A Cinderella Christmas Page #3

Nicholas, your father wanted your

life to have meaning and so do I.

You have a huge fortune

at your fingertips

that you refuse

to even attempt to claim.

Most men fear marriage, I know your

father did. But they still do it.

Most men don't have a trust account that

requires marriage to claim their inheritance.

Most men don't have

an inheritance.

I would be happy

with a paycheck

and some respect

for the work I do.

It's easier to respect someone

who's mature and stable.

So it's mature and stable to get

married to someone that you don't love

because you'll be punished

if you wait for the real thing!

It cannot be

that hard, Nicholas.

You know your soul-mate isn't

someone you've already dated.

And that eliminates a huge percentage

of the population, darling.

Have fun at your party.

Hey, Candace.

It's me.

You have your body wrap in 30 minutes

time and tanning at the same place.

I'm going to drop your

dress off at the salon

and you're going to get your

hair and nails and make-up done.

The ball starts at 8:00 p.m.. Do not

be late and you need your stocking.

Man, by the way you were running, I'm

guessing your mom nixed your proposal.

It's time for a change, Max.

Well, guests are going

to arrive in a couple of hours.

I suggest you put on

your suit and mask.

I'm not talking about my clothes. I'm

talking about these public breakups

followed by an argument with my mother,

followed by punishment at work.

I'm sick of this cycle.

What am I doing wrong?

Nick, I've known you since

we were teenagers, man.

And you seem to date the same

woman over and over again.

She looks different.

Well, she's not, man. She's not. Do you even

know what you're looking for in a woman?

I figured when I found her,

I'd just know.

So why is she

so hard to find.

Because you have this long

line of gorgeous women

who throw themselves at you and tell you

what you want to hear, blocking your view.

Which is fine by me, because as your

best friend and personal assistant,

I do not mind being surrounded

by beautiful superficial women.

But the woman

of your dreams...

she may be a little

deeper in the crowd.

There you are. Finally. I was

about to give up on you.

-Are you Zelda?

-I am.

And you're the woman who

called about the custom dress.

Yes, that's right, and you have

a stocking and a mask to match?

Yes, I was inspired

to design this dress

as soon as I heard about

the Christ-Masquerade ball.

What a brilliant idea

for the party.

I put this dress aside for you. It's going

to go beautifully with your coloring.

Well, it's not for me,

but the person it's for has the same

coloring, so it's good, I guess.

But I designed the dress
