average american beauty

In order to have a good light, all the lights in the dressing room have been turned on.

Caroline looked at the girl in the full-length mirror.

This is not the first time she has seen this dress, but it is the first time she has seen herself like this.

The collar of this dress does not cover half of the neck like the mainstream skirt collar, but is similar to a collar, with the shoulders slightly exposed. With the petal-shaped half sleeves and exquisite long gloves of the same color, it shows the most sought after French style.

The pearl-colored satin skirt on the lower body is layered, with fine tulle floating on the top layer, and strings of rice-sized broken gemstones are adorned on the edge of the tulle.

The whole outfit shows the beauty of women without hesitation.

No wonder Mary, who was resting on the side just now, found that she couldn't participate in the show due to an injury. The first time she was not worried about her job and salary, but regretted that she couldn't wear the show dress again.

Caroline secretly tugged on the tight corset, and she completely understood the enthusiasm of these wealthy people in the upper class for these clothes.

The event is about to start, and clothing display reservations are the first process.Although Caroline couldn't go to the front desk of the exhibition at this time, it was also convenient for her to keep an eye on the model girls who were about to go on stage.

Checked with Charlotte again that the clothing and accessories of every girl including herself are perfect. Caroline arranged the order of everyone's standing and waited for the appearance.

........................

Francis is the first time to participate in the activities of Meisi.

He himself has only been back to Chicago for two months, and it stands to reason that he has absolutely no chance to participate in the Meisi member exhibition.But before he and his uncle just met Mr. Du Laide, a leather merchant with cooperation, and his wife is a regular customer and member of Meisi Department Store. Mr. Durand invited Francis and his uncle to come together.

Francis' uncle has completely moved his shoe factory to Chicago this year, so he has naturally heard about the name of Meisi Department Store and the recent membership activities, not to mention that the Corey family had been neighbors with the Meisi family for a while.He himself couldn't get away because of work, but he was very happy to see his nephew. He always felt that Francesy didn't like to socialize, and his circle of friends was too narrow, which was not conducive to his future development.

Francis sat on the sofa prepared for members and relatives and friends at the exhibition, looking forward to it.While chatting with Du Laide and his wife, he casually observed the staff around the exhibition.

He knew that Caroline had been working as an assistant for Ms. Green, and had been busy with this event for a long time. He was wondering if she would be surprised to see him sitting in the member area, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find her. Some regrets.

Soon, Ms. Green was at the front of the show.

For this exhibition, a booth about one foot high was built under Caroline’s suggestion. Like the later catwalk, one end of the booth is connected to the front meeting platform where Ms. Green is standing, and the other end is connected to Several carved and folded screen sides.

After Ms. Green announced the start of the first part of the clothing display of this event, the lights near the exhibition area dimmed, leaving only the most dazzling row of gas lamps in the middle to illuminate the booth. Two rows of uniquely shaped kerosene lamps shining with warm colors are placed on the ground.

The folding screen was opened, and eight good-looking young girls were dressed in the first batch of products in this exhibition—eight sets of French winter evening dresses with different designs. The beautiful melody is coming towards the stage ahead.

Caroline was second to last. She was not as experienced as the other girls on stage, but she was undoubtedly the one who was most familiar with the show venue and the audience.So although she was nervous and her steps were a little cautious, the confidence on her face was no less than that of other girls.The broken gemstones on the skirt flowed with her steps, reflecting the shining light.

The light shone into Francis' eyes one by one.

In other words, from the moment Caroline appeared on the stage and Francis found her on the display stand, his eyes never moved away.

He has always been vaguely aware that he has a different feeling for this girl, and he always looks for opportunities to meet her intentionally or unintentionally, and occasionally he can't help but think of her pair of gray-blue eyes.But he usually doesn't have the kind of playboy brother who can help him analyze his feelings, and he is too embarrassed to discuss these things with his sister.

But after all, Francis is an adult man who is about to turn 20 years old. Even if he has never been in love, he will never be ignorant of emotional matters.

He kept his eyes on Caroline until she was behind Ms. Green.

"Are you interested in that girl? These girls should be actors in the theatre. I seem to have seen one or two in the song and dance troupe performing in the theater." Mr. Du Laid looked at Francis and laughed and joked.Before he could say anything, he managed to get a threatening glance from his wife.

Mr. Durand shrugged, smiled at Francis, and said no more.

"Oh, she's not," Francis said in a low voice, and continued to look at the stage in front of him, regardless of whether Mr. Dowley could hear him clearly.

The eight sets of dresses worn by the girls are just samples. For each dress, Meisi Department Store only provides one reservation, and then it will make a finished product according to the figure of each reservation customer, and guarantee that only this one will be sold in the city. Will not appear in the mall.

The exquisite, gorgeous and limited French dresses are the favorites of ladies and ladies. Coupled with the unique clothing display just now, many people can't wait to sell them.

