"Chopard." Esme Cullen said as she noticed my necklace, "I must say you've got an elegant taste, Isabella."
It was a great deal to impress Esme Cullen! She was one of the best dressed women in our business and social circle. I guess Edward's father had died when he was young, and Esme had taken care of their business empire with Edward's grandfather. She was a very confident, headstrong woman, and her personality was something I had really admired!
I was really glad to impress her. I had hired best stylists for today's party. Esme was throwing an engagement party for us, and it was our first appearance as a couple. Of course, I didn't want to take any chance!
"Isabella, Isabella, Isabella. You're looking so pretty!" Alice Cullen, Edward's younger brother's wife arrived at that time and commented.
"I guess I'll make sure the things are looking okay." Esme said and left without acknowledging Alice's presence.
"She's very happy right now," Alice laughed. "Finally she's getting a daughter-in-law of her stature!"
I smiled, but I had to admit, she was so loud! No wonder Esme didn't seem to like her. Alice didn't fit in!
If I be honest to myself, I really had my opinions about Jasper Cullen. How could he marry just like anyone in the name of 'love'? Didn't he think about his family's legacy?
Well, I should just be glad that his brother was different!
"You're looking beautiful." Edward said as he entered the room at that time. He was getting ready in another room. I must say his stylist had done a fabulous job!
"Thanks, you're also looking quite dapper," I said. He always looked good! I guess our children would be blessed with amazing genes!
"Well, I'll give you a few minutes alone." Alice winked and left us alone.
"Ready?" he asked.
"No, give me a minute. I'm just trying to make sure everything is perfect." I said as I checked myself in the full size mirror. Everything needed to be perfect tonight. Period.
"Don't worry, you're looking great." he said without looking at me as he adjusted his tie while looking in the mirror. "Mom would have surely commented if anything was wrong. She told me she liked your look."
"Phew!" I said.
"I guess we make a great couple!" he said as he put his arms around my waist and observed us in the mirror.
"Now that's what I call a 'power couple'!" I smiled.
"Yup, equals in every sense!" he said.
