He clearly hasn’t measured her for a few seconds, but the data is so accurate it’s shocking.
Jessie suddenly felt as if she had taken off her clothes and appeared in front of him without any cover She was very shocked and her face was very red. She instinctively used her hands to tightly hold her coat
Alex had already hung up the phone.
Knock knock
Someone knocked on the door.
“Come in.” Alex said in a low voice.
The door opened, and Rick walked in with the stylist Leo and two assistants, carrying large boxes and small boxes. They greeted Alex respectfully, “Boss!”
Alex nodded slightly in response, and gestured for them to put on makeup and change Jessie’s clothes
Jessie did not know Leo and his assistants. But she knew Rick.
She quickly stood up and greeted him. “Hello!”
Rick had already recognized her on the stage. He also knew that the ex-wife of Mike whom boss had asked to investigate was Jessie. She was with Alex. The auntie in the coffee shop that Felix and Fia liked was the same person as her. His attitude towards her also became more respectful, “Miss, Jessie, Hello, I have already arranged it. Your show is at the back. There’s still about an hour left, and there’s plenty of time. Prepare well.”
“She’ll appear later?” Sally only came over after a long time. When she heard this sentence at the door, she was so excited that she could not complete her sentence.
Jessie also did not dare to believe it and her heart was beating very fast, “You mean that I can still restart the matter of me smashing up?”
Rick smiled. “Of course you can do it again. You did not smash it. It was just a small accident.”
Jessie’s mind flashed and she immediately understood.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Alex who was sitting not far away.
He should be very busy. He was now answering the phone and speaking fluent English.
His deep and magnetic voice, when he spoke the language Jessie could not understand, was also very pleasant to the ears.
After the phone call, Alex handed it over to Leo and the others, then looked at Jessie with a serious gaze.
His eyes were as deep as the sea. The meaning inside was too complicated and hard to predict. She only looked at him for a second and immediately dodged timidly.
When she looked up again, he had already taken the suit jacket from the chair and walked out with his long legs.
“We’ll see you later. I’ll accompany the Boss to the banquet hall first!” Rick said goodbye to Jessie and Sally respectively, and he hurriedly left with Alex.
“My God, what is going on? Just like that, we turned the situation around?” Sally was still in disbelief as she ran over and pinched Jessie’s arm.
“It’s true. Don’t pinch me anymore. I feel pain.” Jessie could not help but laugh.
“Are these dresses for you to choose?” Sally saw her assistant bring the gown over and try it on Jessie. She hurriedly helped out in high spirits and suddenly thought of something and patted Jessie’s shoulder. “I have seen that short man before. He brought two children to our coffee shop. But who was the other tall and cold man who didn’t look like a human? They were quite powerful. I thought that today’s matter would definitely be terrible. The host on stage directly skipped the art of pulling flowers. I didn’t expect you to be the last one to appear. You’re really lucky.”
Jessie was embarrassed. “Actually, I am not sure either.”
She indeed did not know the identities of the two of them. She only vaguely felt that they should be related to the Laurent family. Otherwise, how could they easily change the arrangement so easily?
When Leo, who was seriously putting on makeup for Jessie, saw Sally touch Jessie, he immediately pushed Sally away. “If you touch her, how can I put on makeup for her? Stay away from her!”
Sally snorted and blinked her large eyes in front of him. “Do you know those two men just now?”
Leo curled his lips. “I can understand why you are so surprised. But sometimes you still have to believe in your own eyes. You’re not dreaming. This is not an illusion. The two men just now were indeed president, Alex, and his assistant, Rick from the Mumen Group. Now, you can trust yourself?”
Leo thought Jessie and Sally had already recognized them. They just couldn’t believe that they had seen the real person.
“President of the Mumen Group?” Sally screamed.
Leo and his assistant were speechless.
They had already confirmed it for her. Why was she still so exaggerated?
Actually, Jessie’s reaction at this moment was similar to Sally’s. She was also very surprised.
She only knew that he had a background, but she did not dare to imagine that he was actually the Mumen Group’s president.
Was he Boss Laurent?
At this moment, she didn’t remember anything except the two slaps.
She had actually slapped president of the Mumen Group twice…
At ten o’clock sharp, Jessie acted as the finale.
The stage was completely open. In the middle was the operating table. Although it was not big, it was fully equipped
Jessie had gone through the hands of the top stylist, Leo. She wore a white pearl dress with a skirt reaching to her knees. Her two calves were exposed and straight. Her long hair was tied up into a flower like hairstyle. Her jet-black hair was inlaid with tiny bits of broken diamonds. Her thick and light make-u p made her already delicate little face look like a crystal, emitting a clear and dazzling light.
Before she could display her talent in drawing flowers, just her appearance alone was already enough to shock the entire audience.
