Chapter 1611 Too Flashy
A hint of amusement flashed across Lucian's eyes when he saw how Roxanne wanted to deny it but was hesitant to speak. In a deep voice, he instructed the head of Neon Boutique, “Keep it simple. She doesn't like anything too extravagant.”
The person nodded repeatedly and even praised Roxanne, “Mrs. Farwell is a natural beauty. She's gorgeous even without makeup. You two are simply a perfect match, Mr. Farwell!”
Roxanne did not let the remark get to her. He probably praised Aubree the same way when she came for styling a few months ago.
The head of Neon Boutique took two hours to style Roxanne and Lucian.
He fixed Roxanne's cascading locks behind her ear with a gleaming pearl hairpin and gifted her a pair of pearl earrings. In addition to presenting her with subtle yet sophisticated makeup, he also attired her in a snowy white slim-fitted blazer with a corresponding skirt in the same tone, endowing her with a delicate and refined appearance.
As for Lucian, he deftly combed his hair backward, accentuating his flawlessly chiseled facial features. He then dressed him in a sleek black suit that complemented Roxanne's attire and adorned his sleeves with exquisite pearl cufflinks, echoing the elegance of Roxanne's earrings.
At first glance, the two looked like a couple.
Seeing their outfits, Roxanne could not help but hesitate. “Lucian, I think...”
She wanted to say it was inappropriate for them to appear like a couple, but Lucian was satisfied with their looks. He even told the person in charge he would buy all the garments and accessories worn today.
Roxanne was taken aback when she saw the bill of the entire ensemble, together with their styling, amounted to nearly a million.
Confronted with such a staggering amount, she had to bite back her initial disbelief. Any last-minute alterations would undoubtedly cost them even more. Just because Lucian has money doesn't mean we should spend it like there's no tomorrow.
It was one in the afternoon when they left Neon Boutique.
They only had an hour left until the press conference.
Jonathan, who had called to hurry them along, was relieved when he learned they were on their way.
During their journey to the conference, Roxanne briefly hesitated and considered removing her earrings.
“Are you so afraid of others knowing about our relationship?” Lucian expressed his dissatisfaction.
Roxanne paused. “I just feel they're too flashy...”
“The media has been speculating about our relationship since the last statement was released. If we're seen together, it's practically an official announcement. So, what difference do our outfits make?” Lucian said with his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
He only said so because he was afraid Roxanne would refuse to wear the same outfit as him.
It was a spur-of-the-moment decision, as Lucian saw the opportunity to make their relationship official and decided to seize it.
Roxanne hesitated for a moment before responding softly, “I don't mean to upset you. I just feel the signing ceremony is a work occasion.” She continued nudging Lucian. “Besides, even if I don't wear the
earrings, our clothes are already matching.”
As Roxanne took a gentler approach to make him understand her concern, Lucian reached out and held her hands.
The thought of Farwell Group and Queen Group conducting a joint press conference still gave Roxanne butterflies in her stomach.
Throughout the drive to the venue, Roxanne kept asking Lucian for guidance on the details to pay attention to during the joint conference.
Lucian, noticing her anxiety, did his best to ease her anxiety and reassure her.
When they arrived, a swarm of journalists had already surrounded Jonathan.
As soon as Lucian and Roxanne stepped out of the car, the journalists quickly turned their attention toward them and rushed in their direction.
