Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

Chapter 25 Take Her to a Banquet

He then turns around to look at Luke and says, giggling, “It’ll be a grand banquet tonight. Leaders and

artists of Jade Picture will present. Who will be your companion?”

Luke holds his hand abruptly and lifts his lips slightly, “That girl, of course.”

His words scare George almost out of the sofa.

Luke’s smile looks extremely horrible.

“It’s Luke’s idea?” Jenny looks at the stylists around her confusedly.

A moment ago, she is learning to make western dim sum from Mrs. Lu while a moment later, she is

taken to an upmarket dress shop.

“Yes.” A stylist answers politely, “Mr. Lu said he’ll be here after fetching the jewelry. Please cooperate

with us and we’ll do the dressing for you.”

Jenny hesitates before nodding, “Alright then.”

Her words bring relief to the stylists who get the work started at once.

About half an hour later, Jenny stands in front of a full-length mirror, dressed in the light purple haute

couture. Her slim arms show and she looks tall in the dress, with a light smile on her face.

Those stylists have worked for many pretty artists, but they are stunned by Jenny’s freshness and

elegance.

“Mr. Lu, welcome!”

Hearing the polite greeting, Jenny stops admiring herself and turns around immediately only to find

Luke in a black suit walking steadily to her with a small exquisite bag in his hand.

The man's hair was meticulously clinging to the back of his head, revealing his broad forehead. His

eyes filled with a smile. He has a tall and slender figure. The long legs under the trousers are extremely

eye-catching and he is outstanding in temperament.

He stops in front of Jenny and admires her for a while, “You look beautiful.”

Jenny’s face instantly flushes. She bites her lip and says, “Thank you. You look handsome.”

People around them smile sneakily.

Luke takes the jewelry out of the box and wears it for Jenny by himself. At the sight of the brand, Jenny

gets too nervous to speak, “Venus...”

“Yes, Goddess Venus.” Luke finds her reaction quite intriguing and continues her words, “I borrow it

from Eshmour for tonight’s banquet.”

Jenny doesn’t know what to say.

He can even borrow the jewelry worth nearly $850,000...

The cloakroom in Luke’s mansion.

Jenny is dazzled as she admires in surprise the sparkling winter key collection, Goddess Venus, from

Eshmour.

Eshmour always defines itself as an upmarket brand, which doesn’t lend the jewelry to even famous

artists. Only women with a large fortune and power buy their jewelry on their own. Up till now, Sandy

Chen has remained the first Chinese female to wear it as a brand ambassador last year.

Sandy is of course more than being famous, but the powerful movie queen who has won two movie

awards, the most authoritative ones, last year. Flop plays have never been her choice; all her movies

have won awards. It’s not exaggerating to say all her nominations will come to awards.

“This should be first worn by the brand ambassador on the winter jewelry exhibition, shouldn’t it?”

Jenny asks in a hesitated tone, worrying it would arouse any trouble if she was to wear it.

She’d still love to work in the line of entertainment, so she has to avoid any offence, in particular, to an

idol of hers, Sandy Chen.

Luke looks calm and gets the necklace from the box.

It’s said that Goddess Venus necklace has two sets, one is the fine-ripple platinum necklace with two

chains inlaid with broken diamonds as pendants, and the other one is the caved-hollow fine platinum

necklace with a pendant inlaid with a natural amethyst. The carved-hollow design not only shows the

texture but also is lighter to wear.

Two sets together are called Goddess Venus.

The one hangs on Luke’s hands is the ripple one, making his hands look as fair as jade. Jenny finds a

man’s hands also could be beautiful.

She is lost in thought, attracted by his hands, so that she doesn’t realize Luke’s arm circle her neck.

“The company is looking for a new brand ambassador. Whoever wears this in the winter exhibition

doesn’t matter. What matters to them is who can wear next year’s key collection as a brand

ambassador in the spring exhibition.”

The low voice recalls Jenny. There was a scorching breath on her neck, which made her froze.

Instantly, she feels panic and hesitates to escape to her safety zone.

“Don’t move.” Luke says in an ordering tone.

She is stunned, raising her arm to get the necklace from Luke. She mumbles, “I got it. I can...”

“You know how much it costs. If you break it, you’ll have to compensate and even get involved in a

lawsuit...”

Hearing that, Jenny’s arm abruptly gets stiff and her hands maintain in the air for quite a while. She

could nearly get the necklace but forces herself to put down the hand after giving his words a thought.

A wise man knows when to retreat. If she really broke it, she would be broken as well.

The beautiful Goddess Venus collection seems like a hot potato to Jenny. She feels like her skin is

burnt and hesitates before asking, “Do I have to wear it?”

“Yes.” It’s a strong and steady answer. As Jenny breathes, she smells the light Cologne, which is

unique to Luke.

Watching Jenny’s helpless look, Luke frowns slightly and reflects whether his tone was too serious.

A moment later, he says blandly.

“President of Eshmour is looking for a new brand ambassador of next spring’s exhibition since the last

one doesn’t match the new image. But the access threshold has been reduced lately to artists present

on various ceremonies, so you’re just one of them.”

It sounds like a purposed explanation since his voice sounds much more caring, different from the

uniformly strict and cold one.

Hearing that, his assistant Joyce opens the mouth wide enough to put an egg in and Liliana, a

uniformly calm secretary, twitches the mouth corners. They all looks at their boss unbelievably.

He never explains much. It seems strange!

Luke seems to feel their strange eyes and turns around to hint them a warning. They don’t even dare to

breathe and put on their normal look immediately.

“Oh.” says Jenny who then immerses herself in her world, thinking about her idol gets replaced, so that

she doesn’t realize what Luke is really trying to say.

Luke helps Jenny wear the silver necklace with the help of stylists. Her skin looks even fairer with the

necklace and the purple dress.

Jenny is stunned by herself in the mirror.

She has tried various evening dresses which were all pink ones, for the previous company defined her

as a young girl, even though she is 20 instead of 17. But she had no choice as an employee.

Now, in this purple dress, she looks as elegant as celebrities, and as sexy as young women with the

naked back design. The jewelry even adds more beauty to her.

“So pretty.” Jenny can’t help saying out her mind.

The stylist beside her puts on an understanding smile, and other people cast a look at Luke together.

“Do you mean you’re pretty or the style is pretty?”

It sounds cold but it’s actually a joke, which can be told from his eyes.

“Both, okay? The dress is pretty, but I’m not bad.” Jenny lifts her eyebrows with her dark eyes

sparkling, which looks cunning.

Luke stares at her eyes and feels a strong beat in his heart. Over the past years, he never has such

feelings.

“Fine.” His hoarse voice rarely sounds warm.

All the people here are astonished to see that.

“Come over.” He raises his arms and slightly waves at her to invite her to come.

Jenny doesn’t understand but touches her face and turns around at the mirror, “What? Anything on my

face?”

Luke frowns and walks to her.

Joyce pulls Lilian’s sleeve and tips stylists a wink before they all leave the room silently. Only Jenny

and Luke remain in the big dressing room.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
