Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 990
Serenity thought she could just put on whatever.
However, Audrey said they had to dress for the occasion.
Tonight’s event was for the upper middle class. Audrey initially had no intention of attending the social meeting, but since
Serenity asked for a favor, she thought it would be perfect for Serenity to start off with. Hence, she told the host that she would
be attending for Serenity to ease into the circle.
Since it was not an event among the upper crust, there was no need to be overly dressy. Audrey did not pick out the fanciest
gown for Serenity.
Serenity had a slim figure and a great face. She carried herself with grace too. Any gown would bring out her natural beauty.
With Serenity coming out in the gown, Audrey complimented, “Seren, you just have that refined air about you. You have a great
figure that works nicely with the dress. It would be perfect if you don’t walk too quickly.”
Serenity was trained in the art of self–defense. Although she was endowed with natural beauty, she walked and carried out tasks
like a boss. The way she walked was definitely faster than any lady could keep up.
“Aunt Audrey, I can stamp someone with these heels.”
Since Serenity always had either sneakers or flats on, it was easy for her to move around. She was not used to wearing high
heels. The most she would do was put on a pair of kitten heels whenever she attended social gatherings in the higher society
with Jasmine and Mrs. Sox. She rarely ever wore high heels.
“I’ll give you my full support if you go ahead with investing in some project or business with Elisa. It won’t bother me that you take
things fast, but tonight, you must be a lady. Pace yourself. I could barely keep up with you when we went shopping the other
day.”
Rosiness crept onto Serenity’s cheeks.
Elisa brought out the killer stilettos for Serenity tonight.
Intimidated by the stilettos, Serenity asked, “Aunt Audrey, Elisa, I’m scared I won’t be able to walk in those heels. The heels are
so high and thin. Will the heels break when I run?”

Audrey was rendered speechless.
Elisa remarked with a smile, “No one is asking you to run in those heels.”
Serenity stole a glance at her aunt’s face before putting on the stilettos. Grabbing Elisa’s hand, she stood up and took a few
steps. She was tempted to kick the stilettos off her feet.
Oh, how she longed for her house loafers.
“Wear these heels down the stairs and walk a few rounds on the front lawn. We can leave when you feel comfortable in them.”
Audrey was so focused on picking outfits and shoes for Serenity the other day that she forgot to let Serenity practice wearing the
heels.
Serenity quietly stuck her tongue out. Without defying Aunt Audrey’s orders, she cautiously strutted out of the room.
“I’ll go with Seren, Mom.”
Taking pity on Serenity, Elisa merrily went with her cousin.
Once out of the room, Elisa gave Serenity a sympathetic look as the latter clung to the barrister and walked. Elisa commented,
“You asked for it. You could’ve asked anyone for help, but you sought guidance from my mother. My mom is all about etiquette.
She could probably work for the Queen. She probably will tell you to start over if you don’t do a good job.”
Serenity was lost for words.
Who else could she look for, if not Aunt Audrey?
If she were to go with Zachary, Zachary would dote on her so much and be cool with her leaving home in her loafers.
“It’s still hours before the event anyway. You can take your time to practice.” Elisa added with a smile, “I’ll be here with you.”
