Chapter 8 The CEO is getting married today.
The news of Charlie's imminent marriage became the watercooler gossip of the day, spreading like wildfire throughout the company.
Meanwhile, Lily had just walked out of the company building when she received a text message from James.
‘Miss Lily，Please come downstairs in five minutes. Mr. Charlie is waiting for you.’
Five minutes later, Maybach s680 parked at the door.
The Maybach exudes an aura of opulence that is immediately captivating. Its exterior design is a harmonious blend of sophistication and low-key presence，also represent the master’s temperament.
As Lily approached the luxurious Maybach S680 parked at the entrance, the soft glow of the vehicle's ambient lighting welcomed her. The chauffeur, clad in a perfectly tailored uniform, opened the door for her with a courteous nod.
Ah!
She can't believe this is true.
Charlie's handsome profile exudes an air of captivating charm.
A prominent and well-defined nose adds a touch of regality to his features, seamlessly blending into the overall harmony of his side profile. The sunlight caresses his profile, casting subtle shadows that accentuate the chiseled lines of his jaw, emphasizing a resolute and sophisticated demeanor.
“Miss Lily,you’re going to get your marriage certificate today.I’ve prepared your ID card and documents.”
Said James.
Lily sat by Charlie’s side, and they were so close that she could smell the scent of cedarwood perfume, mingling with the captivating breath of him.
He was wearing headphones and still staring at the computer screen.
Lily felt nervous.
She will marry the CEO today, But the entire company's employees don't know she is the CEO’s future wife.
She can felt her heart beating so fast.
Super nervous.
But, Who is not nervous about getting married?
The car's air conditioner was set at a low level. Lily, dressed in light attire, couldn't help but cough as the cool air enveloped her.
“Cough，Cough”
“Are you okay?” Charlie takes off his headphones，“James, Turn off the air conditioner.”
“I'm good, just a little sneeze.” Lily answered，she lowered, her head and rummaged through her bag for tissues.
This is the first time they have spoken this week.
Lily hadn't reacted yet when the tissue Charlie handed over was placed in the palm of her hand. The familiar touch caused warmth to spread through her hand.
She took it slightly.
He is her future husband, she realized.
She still needs time to adapt to that.
But everything doesn't seem too bad.
Like today, he is cute...
Suddenly, she realized that Charlie was sizing her up.
“ You don't have any makeup? Wearing these clothes to get the certificate?”
“Sorry,what...?”
“You're dressed too casually now.” Charlie frowned，“Turn around，Go to Tysons Galleria.”
Charlie crossed Lily and said directly to the driver，completely ignored her.
I have to take back what I just said, he is not cute at all, Lily thought angrily.
The Maybach glided smoothly through the city streets, passing by towering skyscrapers and bustling traffic.
The Maybach finally pulled up at Tysons Galleria, and Charlie, without sparing her a glance, briskly exited the car.
Tysons Galleria，is the largest shopper's paradise in this city, also a renowned landmark and a highly visible commercial center. Various captivating news and advertisements roll on omnipresent large screens, featuring an array of world-renowned luxury brands. It exudes an opulent and bustling atmosphere, reminiscent of aristocratic extravagance.
Lily thought she is nearly lost in this shopping haven. Soshe followed Charlie into the shopping mall.
Charlie's steps finally halted at the entrance of a styling studio.
The air was infused with the scent of various beauty products. Inside the shop were pictures of stylists and many celebrities in collaboration，rappers，singers，actors and actresses.
Charlie exchanged a few words with the head stylist, and soon Lily found herself guided towards a styling chair.
This head stylist is a cute Chinese gentleman, with short black hair and eyes like obsidian. He exudes a naturally refined demeanor, unlike the regal aura of Charlie. Instead, he carries more of an Eastern charm, characterized by a gentle warmth.
He skillfully arranged Lily's hair and opened the makeup kit. Although Lily wasn't accustomed to wearing makeup often, she recognized these were all new and high-end makeup products. The makeup brushes moved seamlessly, creating an intricate and delicate makeup look on Lily's face.
All like magic！
Lily had never applied such intricate makeup on herself before. Her complexion indeed improved significantly. The length of the eyeliner and the well-defined contours of her eyebrows highlighted the beauty of her eyes. The foundation adhered flawlessly, perfectly concealing the dark circles from her sleepless nights. She felt pleasantly surprised by the transformation.
“ You look gorgeous now.I’m so happy for you.” The head stylist complimented.
“Enough,” Charlie frowned and interrupted directly，"We need to go now.”
“You go buy some suitable clothes and some jewelry you like, I'll go get the engagement ring. "Charlie took Lily to the entrance of Chanel and gave instructions.
Lily looked at the sparkling sign of the store, feeling a bit hesitant.
In her twenty-two years of life, she had never bought luxury goods nor had she ever stepped into a luxury store.
She lowered her gaze to her outfit—a light pink coat she bought from a Vintage store, now faded, and a pair of ripped jeans. She carried a canvas bag from a supermarket promotion.
Obviously,，It didn't look like she had the means to afford anything inside.
