Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 147 Why Do I Need to Dress Up?

The next day, Solrace Corporation would hold a press conference to launch its new fund.

Clara and Horace woke up early.

Horace dressed more formally than usual. He wore a simple but elegant tailored suit which flattered his

face and exaggerated his grace.

Clara couldn't take her eyes off him. She grinned without noticing it.

Horace looked at Clara in the mirror. "What are you smiling about?" asked him.

"I think you look cute." Clara 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."

Clara winked at him.

The doorbell buzzed.

Someone rang the bell.

It was so early. Who could it be?

Clara opened the door, and a group of people came in with a bunch of cases and equipment.

Clara was stunned and didn't know what was happening.

"Good morning, Mr. Kirkland and Mrs. Kirkland!"

Clara 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? Clara 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 auction last time.

For god's sake, the torture began. Clara 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!

Clara 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 Clara in the mirror.

Clara 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 necklace for Clara 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?"

Clara nodded, "Yes, it's gorgeous. But it's too expensive, I don't deserve it."

"You deserve it." Horace said firmly.

Clara touched the necklace. It was a souvenir, invested with his consideration. She liked it.

She suddenly thought of the crystal necklace. Would he still care for that necklace today now?

After a long time, the dressing was finally done.

With the hair tied back to a high ponytail, Clara looked vivacious and graceful. The overpriced one-

piece and shining necklace all flattered her. She had transformed into another person.

She turned around in front of the mirror. Clara felt weird.

She preferred casual and comfy 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 Clara could take the subway in this outfit. Horace asked Isaac to driver her to

work, while he took another car.

Once Clara 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. Clara 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 Clara 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-looking lady walked in, she thought it was a customer. She walked up and

asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Sarah, it's me, Clara." Clara 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? Clara?" Sarah opened her mouth in surprise.

"Oh my, it's Clara!"

"You look so beautiful!"

Everyone was stunned. Was this the Clara they knew? She looked like a noblewoman.

Did Clara have something to celebrate? Or did she lose her mind? People tried to work it out.

Sarah touched Clara'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 Clara get so much money!

"Wow, Clara, I saw this dress in a magazine. This brand is really expensive. Is it Haute Couture?"

Clara quickly checked her look. She felt so weird.

Moreover, Sarah spotted the shining diamond necklace on Clara's neck.

Sarah pointed at it, "Clara, is this a real diamond or a knockoff? It looks real."

Clara was nervous and hurriedly said, "Well, it's a knockoff."

"Fake? Did you buy it on Amazon?" Sarah asked.

Clara brushed it off.

Clara's outfit was so fabulous, and they were all impressed by her. It turned out that Clara was so Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

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 Clara. 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 the last 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. Clara 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 Clara, 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.

Clara was also busy.

The press conference was about to begin. People from GLAM were ready to go.
