Chapter 604: Two Sets of Men’s Clothing
Nora Northwood and Jasper Sinclair arrived in Paris at three o’clock in the night, the coldest hour of the day.
They took a special passage through customs.
Along the way, Nora marveled: walking alongside someone from the billionaire list, no matter when, there’s always priority and special treatment.
The reception staff from The Sinclair Group’s branch was already waiting there, and not only that, they brought warm, new clothing.
The only flaw was that there were only two sets of men’s outfits, with no women’s options.
A few French faces looked at each other, a bit different from what they expected?
Usually, the one following Jasper Sinclair around is Special Assistant Hayes.
They hadn’t received any news that the director’s wife was coming to Paris.
Jasper noticed everyone’s confusion and said in French, "Give me the coat first."
Just like that, in the midst of bewilderment, he took the men’s coat and personally put it on Nora, fastening each button until they were all done.
The reception staff, realizing their mistake, truly apologized, "Director Sinclair, we sincerely apologize for this oversight."
To this, Jasper nodded slightly, without saying any words of reproach. After all, it was his notification that hadn’t gone through, and this trip was rather sudden.
The two of them returned to the hotel.
Nora sat inside for a while before taking off the warm clothes.
According to domestic time, it’s ten o’clock now, time to prepare for sleep.
However, there were more important matters that needed to be addressed.
Jasper had the reception staff prepare several sets of women’s clothing, with his rather demanding requirements: they had to be suitable for formal occasions and warm against the wind.
After tidying up briefly, he asked Nora, "Do you need me to send someone to help you?"
Nora didn’t hesitate for a second and nodded directly in agreement.
"That would be perfect."
For this trip to Paris, she only brought four people, not counting the translator hired locally.
The on-site situation was yet to be determined; no one knew if anything unexpected might happen. Having a competent assistant would be the best for them.
A person of Jasper’s status was by no means ordinary.
For VK, there wasn’t a single downside.
What awaited Nora next were endless product analyses and social negotiations.
"This is Celine’s personal profile; she’ll be with you for the next week."
What Jasper handed her was a digital profile, from which it was clear the other person was a shrewd and capable woman, at least at the assistant manager level.
Nora, inappropriately, cracked a joke, "Do I need to pay her wage in advance?"
"You can pay me directly."
"Better not, since it’ll end up in my pocket anyway."
After a few jokes, Jasper asked if she wanted to take a bath.
Nora found it troublesome and said forget it.
Jasper, worried she might catch a cold being outside, insisted that she soak her feet for a while.
Warmth spread from her feet to her heart, and soon drowsiness hit.
Nora felt she could fall asleep sitting; rather than move, her most effective method was to act spoiled with Jasper.
"Honey, I’m so tired, can you pour the water for me, please?"
Jasper just loved this, eagerly helping to pour the water, his once-president demeanor nowhere to be found.
The tens of thousands of employees at The Sinclair Group would surely be shocked if they saw their director pouring foot wash water for a woman.