Mike, who had been accompanying Yura behind the stage, suddenly saw Jessie, who looked like a completely different person, and his heart was instantly moved, just like how he reacted when he first saw her. His fingers could not help but tighten inch by inch, and for some reason, his throat could not breathe
When Yura saw Jessie’s beauty, she was about to go crazy with jealousy. At this moment, she felt Mike’s reaction and was even more angry. She reached out and grabbed his arm, then forcefully pinched the
inside of his arm.
Mike was in so much pain that he lost his voice. “Are you crazy?”
“If you dare to stare at her again, I will really go crazy!”
“It’s not that you insist on staying, I am accompanying you!”
Yura’s performance had long been finished. She could have left already. Hannah and she were unwilling t o leave and even requested the organizers to let them enter the main hall of the banquet. They wanted to make friends with higher level officials and aristocrats, but in the end, they were directly rejected by the
staff.
There was a rule tonight that other than the invited guests, no one else was allowed to enter the main hall Among the actors, only a few true artists were invited. On the contrary, those celebrities who relied solely on rumors of high traffic and popularity did not get an admission ticket
The harder it was to enter, the more fascinated those who advocated power and wealth.
For example, Yura and Hannah. Even if they could not enter the banquet hall, they thought that if they could meet some big shot backstage, befriending him would be good too. They held onto this kind of hope and stayed here.
Yura was originally a little disappointed by the guard but at this moment when she saw Jessie, she refused to leave. She withdrew the hand that had pinched his numb and said angrily, “What are you in a hurry for? Didn’t I tell you not to look at your ex-wife?”
Her strange voice made Mike dislike it. For the sake of silence, he did not speak anymore.
Jessie made dozens of cups of coffee with different flavors and different difficulty designs in one go. She. Sally, and the host gave them to all the important people in the front row.
Everyone was shocked by the colorful and exquisite patterns in these small cups.
The noodles were very small. The simplest was the many layers of love, and most of them were ingenious drawings. In the cup of Spring River Flower and Moonlight, the complicated branches, the lively little birds on the branches, and the full moon on the top were all drawn vividly by her. It was full of artistic conception
A small cup of coffee was made from her hands, and it seemed to have a vivid soul, causing people to be unable to bear to destroy it with their mouths.
Originally, the company was preparing to make a cup of coffee on the spot to entertain foreign guests attending tonight, but at this moment, Alex also walked forward and took the initiative to ask Jessie for coffee.
His actions that did not follow the plan made Rick stunned for a moment.
The celebrities present were all smart people. When they saw that Boss Alex had personally come to ask
for coffee, plus he had helped her previously, the way they looked at Jessie became more and more intriguing
“Give it to me.” Alex’s voice was low and pleasant to listen to
Jessie raised her eyes and looked into his bottomless dark eyes Her heart could not help but tighten torn o reason
Before going on stage, the staff had already clearly told her that the coffee made only needed to be presented to the foreign guests in the front row. They did not say that Boss Alex also wanted it
Fortunately, there was enough to produce, so she didn’t need to continue making it. She calmed herself down and saw that the image that was about to be presented in the cup in her hand was actually a symbol of love.
The meaning that this image represented was very easy to associate with love. Although she didn’t mean i t like that, if the target was him, her heart would inexplicably beat in disorder She hurriedly turned around and prepared to give him another glass of scenery
The man’s long and fair hand reached over and picked up the picture from the tray in her hand
Jessie held her breath.
Alex lowered his head and looked at the picture on the cup with a focused and deep expression
Jessie felt that his gaze seemed to be staring at her heart. It was so hot that her nerve were burning
She pretended not to care and quickly went to deliver coffee to other guests with a slightly red lace
Just as she turned around, her stomach suddenly rang
The sound of her stomach growling was not loud, but Alex, who was beside her, could hear it clearly
The endless awkwardness and embarrassment made Jessie want to dig a hole.
She lowered her head, and her face immediately turned red to her neck
Alex did not change his expression. He drank the pattern until not a single drop was left. He put the empty cup back on her tray. He ordered in a low voice: “After the show ends, you and your assistant come here to
eat.”
After everything ended, Jessie returned to the backstage. Her face was still very red.
She had been in a state of anxiety and dealing with all kinds of things today. Other than the lunch at noon, she had not eaten anything until now.
She was too busy, to the point that she completely forgot about eating, but her body was very honest.
But her stomach had to scream at that time when she was hungry, which made her very embarrassed.
She did not have the mood to follow Alex’s instructions and go to the banquet hall with Sally to eat. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible, and it would be best if she did not see him again
“You should have known that when you divorce Mike, it would be the time for your love to come. You have not been with him for so many years. Tell me honestly, how far has your relationship progressed?” Sally moved closer to her, full of interest and curiosity.
