Chapter 439: ORDER THE GOWN
“But if Ovior goes, what will you do?” Felix asked Arthur.
Arthur stared at his wife and replied, “I’ll just stay here and wait for my wife to come home.”
‘Glib tongue,’ Veronica thought. She didn’t bother to look at him. She tried to concentrate on her work.
Zinnia and Felix exchanged glances. They realized the couple had a feud.
Not wanting to bother them anymore, Zinnia said, “If you need anything, just let us know.”
After they left, Arthur looked at his diligent wife. “Nic...”
“Focus on your work,” Veronica sternly said.
.....
Arthur: “...”
‘Did I take last night’s action too far?’ he wondered.
However, even if he took back time, he would do the same thing again.
Yesterday, Veronica looked more pitiful and luscious than ever. He wanted to forever imprint her expression.
——
The next day, Veronica went out with Zinnia. She had to order a gown for the ball.
“I want to go to the regular boutique shop but I wonder if we still have the chance to order there,” Zinnia shared her thoughts.
Veronica couldn’t imagine it. “It can’t be that crazy, right?”
“Let’s find out,” Zinnia said.
Ten minutes later, her premonition came true.
The manager bowed deeply and apologized, “I’m so sorry, Madams. We are completely booked. If we take another order, I fear my workers will die from exhaustion.”
Veronica was rendered speechless. She could see the scenery inside the shop.
The workers were running with clothes and laces. They were going crazy to finish the orders in less than a week.
“...Does this happen often?” she asked the Manager.
The Manager replied, “Not precisely. Mostly the invitation comes a month before the party is held.
“But this time, the invitation from the Imperial Palace was delayed. As a result, not every noble family was prepared.
“The moment they got the invitation, they came to choose a design. We weren’t able to close the shop yesterday. Only at three in the morning, we were able to close the shop.”
Zinnia narrowed her eyes. “If this shop is like this, I wonder what’s the situation in other shops.”
The Manager stated, “The situation is dire, Madam. Not even one shop opened today. I’m pretty sure about this. I’m afraid you came too late.”
“Since no other shop can take orders, there is no need to order one. Let’s just leave.” Veronica stood up. She was ready to leave.
“Hold on,” Zinnia stopped her. She looked at the Manager and asked, “You cannot take more orders because you worry about your workers’ exhaustion, am I right?”
“That is correct, Madam.” The Manager nodded.
Zinnia smirked. She came up with a brilliant plan.
“How about we know a process to take your workers’ exhaustions? They won’t feel tired or sleepy until their work for the day is done.
“If they want, they can work without sleeping for a few days. If I can make that happen, will you take the order?”
The Manager stared at her with a dumbstruck expression.
“Madam, if it was possible with magic, we would have done that and would take all the orders which came to us. However, it is impossible.”
“It is possible. She can do this.” Zinnia pointed at Veronica.
She added, “This is my offer for you. She will use her magic to take away exhaustion and your workers will make one gown for her.
“And that gown has to be more gorgeous than any one you have ever made.”
The Manager listened and then stated, “I understand that you are desperate, madam. But how can she do such a thing? I’ve never heard of any magic like that at all.”
“You never did but now you will.” Zinnia looked at Veronica. “Why don’t you use your magic trick on one of his employees? I’m sure he will change his mind.”
Veronica was confused. ‘What magic trick? Is she telling me to use my healing power? Wouldn’t I just draw attention to myself if I do that? it will be more dangerous if rumors about me spread.’
“What if we don’t use my trick? I don’t want to cause any problem...” she meant to say ‘attention problem’.
Zinnia brushed off her worry. “It won’t be a problem as long as the Manager keeps it a secret and asks his employees to keep it a secret. Right, Manager?”
The Manager nodded. “Surely. If my customers want me to keep it a secret, I will. I’ll just tell my employees about the magic trick. Then there won’t be any harm done.”
“Perfect!” Zinnia looked at Veronica. “Show him what you got.”
