We've Never Met

While the men were busy getting deep, things were completely different next door.

This was Ron’s studio where he worked at and he kept his designs here too.

The studio was filled with glamorous bohemian style dresses.

Ron stood in front of the fitting room as he looked at the curtains nervously and expectantly.

His assistants were inside the fitting room, helping Lin Ruoxi with the dress.

About ten minutes later, the assistants walked out of the room and pulled the curtains.

Ron couldn’t help but suck in a breath when he saw her walking out of the room.

His eyes remained glued to Lin Ruoxi. “Miss Lin, you really are the prettiest bride I’ve ever seen in my whole life. That might also have to do with the dress.”

Lin Ruoxi looked at the mirror. She gripped her dress nervously and was having a hard time believing what she was seeing.

It was as if she was a completely different person, having worn this dress.

“Thank you, Mr Ron.” Lin Ruoxi smiled gently and asked, “Is there a name for this wedding dress?”

“Hmm, that’s a good question.” Ron paused for a bit. “I named this dress Demeter.”

Lin Ruoxi was confused. “It sounds familiar.”

“It’s the name of your ‘mother’.” Ron smiled warmly. “Madame Persephone’s mother in Greek mythology was Demeter, the Goddess of harvest. I named this dress so because now she will walk you down the aisle when you get married.”

Lin Ruoxi nodded.

Ron circled around her twice before saying, “Now that you have it on, I must say you look very much like someone from my past.”

Ron said it softly but Lin Ruoxi still heard him. She asked, “Who?”

Ron was startled at first and replied awkwardly, “Perhaps it’s time you knew, Miss Lin. There was a girl whom Your Majesty Pluto used to keep in his company. She was the first and only girl he had been with before yourself. Her name was Seventeen. Sauron, Jane and Catherine told me you two looked alike and I have to agree with them.”

Lin Ruoxi’s face darkened when she heard that. She smiled stiffly and said, “It…it’s a shame that we’ve never met.”
