She held it up against herself and asked Kristopher, with a blend of timidity and hope, "What do you think aboutwearing this tonight?"

He hesitated briefly before approaching and returning the nightgown to the closet.
Then, noticing a more conservative pajama set in the corner, he handed it to her.
Feigning misunderstanding of her flirtatious intent, he commented firmly, "You need to keep warm during your pregnancy. It's not wise to wear something so revealing." Aliza, visibly upset, tossed the pajamas onto the floor. "It's way too hot for that! Why should I bundle up? Wearing all this in bed is like wearing a winter coat!" Kristopher remained calm, retrieving the pajamas and feeling the fabric. He softly explained, "These are silk. The long sleeves and pants will actually help you stay cooler." Aliza, lost for words, responded impatiently, "Never mind, you better go back to work. I'm going to bathe." She assumed Kristopher would stay out of concern for her feelings. However, Kristopher pushed the pajamas back into her arms. "If you need anything, just call me. I'm leaving now." Without another look, he exited the bedroom.

They operate exclusively online with made-to-order services. Their designs are akin to the boutique we visited, but they offer superior customer service." Alethea's response cafter a short pause, saying, "Thank you for the recommendation. However, I don't have any upcoming occasions to shop for a new dress." Her response subtly dismissed Aliza's attempt at connection, signaling a lack of interest in further engagement.

Aliza had been through this countless times while trying to win over Isonridge's socialites, 9 by now, it hardly fazed her. It was all just a gof mutual benefit-once both sides got what they wanted, there was nothing more to it.
She casually replied, "True, there aren't many events, but the season of season film festivals and awards is upon us. I'm curious about Carrie's choice of gown for the Best Actress award."
Alethea sent back an emoji and said, "The awards haven't been handed out yet. Winning Best Actress is uncertain until it happens. Counting on something before it's secured can lead to disappointment."
