Chapter 34: Paying for the dress

*Melissa's POV*

Robert drove for about twenty minutes before we finally came to a stop at a big compound with lots of cars and people going about their business.

I stepped down and just like the last time I was here, I gawked at the building in front of me in awe. For me, this would still be one of the most beautiful and biggest malls I've seen in my lifetime.

And the fact it belonged to the Brown, made me realize how really wealthy and powerful they were, considering they had many other businesses aside this.

The building stood proudly with its exterior made of glistening glasses and a red Ferris wheel rotating on top with an inscription 'GOLDEN COUTURE '

Just then my phone began to ring and I dipped my hand into my handbag, bringing it and answered.

"Hello, bunny!" Williams' voice rang charmingly in my ear and I almost blushed. My eyes instinctively looked around, searching for him. "Looking for someone?"

I jolted when I heard his voice behind me.

"Finally, you'd let me go."She attempted to wiggle herself out of my hold, and I let her.She dragged the duvet with her, out of the bed, covering her nakedness, but exposing mine."Haven't I seen everything you're hiding inside there, some few hours ago?" I asked teasingly and she turned to me, her cheeks tinted pink.I was suddenly missing the feel of her body against mine. The space she just got up from felt empty. Literally and in some other ways."Was that why you were gripping me so tight like you wanted to enter into my body? Now, I'm going to be late for my interview with Lux Signature," she complained."I can always make them schedule
