In order to facilitate event preparation, the storage room next to the staff lounge was converted into a temporary changing room, and the staff lounge and changing room were separated by a screen as a preparation area.Clothes and accessories that will be on display have also been hung up.

The presentation is normally held in the afternoon, but the girls who are invited to "model" the costumes will arrive at noon.

Although in the current fashion center of Paris, clothing stores often let young female shop assistants wear fashionable women's clothing and work part-time as "models" to display clothing, but this set is obviously not suitable for department stores.

So the eight "models" for this event are all dancers invited by Ms. Green from the Chicago Grand Theater. She is familiar with the manager of the theater, and through the manager, she invited several girls with good looks and strict speech to help. Do a costume display.

All the clothing and accessories girls in the exhibition have been tried in advance, and the size has been changed, and the makeup matching has also been tried in advance.Caroline confirmed the products on display in the temporary dressing room again, and instructed Charlotte, who was arranged by Ms. Green to assist, to keep an eye on the dressing room and never let anyone other than those involved in the event enter, and then returned to the first floor to prepare Meet the model girls who are about to arrive.

Caroline was standing near the entrance of Max Department Store, with her hands folded in front of her, looking at Debone Street where people were coming and going outside the glass gate.

Two carriages stopped nearby, and a few girls got out of the carriages.Caroline confirmed it, and immediately put on a smile and briefly exchanged greetings with the girl in front of the team.

At this moment, a young man suddenly rushed out from the opposite Partridge's Department Store, holding a small bag in his hand, and ran forward staggeringly.

"Damn Forlinster, you stop! Stop!"

Caroline looked at the man rushing out from Partridge's department store, it seemed to be... the youngest son of the Partridge family whom she met when she went out with Ms. Green?

The man in front looked back at Little Partridge who was chasing him, panicking, suddenly changed direction and accelerated his speed, and rushed towards Meisi department store, Caroline saw his face clearly.

It turned out to be Daniel who robbed him on the road before.

Caroline immediately turned around and asked the inspector at the entrance of Meisi Department Store to help catch the escaped man, and asked a few girls to enter the Meisi Department Store building so as not to delay the preparations for the event.

"Wait, Mary's still in the car," a girl said.

Immediately afterwards Caroline heard a girl's scream.

The young Mary had just arranged her clothes in the carriage and pushed the door to get off.Immediately afterwards, he was knocked to the ground by a person who jumped out suddenly.

The two inspectors took the opportunity to go forward and surround him, and successfully caught the escaped Daniel.And Caroline hurried forward to help Mary who fell to the ground, and other girls also surrounded her.

"Are you okay? Do you need to call a doctor?" Caroline asked nervously, she had already noticed the bruises the girl made when she put her hands on the ground.

Mary moved her hands and feet and found that in addition to bruising, she also sprained her ankle.Caroline couldn't help cursing inwardly about the terrible situation in front of her, but Ms. Green and Manager Adler were both upstairs, and she at least had to settle the situation in front of her.

It happened that Old Tom, who was usually watching the back door and warehouse of Max’s Department Store, heard the noise and found him. Caroline hurriedly asked him to notify Ms. Green and Manager Adler, and then asked two Max’s inspectors to turn Daniel away first. Go to the back door of Meisi Department Store, where few people go.

Many passers-by were already watching this farce. Although it might just be an accident in their eyes, Caroline did not dare to take it lightly. She asked a few girls to help Mary go to the staff lounge on the third floor to rest first. , the little Mr. Partridge on the other side came in front of him.

He stopped the inspector who was cutting Daniel's hands behind his back, snatched the bag that Daniel had just put into his arms during the scuffle, and said to Caroline in a somewhat frivolous tone,

"This Forlinster just stole something from me. I'm afraid I have to take this person away, mi, um." He watched Caroline raised her eyebrows, and the mustache around her mouth trembled, probably Forgot Caroline's name.

When Caroline heard him calling Daniel's name, she already realized that things were not that simple, but in order not to attract attention in front of Meisi Department Store, she signaled the inspector to continue to the back door, while facing little Patrie Mr. Qi forced a smile,

"Caroline Meeber, Mr. Partridge, my name. Let's go to the back first. After all, you don't want to start arguing in front of Partridge's department store."

Daniel, who was under control, had been silent before. When he saw little Partridge coming over and started talking to Caroline, he straightened up and mocked, "Steal? Didn't you say that you would pay me no matter what happened? I I just took what I deserved."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Little Partridge's face turned pale, and he was about to step forward to grab Daniel immediately.

"Mr. Partridge, please pay attention to your identity. If you don't want to expose everything to the Inspection Bureau, and then be caught by the tabloid reporters and write some strange news, you should wait until later." Caroline confirmed The two people in front of them really knew each other, they blocked the restrained Daniel without any trace, and continued to walk behind Meisi.

Manager Adler, who already had a rough idea of ​​what happened, asked the inspector to take Daniel to the warehouse, and then calmly looked at Mr. Partridge who followed up with a sullen face. Obviously, this was not the first time he had dealt with him.

"Go to the third floor, Caroline. Just leave it to me." Manager Adler nodded to Caroline, and old Tom and Meisi's inspectors stayed behind.In front of everyone, he arranged for two other male employees called Come Over, and asked them to stay on the first floor to keep an eye on the customers coming and going and whether there were any other suspicious people, and ignored Partridge's twitching face.

Caroline watched the farce that had temporarily come to an end, and hurried back to the activity area.

What she didn't know was that, under Mr. Adler's scrutiny and Daniel's dismantling, many of the absurd things that Mr. Partridge did before were known to his father, and he was completely lost because of this. I really don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate for Meisi to take over the opportunity of Partridge's department store in the future.

In the dressing room, the young actors have already changed into the costumes that will be shown later, and are busy combing each other's pre-determined hairstyles.On the other side, Mary in the staff lounge had sprained her foot and injured her hand, so it was obvious that she would not be able to "go on stage" for a while.

Ms. Green is waiting for Caroline near the dressing room.

"One model is missing, Caroline, you can fill it up later," she said.

"What?" Caroline thought she had heard wrong.

"I'll just say it again, you act faster. It's too late to find a new person to replace that Mary. Our clothes have been resized according to the figures of these girls. The figures and appearances in the mall are all right. You are the only one who is familiar with the process. You will wait a while." Change into the show clothes, come out with them, and change back to the work clothes as soon as the costume part is over, and then go with the next part."

Caroline only hesitated for a second before nodding her head in agreement. She went into the dressing room and explained the situation to the girls participating in the event, and then immediately changed into the pearl-colored satin long dress exhibited.

In Caroline's eyes, this kind of gorgeous dress with corset and bustle is "only for viewing from a distance, not for herself". This is the first time she wears such a complicated dress.

With Charlotte's help, she had her hair done and her make-up to match, and the dress, though uncomfortable, did fit.

The shoes Caroline originally allocated to Mary were not suitable for her. She recalled the latest styles of women's shoes from Mei Si and asked Charlotte to help her get a pair of matching ones.

"Caroline, you are so pretty." Charlotte murmured as she looked at her friend dressed up in front of her.
