She Got A Better Man

"Throw her out! Now!" Zach barked an order in a harsh tone and turned his back on her.

His bodyguard came into his office and dragged Sherry away. No matter how much she screamed and yelled, it was to no avail.

'I really shouldn't have lied about my identity, Zach sighed as he rubbed his temples. 'One lie would lead to another, and it would never end if I didn't come clean to Elvira soon,' he thought.

Sherry was forcefully escorted downstairs by Zach's bodyguards and was unceremoniously thrown out of the building. Her belongings were tossed out after her, scattering across the floor. As she tried to gather herself and return inside, hoping to plead with Zach for mercy, she was met with a firm blockade of the bodyguards, who denied her reentry. The once dignified woman found herself in a mess, embarrassed and disgraced.

Everyone stood in disbelief, stunned by the scene. Sherry Johnson, who until moments ago was widely regarded as the most prestigious and respected member of the company staff, had been ousted from her position in a manner that was both abrupt and humiliating. The atmosphere was tense as people whispered nervously to one another and cast furtive glances at Sherry. "This is the first time such things happened in Gilbert Group," a staff member said.

"What did Ms. Johnson do? Was it a major mistake? Or a crime?" another staff member whispered to her colleagues.

Sherry's face was as pale as a ghost. She stumbled a little as she stood up and walked away without picking up her belongings. She then hailed a taxi and left in despair.

Sherry's phone rang when she was in the taxi, and she held it up to her ear with a blank expression on her face. A man's voice said, "Ms. Johnson, it has been a while. I heard Zach Gilbert fired you. Do you want to reconsider my offer?"

Sherry tightened her grip on her phone, thinking about the years of hard work she had put into while working with Zach Gilbert, only to be dismissed in such a humiliating manner. She couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between his coldness towards her and the tender attention he showered upon Elvira. Reluctant to accept the bitter reality of her situation, she gritted her teeth and uttered through clenched jaws, "Alright! I'll accept your offer."

The man laughed upon hearing Sherry's reply and said, "A wise person would always adapt themselves to circumstances. have faith in you, Ms. Johnson."

Sherry's hand slowly dropped to her side, her fingers curling into a fist over her phone. She gritted her teeth and muttered under her breath, "Zach Gilbert, you did this to me first, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

In the hospital, Tracy could sense that Elvira was feeling down today. When Elvira went out to look for the nurse, Tracy called and asked Zach if anything happened between them.

After hearing Zach's account of what happened, Tracy laughed. "You deserved it. No one told you to lie about your identity. See how it came back to bite you? It's called retribution!"

"Grandma! How could you still laugh at me in this situation?" Zach whined. He couldn't focus at work, and all he could think about was how to explain his identity and the whole situation to Elvira.

Tracy burst out laughing again. "My dear. I never knew there would be a day I see you this exasperated," she said. "How about just telling Elvira the truth? Just bring her to a nice restaurant and tell her."

Zach did not respond, speechless about his grandmother's reaction to his dilemma.

When Elvira returned to the ward, Tracy gave Elvira a note with an address written on it and asked her to help pick up

something. "You'll know when you get there," Tracy said when Elvira asked for details.

Elvira took a taxi to the address given to her and saw that it was a bespoke tailoring studio. When the staff heard that Tracy Gilbert had sent her, they enthusiastically invited her in.

"Ms. Willis, it is my pleasure to meet you. I am the designer and tailor of this studio," Aurora Shaw greeted Elvira with a dress in her hand. "This gown was ordered by Mrs. Tracy Gilbert, specially tailor-made for you. Do you like it?"

Elvira couldn't help but marvel at the gown presented to her. Though she had seen countless expensive bespoke outfits, she must admit that this gown looked out of the world.

It was an ivory long-sleeved gown embellished with pearls and delicate floral embroidery. The gown glistened so beautifully under the light that it took Elvira's breath away.

