Chapter 1149
Aleigha left the studio in advance to take her dress.
It was not haute couture, nor was it from some famous designer. It was the work of a young designer in this city.
Aleigha knew that the now unknown designer would make a splash in the world of fashion over the next two years. She had her own plans.
At eight o'clock in the evening, people arrived at the club one after another.
When Aleigha arrived in a taxi, she saw Emilia getting out of a limo in full dress.
The sky-blue dress was enough to make her the star of the evening.
Aleigha slowly withdrew her hand and said to the driver, "Sir, please drive me around. It's still early, and I'm in no hurry."
After circling a few times, Aleigha checked the time. It was precisely ten minutes after Emilia entered the club. She had the driver to drop her off at an empty place. "Al-Aleigha?"
As soon as she got off the car, she heard a surprised voice.
She turned around and couldn't help frowning as she saw the man.
"I didn't mean to get in your face."
Freddie couldn't take his eyes off her.
She cut a striking figure in her amazing dress and looked incredibly sexy. Her delicate make-up and waist-length black hair added to her charm.
She was too beautiful to be human.
Being stared at by Freddie, Aleigha felt a little uncomfortable. She walked to the club with her hemline up.
"Aleigha, I can help you with the hemline."
Freddie caught up with her and lifted the hemline of her dress.
"Hey, leave me alone." Aleigha flicked her hemline and walked away.
Freddie was both amused and annoyed. Was she mad at him? Why?
As soon as Aleigha entered the club, she felt everyone's eyes on her.
She took in a deep breath, ignored them, and walked into the banquet room.
As soon as she pushed the door open, she heard a cheer, and her body trembled subconsciously.
A dazzling light suddenly shone on her.
The room, which was noisy last second, suddenly became silent.
Aleigha closed her eyes with her hand and then slowly put it down.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. Some were amazed, some were envious, and some were angry.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly as she felt the various glances.
She was wearing a floor-length, graduated gown with tiny, hand-stitched diamonds.
Under the strong light, these diamonds would shine more brightly. The overall color of this dress was light blue, like the sky.
The clever tailoring flattered her figure, and her elegant manner stunned everyone.
This dress was made for her.
Someone posted a photo of the dress online, and it went viral all over the city.
Emilia stood in the crowd, her eyes full of viciousness.
She was supposed to be the focus of the party. Why did Aleigha steal everyone's attention?
"Aleigha, wait!"
Freddie rushed over and stood next to Aleigha. He caught everyone's attention again, and some even began to whistle. "Wow, Freddie, go and take her hand!"
"Mr. Woods, go for it!"
"Come on, Mr. Woods!"
Aleigha pressed her lips together and said nothing. But she was kind of angry.
Freddie hurriedly explained with an innocent look on his face, "Shut up, you guys!" Aleigha walked in and sat down in a corner under everyone's gaze.
As soon as she entered the club, she found that someone had made a block booking.
The club was a five-story detached villa, and the first floor was the banquet room. The rest should be for entertainment and accommodation. Whoever booked this place must be loaded.
"Sis, you look gorgeous." Emilia came over and sat down beside her.
Aleigha raised her head to look at her and smiled. "You're the star of the night."
"Sis, what brand of dress are you wearing? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Aleigha looked mysterious as she leaned close to Emilia's ear. "It's not a brand. I bought it for 10,000 bucks from an unknown designer."
Hearing this, Emilia gave an imperceptible sardonic smile. As she expected, even with money, Aleigha was still poor at heart.
"I see. I guess this designer is very talented." Emilia had known that Aleigha wouldn't wear anything fancy, and she despised her even more. Still, she kept praising Aleigha.
"Lady, may I have this dance?"
Someone said to Aleigha. Only then did she realize that there was a dance.
However...
"Sorry, I can't dance."
She really didn't know how to dance.
Emilia looked shocked. She covered her mouth and said exaggeratedly, "Sis, you don't know how to dance?" Was it strange?
Aleigha remembered that Adrian didn't know how to dance, either. Her face turned cold at the thought of him.
The look on the face of the man who asked her to dance became very strange. He said sorry and left in a hurry. Aleigha breathed a sigh of relief.
No man ever asked her to dance again. They all asked Emilia.
As soon as Emilia got up and left, Aleigha looked around the crowd. If she remembered correctly, she had seen some people who didn't look like students when she came in. Although they were also wearing formal clothes, they were acting so grown-up.
She'd better be careful.
She used the opportunity of getting food to walk back and forth among the crowd. Sure enough, she saw them again.
When they met her eyes, they hurriedly looked away.
Knowing that, she went to the bathroom alone.
A man came up to her. She was thinking about something so she didn't notice it. He staggered and bumped into her.
She lost balance and fell backward, luckily the man grabbed her.
Aleigha came to her senses and found that the man was Adrian.
Adrian looked down at the woman in his arms, and there was nothing but shock in his eyes!
"Ad-Adrian, why are you here?"
Adrian shook his head, trying to sober himself up. He looked at her again, and found it was indeed Aleigha.
"Why are you here?"
Aleigha thought of her current situation and hurriedly got up. "If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go."
She absolutely could not let Adrian know why she was here.
But wasn't this place booked?
The Xiao family owned this club?
"This is my club. Can't I be here?"
She knew it!
