Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 290: I’ve Figured It Out

Nora Northwood had no choice but to crawl out of bed and stayed in the bathroom for a while.

When she came out again, she no longer felt sleepy.

That night, she finally made a decision to personally take on the role of VK’s spokesperson.

Lily had said something very true, no one knew aromatherapy better than her, and no one understood the brand’s original intent better than she did.

When Nora revealed this news to everyone, Annie immediately contacted a top shooting team and styling for VK.

The first scheduled shoot was in a week.

In Lily’s words, the theme for the first shoot was a trial run.

They planned to let Nora gradually emerge using a "boiling frog" approach, avoiding being too dazzling from the start to avoid suppression by ill-intended people.

The stylist kept repeating while doing her makeup, "Your skin is incredibly good. If I were the boss of a cosmetics company, you’d be my first choice for a spokesperson."

Nora couldn’t help but smile faintly at the praise.

Once everything was ready, Lily came over and said, "No wonder President Sinclair treasures you like a gem, who wouldn’t cherish such a beauty!"

During the outfit selection phase, Nora chose not to wear overly glamorous clothes.

She didn’t wish to overshadow the aromatherapy, but her overly cool and clear appearance made her stand out even more from the overall look.

At the shooting location, photographers were already waiting in advance.

They chose a beach in a bay, and now, during the off-peak vacation period, there weren’t many people there.

Nora’s appearance made the chatter temporarily cease.

Her brows and eyes curved like a gentle breeze, adding warmth to the chill by the sea.

Annie set down the stand in her hand and approached, unabashedly praising, "Nora baby, once you dress up seriously, those actresses have nothing on you!"

Just then, the director came over, "Miss Northwood, for shooting purposes, you might need to get close to the sea. It’s a bit cold this season, do you think your body can handle it?"

Just hearing this made Nora’s slender joints turn white.

Yet she calmly replied, "I can."

The director, having filmed for many years, had seen actresses risk their lives for effect, and over time, had overlooked the physical limitations of ordinary people.

Afterwards, the crowd moved closer to the sea.

While working, Nora was exceptionally focused.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by others, a man and a woman exchanged glances.

Soon after, a woman put away her work badge and moved even closer to Nora.

"Push the aromatherapy a bit forward using your fingertip," the director instructed Nora, completely oblivious to the changes happening on set.

"Ah—"

A scream pierced the sky.

Before Nora could react to what had happened, she felt someone tugging at her skirt from below.

Instantly, a biting cold enveloped her entire body.

Her mind went momentarily blank, losing all sensation.

The spot where Nora fell into the water wasn’t very deep, but she was unable to swim, leaving her body to drift aimlessly.

On the shore, the crowd was already in chaos.

"Is there anyone who can swim?" shouted the director.

A man, reasonably close to Nora, quickly headed towards the shore.

Soon, Nora felt a hint of a human’s warmth.

"Miss Northwood, don’t be afraid."

At this moment, Nora clung to that person like a lifeline, tightly grasping his clothing.
