At this moment, I didn’t know why my uncle had such a look on his face, but the moment I entered the room, I understood.
Steve casually greeted Kelly, and I secretly guessed that he was dissatisfied with Kelly holding onto me for so long.
He turned around and sat on the sofa, probably because he had just lost and found his niece. Steve was a little nervous. He didn’t put me down, and he wasn’t as cold and distant as before. Instead, he let me sit on his lap.
The assistant looked at Kelly gratefully. The fates of his subordinates were saved. Then, he said in a flattering manner, “President, Miss Sheila’s dress is really beautiful…”
It was fine if the assistant didn’t say anything, but the moment he opened his mouth, he noticed that Steve’s expression immediately changed. The atmosphere that had just eased up instantly froze again.
“You still have the cheek to say that after what happened to Sheila today…”
Seeing that my uncle was about to lose his temper again, the assistant and the driver lowered their heads in fear, as if they were waiting for the harshest judgment in the world.
I stretched out my soft and tender hands and gently grabbed Steve’s strong arms. In a childish voice, I said, “Uncle, don’t be angry. Actually, this isn’t their fault. It’s because I took the wrong path.”
I turned around and gave Aunt Kelly a sweet smile. I continued, “Uncle, I met Aunt Kelly, who was very good to me, and the super-handsome Owen, as well as a friend who was a little bad-tempered but still seemed nice.”
“And, Uncle, look, I’m wearing such a beautiful princess dress. Aunt Kelly gave it to me.”
These were obviously meant to lighten the atmosphere. I didn’t know why, but I felt that Steve’s face turned even darker after hearing these words.
“Did Sheila have a good time at Mrs. Kelly’s house?” Steve suddenly asked without thinking.
I didn’t understand. This time, I didn’t dare to speak so casually. I was afraid that I would say something wrong, so I just nodded silently.
When Kelly saw this scene, her entire face was covered in smiles.
“Sheila, do you like the princess dress very much?” Steve asked again.
“Yes, yes. Don’t you think it looks good?” Although I didn’t know why Steve asked this question, I still answered honestly.
Although I was already a university graduate, little Sheila looked really cute in the princess dress. Who could resist such a cute thing?
“It looks good,” Steve said in a deep voice as he looked at me with a frown.
I thought this conversation was over.
The next second, Steve ordered his assistant, “Go to the mall and buy all the princess dresses that Sheila can wear.”
When he said this, everyone was stunned.
Mrs. Kelly was drinking coffee. After hearing this, she started coughing.
“What? Do you have any objections?” Steve looked at the coughing Kelly and asked coldly.
“Ah, no, no. I agree with Mr. Steve’s decision. Little Sheila is really too cute. She is especially suited to wear princess dresses. It’s only right for you to buy more.”
Steve did not respond. Anyone could see that Steve’s attitude was probably because he was jealous. He even childishly decided to buy all the princess dresses in a mall because of this!
Mrs. Kelly held back her laughter and said, “Since I’ve already sent Sheila home, I’ll head back first.”
Seeing Steve’s childish behavior, I understood why he was unhappy with Kelly’s family just now.
Although I was a genius student in the finance department, I didn’t expect that Steve, the richest person in the city with such a high status, would be jealous because of a child like me.
Probably because the driver and assistant didn’t do well this afternoon, the procurement task that Steve gave them in the evening was quickly completed.
It wasn’t even nine o’clock in the evening when the assistant came back with two trucks full of princess dresses of all kinds.
When I came down from upstairs, I was stunned. Thousands of princess dresses of all colors were neatly arranged on rows and rows of hangers.
The assistant also carefully arranged the princess dresses of similar colors together. At a glance, they looked like a rainbow made of princess dresses.
They actually bought all of the princess dresses in the mall!
From then on, there was a legend in C City that Steve pampered his little princess at home and bought an entire mall for her!
