Chapter 39
After the plane landed. I quickly freshened up and got ready for the pala
The gown that Ales chose for me was a yellow satis chiffon gown with pearl tassels along the shoulders. But that wasn’t the real highlight of the gown. The gown’s fit emphasized curves, and the neckline was incredibly flattering The stylist pained it with a diamond necklace that rested around my neck
It was my first time wearing such an extravagant it, and I felt somewhat uncomfortable.
“Are you ready?” Alex asked as he pushed the door open.
The stylist made a final adjustment to my hair. “Mr. Hastings, she’s ready.”
Hearing Alex’s voice, I started to panic. I just wished I could disappear into a hole in the ground
But there was no turning back now. That to brace myself and step forward.
When I saw Alex, there was actually a flicker of emotion in his usually calm gaze, but he quickly concealed it. He looked at me and seemed quite happy. “Not bad.” “Mr. Hastings, you’re not bad yourself,” I replied, trying to keep my tone neutral.
Alex was always eye–catching He had a cold, handsome face with very striking features. Most importantly, he had a very strong presence, but today, he seemed even more stolking
He wore a custom–made ash–gray sult that accentuated his imposing demeanor. His hair was perfectly styled, and he stood tall with his beautiful eyes.
If he won’t the bead of a company, Alex would probably have a lot of fans if he joined the entertainment industry.
I sighed inwardly Someople were just born lucky
“Ms. Ashford, you can take a look and see if anything needs adjusting,” the stylist pushed the mirror VEL
I looked at my reflection and was stunned. This was, without a doubt, the most dazzling moment of my eyes
The yellow gown complimented my fair complexion, which softened my features. My hair had been styled into soft curls and pinned up, which gave me an extra touch of femininity. The gown accentuated the curves on my body, making me look incredibly captivating.
At that moment, Alex walked over and stood beside me.
We truly made a striking pair. Alex was eye–catching, but wasn’t outshone by him
Suddenly, That the ridiculous thought that was the only person in the world who could match Alex so well.
That was ridiculous. I quickly shook the thought from my mind and silently apologized to Alex for thinking that “Let’s go.” Alex said. He extended his arm for me to take.
Perhaps it was because of my earlier thoughts, but couldn’t help but feel that the gesture was a bit too intimate
“He’s just my sponsor He’s the one who pays me. We’re not just employer and employer, we’re enemies too,” I repeated to myself in my mind.
The thought of my family matters quickly cleared my mind of those earlier droughts. I took a deep breath before I placed my hand around Alex’s actre
Airx said softly, “You don’t have to be so nervous. Most of the people at the gala tonight are trying to work with gne Sanse of them are already my partners. No one would dare
ke things difficut for you today.”
Alex’s coost defining trait wasn’t his books–it was actually his wealth.
He had way too much wedthe He controlled stof Grandview’s market. Anyone hoping to get a piece of that ple would naturally have to treat him with the utmost respect.
