Xie Eun sat in front of the mirror looking into the eyes that were once lively and full of hope. She cursed herself for being a fool before turning her eyes to look at the two masterpieces that hung before her.The dresses were the two options she had to wear tonight at her birthday ball..Or rather the birthday party that her beloved Si Jing had prepared for her.She looked at the two variations, trying to decide which was better.One of these was the dress that Si Jing had chosen for her.It was a custom made white, off shoulder dress with delicate pearl work and she knew, would make her look like an angel...That is what he said he wanted her to wear..

The second was a flaming red dress..It would cover her from neck to bottom..until she moved..the slit on the side was high up to the top of her thighs..giving a tantalizing glimpse of her long beautifully tanned legs..Ignoring the tug at her heart, Xie Eun picked up the red dress and went into the dressing room..She had no wish to look like an angel tonight...She turned twenty today and Si Jing and her grandmother had both indicated that they would have a surprise for her..Fortunately for her and unfortunately for her grandmother,,Aunt Su had been able to collect evidence against them..Even as she prepard for the party,she hoped that her Si Jing was not involved in this. ​​

Since returning from her home,she had been reluctant to participate in this party but Si Jing had been insistent...As she sat in the chair waiting for the stylist that Si Jing had arranged, she thought back to last week when she had just returned. Si Jing,the person whose every mood she knew like the back of her hand did not even realise the big difference in her.And she had kept quiet as she tried to come to terms with the truth of her relatives..Her father had had his reasons after all.And unlike the fact that she believed them to be his protectiveness,they were valid concerns..Her so called family had lost their chance and Si Jing had the final chance tonight to prove his loyalty.He had been talking big about his plans for tonight.How she would be the belle of the ball, and how he would be using this chance to introduce her to his parents and friends as the woman he loved..Her usually bright eyes seemed dull under the light as a knock sounded on the door.

The stylist entered the room and bowed deeply,"Hello,miss Xie..You are really a beautiful lady.."The stylist fawned over her and chatted carelessly about the different styles and makeup which would suit her. Xie Eun closed her eyes and concentrated on tonight's upcoming performance letting the stylist's voice play on as background music..

The stylist was a pleasant looking lady in her forties.In actual fact,she had once been someone who used to dress up famour celebrities but she had once offended a famous lady and thus been barred from working in the entertainment industry.She was an honest and talented person who had been forced to make a meagre living.She looked at the beautiful face in front of her and could only marvel..It wouldn't matter if she did not put on any makeup on the woman,she would look glamorous naturally..But,she would have looked prettier in the white dress, Mrs He felt.She had seen the dress being carried out of here by the housekeeper...This dress made her look like a Queen and the other one would make her look innocent like an angel..

But inarguably both the dresses failed in terms of beauty in front of the woman..Giving the final touches to the girl's high cheekbones,Mrs He stepped back..She was pleased that she had not lost her touch and she hoped that Master Wolf was not disappointed..When she had been offered to dress someone up in the high society and the price offered,she had hesitated.But when she headd of the name Wolf,she had been delighted at the opportunity.The name Wolf worked two ways-If the person was barred by Wolf then he would notfind employment ever again but for a person Wolf invited to work, no opportunities would be left..And the man had even told her that if she did well then she could be hired permanently..

When the young girl opened her glittering eyes,Mrs He who had worked with so many beauties felt her breath catch..So beautiful..But Mrs He also felt regret and could not stop asking,"Miss,please forgive my impudence but that white dress would have looked just as good on you..or even better..and it would have gone well with your innocent aura..then why would you choose this one.You look really beautiful in it but it gives off a dangerous vibe.."

Xie Eun smiled a little and looked at herself in the mirror..amazed at her own transformation..Yes that would have been the perfect dress for meeting her future in laws.. but tonight,she needed to teach someone about her true persona..Just because she had been emotionally weak,they thought that they could treat her like a door mat and step on her anytime they wished...Well soon they would learn their lesson..

Xie Eun's eyes met Mrs He's in the mirror and she said,"That dress was a gift from my fiance,Mrs He..And he had a specific style in mind for me.He even hired a stylist to dress me up..The stylist is downstairs and I have hired a model for the stylist to show their talent.So..if I like the look they created, I might just change...after all..it is my birthday ball..Mrs He, you are an expert in this field.Why don't you come along and help me judge.."
