As soon as these words were spoken, both Lance and Xavier's expressions changed.
Especially Xavier, who was visibly excited.
He beamed and said, "Dr. Deanna, thank you so much!"
"Well then, let's go get styled first."
Deanna nodded lightly, and the group descended the mountain.
Lance led Deanna to a boutique.
As soon as they reached the entrance, an air of elegance and subtlety enveloped them.
The store was exquisitely decorated, filled with evening gowns of various styles and colors.
Deanna swallowed hard; just looking at them, she could sense their immense value.
Soon, a woman came out to greet them.
"Who is it?"
The woman had a curvaceous figure, accentuated by a tight evening gown that highlighted her slender waist.
She had a beautiful oval face and stunning features.
Seeing Lance, she smiled brightly, her beauty even more radiant.
"Oh, what brings you here today?"
It was no wonder she was surprised; Lance rarely visited this place.
Ignoring her teasing, Lance said, "Aunt, could you help her with a makeover?"
At this address, Deanna was momentarily stunned.
She scrutinized the woman in front of her, trying to find any resemblance between them.
It was shocking because the woman looked so young, only two or three years older than Lance at most.
How could she be Lance's aunt?
The woman's name was Amy Mercer, a fashion designer.
Years ago, she had founded her own brand specializing in high-end gowns.
Hearing Lance's request, Amy finally noticed the girl beside him.
A girl with Lance! What a rare sight.
Amy smiled and let out a soft exclamation.
She narrowed her eyes and began to appraise Deanna.
Despite her ordinary clothes, Deanna exuded a calm and dignified aura. Her delicate features made her stand out.
Unfazed by Amy's scrutiny, Deanna smiled and greeted her.
"Hello."
This action caught Amy's attention.
She couldn't help but admire Deanna and nodded approvingly. "What a beautiful girl!"
Amy agreed immediately. "Alright, leave it to me."
She then pulled Deanna into the inner room.
Inside was another world, with walls lined with limited-edition hairstyles and various gowns. Deanna was dazzled by the array.
Amy smiled. "Girl, do you want to choose yourself or let me help you?"
There were too many gowns to choose from.
Without hesitation, Deanna said, "You pick for me."
There were just too many options for her to bother choosing.
Amy nodded. "Okay."
She paused briefly in front of the gowns before picking the light blue evening gown at the top.
"This one!"
The light blue evening gown was exceptionally beautiful.
The skirt featured exquisite embroidery and unique light blue patterns. The design was meticulous.
Amy brought the gown to Deanna.
"This gown is one of my prized creations. Many people have wanted it, but I never gave it away. But from the moment I saw you, I knew it was perfect for you!"
"Take it and try it on."
Deanna hadn't expected the gown to be so significant. Suddenly, it felt heavy in her hands.
She nodded. "Alright."
After changing into the gown, Deanna stepped out of the fitting room and was stunned by her reflection in the mirror.
The gown's design perfectly accentuated her charm.
The thigh-high slit highlighted Deanna's stunning figure.
Light blue was a tricky color; it could easily look cheap if not worn well.
But on Deanna, it exuded an indescribable elegance.
She swallowed hard; it was the first time she had seen herself like this.
Beside her, Amy was already thrilled.
When she designed this gown, this was exactly the effect she had envisioned!
She pulled Deanna over and said, "Don't rush to look now. Come, let's do your hair and makeup first."
Everyone loves beauty.
Especially Amy.
The more she looked at Deanna, the more satisfied she felt.
Up close, Deanna's fair skin was flawless. Amy quickly asked, "Girl, how do you usually take care of your skin? It's so good. Do you have any secrets?"
Deanna thought for a moment. "For skincare, there's no special secret. I often use herbs for external application and health maintenance. It's good for the skin."
"Aunt, if you like, I can prepare some for you later."
