I think over and over and finally agree to my mom. I take out a formal outfit from the closet that I'm going to wear for the evening. Since I know she will be really upset if I cancel it. And how bad it can be.. just a meet-up.
"Where are you off to? Won't you stay for dinner?", Alyan asks me.
"I'm sure mom has told you about it", I roll my eyes as he always have this habit of interruption.
"Yeah you can actually go on a date wearing this plain and dull one if you're certain to screw up. But I'm sure aunty won't like it"
"My clothes are my choice! Who are you to tell me that? What's wrong with this?", I check myself well saying, "It's not bad at all"
"I understand you can't wear something stylish design for a lovely look. As this is what you are. But the moment someone sees you he knows you're an workaholic. It can easily put a guy off", his words offend me like hell.
What does he think of himself? My appearance can put Men off! Let me show him how stylish I can be!
This time I wear a vintage floral lace long sleeve burgundy dress. I know it's very different from my kind but let's give it a try.

Alyan is awestruck seeing me coming downstairs. I guess this time he won't complain.
"You look resplendent in this dress", he speaks in awed whisper. Taken aback, he stares at me open mouthed. I giggle at him.
"I'll get going. See you later"
"Are you sure you're going alone? I mean I can drop you there", he stutters as he is explaining.
"I'm taking my limousine. So driver will drop me off. Don't worry", he's worried about me?
"Why would I worry about you? I'm just asking. Text me if you find anything odd as I don't want aunty to face anymore tension because of you. You'll blame me that I didn't take care of her. Long story short, I'll be there", he speaks with deep voice. I nod in agreement.
Though it's weird how he's assuring me to be there when we keep bickering all day long. Maybe he's not just a scam like I thought he is. He does get on my nerves sometimes but today for him I stop thinking about Liam's wedding.
*Beep Beep*
My phone vibraes as message notifications pops. I don't look into it as I know it's nothing more than random bank loan messages from bank. I get out of the limousine as I arrive at the restaurant.
