Chapter 28: Overbearing CEO
"This is the first ti Little Treasure has drawn a portrait," Lu Tingxiao noted after glancing at the drawing Ning Xi was holding.
"Really? Then I’m honored!" Ning Xi was pleased.
"What do you want to eat in the afternoon?" Lu Tingxiao asked.
It seed not just her living expenses, her food expenses were also covered.
Just when Ning Xi was about to reply, her cellphone suddenly rang.
Chang Li was calling.
Did she arrange another minor role for her?
"Hello, Sister Chang."
"Ning Xi, the opening ceremony for will be held at noon at Pearl Hotel. Don’t be late."
"What? Noon? Today at noon?"
"That’s right. Today."
"Sister Chang, why didn’t you tell earlier? It’s already almost eleven!"
"What do you an earlier? Aren’t I telling you an hour early now?"
"One hour might not be enough ti for to get there, not to ntion I still have to dress and do my makeup…"
"That’s your problem, not mine. I’m busy, so I’m hanging up now."
As soon as she finished speaking, the line was cut off.
"Chang Li! F*** your grandpa!" Ning Xi threw her phone.
In the silence that followed, Ning Xi froze.
Little Treasure froze.
Lu Tingxiao also froze.
Ning Xi wiped her face, hating herself and wanting to dig a hole to hide in.
She had been too impulsive, forgetting that she was in the Lu residence and there was even a precious child present…
She didn’t care about acting like a well-bred lady in front of Lu Tingxiao, but it wouldn’t be good if Little Treasure learned anything bad from her.
"Cough cough, Little Treasure, let’s pretend you didn’t hear anything just now! You can’t copy Auntie and scold people like that, because the one Auntie was scolding isn’t even a person!" Ning Xi explained seriously.
Little Treasure blinked a few tis, and then nodded like he understood.
A flash of amusent flickered in Lu Tingxiao’s eyes. "What happened?"
Ning Xi clenched her jaw. "The opening ceremony for is at noon. It’s nearly eleven and my manager only told about it just now. It takes at least fifty minutes to get to Pearl Hotel from here. Am I supposed to appear on cara bare-faced?"
"Why not? You’re pretty enough as it is."
Ning Xi was stunned for a mont. She never thought Lu Tingxiao would say such words, and she shook her head embarrassedly. "Cough, I thank Master Xiao for his praise… but for these sort of events, it’s only polite to be dressed properly. Most importantly, I don’t have anything appropriate to wear, and there will be a lot of paparazzi there. Ahhh, so frustrating…"
"Wait a mont." Lu Tingxiao raised his hand to let her know not to worry, and then carried his cellphone to the courtyard to make a call.
Ten minutes later, a person rushed over, gasping for breath.
"CEO Lu, the things you wanted are all here. Do we start now?" The person who had arrived was wearing ripped jeans and a grey cotton top; there was a very striking dark blue piercing in his left ear.
Ning Xi was startled to find that this person looked very familiar.
Of course, what Ning Xi ant by ‘familiar’ was that she knew him, but he did not know her.
This was Arthur, the person under Glory World Entertainnt known as the Godly Hand, and personal stylist to the queen of films, Su Yimo.
This was soone so famous, a small fry like her could only admire him from afar!
"This is?" Ning Xi’s face was filled with suspicion.
"You don’t recognize him?" Lu Tingxiao asked.
"This is the famous Arthur, of course I recognize him! I ant why did you call him over…"
"Naturally, he’s here to style you," Lu Tingxiao said matter-of-factly.
Dark lines appeared on Ning Xi’s forehead as she moved closer to whisper in his ear, "You… you would actually make Glory World’s people style ? Are you kidding! Don’t you know I’m an artiste under Starlight Entertainnt? Glory World Entertainnt and Starlight Entertainnt are practically enemies!"
"So what?" Lu Tingxiao wore an overbearing CEO’s expression.
