The next day, Solrace Corporation would hold a press conference tounch its new fund.
ra and Horace woke up early.
Horace dressed more formally than usual. He wore a simple but elegant tailored suit which ttered his face and exaggerated his grace.
ra couldn’t take her eyes off him. She grinned without noticing it.
Horace looked at ra in the mirror. “What are you smiling about?” asked him.
“I think you look cute.” ra answered honestly.
Horace grinned and said, “You should also dress up today.”
“I don’t need to. I’m only a journalist. GLAM has received the invitation, so we will be there today.” ra winked at him.
The doorbell buzzed.
Someone rang the bell.
It was so early. Who could it be?
ra opened the door, and a group of people came in with a bunch of cases and equipment.
ra was stunned and didn’t know what was happening.
“Good morning, Mr. Kirnd and Mrs. Kirnd!”
ra looked at Horace in astonishment. “What are they doing here…”
Horace, on the wheelchair, said to them, “Here you are. I’ll leave her to you.”
What? ra was all at sea.
Those people opened the cases. There were cosmetics, spa and scissor… Horace also prepared a one-piece and jewelries.
Now she figured out that they were going to dress her up, just like the auctionst time.
For god’s sake, the torture began. ra felt dressing up was no different from torturing.
They put mask on her face, did makeup, put on nail polish, trimmed her hair… Finally, everything was done!
ra was perplexed. “What’s the point of all of these?”
Horace said, “The press conference today is significant to Solrace Corporation. I hope you can show up stunningly.
Spellbound, Horace stared at ra in the mirror.
ra found it ridiculous. “I’m only a journalist. Why should I dress up? I’m just covering the news.”
Horace put on a heart-shaped diamond ne for ra from behind. The diamond was rather clear. It dazzled under the light.
“This is a gift for you, a souvenir of the press conference. Do you like it?”
ra nodded, “Yes, it’s gorgeous. But it’s too expensive, I don’t deserve it.”
“You deserve it.” Horace said firmly.
ra touched the ne. It was a souvenir, invested with his consideration. She liked it.
She suddenly thought of the crystal ne. Would he still care for that ne today now?
After a long time, the dressing was finally done.
With the hair tied back to a high ponytail, ra looked vivacious and graceful. The overpriced one-piece and shining ne all ttered her. She had transformed into another person.
She turned around in front of the mirror. ra felt weird.
She preferred casual andfy look. Now, in high heels and a fancy dress, she didn’t even know how to walk.
She asked, “Do I have to wear this? Is it really necessary?”
Horace ginned, “Yes, you have to.”
Well, she couldn’t defy her husband.
There was no way that ra could take the subway in this outfit. Horace asked Isaac to driver her to work, while he took another car.
Once ra walked in the hall, many men fixed their eyes on her. She hurriedly walked into the elevator, with her head down.
People in the elevator also stared at her. ra felt her palms were sweating. She never received as much attention, though she had worked here for years.
She regretted that she listened to Horace. She couldn’t find another outfit to change, so ra had to go to the office.
Sarah, Stephanie and the photographer Luis were busy preparing for the press conference and walked up and down the office.
When Sarah saw an elegant-lookingdy walked in, she thought it was a customer. She walked up and asked, “Hello, who are you looking for?”
“Sarah, it’s me, ra.” ra whispered with her head down.
“OMG!” Sarah cried out.
After hearing Sarah’s cry, people all looked at them, thinking she bumped into a robber or something.
“Is it really you? ra?” Sarah opened her mouth in surprise.
“Oh my, it’s ra!”
“You look so beautiful!”
Everyone was stunned. Was this the ra they knew? She looked like a noblewoman.
Did ra have something to celebrate? Or did she lose her mind? People tried to work it out.
Sarah touched ra’s dress and looked at the tag. Gosh! It was a luxurious brand. The dress looked like haute couture, worth at least a hundred thousand. Where did ra get so much money!
“Wow, ra, I saw this dress in a magazine. This brand is really expensive. Is it Haute Couture?”
ra quickly checked her look. She felt so weird.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
Moreover, Sarah spotted the shining diamond ne on ra’s neck.
Sarah pointed at it, “ra, is this a real diamond or a knockoff? It looks real.”
ra was nervous and hurriedly said, “Well, it’s a knockoff.”
“Fake? Did you buy it on Amazon?” Sarah asked.
ra brushed it off.
ra’s outfit was so fabulous, and they were all impressed by her. It turned out that ra was so stunning after dressed up. They used to think that she was merely good-looking.
Darren came out with the document in hand. He was stunned when he saw ra. She was so beautiful today, looking like another person.
This was the second time to see her all dressed up. The first time was at thest charity auction.
Darren suddenly remembered that today was the press conference of the new fund of Solrace Corporation. No wonder she dressed like this.
But he still wondered what she dressed up for. She didn’t usually look like this.
He stared at her and pondered. ra never stood out with her beauty in the past. But since Horace was around, she began to shine, as if she was surrounded by the stars.
That ra, that young, beautiful, carefree and innocent girl back in university, gradually faded away.
Darren’s heart ached.
Everyone began to prepare for the press conference.
ra was also busy.
The press conference was about to begin. People from GLAM were ready to go.
