Three days later, the statement about Floyd Group deciding to work with Azalea as their brand ambassador was officially being released. In addition to having a formal signing ceremony, Callum had also decided on behalf of the company in organizing a glamorous celebration event for her in the evening.
Azalea was feeling over the moon upon receiving such pieces of news. She felt satisfied when Callum had personally promised her to attend the signing event. She was pleasantly surprised by the celebration event as this would be a turning point for her. The public would eventually be aware of Azalea’s power upon having the Floyd family as her triumph card. She assumed that she would soon be making fortunes as her schedule would be packed with commercials and entertainment shows.
Azalea did not think twice and immediately told Meadow about it. Meadow was feeling overjoyed and said, “Azalea, you will be rich soon. You must not turn a blind eye on me, okay?”
“That is definitely not going to happen. You are like a mother to me deep down inside my heart. I can turn my back against everyone apart from you. There is no way that I can forget how good you have treated me!” Azalea promised her.
“I always have faith in you to become a successful person. You have prepared your dress and jewelry, haven’t you?” Meadow’s attitude was much more affectionate than before.
“I’m afraid not. I neither have any savings nor does my aunt. She suggested to me in borrowing her old outfit and jewelry.” Azalea’s tone had hints of disappointment.
“How can you wear outdated dress and accessories on such an important occasion?” Meadow swiftly proposed, “Azalea, why didn’t you tell me about it in advance? I would be able to lend you a helping hand in ordering a tailor-made dress for you. This plan is out of the window as there is no time left. However, there is always a way out and I can arrange this matter accordingly. Do have faith in me as I will prepare the perfect dress and accessories for you!”
“But… Don’t you think that this is rather far-fetched? This does not cost a dime!” Azalea had called her with this purpose in mind. She felt relieved when Meadow had decided to help her out. However, she needed to be humble by pretending to refuse Meadow’s idea.
“I can assure you that this does not cost a fortune. Besides, don’t you know how important you are to me? Do leave things to me and I will get it done as soon as possible! I will also hire a makeup artist for you to complete your look in wearing the dress and jewelry. Rest assured as I will schedule an appointment with the best makeup professional in the industry. I sincerely hope that you can steal the spotlight when your big day comes!”
“Well then, I shall humbly accept your idea. Meadow, thank you so much!” Azalea replied.
Azalea felt embarrassed upon thinking about wearing Emily’s old-fashioned outfit to the event. Besides, it was impossible for Emily to have any valuable jewelry. However, it was a different ballgame compared to Meadow as she was married to the Davis family. The outfit that Meadow suggested to prepare would definitely be much better quality compared to Emily. The accessories would also be gorgeous and stand out from the crowd.
Meadow was also very considerate in promising to hire a professional makeup artist for her.
Azalea felt that Meadow had been treating her very kindly. Meadow was much better compared to Azalea’s mother and aunt. Azalea was feeling grateful and said, “Meadow, I am indebted by your compassion! I will not forget you when my life changes for the better in the future. I promise to repay the things that you have done for me!”
“Well then, you need to stick to your words, okay?” Meadow casually continued, “My biggest wish is you taking Michael’s hand in marriage and eventually become the wife of the Davis family!”
“I would love to as well, but Michael…” Azalea was feeling depressed upon thinking about it.
Meadow comforted her, “Michael is a dense person and can’t see your attractive personality yet. You need to be patient and he will soon come to the realization.”
Meadow was obviously very pleased with Azalea judging by her tone. Azalea was initially worried that Meadow would give her the cold treatment when things were rough for her. She then felt relieved as Meadow had never once given up on her.
“Meadow, Michael would be attending the celebration tonight, wouldn’t he?”
“Definitely. The Floyd family has just sent an invitation to him. Michael will have to attend it without risking the disruption of relationship that he has with the Floyd family.”
“That’s great to hear.” Azalea was reassured and eventually bid goodbye to Meadow in a joyful tone.
