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.
