The company had been busy these past few days with the press conference. Even if it was me, I couldn't stand such a high intensity work. Fortunately, the matter was almost settled.
Soon, it was the day of the ball.
As I sat in the office signing the last document, I looked up at the computer. It was three o'clock. Thinking that the party was to be prepared in advance, I prepared to go home.
Before I left, I told Little Tang to prepare the rest of the documents and ask her to send them to me tomorrow morning. Suddenly she hurried back to her desk, opened a drawer, and took out a paper bag.
"Director Ye Supervisor, this is the jewelry that you told me to buy last time. I almost forgot, you said that you needed it for today's party." She looked embarrassed.
"Don't make that mistake again." I took the paper bag and left the office. What I meant is that this girl didn't make any movements at all. I thought she had already been sent home, so I should keep an even tighter watch over her from now on.
After the driver sends me downstairs, I let him go. At night, Jiang Yu will send me there.
When I returned home, Jiang Yu was already waiting for me.
"It's still early, take a bath before you go out. The bath water is already ready for you." He came over and took my bag, then carefully helped me remove my earrings and necklace, then helped me remove my makeup before I went to take a bath.
"Qianqian, I've seen your invitation card already. I've chosen a red dress for you. Come over later to see if you like it." Without looking, it was obvious that he had chosen the right thing.
Today, Jiang Yu will still be the one to make up for me. His technique was even better than some makeup artists I knew. This man was truly full of surprises.
After the skin care, he started putting on makeup for me. He added two drops of essence to the foundation solution and mixed them evenly before applying them to my face. And thanks to my normal skin care, I don't have any powder at all.
While I was painting my eye makeup, with my eyes closed, I could feel his slightly hot hands touching my skin. I actually felt a kind of numbing sensation. I must have been too tired recently, so I had this illusion.
"Qianqian, I finished drawing." He patted me on the shoulder and motioned me to look in the mirror.
She had bright eyes and white teeth, and was as beautiful as a fairy. She was a great beauty of the East.
When I looked in the mirror, he began to make my hair. Watching him flutter my hair around in his hands made me think it was a beautiful picture.
I was a little surprised when my hairstyle was about to take shape. He hardly ever did that for me.
Perhaps it was because he saw my puzzled expression that he couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry, you'll know when you change into the formal attire."
This hairstyle was quite unique, different from the usual refined style, it looked very delicate. The hair that he had combed was tied up into a strand. If one looked carefully, they could see that he had braided a lot of patterns inside, but the end of the hair let the hair fall apart.
Then he led me to the cloakroom, opened the closet door, and showed me the dress he had chosen for me.
Sure enough, Jiang Yu's insight was deep in my heart.
Very eye-catching Chinese red, with a hollow design on the back, the complex design makes people sigh in admiration. One had to know that these were all stitches made by the best lady in the country with traditional needlework techniques.
Half sleeve design, lets the person appear generous and does not lose grace. The hem was the most satisfying part of my dress, a slanted wavy skirt, part of it dragging the floor, but it did not affect my movements at all.
When he took out the high heels he had chosen, he went to change his clothes. I adjusted my clothes in the cloakroom and began to recall some of the usual steps. Although I'm not going to dance at the ball, just in case.
Seeing that Jiang Yu still hadn't come out, I opened the paper bag that Little Tang gave me. Inside were four dark gray velvet boxes. Inside was a complete set of jewelry, from earrings to bracelets. It was all written by Italian designer Alyton, who is renowned around the world.
After I was done, I took out a newly bought handbag and packed the items that I brought with me. After everything was done, Jiang Yu also changed his clothes.
It was rare to see him dressed so seriously. His well-ironed suit added a trace of charm to his solemnity. He did not bring a tie, but instead some playful striped bow tie.
"Let's go." Seeing that he had also changed his shoes, I handed him the car keys and left the cloakroom.
When they arrived at the car park, Jiang Yu quickly started up the car and drove towards the venue. On the way, he did not know why, but he did not say a single word.
I was glad he didn't say anything. After all, my attitude toward him hadn't changed from a simple money deal to a true couple.
Today's venue is at the five-star hotel in the center of the city. After driving the car to the entrance of the hotel, a doorman came up to open the door. After Jiang Yu gave him the car key, he pulled me up to the red carpet.
In the face of so many media and camera flash, I feel nothing but the glare. I have seen too many of these occasions and have long been accustomed to them.
After she expressionlessly pulled Jiang Yu into the arena, there were already whispers amongst the media.
"This Ye Qianya is an ice beauty. After taking so many photos, I have never seen her smile before."
"What's wrong with that? You're a newcomer, so you don't know." I've filmed so many events and I've never seen her smile! "
"Hey, have you guys noticed Ye Qianya's date today? I don't think I've seen it before? "
"There was even someone who caught a picture of this man driving to the company to bring her home. It should be his boyfriend, right?"
"Since when did she have such a handsome boyfriend? Didn't she have a deep relationship with her ex-husband?"
Ignoring their blabbering, I brought Jiang Yu into the arena.
The venue was already filled with people. I was going to find a place to sit down, but I saw a lot of big clients and a couple of companies I worked with, so I went up to say hello.
"I'll go say hello, then come back. If there's nothing else, then just sit here and wait for me." I took a glass of white wine from the waiter's tray and walked to the center of the room.
"Long time no see, Miss Ye. She's really getting younger and prettier!" Tomorrow's group, Chief Li greeted.
"Director Li is too kind, I hope that I can cooperate more with you in the future." I pretended to be affectionate.
There was no other way. In such an occasion, he must learn to wear a fake mask. You only need to praise him. After that, everything will be fine. Even I, who don't want to get close to others, had no choice but to submit for the sake of Ye’s.
After a long time of pleasantries, I was relieved and headed for the lounge.
At this moment, the lights in the hall dimmed.
The ball was about to begin.
