21 Chapter 20: Caroline

The next day Star received a phone call from her dad. Apparently, her idiotic uncle went to her parent's house at 12 am and made a scene. Star's father sighed heavily as he continues to tell the story.

"What did you tell him anyway?"

"I told him that you gave Axel your blessing"

Her father gasped loudly on the other line. "What? How did you know that?"

"Kade told me about it," Star said nonchalantly.

After talking for a few more minutes Star ended the call. She still has to go meet with EL. This time she will accompany EL to a boutique. EL is going to find a wedding gown for her wedding. Cage was supposed to go with EL but she refused, saying that, she wants the wedding dress to be a surprise and so, she called Star to let her know about it and Star offered to go with her.

-At the boutique-

Star entered the boutique with EL and a staff them with a polite smile. "Welcome. How may I help you?"

"We're here to pick a wedding dress"

"May I ask who the bride is?"

EL raised her hand slightly signaling that she's the bride. The staff leads the way to the place where the wedding dresses are. After a few seconds, a woman appeared wearing a small smile on her face. She was smiling specifically at EL.

"Hello, EL. It's nice to see you at my boutique"

EL smiled before answering. Her smile was polite and business-like. "Hello, Caroline"

"So what are you doing here?" Star chuckled at the obvious question. 'How stupid, this is a boutique. What are we supposed to do here? Eat?'

Caroline heard Star's laugh and looked at her from head to toe before saying, "And who might this be?"

"This is my friend, Star. She's here to help me pick my wedding dress"

Caroline's eyes widened when she heard the word 'friend'. She knows that wherever EL went, she is hated by women. Her long silky platinum blonde hair flows up until her waist and her emerald green eyes are loved by men and hated by women. She has a lot of anti-fans and most of them, no, all of them are girls. Her appearance is what makes women hate her. They feel inferior to her which results in hatred and jealousy. But, Caroline isn't one of those women. She doesn't hate her but she also doesn't like her. Caroline is the type of person who minds her own business unless she is involved.

"Come with me" They went inside a private room Caroline owns. This room was built specifically to be a resting place for her. Whenever she gets tired of designing clothes, she will go to this room to rest.

They sat down on one of the couches. Caroline picks her sketch pad and pencil from the table in front of her. "What kind of dress do you want?"

"I want something simple yet elegant. Something that suits my personality" EL says. Caroline didn't say anything and just nodded as she continues to sketch on her pad.

A few minutes later she stopped sketching and put her pencil down. She turned the sketch pad around and showed EL the drawing. "Something like this?"

EL's eyes widened in surprise. She was surprised at how fast and accurate Caroline drew the wedding dress that she wanted. "Yes! Exactly like that!" EL said as her emerald eyes glimmer in excitement.

"Ok. I guess we're done here. I will need a month to finish the wedding dress. And also, It's for free. Consider it a wedding gift. Advance congratulations on your wedding" Caroline said and smiled genuinely at EL.

"Thank you. I appreciate it" EL said and smiled brightly.

They talked for a few more minutes before leaving. They left and EL drove Star to her apartment. Star entered her apartment and was about to enter her room when Aluna stopped her. "Star! Oh my gosh! Look at this!" she shouts and ran towards Star.

Aluna showed her the picture from the internet. Star's eyes widened in surprise. "Is that?"