Mrs. Wayne, who was always the most active in the auction session of Meisi membership activities, contracted three of them, including the one on Caroline.

No matter how much the other wives secretly envy Mrs. Wayne, they must congratulate her on the surface for taking pictures of the fancy dress. As for whether they will speak bitterly to their sisters after returning home, it is another matter.

Whenever a dress is photographed, the model girl in the sample dress will salute and step off the stage and return to the dressing preparation area.

After Caroline stepped off the stage, she immediately went back to the staff lounge and changed into her work clothes, then arranged the changed dresses and handed them to Charlotte for careful storage.The cost of these sample dresses is also very high. Although Ms. Green will not sell them in Meisi, she has already arranged the follow-up processing.

After putting on her overalls, Caroline immediately resumed her usual working status. After finishing her hair, she returned to the display area to assist Ms. Green in the next jewelry ordering session.

As a familiar face in Meisi's membership activities, it's not that no customers recognize Caroline, but most customers don't care about these small details.

Only Francis has been secretly paying attention to this busy girl.

After clearly changing out of the fancy dress, Caroline looked like an ordinary pretty girl, but he just felt like he couldn't take his eyes away.While he was thankful that Caroline would not pay too much attention to him because of the light, he wished that Caroline would see him right away, so as to see if she would have any special reaction.

Caroline didn't notice Francis sitting in the members' area until near the end of the event.She was indeed stunned for a moment, but after seeing the leather merchants Du Laide and his wife next to him, she quickly reacted, nodded slightly towards him, and continued to concentrate on the activity.

The event ended just before Meisi Department Store closed. Customers who took pictures of the clothing or jewelry reservation rights they liked left satisfactorily with the order receipts.Of course, it was unavoidable that one or two customers would be ridiculed when they went back, but they still had to try their best to get a place to participate in the next Meisi department store customer event.

Caroline sent off the girls in the theater, and went back to the third floor to count all the products that were ordered at today's exhibition and delivered to customers' homes when needed.At the same time, customers who have reserved limited clothing also need to arrange for someone to measure the size tomorrow, and then send it to the tailor of the custom-made clothing, and wait for the ready-made clothing to be delivered to the customer.

After she arranged the packaging styles of all the products according to Ms. Green's instructions, made a list of addresses one by one, and looked at the empty exhibition hall, she finally let go of her shoulders.

Ms. Green had already returned to the office. After Caroline came back, the two of them ate some reserved snacks to fill their stomachs, and began to review the client activities in the afternoon.

Not long after the start, Manager Adler knocked on the door and came in to interrupt the two of them, and briefly talked about the follow-up of the farce at noon.

The youngest son of the Partridge family was notoriously unreliable in their circle. This absurd incident was caught by the people from Max's Department Store together with the witnesses.Originally, it was Wood, the manager of Partridge's Department Store, who came forward to solve the problem, but Partridge Jr. thought "why should this outsider meddle in my own affairs?"Manager Wood had to call in old Mr. Partridge, who was at home.

Because of the conclusive evidence, Manager Adler, who had already controlled the situation, naturally didn't care about the incident.But his greatest purpose is to take advantage of this opportunity to seek the maximum benefit for Meisi Department Store, and then solve the trouble of little Partridge at once, instead of bringing little Partridge into the inspection bureau, and then bringing the two shopping malls together. Send newspaper headlines.After all, once a tabloid reporter writes, it doesn't necessarily turn into a story.

The old Mr. Partridge was naturally furious when he learned that his youngest son was in trouble again, but he had to drive to the warehouse behind Max Department Store with a cane.

After some negotiations, Mr. Partridge Sr. calmed down the troubles caused by his son with the guarantee of "never interfering with the business activities of Max Department Store by any means" and some other commercial considerations.In order to prevent both parties from going back on their word, a written document was specially established.

"Thanks for your hard work, Fred, you have always been reliable in handling things." Ms. Green poured a cup of tea for Manager Adler.

"I should do it. I heard that customers responded well to the event in the afternoon?"

"It looks pretty good so far, except that the episode made us lose one model, thanks to Caroline's little help." Ms. Green looked at Caroline who was sorting out the documents and said with a smile.

Caroline also pursed her lips and smiled when she thought of the half hour she spent as a model in the afternoon.

She admits that she still enjoys wearing a gorgeous gown and stepping up to the booth to be noticed.Besides, how many people don't like it?

However, what Caroline enjoys more is that the event was held smoothly, so that her efforts during this period were not in vain.

The author has something to say:

Caroline: Today, I finally have half an hour of heroine treatment!

Remarks: On the surface, Xiao Fu has been older than Caroline for a few months, so he should still be considered a sibling

PS: If Xiao Fu appeared in front of Caroline after carefully dressing up, maybe he would also have the effect of "handsome and blind eyes". Unfortunately, his appearance is quite unique, and the follow-up is relatively long~~~~
