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

Chapter 483: Charity Gala

Until the man spoke: "Do I look good?"

Her thoughts drifted back to a year ago, when Nora Northwood first sat in the passenger seat, watching Jasper Sinclair the same way.

Back then, it was a careful exploration, mixed with starry eyes, but within a year, such a big change had occurred.

Caught in the act, she coughed lightly a couple of times, trying to ease the embarrassment of being caught sneaking a glance.

Nora sat up straight again, using an excuse readily available: "Just so-so, you get tired of it if you look too long."

Jasper Sinclair was momentarily choked up, surprisingly unable to think of an appropriate response.

He was recognized as the diamond bachelor in the business circle! Wealthy and handsome!

In the latter half, the atmosphere in the carriage gradually became subtle.

Nora had long withdrawn her gaze, turning to the window, staring in a daze.

The plane trees on either side of the street quickly receded, and she felt the route deviated from her memory, speaking out: "Are you taking the wrong route?"

"I’ll take you to change into an evening dress first, then head to the charity soiree. There’s dinner prepared at the event, but it might be a bit late, so open the small box beside you. I’ve prepared a little cake for you."

After the earlier silence, Jasper Sinclair spoke a long paragraph in one breath.

In her impression, he seldom did so.

Of course, Nora didn’t dwell on whether he talked much or little, but rather looked down to inspect her outfit.

Considering today was a charity-related event, she intentionally dressed modestly to avoid being labeled extravagant.

As her career progressed, her image gradually leaned towards that of a public figure.

Now, the name "Nora Northwood" represents not only herself but also the entire reputation of VK, so everything must be handled with caution.

After pondering for a long time, she asked: "Is my outfit not appropriate?"

"Too formal, someone might mistakenly think you’re here for a business negotiation." Jasper said, using a somewhat inappropriate description.

The person in the passenger seat pouted and didn’t say anything else.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at a styling design studio under The Sinclair Group.

The two got out one after the other, with Nora following him with small steps, not expecting it to be the same old place.

The person in charge, who hadn’t seen their big boss for a long time, greeted them warmly.

Soon, their gaze turned to today’s star: "Darling, your skin is still as good as ever, have you lost a little weight recently? Look at your second collarbone showing, but you should eat a bit more!"

"You noticed that much? You’re indeed the chief designer."

The conversation between the two fell word for word into Jasper Sinclair’s ears.

"Wife has lost weight," he silently noted these four words in his heart.

Even though they hadn’t been in touch for more than half a month, in his eyes, their disagreement was temporary, and eventually, things would resolve, and they would reconcile.

The stylist did a simple tweak to Nora’s makeup and then took her to pick a dress.

"Tentatively, this Klein blue one."

She picked a vibrant dress with a backless design that was quite eye-catching.

The stylist also recommended a blush pink cocktail dress of moderate length, just above the knees, with not too much skin exposure.

Nora couldn’t help but love both dresses, and for a moment, she found it hard to decide.

The stylist reminded her: "Why not ask Director Sinclair’s opinion?"

She took the advice and turned to Jasper Sinclair with the dresses in hand, "Help me choose one."
