Chapter 5

Anastasia was astonished to see Gilbert Green when she peered into the eyes of the man standing next to her.

“What are you doing here?” she inquired.

“You called out to me for assistance,” Gilbert said with a serious face.

Anna was enraged.

“Did I request you?”

“You shameless man,” she cried.

Gilbert looked at her and responded in a harsh tone, “Instead of thanking me for assisting you with your outfit,”

Gilbert was enraged with her but couldn’t express it.

He responded, “The dress looks beautiful on you,” and then walked away.

Anna was dumbfounded in front of him because of his eyes; she couldn’t say anything.

Liz knocked on the door while Anna was buried in thought.

“Anna, come and have a look at my gown.”

The ladies didn’t spend much time shopping and eventually settled on something they liked.

Anna returned home late in the evening, went straight to her room, and promptly fell asleep.
