CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 89: MRS. KINGSTON LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL

"..." Mia Lane was stunned; contributing the manuscript wasn’t enough?

Justin Kingston held her slightly cool hand, looking at her intently, "Is it okay?"

Her fan-like eyelashes fluttered gently, warmth spreading through her palm.

Their eyes met, the woman’s clear and pure face astonishing him once again.

"Okay."

She agreed, and Justin’s lips finally curled into a relaxed and pleasant smile.

No matter who was responsible for the manuscript leakage, at this moment, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

The same night.

After dragging her exhausted body back to the apartment, Monica Usher collapsed onto the bed and broke down in tears!

Barbara Sutton stood by the bed, her eyes reddened as well.

She understood President Usher’s feelings; any words of consolation seemed powerless at this time.

"Boo hoo... I thought that if I worked earnestly, I could touch his heart." Monica was very upset, "I thought he could see my effort and dedication, but now even the heavens have come out to disrupt, and it’s always me who gets touched."

Her hair was disheveled, clothes slightly open, eyes bloodshot!

She looked like a completely different person from the optimistic and decisive vice president at the company during the day.

Barbara picked up the pillows she had thrown on the floor, and brought her a cup of milk she had boiled, "President Usher... Many times, with many things, admitting defeat is the best relief."

"I won’t admit defeat!" she emotionally, gritting her teeth, asked, "Why should I admit defeat? Am I not excellent enough?"

"Of course not!" Barbara tried to comfort.

"He’s the CEO of the group, and I’m the vice president..." She cried, laughed, "I’m only a step away from him, loving someone is not about looking up to them, but finding a way to get as close as possible!"

"President Usher." Barbara sat down on the edge of the bed, holding the milk cup in one hand, and supporting her with the other, "CEO Kingston hasn’t blamed you, and this matter isn’t related to you, you shouldn’t blame yourself too much."

"This is the project Justin’s been most focused on recently... I kept such a close watch all the way, yet there was still a problem. How can I explain it to him?"

Monica was emotionally agitated, and she broke down in tears!

Half of her disappointment was for the company, and the other half was for herself.

The next morning.

In the dressing room on the second floor of Emerald Cove.

Mia Lane tried on a purple dress, put on high heels, and walked in front of him; Justin shook his head.

She returned to the fitting room and came out wearing a pink dress.

Justin still shook his head.

She went back inside to change again.

He sat in an armchair outside, appreciating and judging from a professional perspective.

Red, yellow, blue, white, black... Mia tried seventeen colors, different styles of dresses, until she was really exhausted.

She pouted, wearing a black swan dress, "If this still doesn’t work, then I just won’t go. It’s not the dress, it’s my figure!"

Justin stood up and picked a nude-colored long dress for her, "Try this one."

"I won’t try." She lacked confidence, "I can’t pull off this color."

"Just try it, how do you know if it works unless you try?" He pushed her into the fitting room, "Need me to help you?"

"No, no, no, I’ll do it myself!" She hurriedly shut him out.

Justin’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Mia had always resisted nude colors, thinking she couldn’t pull them off.

But when she appeared in front of Justin wearing the nude-colored long dress, she clearly saw a bright glint in his eyes.

Even the maid helping beside her cheered—

"So beautiful!"

"Madam looks stunning!"

Mia came to the full-length mirror, she examined herself from top to bottom, wearing a custom-made necklace sparkling with light, with an elegant aura, as if she were a princess stepping out from a stage play.

Justin was very satisfied, "Please put on your glass slippers."

The maid brought the glass slippers to her feet and bent over to help her put them on.

"These shoes are so beautiful." Mia instantly noticed their high price with her professional eye, "Where did these come from?"

"Bought them." Justin said, "They are yours from now on."

At that moment, she felt exceptionally good, with an uncontrollable smile on her face.

After changing, the makeup artist gave her a light, everyday makeup, then Justin took her to the club.

Meanwhile, Monica Usher also headed out with Barbara Sutton.

She had drunk a lot of wine and cried herself out last night, which caused her face to swell severely, so she did an ice pack.

Compared to the emotional turmoil of last night, she was much calmer today.

But she hadn’t found a solution to the problem, and the discussions online about the leaked designs were still heated.

"President Usher, does CEO Kingston know we’re going over too?" Barbara asked while driving.

"No matter what, I cannot let him bear it alone." She said, "I am the vice president of the group, I have half the responsibility for any issues, I want to bear it with him."
