Riches in Disguise

As soon as Felicia walked into the fitting room, I quietly informed the saleswoman of my identity.

After confirming it, the saleswoman bowed her head. "Mr. White, we welcome you to review the operations at our branch. The store manager is currently checking inventory in the warehouse and will be here shortly!"

"There's no need for the manager to be here. Just help me pick out a few outfits."

"Of course!"

Before she left, I added, "Oh, and don't let my friend know about my identity. Keep it low-key, and don't show it."

The saleswoman smiled sweetly as she made an "okay" hand gesture. "Don't worry. I understand!"

Moments later, Felicia stepped out of the fitting room.

I was instantly awestruck. She was already stunning in the outfit I bought her on the fly last time, but this time, her elegance was on a whole different level while she was in that short, sky-blue dress.

The spaghetti strap design accentuated her delicate shoulders and her shapely figure.

Her slender, fair limbs made certain parts of her body look even more prominent as if her curves were almost too developed.

Her lush hair cascaded down her back, and with those black-framed glasses still on, she exuded an unexpected blend of sexiness and charm.

The only thing that didn't match her look was her old, worn-out sneakers.

I quickly turned to the saleswoman. "Find her a pair of matching high heels."

While the saleswoman went to get the high heels, I approached Felicia and gently took off her glasses.noveldrama

"I told you last time to change your glasses. Why are you still wearing these?" Seemingly shy, Felicia said, "I got these when I was still a sophomore in high school. They cost over 300 dollars, and I've grown attached to them."

Just as she finished speaking, the door to another fitting room opened, and out walked someone I recognized.

It was Lina. She had dyed her hair a chestnut brown, styled in loose, bouncy curls. Her rosy, full lips looked glossy, and combined with her bright eyes, she looked charming and cute.

However, a flash of malice crossed her gaze when she saw me and Felicia. "William!"

I frowned. "Why are you shouting? I'm not deaf, you know."

"What are you doing here?" Lina asked with a puzzled expression. Her eyes then shifted to Felicia, and when she saw the dress, she couldn't hide her amazement.

"That dress is gorgeous! How come I didn't notice it before?" She glanced at Felicia as she spoke, and her expression turned disdainful. "What a waste for it to be worn by someone like you."

Felicia trembled, her lips quivering in anger.

At that moment, the saleswoman returned with the high heels. "Miss, would you like to try these on? They're a limited edition and go well with many outfits."

She then knelt down to help take off Felicia's shoes.

"N-no! It's fine!" Felicia tried to stop her, but it was too late. The saleswoman had already removed her sneakers, revealing the holes in her worn-out socks.

"Pfft! Hahaha! Felicia, are you trying to kill me with laughter? Did you come to Silence wearing socks with holes?

"Aren't you embarrassed? If I were you, I'd want to crawl into a hole. Oh, I have to take a picture and post this on my socials," Lina said.

She pulled out her phone to snap a shot of Felicia, but I quickly blocked her

camera.

"William, what are you doing?" she snapped.

After snatching her phone, I knelt down beside Felicia. As I gently held her foot, I began taking off her socks.

To my surprise, underneath those shabby socks were the most delicate, fair feet I'd ever seen. They were gorgeous.

I often heard people talking about stunning legs, but I had never really understood the hype until now. Felicia's feet were just perfect.
