Chapter 473: His Appointment
However, in just a moment, Jasper Sinclair’s body relaxed again, his expression still indifferent.
Compared to his calm demeanor, the smile on Nora Northwood’s face was radiant and charming. While gazing at her, he realized that it had been a long time since she mentioned this term.
Then, Jasper Sinclair obliged her wish by taking his hand out of his pocket and slightly raising his elbow as a gesture for her to link arms.
After sharing a bed for over a year, how could he not understand Nora Northwood’s intentions?
It’s simply to hide the fact that their relationship had fallen apart.
Seeing his decisive and smooth action, a fierce blaze of heat arose on Nora Northwood’s face. No matter the situation, this man can always easily discern everything about her.
Yvonne Winslow chose the right moment to exit, leaving the remaining private space to the two of them. Afterwards, she reminded the media invited that day, "You can take more photos of President Northwood and Mr. Sinclair."
Whether as Nora Northwood’s friend or as a VK staff member, she hoped the two of them would be well, at least not to spread negative news.
...
The spacious and tidy first-floor hall caught Nora Northwood’s eye, noticing that Annie had invited several young actresses from the entertainment circle.
However, in this gathering of big shots, their role was insignificant, serving only as beautiful decorations.
Someone whispered, "President Northwood of VK is truly lucky, marrying into the Sinclair Family, never having to worry about food and drink, even carving out a name for herself."
"If I had such luck, I could become the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine."
These words fell into Nora Northwood’s ears; she heard them clearly and unmistakably yet couldn’t refute them.
They weren’t wrong. If she hadn’t met Grandma Sinclair and Jasper Sinclair, she may not have reached this point today.
Estimated, she might still be lingering at the flower shop by the street, constantly harassed by May Lawrence and Quentin Ford.
"After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, VK will enter the public eye as a more formal high-end brand. The matters you’ll face next go beyond perfumery; are you prepared?"
Nora Northwood understood the underlying message in Jasper Sinclair’s words, just like the discussions that followed their footsteps.
She nodded her chin resolutely, "I’ve been preparing for this for a long time."
"That’s good. I’ve prepared a gift for you; do you want to open it now or later?"
"Later, it’s not convenient now."
Today was Nora Northwood’s stage; she couldn’t leave the gathering for too long. Thus, she maintained a polite but distant stance with Jasper Sinclair.
Fortunately, her smile was bright enough that others saw nothing amiss, believing them to be deeply in love.
The scent from Jasper Sinclair invaded her senses, stirring waves of memories.
He didn’t like wearing cologne, so Nora Northwood had specifically placed several bottles of woody fragrance at home.
Now, she could still smell this scent, indicating that Jasper Sinclair had taken the fragrance to the small villa.
For Nora Northwood, she wasn’t sure if this was good or bad.
She pointed to Jasper Sinclair’s tie knot, softly reminding, "It’s a bit crooked, you should adjust it."
Jasper Sinclair looked down, seeing it was indeed off by a few millimeters. "Help me out, Nora."
Nora Northwood didn’t move, silently refusing.
"I canceled my original agenda to come to your event. Surely you wouldn’t refuse to help me with this small favor?"
"No moral coercion!" Nora Northwood said this, yet still raised her hand, her fingertip brushing the bow tie, feeling the texture of the fabric, which was unparalleled.
