Sadie had no choice but to comply. As long as Micah didn't object, Amelia's words might as well be law.

Back in her room, Sadie was so livid that she threw all the pillows on the bed to the floor. She felt humiliated being with Micah, like a disreputable mistress kept in the shadows, repeatedly shamed by Amelia, the legitimate wife. However, she wasn't the other woman. Micah was not married, nor had he declared any commitment to Amelia.

Besides, Sadie had no idea that Amelia even existed when she was with him.

"Sadie!" Victoria's voice came through, "Your door was open, so I just came in."

"Victoria!" Sadie quickly asked, "Are you leaving? I'll go with you."

"I'm staying to help sort things out," Victoria replied. "My room is right next door to yours. Let's stay here tonight and head back to the office tomorrow together." Sadie felt helpless. "Alright then."

"Amelia sent over a dress," Victoria motioned towards the doorway.

"Please, come in." Sadie didn't want to make things difficult for the staff.

Two stylists walked in carrying a designer gown, accompanied by a makeup artist, who held an elegant box filled with jewelry and shoes.

One of them said politely, "Miss Roth, this ensemble was sent over by Ms. Amelia. Are you available now? May we assist you with your look?"

Sadie glanced at the gown, considering how best to decline. She wasn't keen on attending the so-called party.

In a hushed tone, Victoria advised, "It's a star-studded event tonight, with many business moguls attending. With so many eyes on you, Ms. Amelia won't dare do anything improper."

"There's no point in me going if it's filled with hotshots," Sadie replied to the stylists. "Please let Ms. Amelia know I appreciate the thought..."

The stylists looked at her with pleading eyes. "Ms. Amelia said if you don't show up, we shouldn't bother returning."

Hearing that, Sadie relented. "Alright, then."

"I'll discuss some matters with Andrew. Get yourself ready," Victoria said before hurrying off.

Seated at the vanity, Sadie let the stylists work their magic.

Her hair had just been washed and was simply styled into loose curls after a light makeup application; her flawless skin made the process quick and easy.

The stylists began to help her into the dress.

Once on, Sadie was taken aback. "Isn't this dress a bit too revealing?"

The daring deep V-cut both in the front and back showcased her cleavage and nearly bared her back down to the lower spine. The dress was long, but the high slit on the right leg risked exposing more with just a slight movement... The dress' pearly white color was stunning, and the satin-like material was soft and smooth. Any hair falling on it would just slide off...

Not just anyone could pull off such a gown. It demanded a perfect figure: a full bust, a sensual behind, a waspish waist, and flawless skin.

And Sadie had it all!

"My goodness, Miss Roth, your figure is simply impeccable. This gown seems too challenging for most, but on you, it looks like it was made to measure." "Absolutely, it's breathtaking~"

"Seeing Miss Roth out of her work uniform and into this, you can't help but stare!"

Amid the stylists' excited exclaims, Sadie contemplated her reflection. Even with her hair cascading around her, she couldn't help but feel exposed.

"A dress so few in the world could wear, and Ms. Amelia chose to send it to me. She sure thinks highly of me," Sadie mused with a mix of sarcasm and flattery. Even though her hair covered some of her skin, the gown left little to the imagination, revealing more than intended.
