Chapter 531
Calvin had not expected Rosalie to come to him first. After all, she always seemed to want to keep adistance from him.
But he was a little surprised when he found out why she had come.
“You want to attend the charity gala tonight?” Calvin asked.
“Yes. Can I?” Rosalie asked anxiously.
“Well, there’s no reason you can’t,” Calvin replied. “However, you must let me know your purpose. Afterall, you can’t be fangirling over some celebrities, right?”
Calvin thought, “Many top celebrities will attend the charity gala, which makes many stars want toparticipate. But if she’s indeed fangirling over some celebrities, maybe I can help her because anyonewho makes a living in the entertainment industry will more or less show me some respect.”
“I’d like to meet Warren and Irene. I heard they will be attending the charity gala tonight,” Rosalie said.
“Meet them?” A hint of doubt flashed across Calvin’s eyes. “They will indeed attend the charity gala, butwhat do you have to do with them?”
“It’s a personal matter, something to do with one of my friends.” Rosalie did not elaborate further.
“Okay, I’ll arrange it. Although we’re running against time, we should be able to make it,” Calvin said.
Confused, Rosalie thought, “Running against time? What does that supposed to mean?”
Half an hour later, she finally understood what Calvin meant by running against time. Calvinimmediately ordered someone to drive a minivan over and let the top makeup artist in Strico, Sam, get
her ready in the minivan.
“If you don’t dress up and instead show up at the charity gala in your current attire, you will attract moreattention,” Calvin explained.
Rosalie understood at events like that, everyone dressed formally, and her casual attire was indeed outof place. She had also arrived late to find Calvin, so now, she was doing her makeup and styling in theminivan on the way to the banquet.
“You sure know how to get me into trouble, making me come here to do her makeup! Is she your newgirlfriend?” Sam teased. He was obviously quite familiar with Calvin.
“No,” Calvin replied indifferently.
Sam had expected his reaction. After all, it wasn’t easy to become the new girlfriend of a scion likeCalvin.
Although the woman in front of them was quite good-looking, her beauty did not impress Sam. Besides,Sam had observed her hands, which had calluses and rougher skin than usual for women, with slightlymisshapen finger joints, indicating physical labor.
Sam seemed a little surprised. He did not know what kind of relationship Calvin and Rosalie had. Nomatter how he saw it, a woman with hands like hers was not likely to have a relationship with a scionlike Calvin.
While Sam was drawing eyebrows for Rosalie, the next thing Calvin said made his handshake/suddenly and almost caused a mistake.
Calvin said, “But she’s the one I love.”
Sam’s eyes widened immediately. He looked at Calvin and then at the woman in front of him. “Is shethe one Calvin loves? I remember that Calvin was interviewed on a talk show before, where he openlymentioned that there was someone he loved, but that person hadn’t accepted him yet. So… has thiswoman rejected Calvin’s pursuit?” he wondered.
“Did you reject Calvin?” Sam asked as he looked at Rosalie in surprise.
Rosalie was immediately embarrassed. After all, Calvin was standing right in front of her.novelbin
As Rosalie struggled to find the right words to respond, Sam had already continued applying makeupfor her. He commented, “You have courage. I’ve never seen a woman turn down Calvin’s advancesbefore.”
“You seem happy about it?” Calvin cast a glance at Sam.
“Who wouldn’t be? It’s something I’ve never seen before.” Sam grinned mischievously. His hands werestill busy as he smoothly worked on Rosalie’s makeup while they were chatting. Rosalie’s makeup andhair were done when they arrived at the banquet entrance.
“I didn’t prepare the gown. You said you’d prepare it,” Sam said as he looked at Calvin.
Calvin handed Rosalie a bag containing the gown. “The gown is inside. It should be your size. You canchange in the car. We’ll get out first.”
With that, he let everyone out of the minivan, leaving only Rosalie inside.
Rosalle opened the bag and looked at the gown inside. Immediately, her pupils suddenly contracted,and she felt a slight
warmth in her eyes.
It was a purple gown. On the hem were butterflies and flowers made of lace and crystals, just as Calvinhad told her when she was a child.
He had said that in the future, he would give her a purple gown with lots of little flowers on it.
Rosalie’s eyes were a little wet. She thought, “Even though he doesn’t know the truth, he still gives mea gown like this. It’s like he’s putting the promised gown in my hands, just like in our childhoodfantasies. Cal is really giving me a purple gown!”
Calvin could not help but be stunned when Rosalie opened the door and got out of the car wearing thegown.
He initially collected the gown, intending to give it to the little girl when he eventually found her.However, after he had found Fiona, he didn’t end up giving it away.
Calvin couldn’t explain why. Perhaps he felt that once he gave it away, he would shatter certainillusions he had held onto, even though he knew those illusions were nothing more than fantasies.
So Calvin later bought Fiona another purple gown. The one he originally collected was never given toFiona.
But that day, when Rosalie wanted to attend a charity gala, and Sam said he didn’t have a suitablegown, Calvin didn’t hesitate to have someone bring the gown from the closet.
Calvin was willing to let Rosalie wear the gift he had never given to Fiona.
At that moment, when Rosalie wore the gown and stood before Calvin, he had a sudden feeling that hisfantasy had become a reality.
It was as if the little girl in his dream truly appeared before him in the purple gown he had promised togive her.
It was so surreal that he couldn’t help but reach out and hug the person in front of him. It was as if hewas holding onto his former fantasy, his longing, and the memories that had stayed with him.
Rosalie was taken aback, but she didn’t push Calvin away. Perhaps it was because there was anunmistakable sense of caution in his embrace at that moment.
