Chapter 60
A small shadow and a dog ran in from the outside. The boy and the dog pounced on Augustine. He held Zeph in his arms while Shiba leaped on the sofa by itself, nuzzling Augustine's shoulder.
Augustine stretched out his hand and patted Shiba. Looking at Zeph who was perspiring, he obviously had a great time. "Daddy, Shiba is so cute! I love Shiba."
Shiba barked happily. At that time, the housekeeper outside the door came in with Master Giltstone.
Shiba jumped off the sofa again to welcome the Master Giltstone.
"Zeph is extremely energetic. I am too old to keep up with him." Master Giltstone just realised that he was too old to take care of Zeph.
"Zeph, would you like to have dinner with your greatgrandpa tonight? Daddy has something to do, I will pick you up later." Augustine discussed with his son. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Zeph blinked his big eyes and nodded obediently. "Okay, daddy. You have to take mommy home with you, okay?"
Augustine pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay!"
Master Giltstone frowned as it seemed like the child was clingy to his mother.
Master Giltstone took a nap while Augustine took Zeph to the playground nearby. Since that area was part of the noble community, he also brought his bodyguards along. He had a good time with Zeph.
Zeph was only three years old. Looking at how he was playing the slide with some other kids, Zeph must have had so much energy.
Vivianna had been busy in the office. When she looked up, it was already five o'clock in the evening. The banquet was going to start at six o'clock. She had to prepare for it so she walked to Linda's office and knocked on the door, "Linda, can I get off work early?"
"Are you heading there?"
"Yes! I'll go now."
"Are you going to attend the banquet like this?"
"Uh? Yeah!"
"If you go like that, you would be mistakenly treated as a waiter! Let's go. I know the owner of a boutique. We'll rent a dress from there!" Linda stated kindly.
Vivianna rarely participated in such activities so she didn't know the dress code very well. When Linda came out, Vivianna hugged her and showed her a gentle smile, "Linda, you're so amiable. How should I repay you?"
"Give me the best design, that's the best reward." Linda laughed and got out of the company with her.
The boutique that Linda mentioned was located in a shopping mall nearby. Although the store was not big, the gowns were chic and fabulous. It costed more than 1,000 dollars for a night. However, Vivianna thought it was worth it as the dinner that night was important to her, it could not be measured by money.
For someone who needed inspiration to make ends meet, even a tad bit of inspiration would be very precious. Who knew, that inspiration might cultivate a masterpiece.
Linda chose a strapped royal blue gown for Vivianna. It was rare for Vivianna to wear such a revealing gown, so she was feeling a little embarrassed. However, she was also amazed when she put the gown on.
"Wow! Miss, you have nice figure and your skin is really fair. Ordinary people can't pull it off if their waists aren't tiny enough." The female boss praised Vivianna.
There was a V-cut in the chest, but it was not too revealing. Her concern was at the back of the gown, which was tied with a few thin overlapping ribbons, exposing her skin to the bottom of the corset belt.
"Let the boss make a hairdo for you later, you should let your hair down tonight. I'm sure it will be perfect." Linda was envious, it was so good to be young!
"Yes, we will also put on makeup for you. Since you are a frequent customer, we will give you extra service." The female owner was also a temperamental person.
Vivianna agreed in an instant. The owner of the shop styled her long black hair into wavy big curls with two strands of hair cascading down from her forehead. The elegant and sexy bangs perfectly outlined her oval face.
After styling her hair and applying makeup, the female boss couldn't help but genuinely praise her, "Miss, you are more gorgeous than the celebrities that I've ever seen!"
That made Vivianna shy. She had never cared about her appearance in the past few years. She had been very contented being with her son.
"Well, I'll take you to the banquet. You can return the dress in three days. My friends will be sending you back." Linda said.
Vivianna was so grateful that she shed tears of gratitude.
About 5:50 p.m., Vivianna arrived at the banquet. In the eyes of Augustine, it was a small banquet, but for an ordinary people like Vivianna, it was a super luxurious and sumptuous banquet.
After scanning the invitation card at the door, Vivianna slowly stepped into the magnificent hall. The hall was surrounded by golden glorious walls. She saw hundreds of works decorating the massive hall. Vivianna glanced at the waiter's clothes, which was a white shirt and black trousers. Every female guest was wearing charming and elegant gowns, each with a glass of champagne in their hands. They were indulging in the paintings.
She really had to thank Linda. If she came in her office attire, wouldn't she be a waiter?
"Miss, what would you like to drink?" A young waitress came forward and asked.
"A glass of champagne will be great, thank you!" Vivianna pursed her lips and smiled.
Holding a glass of champagne in her hand, Vivianna began indulging in a painting. That was relaxing and enjoyable, she could also feel an endless inspiration from the painting.
Vivianna was in front of a painting. She didn't know that her figure had become a scenery in the eyes of the men at present. Some photographers pointed the camera at her and took pictures of her beautiful and elegant back. Naturally, even the young men wanted to seize the opportunity to get to know her.
An exhibition was an artistic indulgence. For artists, beautiful things were meant to be
indulged. Therefore, Vivianna's beauty greatly attracted them.
She was looking at a painting. A tall and handsome young man came over and commented on the painting that Vivianna was looking at, "The uniqueness of the painting lies in its smoothness and random strokes. It seems that the painter was an unrestrained person."
Naturally, she offered her opinion, "It's a painting of Leonardo Freeman from his earlier days. The artistic conception is very captivating."
When Vivianna had accosted him, he could not help but feel pleased, "It seems that your understanding of paintings is quite thorough."
"It has something to do with my profession, so I pay more attention to it." Vivianna pursed her lips into a smile, which was as elegant as a swan.
"Well, I don't have much knowledge about it. Would you like for me to keep you company?" The man wanted to get closer to her instantaneously.
At that time, a man's cold and deep voice came from behind, "She has got a companion."
