Restart (A Billionaire Story)

7: Charity Project

"Okay so what's your style, love? Like, what do you feel most comfortable in?" Rita asked me as she lead me to sit down with her. "Well an oversized shirt and sweatpants when I'm at home but other than that just kinda casual clothes I guess. I don't know really. I mean I like to dress a little more elegant for work but not to the extreme some girls take it, if that makes any sense at all?" I asked as I tried to explain it to her. I guess I just didn't have a style. I just wear what I like and feel comfortable in.
"Yeah it makes perfect sense, sweetie. You like to look cute and well put together but you still like it to be comfortable and a little laid back" Rita said with a smile and I nodded in agreement.

"Okay well let's get started then" she announced as she got up and made her way over to the racks, grabbing random pieces here and there. I just watched her for a moment as she seemed to be so in her element. "Well come on love. Just have a look at the clothes and choose whatever catches your eyes" she told me with a smile so I got up and looked through everything. There were a lot of really cute items but I didn't pick up all of them, since I still didn't really agree with all of this. "Okay, well let's get you to start trying on some things" Rita said after a while as she showed me to the huge changing room. I have never been to such a luxurious store before, so this was quite the new experience for me. "Okay now put this on" she told me as she handed me a skirt, blouse and some shoes and then basically pushed me inside the changing room, closing the curtains behind me. "Okaaaay" I said with a soft laugh as I started to change into what she had handed me.
It basically went on like this for about an hour. Rita handing me clothes and shoes and me trying them on, telling her what I liked and what I disliked. She did have really good taste and pretty much mostly chose things that I liked on myself. I also couldn't deny the fact that I had quite some fun with Rita, since she just had such a likeable and fun personality.

"Okay now I think we've got you covered but there's one more thing left" she told me, looking at me with an ecstatic expression. "Which is...?" I asked her and raised my eyebrows at her curiously. "Well, you still need a dress for the charity event Alexander is gonna hold" she told me, clapping her hands excitedly. "Can't I just wear one of the skirts and blouse I just tried on?" I asked her and shrugged. "Are you kidding me, love?" she asked me and laughed, shaking her head. "It's gonna be an evening event which requires you to wear an evening dress. It's gonna be really fancy. Not to forget that you're Alexander Greenfield's new PA. A lot of eyes are gonna be on you." She told me and I just nodded. "Well if you say so" I said and giggled softly. "Aaaand you surely want to impress Alexander" she added, with a grin evident in her voice as she was already walking over to all the evening dresses and looked through them. I just ignored what she said and watched her go through the dresses.

She pulled out a few and hung them in the dressing room, one of them immediately catching my eyes. "Now come on. Let's try the first one." Rita said with an excited grin. It was honestly a mystery to me, how someone could be this excited and hyped all the time.
Rita then helped me get into the first dress but I immediately shook my head. "Nah that's a bit too much tulle for my liking" I told her as I looked at myself in the mirror. I practically looked like a huge piece of candy. "Okay let's not waste any time and try the next one on then" she said as she helped me get into a really tight, black one. "It's a really pretty dress but just not for me. It's too tight, makes me feel kinda restricted" I explained to her and she nodded. She then grabbed the dress that stood already out to me earlier and I couldn't help but get a little excited to try this one on myself. 

"Wow" I mumbled as I looked at my reflection in this dress. It was breathtaking. It was a rosegold/nude kinda colour, which was one of my favourites. It had the perfect fit, with beautiful lace all over it and the back of it was just breathtaking. It was the perfect dress in my eyes. 

"Well seems like we found the one" Rita said with a wide smile as she watched me. "You look amazing" she told me, kind of looking like a proud mum, watching her daughter choose her prom dress. "It's so beautiful" I mumbled and nodded as I looked at Rita. I've never worn a dress liked this in my life and I literally felt like a Disney princess. "I'm so proud of myself." Rita then said jokingly and I laughed along with her.
Rita then went to pin some things in place, fitting the dress, since it needed some slight alterations, especially length wise because I'm only 5'4''.

"Okay, well expect some huge packages delivered to your flat soon." Rita said with a soft chuckle, after we were done with everything. "Yeah that will be fun" I said and laughed as well. "I still don't believe that Mr. Greenfield really just did this..." I mumbled and bit my lip. "I do think he really just meant to help you out, love." Rita told me with a soft expression and I just shrugged. "Yeah I don't know. I just don't get this guy." I said and a slight sigh left my lips. "He's not always easy to handle when it comes to his employees, I've heard, especially his PA. But he really isn't that much of a bad guy I guess." she claimed. "He seems to like you I think. He wouldn't have done this, if he didn't."she added, making me laugh softly. "I'm not so sure about that yet. He's my boss. I'm his personal assistant. He probably just doesn't want people to talk bad about me, because it might make people gossip about him for having a weird PA." I told her, still kinda having a feeling that he might just have his own advantage at interest. Just then Mr. Greenfield's driver walked in and threw a slight smile towards Rita and me. "Well I'm sure you will find out, love. Now if you ever need a new outfit, just let me know, yeah?" she said with a smile as she kissed my cheeks again. "I will. Thanks for everything Rita!" I told her, smiling as well.
I then got into the car and Mr. Greenfield's driver turned to look at me."Mr. Greenfield told me to stop wherever you want, in order to grab some lunch, since you spent your break at the store." he told me and then started the car. "How generous..." I mumbled to myself but then told him to stop at the nearest Nando's so I could grab myself a Caesar salad, which I ended up eating in the car on the way back to the office

Looks like Stefanie still isn't 100% happy with what Mr. Greenfield did. There might be another update today, so stay tuned. :)
