As the days sped away Eve made the first move to find herself an evening dress. She’d never really had the occasion to dress up before joining TCR, much less the money. Now she was able to write off a large part of her wardrobe as a business expense. Ben wasn’t the only one to get a kick out of her transformation. One glance from Drew’s dark eyes was like being stroked all over with a velvety-soft brush. Suddenly she was a Woman. A woman moreover who needed a great dress for a big party. Lady Forsythe, who she had met only once and who didn’t appear to recognise her, always looked fabulous. As everyone was going, even Drew’s ex-wife and new high-profile partner, she had to hold her own.

Lisa, as usual, accompanied her on her shopping spree, almost as excited to choose Eve’s outfits as if she were buying for herself. Finally they narrowed it down to three. Hand-beaded lilac lace in the very fashionable slip style, another a sequin and bead encrusted silk chiffon in a green that gave great depth to Eve’s eyes, and classic black with diamanté.

“You’ll have to pull out the jewels,” Lisa said, rustling through the racks.

“What jewels?” Eve called from the cubicle, smoothing the lilac lace over her hips. One had to be in great shape for this kind of gear.

“A beaut pair of diamond earrings would do.”

“Try rhinestones,” Eve laughed.

“No, seriously, I have a pair I could lend you,” Lisa the most generous of friends, said.

“I wouldn’t take them, Lisa.” Eve came out of the booth for inspection. “Thanks all the same. Imagine if I lost your twenty-first birthday present from your mum and dad.”

“They’re insured.” Lisa shrugged that off. “You’re going to a very formal party. I want you to look the goods.”

In the end they all thought the green, Eve handing the garment to the boutique owner who gave her a beaming smile. “I must say I like your style, dear.”

“She should have seen you a few months ago,” Lisa whispered in a joking aside. “Virgin to smart, sexy Vogue. I always said you could be a knockout.”
