The air instantly froze, the silence was unsettling.
Blanche nervously grabbed her dress and looked at Kent who had a complicated face cautiously said, “Sir Lewis, is this …… okay?”
Without waiting for Kent’s answer, the stylist immediately pounced on her and pulled her around, happy, “Look at you, look at you, I told you that you was a diamond in the rough that could stand to be built, look, how good it looks!”
The stylist was even secretly vouching that such a look, once she appeared at the party, would surely wow the crowd!
Blanche was involuntarily pulled around, and Kent looked at the flawless white back, and the knot in his throat rolled up and down unnaturally, as if something was rushing out of his heart.
The stylist was admiring his masterpiece for a while, and it took him a while to realize that the man beside him had never said a word, so he looked at him, only to see that he looked lost in thought, and reached out and waved his hand in front of him, “Sir Lewis?”
“Hmm?”
The stylist, with a fawning face, pushed Blanche in front of him as if to take credit, “Sir Lewis, I wonder if you’re satisfied?”
Kent choked violently and cleared his throat with his hand as a fist against his lips, turning cold and displeased, “What satisfaction, what do you take my assistant for!”
With that, he immediately took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders, covering up the confusing scenery of her back.
“Go! Change her back into her previous clothes and, by the way, remove her make-up!”
Blanche’s cheeks heated up indisputably at the thought of the jacket that also carried his scent draped over her shoulders, but fortunately her face was tinged with blush so that nothing could be seen.
Kent’s words fell, but no one moved for a long time.
The long, narrow phoenix eyes swept around, “What, didn’t you hear what I said? Where are the clothes she just changed out of?”
“This ……”
The stylist’s scalp tingled, “Sir Lewis, is there anything you don’t like? This, this looks so good, even I, a woman, can’t help but be envious and jealous ……”
Kent snorted lightly, “Dressed so revealingly, is it hard to believe that my assistant is specialized in this kind of thing?”
The inexplicable possessiveness made him want to hide this side of her from anyone!
Blanche gathered up her coat and, with a sigh of relief, gave Kent a grateful look.
The latter looked away unnaturally, and when he saw the shop assistant bringing her clothes over, he said, “Go and change out of this unbecoming outfit so you don’t look like an eyesore.”
What the hell ……
Blanche bristled, “You’re the one who asked me to change ……”
Kent narrowed his eyes and looked over at her with a smirk, “Excuse me, assistant Rodriguez, what did you say?”
“……”
The threatening, harmless face smiled at her, causing her whole body to shiver, instantly taking back all her words and shaking her head, “No, no, I didn’t say anything!”
Dropping the words, she hurried back to the dressing room with her clothes in her arms and quickly changed into her original clothes.
Without the confines of her revealing dress, the tinge of unease in her heart was finally calmed.
Patting her chest and gathering her clothes, the man’s thick jacket was cradled in her arms and her cheeks heated up again.
“No, no, no!” Blanche gave a quick fearful slap to her cheeks to clear her head.
Her image was his image, she was his assistant, so naturally he had to care for her. Those mannerisms just now were just for his own sake, don’t think too much about it.
She persuaded herself with her hands over her chest, the fluttering in her heart had subsided, but she still couldn’t help but lose it.
Quickly gathering her thoughts, she walked out of the dressing room with a calm and indifferent face.
The stylist quietly walked up to her and slipped her a business card, “Miss Rodriguez, if you ever leave, please do contact me, I need models like you!”
Blanche laughed but said, “Thanks, I’ll take the card, but I’d rather not do the modelling thing, I’m not interested, and ……”
She had no intention of changing jobs for the time being, let alone leaving Kent’s side, unless he didn’t want her.
“Unless what?” The stylist suddenly couldn’t help but be curious.
Blanche snapped back to her senses and realised she had blurted out, waving her hand, “It’s nothing, I was just talking out of turn, don’t take it personally.”
The stylist was puzzled, she had seen a lot of people and she could tell that Blanche was hiding something, but before she could find out, Kent was getting impatient with the intimate chatter between them.
“Hey, let’go , how long are you going to wait?” He frowned with a look of displeasure.
The stylist heard his voice coldly and let go of Blanche immediately in shock.
Blanche guffawed back at the aside, before trotting over to him holding the dress and handing him his outer jacket, “Thank you for the dress.”
“Hmph!” Kent opened his arms obediently.
Blanche froze in mid-air as she handed out her jacket and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Kent glanced at the mute woman, “Put it on for me, what are you standing there for?”
“Oh.” Blanche responded then, slightly apologetic, “Sorry, I’m just so bad at reading people’s eyes.”
With that, he bowed his head and quickly slipped his jacket on, straightening the hem and cuffs for him.
Only then did Kent nod in satisfaction and say, “Let’s go.”
Blanche responded and followed his lead.
The stylist looked at the pair’s distant backs, suddenly lost in thought, and after a few seconds it dawned on him. ……
Without the confines of a dress, Blanche’s pace was a little lighter and she was about to get into the car, but stopped to look at Kent, “Sir Lewis, are you driving or should I?”
“I’ll just drive!” Kent didn’t have the heart to say, getting in the car and not forgetting to add, “Get me a driver tomorrow, I don’t want to drive myself every day and I don’t want to die at some point from your roadkill driving skills!”
Blanche replied, but in her heart she couldn’t help but sulk, was she really that bad at driving? Was she really that bad at driving? It was just a little scare.
It’s as if she’s killing him ……
As he spoke, Kent had already started the car silently, and Blanche quickly fastened her seatbelt and steadied her mind.
