Warren walked in from the doorway and put down the car keys. He looked at Penelope, who was standing on the stairs, and said, “Go get some of your clothes and give them to her to change into.”
Penelope looked at her. There is a bit of red wine on her dress. Because she wore beige, it totally stood out.
“Oh, well, please wait a minute.” She ran upstairs.
Katherine quickly stopped her with a smile, “It didn’t really matter. I can change it after I get back home.”
“Don’t you have dinner later?”
“Oh, yes, I almost forgot.” She patted her chest and suddenly remembered.
The strange thing is that the woman standing in front of him is Katherine, but he still sees the shadow of Penelope behind her.
This kind of lovely motion is not something that ordinary people can do skillfully.
He silently sighed, feeling a bit distracted. His aesthetic standard was compromised by Penelope.
Penelope bit her finger and looked at her unpresentable clothes, worried.
No matter which one she took out, it’s bound to dishonor her. What should she do? Can she simply say that she doesn’t have any dresses?
Penelope opened the door and saw Warren standing outside. She immediately blurted out, “I have no clothes!”
“What?”
“I don’t have any clothes to lend to her.”
He looked at her in confusion. “What are you wearing?”
“You let me take this one off and give it to her? Isn’t it too malicious?” Penelope is shocked.
Warren had become accustomed to the astonishing vocabularies that she burst out from time to time. She once said that he was cold. Now she said that he is malicious. When he really becomes the man she described one day, she will regret it.
Warren was magnanimous. “Just give her one that you usually wear.”
“But you used to say that my clothes are too raunchy. I’ll be a bit embarrassed if I lend it to her.” Penelope scratched her head awkwardly.
Katherine always wore a variety of high fashion clothes. If she wore Penelope’s cheap clothes, Penelope would feel a little embarrassed, even if she is such a thick-skinned woman.
Both of them are women, but the gap between them is like the swan and female hippopotamus, two different species in the biological world.
Warren finally realized what she thought.
He lifted his right hand and was about to touch her hair.
Penelope looked up and almost rolled her eyes.
His hand shifted a little to her shoulder. He patted slightly and said, “Do not humble yourself. You are actually very good.”
Penelope: “…” Is she self-contemptuous?
After that, he went to the end of the corridor and made a phone call. He might be calling someone to buy clothes. Penelope is caught in his inexplicable encouragement and confused.
What happened to Warren today? Is that the way he always encouraged his staff? This way… she has never seen it before!
When Penelope went downstairs again, Katherine had already left. Mrs. Brown told Penelope that Katherine was set to attend a departmental party.
Penelope sighed with both legs crossed and said, “It’s nice to have a job.”
Mrs. Brown hastily encouraged her with a smile, “Yes. Miss Foster had not only a wonderful background but also great abilities. She is really gorgeous.”
Penelope nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Brown quietly came to Penelope and said, “The most important thing is that Miss Foster has a deep affection for Mr. Duncan. They are well-matched!”
Penelope peeled an orange and gave it to Mrs. Brown. “Do you want it?”
“No, I don’t. Enjoy yourself and get more vitamins.”
Warren is dressed neatly in a white turtleneck sweater, which makes him look a little bookish. He walked downstairs with a coat jacket on his arm, like a male catwalk model.
“Sir, do you want to go out?” Mrs. Brown asked.
“We won’t come back for dinner in the evening, don’t worry about us.” He said. Then he lifted his chin and said, “Get dressed and go out with me.”
“Me?” Penelope pointed to herself out of confusion.
“Yes.”
“Go out for a good meal?” Penelope is excited, beginning to imagine all kinds of food.
“To buy clothes.”
****
Penelope thought that the reason why he asked her to go with him was that he wanted her to be his adviser and help him pick. Approaching a women’s clothing store, she is still lonely in her heart, I never knew this person had transvestites.
The store clerk came toward them. Warren pointed to Penelope and said, “Please choose a few clothes for her to try according to her figure.”
“A big spender has arrived.” The shopping guide secretly giggled in her mind. Specially inquiring about Penelope, she tried her best to serve Penelope as well as him so she could get a generous tip.
“What? Buy me clothes? I have no money” Penelope is shocked. She’s pushed to the dressing room by the shopping guide.
Penelope felt dizzy, confused as if she was in the script of an idol drama: a handsome and rich hero took the poor heroine to buy clothes and changed her wardrobe to impress the beauty’s heart. This way, no matter what this man would ask later, she can’t refuse. It is too appealing.
However, Penelope is not an ordinary woman. She worked hard at the bottom of society and grew up with bullying and oppression. Her heart is harder than the average person’s, and she is more able to withstand gunshots.
But sometimes it is softer…
For example, now.
She is standing in front of a huge mirror in a beautiful dress, and the light is less dazzling than her. The store clerk kept praising her overflowing beauty. Penelope stared at the woman in the mirror and didn’t doubt her words’ authenticity.
The tailor makes the man. This is true.
“I may not be able to afford it.” She said to the store clerk with an apologetic smile.
The store clerk didn’t feel discouraged but enthusiastically said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. You will always find the one you like if you try more clothes.”
This dress is really nice. Penelope hardened her heart and asked, “Could you please tell me how much it is?”
