The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 308

Just as I finished my morning tasks and was about to take a walk, a group of people burst into the office. They approached me before turning to Zane. "Mr. Huxham, is this her?"

Zane nodded. "Yes."

Confused, I asked, "What's going on?"

"Remember that luncheon you're attending with me?" Zane walked over to me and explained, "They're here to style you up."

Before I could respond, a young woman stepped in front of me. "Close your eyes."

They then went to work by applying makeup on my face with brushes while someone else styled my hair. I sat there quietly, thinking how I should avoid these events in the future. All this preparation time could have been spent making money!

Once the makeup was done, someone called out to me softly, "Time to wake up."

Right as I opened my eyes, another person thrusted a dress into my hands. She urged, "Quick, try this on."

Still dazed, I headed to the office bathroom to change. When I emerged, they broke into applause while gathering around me. They praised, "You look absolutely stunning!"

Someone turned to Zane with a smile and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Huxham?"
