Larissa jolted and turned to look at him in surprise . Kevan looked straight into her eyes and said , " I don't trust your eye for beauty . " There was a hint of scorn in his voice . Larissa really wanted to give him a good shake by the shoulders and scream , " Didn't you just say that the outfit ' doesn't have to be too pretty ' ?! Shouldn't my shitty ' eye for beauty ' fulfill that requirement of yours then ?! " But she restrained herself . She even forced herself to squeeze out a very dry smile and said , " I suppose I will have to trouble you , Mr. R- Shields . " There were so many gowns here that Larissa was completely dazzled . She had never ever had difficulty in choosing anything before , but now that she had experienced this , she did . She drifted between the rows of clothes , feeling that they were all so nice and pretty , and she did not know which one she wanted . Kevan , on the other hand , was more decisive than her . He just looked at the latest designs from the current season and picked the one he thought was pretty . He removed the item in question from the clothes rack and draped it over his arm . Soon , he had a píle in his arms . " Try these , " he said to Larissa , who took them from him . Just as she was about to head over to the fitting room that was segregated by a curtain , she heard a commotion from downstairs . " Ms. Gallagher , you can't go to the third floor ! Why don't you explore the second floor first ? We've had a batch of new arrivals recently , no one has rented them yet ! " " Why can't I go up to the third floor ?! I've only ever chosen clothes from the third floor ! Who cares if the clothes are new in the second ? I refuse to wear anything that isn't haute couture ! " " But the third floor has been reserved … It was booked several days ago . If you really insist on going up to the third floor , could you please wait for a while ? Once that customer leaves , I'll take you up . " " Reserved ? Who made the booking ? How much was paid for it ? I'll give twice that/ amount . Get whoever the hell it is down right now ! " " Ms. Gallagher , it's not an issue of money … We are a business ; we can't be unreliable . " I don't care . I want to go up to the third floor ! Where's Vivian ? I'm done with you . Get Vivian out here to see me ! " " She's styling for the customer now , I'm afraid she doesn't have time to see you . " " Fine then , if she doesn't come to me , I'll go to her instead ! "
