As the maid finishes her masterpiece with my red lipstick, she can't help but leave an overjoyed expression on her face and say, “There you go, miss Odessa, you look absolutely stunning. Surely, Master Matteo will be enamored to see you tonight.”
“You really think so?” I ask her once more. For some reason, I just can’t help feeling nervous as I come closer to seeing everyone in the garden, most especially Matteo while I wear all this look and this gown.
“Of course, Miss Odessa. You’re Master Matteo’s mate, there is no way he would not appreciate you.”
Despite the fact that hearing that ought to have already helped to calm my nerves at least, I still can't help but wonder what their reaction will be after they actually see me.
On the other hand, it makes me wonder if Matteo will find me more attractive after seeing me in this look than I was before. After all, he is the main reason I want to look my best for tonight's event, and I want to do that by dressing elegantly.
