Everly opened the jewelry box and put on the entire set.
Once she was ready, she stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Despite dressing up, she did not find herself particularly beautiful. She still felt more comfortable in her usual androgynous clothes.
Sometimes, she even felt that she lacked femininity.
Perhaps there was some truth to what those men claimed when she turned them down.
She got to her feet, left the lounge, and walked over to Sonny. "Mr. Brown, I don't look embarrassing, do I? My grandfather picked out this gown for me, but I just don't feel comfortable wearing it."
Sonny gave a once-over and complimented her. "Not at all. Seeing you in a dress is quite a pleasant surprise. This look is completely beyond what I imagined."
"I rarely wear formal dresses. I'm just used to wearing suits."
"Wear them a few more times, and you'll get used to it. You look great. I'm not merely flattering you either. You really are beautiful tonight. I guarantee you'll be the most eye-catching woman at the banquet."
Everly smiled. "You're just trying to make me feel better. I know how I look."
She picked up her handbag and said, "Let's go steal the limelight together."
"My pleasure."
Sonny stood up and left the office with her.
Sarah had not gone home yet. Since her boss was still there, she did not dare to leave first.
When the office doors opened, Sarah instinctively looked over. When she saw her boss wearing a white strapless evening gown, adorned with jewelry, her eyes instantly widened.
Everly's tall, slender figure and elegant bearing made Sarah blink several times. She could not believe that the woman standing before her was actually her boss.
She never expected Everly to look so beautiful when she dressed up. Who said her boss was not feminine? Look how beautiful she was now.
Standing beside Sonny, the two of them looked like a perfect match. They looked incredibly pleasing to the eyes.
"Ms. Flemming," Sarah greeted.
Everly nodded. The familiar aloofness immediately returned to her expression.
Sarah thought her boss looked even more captivating that way. That cool, distant air could really awaken a man's desire to win her over.
She was sure Everly would draw a crowd of interested suitors after tonight. This time, the men pursuing her would not only be interested in the Flemmings' fortune, but also in Everly.
Everly's usual androgynous style often caused people to mistake her for a man. Outsiders always said she lacked femininity, calling her a tomboy and overly domineering.
Even the male employees at the company privately made similar comments among themselves.
However, that was only because
Everly could not be bothered to dress
Now that she actually putt some effort into her appearance, she was so beautiful that it was
difficult to look away.
Sonny shared a subtle glance with Sarah before glancing at Everly. Sarah instantly
understood what he meant. She giggled quietly and gave him a thumbs up.
Kaden was truly clever. By having
Sonny deliver the gown to Everly, he made it difficult for her to refuse. With Sonny there, Everly had to put on the gown, do her makeup, and wear the jewelry. Thanks to that, they had gotten the chance to see this softer side of their boss.
The two of them took the elevator down to the first floor. When Everly stepped out, the employees who saw her were momentarily stunned. Once they realized who she was, they hurriedly greeted her
After she walked past, quiet exclamations and whispers broke out behind her.
It turned out that their boss was not unattractive after all. She simply never bothered
to show off her feminine beauty.
