Hearing the two people's exclamations, Sarah hesitantly opened her tightly closed eyes.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Sarah felt a moment of confusion.
"Is this... is this me?"
I couldn't help but curl my lips into a smile, placing my hands on her shoulders.
"Of course it's you. Look, how beautiful you are. This dress originally didn't suit you. Your waist is very slender, but the original design of this dress didn't showcase your strengths at all!"
Winter, standing nearby, looked at me with admiration and quickly took out her phone.
"Kathie, can I get your contact information? I want to order custom-made clothes from you in the future!"
Of course, I had to agree. Winter is the daughter of the Hayes family. If she wears clothes designed by me, it will be much easier for me to establish my brand in the future!
When I brought Sarah back to the hall, all eyes turned towards us.
There had been some unpleasantness earlier, but now, seeing the dress on Sarah, everyone looked amazed.
Even the man who brought Sarah was wide-eyed and then walked up, looking Sarah up and down.
For some reason, this man made me feel very uncomfortable.
The way he looked at Sarah was as if he was appraising a piece of merchandise!
I subtly pulled Sarah behind me, the smile on my face not reaching my eyes.
"Sir, may I know your name?"
The man cleared his throat and stood up straight.
"My name is Terry Lopez. I am the manager at StarBoost Media and Sarah's agent. Here is my business card."
There's a saying, don't make things difficult for polite people. Even though I was displeased with Terry, I couldn't directly express my dissatisfaction.
Even though I am "Mrs. Wilson" and have the confidence to flip the table at any time, I didn't want to make enemies for Howard.
Taking Terry's business card, I spoke calmly.
"I have high hopes for Miss Cooper. Mr. Lopez, would you be willing to let her accompany me for a while today?"
Terry hesitated for a moment but then agreed.
"Sarah, thank Mrs. Wilson."
Sarah, somewhat overwhelmed, quickly bowed to me.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wilson."
I reached out to help her up and turned to leave.
Leaving the noisy scene, I took Sarah to the garden at the back.
Along the way, looking at Sarah's features, I felt she resembled someone familiar, but I couldn't recall who at the moment.
In the pavilion in the garden, Sarah sat on a stone bench and sighed deeply.
"Thank you so much today, Mrs. Wilson. If it weren't for you, I don't know how Terry would have made things difficult for me."
My heart stirred slightly.
"Have you ever thought about changing jobs?"
Sarah gave a bitter smile.
"Of course I have, but I need money. My mom is waiting for money to save her life. Besides..."
The light in Sarah's eyes completely dimmed.
"Besides, I signed a ten-year labor contract with StarBoost Media. If I leave now, I have to pay a million dollars in breach of contract."
My heart ached, and I looked at Sarah with increasing pity.
Her current situation reminded me of my past self.
If I hadn't met Howard, I might have ended up in the same situation as Sarah.
I reached out and held Sarah's wrist, speaking softly.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
Sarah was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
