"Don’t worry." Stuart still looked calm and dignified. He said to the secretary, "Tell Jay and Arthur to co to Universe Entertainnt in twenty minutes, and if he is late, it will be deducted from their bonus."
"Yes, CEO, I will let them know."
"Contact every luxurious custom-made clothing store for won and tell them to deliver their latest dresses for this season to Universe Entertainnt in one hour."
"Yes, CEO."
"Call Todd Anderson, tell the design director of Anderson Jewellery to bring ten of their best sets of jewelry here."
"Yes, CEO."
Edie watched in amazent. This was her first ti seeing Stuart in his working model. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She sat there, gazing at him. She could feel her love and admiration for him increasing.
Stuart arranged everything smoothly and directed everyone in a cold tone. He was very thorough, as if this was sothing he had done before. He was so precise and accurate.
It would be their lack of ability if they couldn’t finish the task. Edie knew how hard it would be for them to complete the tasks in such a short ti. He was a real king; the aura of oppression on him was enough to make others unconditionally obey.
The secretary received the orders, took out his laptop from his bag swiftly, and started typing, delivering Stuart’s orders. The driver knew Stuart was in a hurry and sped up to the highest speed allowed in the city.
The traffic in the city had always been bad. It was rush hour in the morning, and the busy road ran like a running river, even the main road was jamd. Seeing a red light in the distance, before the car slowed down, Stuart suddenly said, "Go through it."
"Yes, CEO." The driver said. The secretary and Mr. Bates looked at each other. Although the CEO’s car had a privilege in the city, they hadn’t used it for a long ti. They didn’t expect the CEO to go this far rely for his wife.
After running through the first red light, they knew there was no stopping him. The car was so fast that it only took twenty minutes for them to get from the Villa to Universe Entertainnt, which would generally take forty minutes.
The stretched Limousine stopped right in front of Universe Entertainnt. The manager ran out, panting with his people coming from behind to welco them. The manager opened the car door with courtesy and saluted Stuart with a bow.
"How co the CEO is here at Universe Entertainnt today?" Seeing Stuart walking out of the car, the manager asked obsequiously. Stuart didn’t look at him; he just turned around and helped Edie out of the car.
It was then that the manager realized who the woman in the car was. For an instant, everyone’s eyes focused on Edie. Edie nodded with embarrassnt, "Hi everyone..."
The manager knew Stuart doesn’t like to be flattered, changed his tactic, and greeted Edie with a smile, "Hi Miss, and I’m the manager of Universe Entertainnt, Fergus Armstrong." This was the first ti the CEO had ever brought a woman to the company, and she’s definitely not ordinary. He couldn’t help himself from wondering why she was with him?
Edie didn’t know how to introduce herself, only nodded and smiled, "Hi." The manager was glad to see the CEO’s guest so approachable and wanted to make conversation. Stuart’s blade-like eyes glanced at him, "Looks like manager Armstrong has a lot of free ti?"
The manager was frightened and said in haste, "No at all, Mr. CEO, please co in." His heart skipped a beat, oh my god, he didn’t expect the CEO to take that woman so seriously that he wouldn’t even be allowed to talk to her. She’s definitely no ordinary woman.
Stuart walked into the Universe Entertainnt building, everyone else was behind him, except for Edie.
"Where’s Jay and Arthur?"
"They are already in the dressing room."
"And the dresses?"
"We have inford all of the twenty luxurious custom-made clothing stores in the city, the dresses will be ready in one hour."
"Good and the jewelry?"
"Mr. Anderson picked up ten sets himself, and they are on their way."
"Ian, take her to the dressing room and do her makeup and hair first."
Ian was the na of Stuart’s secretary, and he reacted to Stuart’s command swiftly. He walked over to Edie and said, "Mrs. Yates, please follow ."
Edie had been confused all day from the point when she got into the car, and now the secretary is taking her. She looked at Stuart involuntarily. Stuart noticed her dependence on him, softened his eyes and voice, "Go on, I will pick you up later."
Inside the dressing room, the best hairstylist Jay and the best makeup artist Arthur in the city were already on stand-by waiting for them to arrive. When Edie entered the room, they all gathered around her as if she was a famous celebrity.
Arthur was a top-level makeup artist who was known for his bad temper. However, at this mont, he looked at Edie’s face in admiration. "Miss, your facial features are so fine, looks as if you were born to be fild. Your skin is so perfect and flawless. I’ve done makeup on so many actresses, but this is my first ti seeing such a perfect face."
The assistant who was brushing her hair also chid in, "Your hair is so nice, it’s as smooth and shiny as silk." Edie thought she was going to faint being hit by so many praises. However, she knew it was all because of Stuart.
The professionals worked in a well-organized way, every curl in her hair, and every stroke on her face was perfect. Her makeup was not yet finished when a few designers walked into the dressing room and started to asure up Edie’s size gently.
The busy three hours passed quickly. When all the stylists were done, a knock on the door was heard. "Is everything finished?" It was the voice of Ian, the secretary. Jay quickly sprayed Edie’s hair to finish up the look and replied, "It’s done."
The door was opened, Stuart walked in, and everyone moved out of the way for him.
Stuart’s cold face was startled the instant he saw Edie, and he was struck by her look. Edie’s makeup was not heavy, and it made her exceptional facial feature even stand out more.
Her round eyes looked brighter and matched with her diamond necklace. Every move she made seed captivating; everyone else was eclipsed by her beauty. Her long hair was slightly curled by Jay, which added a tint of seduction in her forrly elegant aura.
Stuart stared at her, but didn’t speak, Edie blushed and asked, "Stuart, how do I look?"
"Ahem," Stuart coughed, which was a rare scene. He then quickly pulled himself together and said, "Not bad." Knowing Stuart’s personality, getting a "not bad" from him was good enough, Edie smiled.
Stuart reached out his hand, "Let’s go, and I’ll take you to the hotel."
"He’s taking her there?" Edie was startled and nodded. Then she slowly put her hand in his.
