188 Cinderella’s Crystal Shoes
Isabella opened the door of the car at once and turned around, “You all stay away from me. No peeking!”
Peter said in surprise, “Mr. Cedric!”
Cedric said playfully, “It is just a car. She can keep it if she likes it.”
“We should stand further from the car and not interrupt her getting changed.”
Isabella was hiding in the car and after she made sure that the three men didn’t peek at her, she began to change her clothes.
She had thought about this decision carefully.
First of all, the car was a Rolls-Royce. It was a high-class business car that cost tens of millions, which was similar to Joseph’s car. So, Isabella could tell that the man was rich so he would not hurt or rob her.
Secondly, the owner of the car looked decent and civilized, wearing gold glasses, so he should be a gentleman. Isabella admitted that she concluded it totally by the man’s appearance.
Of course, there was a most important point.
.....
Isabella found that after she got hit by the car for quite a while, the man wearing glasses came out of the car. The other two men also mentioned that they didn’t want the man to contact her. So, it meant that the man was important and should be carefully protected.
So, such a man would be very careful with Isabella’s proposal so he would not do something to her because of her beauty...
After Isabella put on the gown, she got out of the car.
“I am finished!” she said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen she shouted to Cedric, “You can turn left, and then you will see a forest. After you go through the forest, you will see a square. Then you can see the highway beside the square!”
Then, she picked up her backpack and ran away as she said, “I have to go. Thank you!”
Joey walked to the car and said, “She indeed just changed her clothes in the car. Mr. Cedric, do we need to take the way she told us?”
Joey looked up at Cedric who tilted his head and looked at the girl’s back thoughtfully. He turned to look at Peter and Peter waved his hand to tell Joey to keep quiet.
“We will take that way. I trust her,” Cedric said.
He looked away and saw a pair of golden high heels when he wanted to get in the car. He then realized that the miss was wearing her sports shoes. He called out, “Miss, your shoes!”
But Isabella had disappeared under the moonlight with her purple gown.
“What should we do, Mr. Cedric? Do we need to follow her?” Joey said.
“How? There is a crossroad ahead. Who knows which way did the girl choose? Mr. Cedric needs to catch the plane!” Peter said.
Cedric looked at the high heels in his hands without speaking. Then he laughed and said, “Don’t you find it familiar?”
Joey and Peter didn’t know what Cedric mean?
Cedric said, “At midnight, lovely Cinderella has to leave because the magic is going to disappear. She loses one of her crystal shoes...”
Cedric looked at the shoe in his hands and smiled thoughtfully. He said, “I am curious who is the prince? Is it me who picked up her shoe or the man she is running for?”
...
It’s nine o’clock.
The clock on the bell tower at the southwest corner of the manor stroke nine when Isabella rushed through the gate.
She took off her sports shoes and took out the high heels in her backpack. But there was only one left.
Isabella knew that she must lose it when she was running. She found herself so stupid.
Then she threw her backpack into the grasses and walked on the carpet barefoot. She thought that no one would find it because of her long gown.
The stage at the end of the carpet was dazzling and crowded. Joseph had blown the candles and was standing in the middle of the stage. In front of him was a luxurious cake with more than ten layers.
Isabella knew that she was so late so she began to run as she raised her gown.
“Joseph!” Zachary shouted.
He whistled and joked, “Didn’t you tell us that you will cut the cake with your date? Where is she?”
People began to discuss. Joseph picked up the knife gloomily and glared at Zachary.
Zachary shut up at once. Jayden smiled and said, “Zachary, stop it. The miss might have some other things so she can’t come. Doris, you three can go up and cut the cake with Joseph.”
Jayden was more thoughtful than Zachary. He could tell that Joseph was upset because his date didn’t come. He let Doris cut the cake with Joseph so that Joseph would not be embarrassed.
Joseph didn’t reject Jayden’s proposal and picked the knife with three girls.
People under the stage were cheering.
Isabella was running to the stage and she was shouting, “Wait! Joseph, wait for me!”
Isabella was running too fast so she was tripped by her long gown and fell to the ground.
The cheers were louder than Isabella’s voice. But when Joseph raised the knife, he looked away at the red carpet.
Isabella looked up and waved her hands at Joseph. She thought that Joseph should have seen her. But Joseph just paused a while and then cut the cake without hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fireworks were set on fire.
People were exclaiming.
The sound of fireworks and cheers mixed. Colorful petals were falling from the air.
Isabella saw Joseph drop the knife. He looked her through the petals coldly and then left.
She knew that she messed it up.
She didn’t only get late but also ruined Joseph’s plan for the party. She embarrassed Joseph.
The crowd began to eat the cake and plaster the cake on the other’s faces. Isabella walked through the crowd and came into the hall.
She had to explain it to Joseph.
Everything that happened to her today was because she wanted to prepare a gift for him. She thought that Joseph was reasonable so he might forgive her when he knew the truth.
However, Isabella saw several women around Joseph when she came in.
The first floor was redecorated for the party so the sofa was facing the door now. Beside the sofa were flowers. Everyone in the hall was looking at Isabella.
Everyone was stunned. A woman in red dress beside Joseph said in surprise, “Who is this lady? Why her gown is dirty?”
Isabella looked down at her gown and noticed that there were stains on it because of the long way she ran.
“She doesn’t wear shoes!” someone shouted.
Another girl added, “Hurry up! Gerry, drive her out. She must sneak in when no one noticed her.”
Isabella didn’t expect that these women would be so mean to her. She hid her feet under her gown and said in a panic, “No. I am...”
Doris said, “She didn’t sneak in. She is the second daughter of Cark Smith, who is the manager of Smith Design.”
Doris was shaking the glass in her hand and continued to say, “Isabella, you know Mr. Joseph because you ruined his pants last time, right? You two made friends through pants but why don’t you wear shoes on such an important occasion?”
