"What's wrong with making that stinky man wait a little longer? Relax, I'll spray some glitter powder on you. Tonight, you'll definitely make every man fall for you!"

After that, he took a bottle of mist spray from the table and sprayed it on Ning Yao's hair, chest, and back.

Ning Yao lowered her head and saw that her snow-white smooth arm was suddenly sparkling, as if she had just returned from a trip to the Milky Way.

It was amazing. Ning Yao had never used this kind of thing before, so she was surprised for a moment.

She looked at herself in the mirror again. Was that really her?

She looked way too beautiful. No matter how modest she was, she had to admit that the woman in the mirror was very beautiful. It was the kind of beauty that shone.

"Alright, let's show you to Clarence." Johnny held her by the arm and pulled open the dressing room's curtain.

Ning Yao's heart raced. The moment the curtain was pulled open, she lowered her head, too shy to look at Clarence's expression.

Johnny pulled her to stand in front of Clarence and said proudly, "How is it? You always say that I'm too gaudy when I style you. Hmph, I'm best at dressing up girls. Now you know how good I am!"

Clarence didn't even look at the talkative and boastful Johnny. His eyes had been fixed on Ning Yao ever since she appeared.

He knew that she was beautiful, but he did not expect her to be able to dazzle.

At this moment, she looked like a real princess.

Beautiful, elegant, and pure.

She looked up at herself and there seemed to be stars shining in her eyes.

Clarence suddenly regretted bringing her to see Johnny.

If Johnny magnified her beauty so obviously, he was afraid that everyone would be staring at her.

Her beauty should only be for him to see.

He didn't want to share it with anyone at all.

Although this thought was selfish, it was what he wanted.

"Dark green suits you." Clarence finally let out a compliment.

"Do you know how to talk?" asked Johnny in shock. "Don't you know how to compliment people? I can't take it anymore, he's really a d*mn straight man!"

Clarence ignored the noisy Johnny and turned to Ning Yao. "Let's go." He offered his arm to her.

Ning Yao looked at the gentlemanly Clarence and hesitated for a moment. Then, she held his arm and left the store to get into his car.

A few staff from the company saw them.

"Where did the company find this new lady? Isn't she too beautiful?"

"Won't she be famous once she shows her face? Why haven't I heard anything about her? Quickly ask around!"

Ning Yao didn't hear the discussion behind her. She could hardly think as she held onto Clarence's arm.

All she could hear was the sound of her beating heart.

When they reached the car, Clarence opened the door like a gentleman and helped her hold up her dress.

It was as if she was a noble princess, and he was her knight.

Ning Yao felt like she was in a dream.

After they got into the car, the two of them didn't talk much.

Ning Yao was too nervous, and so was Clarence. But he didn't let it show. Instead, all one could see on him was his usual cold indifference.

The banquet was held at a state banquet restaurant that was dedicated to receiving guests. However, this restaurant usually accepted other banquets.

From this, one could see the standards of this place.

When they got out of the car, there were already service staff in uniform at the door. Clarence held Ning Yao's hand before the two walked across the thick red carpet and took the elevator to the second floor.

There were already quite a few people at the scene, everyone appearing noble and elegant.

Anyone here could be a big shot in the city.

A gathering at this level was no longer just for entertainment.

Everyone had a clear goal and would only communicate with people who could bring them benefits.

As soon as Clarence appeared, a few people immediately surrounded him.

Ning Yao recognized one of them who often appeared on business programs on TV.

But Clarence was not too enthusiastic to greet these people. After chatting briefly with a few of them, he led Ning Yao away.

"Clarence, you're finally here. This is..." A man in his 20s walked toward Clarence. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a white suit, looking like an elite.

Clarence introduced the two of them.

The man was Mei Yu, a business partner of Clarence.

Ning Yao did not expect to see another senior executive of the company here. She smiled gently and said, "Hello, Mr. Mei,"

Mei Yu sized up Ning Yao and shook her hand neither warmly nor coldly. "You're so beautiful, Miss Ning."

Although this sounded like a compliment to Ning Meng, she felt that Mei Yu did not seem to like her very much. In fact, he even seemed to hate her.