"This is for me?" Elvira did not expect this beautiful gown as a gift from Tracy.

"Yes, Mrs. Gilbert told me that you're her newlywedded granddaughter-in-law. So she wanted to have a gown tailored for you as a wedding gift," Aurora replied. "Ms. Willis, please try it on. If the fit isn't right, I will alter it immediately." She smiled as she led Elvira to the dressing room.

All girls would love to have beautiful clothes, and Elvira was no exception.

All eyes were on her as Elvira stepped out of the dressing room. Aurora, who had been slightly worried about Elvira's ability to pull off the outfit, was pleasantly surprised by what she saw.

The gown hugged Elvira's curves perfectly, accentuating her figure in all the right places. The intricate details and beautiful fabric were brought to life by Elvira, who wore it with elegance and grace. The room was filled with a collective gasp as everyone was blown away by her stunning appearance.

"Ms. Willis, please let me style your hair for you." Aurora had never taken the initiative to style a client's hair. But, she was determined to do an exceptional job for Elvira because she recognized the significance of the overall appearance and wanted to ensure that every detail was perfect.

The studio was filled with an air of anticipation as everyone waited to see how Elvira would look in the luxurious gown and a matching hairstyle.

"Please do your magic," Elvira said as she sat in front of the mirror.

Aurora's fingers danced with grace as she swiftly braided Elvira's hair. With a gentle touch, she gathered the braids into a loose yet refined low bun that perfectly complemented Elvira's dress. Even without a hint of makeup, Elvira radiated natural beauty. Every person in the studio found themselves drawn to Elvira's presence, their gazes lingering in admiration as they were captivated by her effortless beauty.

When she left the studio, their eyes were still on her. Only when Elvira was too far away to be seen did they turn to each other and start talking excitedly about her.

"She's so beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful person in this world? I almost wanted to ask for an autographed picture!" one of the staff exclaimed.

They had seen so many beauties in their studio, but Elvira's beauty was one of a kind.

Another staff member said, "It's such a pity that she isn't an actress! If she ever becomes one, I will be her fan forever!

"Oh my god! I think I might have fallen in love with her!" A female staff cried out loud.

"Stop chatting and get back to work!" Aurora stared at her staff, speechless about their actions. As she walked back into the studio, she thought, 'Ms. Willis is so beautiful! I need to talk to Mrs. Gilbert more often to have more chances to make dresses for her granddaughter-in-law.

Elvira commanded the attention of all who crossed her path as she strolled down the street in that dress. Heads turned in unison, eyes widening in awe as they caught sight of her, with some instinctively reaching for their phones to take pictures of her. Amidst the sea of admiring glances, one pedestrian was so entranced by Elvira's presence that he even collided with a light pole.

Elvira's gaze fell upon a mobile phone store. Thinking of getting Tracy a new phone, she entered the store, the gentle chime of the door announcing her arrival.

Elvira was browsing through the series of mobile phones on display when a staff member approached her with a warm smile, eager to assist. After better understanding her needs and preferences, the staff member introduced the various gadgets in the store. Elvira, do you find it interesting to follow me around?" a familiar yet grumpy voice echoed through the air. Elvira turned to the source of the familiar voice and found Calvin standing behind her, his brows furrowed in frustration.

Calvin came out with a friend to run some errands. However, as they went about their day, his friend suddenly remarked that Elvira seemed to be following them. If his friend hadn't said anything, he would not have noticed Elvira's presence at all. When Elvira turned around, Calvin was caught off guard. 'Wait... that's Elvira Willis?' he thought.

Standing beside Calvin, John Smith gazed at Elvira without restraint. He had always known Elvira was beautiful, but he hadn't anticipated just how stunning she would look with a bit of dressing up. "She's definitely more beautiful than Judy Willis," a thought raced through his mind.

'He must be blind to break up with such a stunning girl and start dating Judy, who's just average-looking, John mused, glancing at Calvin.