Veronica took a deep breath and muttered, “Here goes nothing.”
After that, she used her healing power on the most exhausted employee she could find from the ajar door.
The employee was a seamstress. She was working tirelessly since yesterday. She barely had the chance to have a meal.
She felt like fainting when somehow, she sensed that her power was reviving. She didn’t feel like fainting. Her power was restored quickly.
Soon, she felt like she had just woken up from a good sleep.
She paused her work and stared at her hands. She looked like she was dreaming.
She couldn’t believe that without a rest or a meal she was feeling like an invincible person.
She looked around to check if others felt the same way but they were all too busy with their tasks. They didn’t notice her abnormality.
The Manager noticed her behavior from another room. He strode forward and asked, “What is it?”
The seamstress said, “Sir, I was tired of working without a rest but suddenly I think I’m not tired anymore. I don’t know what happened. My head is clear. I’m not dizzy any more. I don’t feel hungry either. I feel refreshed.”
The Manager couldn’t believe her words. He stared at her with an eagle-like gaze.
She didn’t look like she was acting and so he only had to trust her words.
“All right, just go back to work.” He looked around and then announced, “Until all the orders for the Imperial ball are done, I’ll be giving nourishing drinks to everyone. It will keep you healthy and less exhausted. You can work without getting tired.”
At first, the employees didn’t believe him. They had never heard of such nourishing drinks before.
But soon, they cheered up to make their Manager happy.
The Manager went back to the room and looked at Veronica excitedly.
“Madam, you are a genius. I’m not sure what kind of magic you used but my employee has completely changed.
“I’ll give them fruit drinks every day. Instead, you stay here as my guest and use your magic to empower them secretly. How’s that sound?”
Veronica listened to him carefully and then looked at Zinnia for permission.
Zinnia smiled. “It’s a solid plan. I like it. As long as your employees won’t be suspicious, it will be fine.”
“They will never,” the Manager promised. “No one comes to my room as long as I’m not here. I will stay with them and they don’t need to come here to look for me. I will even personally provide your meals here.”
“Very well. I’ll be with my friend as well. Make sure you prepare both of our meals,” Zinnia stated. “Shall we talk about the dress?”
———-
After that, for six days, Veronica and Zinnia came to the boutique shop. While Veronica healed the employees, Zinnia guarded her.
Veronica easily became exhausted while healing them every ten hours. There were a lot of employees.
She had to make sure that she was healing everyone in the building including the Manager.
Since the Manager was serving fruit juice to the employees, the employees thought that they didn’t get exhausted due to the drinks.
They believed in the Manager and thought of the drink as some kind of magic potion. They praised their Manager and worked day and night without getting tired.
As a result, the workload they had for six days was finished in four and half days.
They all cheered up and held a party for it.
Since the orders were cleared up, they wanted to take more orders. That’s when Veronica and Zinnia came with her order.
Without knowing who their benefactor was, they gladly accepted the order.
The designer had come up with an excellent design while working on the dresses. When she showed the design to Veronica, she immediately agreed.
Thus, in two days, all the employees focused on one dress and made the most gorgeous gown they could ever make.
———-
.....
On the day of the Imperial ball, Ovior was standing in front of the entrance of the Magic Tower, fixing his tie.
“Are you nervous?” Felix asked.
“Why should I be nervous?” Ovior furrowed his eyebrows. “It’s just, I’m feeling uncomfortable.”
Darius snickered. “Are you feeling uncomfortable because of the ball or for the person you are going to escort?”
“Nonsense! Why should I be uncomfortable just attending a ball? I’m from a noble family. I have attended this kind of ball since I was a child. As for Veronica, she is just a partner. It’s not like I’ve never had a partner before...”
Ovior couldn’t finish his sentence as the words were stuck in his throat.

His gaze was at the front, looking at his partner.

Arthur stared at his wife and replied, “I’ll just stay here and wait for my wife to come home.”