Azalea was in a good mood after ending the phone call with Meadow. The things that she was worried about had eventually been solved. She imagined herself to be breathtakingly beautiful in the signing event tomorrow. Her name would then undoubtedly be the number one most-searched name on the internet. She would also receive the spotlight in the celebration party that would be held in the evening.
Azalea was lost in her thoughts and the doorbell suddenly rang. It was Emily who had returned home.
Azalea immediately got up and greeted her aunt. “Aunt Emily, where have you been?”
“I managed to squeeze out some time in making a trip back to Misurton.” Emily was seen holding a few bags in her hand while grinning.
Azalea’s gaze focused on the bags that were held by Emily and it looked like some kind of clothing in them. Did Emily head back just to bring the old-fashioned outfit here?
Emily immediately gave the bags to her and said, “Azalea, this is the dress that I have brought back for you. Do open the bag and have a look at it!”
“Well…” Azalea unwillingly received the bag but refused to open it. Emily ignored the reluctant look on her face and proceeded to take out a jewelry box from the bag. “Azalea, this is the jewelry that I have promised in lending to you.”
“Aunt Emily, did you go back to Misurton just to retrieve these?” Azalea had a forceful smile on her face and continued speaking, “Why didn’t you tell me about it in advance? Meadow had already decided to prepare my outfit and jewelry for my big day.”
“Did Mrs. Davis suggest this idea on her own?” Emily was taken aback and said, “Don’t you think that it’s rather inappropriate for her to spend a fortune in it?”
“I don’t see any fault in this matter as I’m not taking advantage of her. I had promised to repay the favor after I have made my pot of gold,” Azalea swiftly explained herself as she was afraid that Emily would be displeased upon hearing about it.
“I see.” Emily sighed and continued speaking, “Do have a glance at the dress and accessories that I have brought for you then.”
Azalea was not looking forward to it but Emily was currently with her. She reluctantly opened the bag as Emily was very persistent about it. The dress was rather old-fashioned but the material was of high quality. Azalea was not a fan of the dress as it was not made by a famous designer. She unwillingly gazed through the dress and said, “It’s a rather great outfit. However, I have already promised Meadow to help me out in this matter. I’m afraid that I can’t wear this tomorrow…”
Emily’s eyes were filled with disappointment. She assumed that Azalea would be over the moon upon seeing such a glamourous outfit. It was a customized dress that Callum had gifted Emily but she did not have the chance to wear it. Emily had chosen this outfit as she wanted to lend Azalea a helping hand.
Callum had made great efforts by giving Emily a tailor-made dress. He would definitely pay more attention to Azalea if he saw her wearing the familiar clothing. It was a pity that Azalea did not understand what was going through Emily’s mind.
Emily was secretly feeling depressed and said, “Do have a look at the jewelry and see which of them catches your eye.”
Azalea then opened the accessory box. She glanced at it and saw that the diamonds were shining brightly.
Azalea would be lying if she claimed to be uninterested upon seeing the gorgeous and sizeable matching jewelry package. However, she was very confident that Emily was not a wealthy person. This set of diamond jewelry was not genuine and it must be made with artificial gemstones.
Azalea was not foolish enough to embarrass herself by wearing some counterfeit accessories. She thought to herself and eventually closed the jewelry box. “I don’t think that it’s a good idea in wearing such valuable accessories. Aunt Emily, I shall return it back to you for now. I will lend it from you if there is a need for me to use them in the future.”
Emily was not a naive person and knew what was Azalea thinking judging by her tone and expression. She was feeling discouraged and disappointed upon coming to the realization.
It was a matching set that consisted of a necklace, earring, bracelet, and ring. This was also gifted by Callum that cost him a fortune. Emily felt perplexed upon seeing Azalea so disinterested in them.
Well, fine then. Emily decided to cherish it herself since Azalea was not a fan of it.
