Chapter 301 - A lipstick that doesn’t smudge?

Glaring at her, Richard fronwed, "You-what are you doing?"

Letting go of his arm, Emily pursed her lips and apologised, "I am sorry."

"Behave and don't you dare try to tarnish my name or reputation. Don't get too excited after seeing your ex and remember that he is someone's husband now and he loves his wife." Richard reminded Emily. He didn't want to bring her with him but his father forced him to take her. 

"Just mind your own business." Jerking his hands off, Emily walked away.

Richard gritted his teeth but chose not to create a scene in front of everyone. Emily was day by day crossing his border line and getting into his nerves. She was becoming more arrogant and glib. How badly he wanted to strangle her to death or at least kick her out of his life but he couldn't. 

Richard realised that marrying Emily was a very bad decision because the woman had nothing but only a thick-pea sized brain. Initially it was fun with her but later Richard realised that there were other women outside who were much better than Emily. 

He also started hating Emily after whatever happened in his office. After Kevin took over and how he was badly trolled during the meeting, Richard was no more as arrogant as he was in the office. His colleagues started making fun of him but on the other hand, they started talking to him as well. Now, he was on pretty good terms with everyone. 

Richard also realised that maybe he married Emily because he thought it would make him greater than Kevin but he was wrong. In fact, from the very beginning, he was of no match to Kevin. And he also made life more happening and brighter for Kevin by taking away the most toxic thing in his life. 

The initial hatred that he had for Kevin disappeared a long time back. He wanted to talk to him and clear things out but never had the guts to do so.

Presidential suite.

"Oh My God Sil, you look gorgeous." Janet gasped and squealed in excitement.

Silvia chuckled and brushed her fingers through the dress. 

"Kevin is going to faint after seeing you. I am telling you hun only if I was a boy then we wouldn't be only standing here like this. You know what I mean right?" Janet asked.

Just then Kevin entered the room and widened his eyes in shock. His wife was looking gorgeous. 

"Ahh look your husband is here." Janet teased.

When Kevin's and Silvia's eyes met, Silvia blushed.

Scratching his forehead, Kevin said, "Jan, Rocky is looking for you everywhere."

Janet smiled, nodded her head and left. 

Turning towards Kevin, Silvia smiled. Her husband was looking so handsome.

Walking towards, Kevin wrapped his arms around her waist and sighed.

"What happened?" Silvia asked.

"I don't feel like taking you downstairs especially when you are looking so beautiful and tempting." Kevin complained.

Fixing his tie, Silvia pouted her lips and complained, "Even I don't wanna take you out of this room. You look too hot and tempting and it's very hard for a woman not to at least spare a glance at you."

"Hmm well, I am already your Mrs Austin so you don't have to worry." Inching closer, Kevin was about to kiss her when the latter placed her on his lips. 

"I had to mix different shades for this and it was hard so don't even think about it." 

Kevin frowned and puffed his cheeks. He wanted to kiss her but he wasn't allowed it because of that damn lipstick. "Isn't this lipstick...hmmm..what do you women call it?"

"Call what?"

"The one that doesn't smudge." 

Silvia chuckled and helplessly shook her head. "You mean Matte?"

"Ahhh yes, matte. Isn't this lipstick matte? So it won't smudge right?" 

"No way Kev." Hooking her arms around his, Silvia added, "Let's go."

….

Banquet hall.

The entire hall was packed with famous faces and the employees of Glory enterprise.

People were talking with each other trying to pave a way for their business or crack new business deals.

The entrance of the hotel was fleeting with reporters while only a bunch of them were allowed to enter the main hall. 

The reporters were continuously snapping pictures and interviewing people. They didn't want to leave any stone unturned as it was very rare to have everyone under the same roof. 

"What are you nervous for babe?" Rocky asked Janet who kept on tightening her grip around his arm.

Janet gulped in nervousness and asked, "It's not anything big right? I mean so what if everyone will know that I am dating Jacob Wilson?"

Rocky chuckled and vigorously nodded his head. "Yes, so what if everyone knows that we are dating. It is a fact and I love you."

"I love you too but I am nervous."

Wrapping his arms around her waist, Rocky kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, I am there with you."

As soon as they entered the hall, the reporters quickly surrounded them and started snapping pictures.

Janet, who was not used to any limelight tightened her grip around Rocky's hand and gulped in nervousness.

Caressing her back, Rocky whispered, "It's alright Hun, you are doing great."

Janet smiled and nodded her head. 

Paving the way through the reporters with the help of his bodyguards, Rocky guided Jante inside.

"He is alone?" Uncle Thomas asked.

Looking at Grandpa Jones who was busy talking to a few other businessmen, Uncle Herpi nodded his head. "He came alone."

"That is strange, I thought he would definitely bring Sabrina with him." Uncle Thomas added.

Taking a sip from his glass, Uncle Herpi added, "He is upto something this time, something big."

Uncle Thomas raised his eyebrows and asked, "Big?"

"Yeah but it's not something that will benefit Sabrina." 

"Well, now that is strange." 

…..

Grandpa Jones excused himself when he saw Jackie. Walking towards him, Grandpa Jones raised his eyebrows and his lips curled upwards when he saw a beautiful woman standing beside his son.
