Chapter 23 My Situation

• After Connie's fever subsided the following day, Charlene finally returned home. She hadn't yet prepared her outfit for the banquet the coming evening. So, she decided to venture out that afternoon. Charlene arrived at a high-end boutique, noticing the manager and several assistants fussing over a particular dress. It wasn't until Charlene approached that they acknowledged her presence. "Sorry, miss, how can I help you today?"
• "I'm browsing for now."
• "Of course, take your time."
