Chapter 19 The Center of Attention
"Cora, Sally, are you here to buy shoes too?"
"Yes! Such bad luck," Sally snapped.
Seeing that Cora and Sally didn't seem to notice anything from what she had just said, Mia breathed a
sigh of relief and smiled, ignoring Sally's provocation. "Sally, you should really try to grow up and
restrain your temper."
Then she turned to the woman beside her. "Let me introduce you. This is my best friend, Jane. She
works in the cardiology department at your hospital. Jane, meet Cora and Sally. They just started their
internship at First Hospital."
Cora frowned. She had known several doctors in the cardiology department but had never seen this
woman before.
Could she be the highly accomplished medical student that Matt had mentioned, who had skipped
grades like her?
This woman was stunningly beautiful, with perfectly applied makeup that enhanced her features. She
exuded an aura of tranquility, probably a perfect image of ‘first love’ in the eyes of a man.
Mia, standing next to her, looked like a clown in comparison.
While Cora assessed Jane, Jane was also observing her. With her delicate oval face and shimmering
eyes, Cora emanated a gentle and pure charm, like a pristine water lily.
Yet her figure possessed a mesmerizing allure, combining purity and temptation, captivating any man
who glanced at her.
In Jane's eyes, besides a fleeting sense of amazement, there was also confusion. Cora's demeanor
and aura seemed reminiscent of someone, but she couldn't quite place who it was.
Jane didn't delve deeper into her thoughts, as there were countless people in the world who bore
resemblances for no apparent reason.
However, she now understood why Mia had been so anxious and insistent on involving her in the
preparations for the engagement. But none of this concerned her, so she greeted them gracefully.
"Hello, I'm Jane. We'll be colleagues from now on," she said, extending her hand. Cora and Sally
responded in kind.
With the notion of not making enemies among the hospital doctors during their internship, Sally decided novelbin
not to further engage with Mia. She picked up a pair of shoes. "Cora, try these on."
The shoes were champagne-colored with a delicate ankle strap adorned with diamonds. They looked
beautiful, but that would depend on who was wearing them. If the feet were on the wider side, the
shoes could look rather tacky.
Mia ignored Sally and Cora and continued to look at the shoes she liked until the exclamation of a
shopping assistant caught her attention.
"Oh my goodness, these shoes fit you as if they were tailor-made, miss!"
Unable to resist, Mia followed the shopping assistant's gaze and saw Cora's feet, perfectly
complementing the shoes, each toe delicate and fair.
"Cora, buy them! Buy them! These shoes, paired with that dress, will make you the center of attention!
You'll become a captivating weapon wherever you walk!"
In her excitement, Sally inadvertently revealed certain information.
Mia quickly caught onto the phrase ‘center of attention.’
So Cora would indeed be attending her engagement party tomorrow?
True, Mia had invited Cora, but she hadn't intended for Cora to steal the spotlight!
She wouldn't allow Cora to dress up beautifully and seduce Eason!
Eason was already indecisive, and if Cora were to captivate him and make him regret his engagement
on the spot, where would that leave Mia and her family's dignity?
Mia immediately handed her credit card to the shopping assistant, who had been marveling at the
shoes on Cora's feet. "I'll take this pair. Pack them for me!"
