Chasing my lovely wife.

Chapter 9.

Hazel's blood immediately boiled with anger after Neli's group left the salon, she just wanted to embarrass her and see her pathetic face once again but she didn't expect that she would answer her like that. But why did she suddenly say that they need to file their divorce, if they are not together for the past three years?

Didn't they both sign the divorce paper a long time ago?

Caleb broke up with her all of a sudden two days after the hotel incident but she thought that he just wanted to cool down because of all his stress to Neli and to his work, and beside she's close to his mother and work at her agency so she could still easily see him anytime, that's what she thought.

It's been three years since Caleb broke up with her and he never spoke to her again, however she didn't accept that and continued to tell other people that she was still his girlfriend. People still believe in her because they don't know that Caleb was already married, that's why she was so angry with Neli when she suddenly mentioned their divorce in front of other people.

Caleb has everything she's looking for in a man, handsome face, a perfect body, smart and wealthy. She was happy every time she saw the envy in people's eyes every time she mentioned that she was his girlfriend, she also doesn't want to lose the luxurious life she gets so she wouldn't allow Caleb to disappear from her life.

Hazel suddenly noticed her stylist become quiet while fixing her hair, she also saw that he seemed embarrassed to talk to her anymore which made her cursed Neli even more.

Neli was busy looking for another salon when she noticed that Mel received a call, after talking to someone on the phone she immediately told her that their dinner meeting was canceled tonight because the owner had something important to deal with, and also informed her that their venue has just been changed and a dinner party is about to take place three days later.

Because of that, she was relieved knowing she still had time to look for a dress to wear for the dinner party. She didn't bring a dress that fits for a dinner party because she didn't expect their meeting to change.

And because of that, they have time to go to the salon again without any worries about the time and have her dream massage.

After they finished at the salon, they went to the famous boutique shop inside the mall and saw the excitement in her two step-sisters while they were busy choosing a dress for her from a catalog. While they were busy, she distracted herself by looking at the ready made dresses brought out by a staff.

A beautiful red velvet dress suddenly caught her attention.

"It looks perfect."

Neli immediately turned behind her when she heard Mel speak, she saw her three siblings busy checking at the dress that she was looking while holding her chin and even Camille joined in checking at the dress in front of them.

"You will be gorgeous in that dress, Sis." Cha-Cha said excitedly.

"And very sexy, uhmm." Rhence added while nodding for approval.

"Okay, Madam." she felt Mel patted her shoulders. "Try it so we can ask them to adjust it immediately in case it doesn't match your size."

"No, I'm just looking at it." she answered while laughing shyly. "I still haven't looked through the catalog, is there anything you like?"

"I'm sure this dress will suit you better." Camille added, so she couldn't do anything but to try the dress.

Neli excitedly wears the dress, the dress features a flattering off shoulder and deep V-neckline design that highlights her cleavage and sexy neckline with ruched pleated slit providing elegance and sophistication yet very sexy aura. She seems to want to seduce someone with her looks when she sees herself in the mirror, the dress itself was already perfect even if she doesn't wear make-up.

"Wow!"

"You look very gorgeous in that dress, Neli." even Camille was amazed by her. "It really suits you."

"T-Thank you."

There was a little adjustment that needed to be done on the dress and the staff said that the dress would be delivered to their address within two days after the size was carefully adjusted. While taking her measurements, she also told them to choose a dress they wanted so she could buy it for them.

After they shopped for their dresses, her youngest step-sisters asked to eat some ice cream but Camille forbade her because according to her it was about time for dinner. She checked what time it was and saw that it was past six in the evening, so they called his father who was crying again, because he was alone in the house, to come to the mall and brought them to a buffet restaurant. She chose it so that Cha-Cha could also eat ice cream after they ate their dinner because according to Mel, there are many different flavors of ice cream in that buffet restaurant.

Neli became busy the next day because of her interview in a popular local magazine to promote the newly released product of her endorsed brand. The brand is called "Belle femme" which means a 'Beautiful woman' in french and it is one of the best leading cosmetic brands in the world. At night, she spoke to her father about her plan to file a divorce, and this time she will make sure that their divorced will reached the court.

The following day in the afternoon while they were busy talking in the living room, Mel received a sudden call from Director Santos that surprised her, he was the director of her Belle femme lipstick commercial. He offered her to join the cast of a short film for valentine's day that he will make and according to him, he immediately thought of her after reading the script so he called Mel.

Neli had no intention of accepting his offer, because she wanted to return to New York as soon as possible but the director's assistant still sent her the script even though she had not accepted the offer, but when she read it, she liked the story in the short film commercial that Director Santos will going to make and she found out that they would only spend two days for shooting, so in the end she just agreed to do the commercial.

After they called the director and agreed to be part of the cast, Mel discussed her schedule and remembered that her three year contract with her agency in New York was about to finish within the next three month and they had to go back for renewal. While they were busy, they suddenly heard the doorbell, she looked at Camille when she said that she would open the door. When she returned, she was accompanied by a woman and two men carrying large boxes.

She felt excited when she realized that was their dresses, but her excitement quickly turned to disappointment when she heard the woman standing next to Camille speak.

"I'm really sorry, Ma'am."

Neli's eyes surprise after the woman who was the boutique manager confessed to her. She said that a new staff member accidentally sold her dress to another customer which sounds strange to her, and did not inform the other staff. They only found out what happened when a woman who purchased the dress went to their boutique early in the morning to pick up the dress that the woman asked to adjust. But the boutique manager immediately said that they had prepared a dress for her because the staff who assisted them that time remembered that her two step-sisters liked that dress for her, the woman even gave her a pair of nice high heels for compensation.

Neli's jaw dropped when she saw the dress her two step-sisters had chosen for her and they have also adjusted the dress according to her measurements.
