Chapter 28
Feeling drained, I leaned heavily against the couch. Then Belle, who read my countenance, cautiously spoke up.
"My lady, since you're going to the ball, you could wear the dress you prepared last time. You seemed very eager to wear it, if I may say so myself."
"Dress?"
"Ah, yes, my Lady. The dress that you had custom made by the seamstress two months ago."
"Two months ago, huh."
That was just before I possessed Sylvia's body.
"Oh dear! I apologize, but that dress won't fit now. Yikes! Why didn't I think of this? My lady, what should we do? Should we rush to have it altered now? Or should we find a new dress?"
"First, calm down, Belle."
I patted the flustered Belle's shoulder, trying to calm her down. It didn't work. Frantic, Belle rolled up her sleeves and declared that she would rush out immediately and search every renowned boutique.
"Don't. There won't be any decent dresses left anywhere."
