Chapter 146 Narcissist
She wants the discounted stuff, eh? Guess she’s not rich enough to get any limited edition items. The retail assistant lazily packed her things up and swiped the card.
Bella gritted her teeth. I’ll be back after my big break, and you’ll be sorry you looked down on me.
Bella went back to her dorm and changed into the expensive dress as carefully as she could. She looked in the mirror, thinking that she looked a whole lot prettier in that dress. The woman put on perfect makeup and used the perfume she had been keeping for special occasions.
She spun around while thinking to herself, Dang, I’m beautiful. With that, she took a whiff of the scent of perfume on her and happily saddled her worn-out backpack as she went toward Luke Corporation.
She was careful not to let anyone get near her on the bus, lest they tear her dress. At the same time, she thought she looked like the most beautiful person in the world. Everyone was staring at her, and she enjoyed the attention. I’m going to be famous soon, and I get to see Hanson. Oh, he’s so handsome and dashing. Even if I only have one chance, I’d like to sleep with him.
Before she went into the building, Bella stopped for a moment to straighten herself out and made sure she looked perfect. She went to the reception area and told them about the reason for her visit. The receptionist did not refuse her. Then, she led her into the rest area and poured her a glass of water. “The president is in a meeting, and he’ll be here soon.”
“Thank you,” she said to the receptionist. Her heart felt like it would jump out of her chest, and the prospect of meeting Hanson itself was killing her.
She kept looking at the mirror, making sure that her makeup was flawless. She would hate it if she left a bad impression on Hanson because of her flawed makeup. Bella craned her neck, looking forward to Hanson’s arrival. A while later, a group of men in suits appeared, and Hanson was in the center of that group.
He stood out among the crowd, nodding at his employees occasionally. His every movement radiated elegance and attraction.
Bella could not hold herself back anymore. She tugged on her dress and wore the perfect smile that she had practiced thousands of times. When Hanson came close to her, she said with the cutest voice she could muster, “Hello, Mr. Luke, I’m Bell—”
Hanson and his team left before she could finish introducing herself. She was left alone, awkward and embarrassed.
I was looking forward to this, yet he didn’t even look at me. I’m right here, and he just went past me without even saying a word? How could he do that to me?
However, the more aloof Hanson was, the more attracted Bella was to him. There’s no point to it if I can get him easily. I love a challenge, after all. Bella balled her fists. I will become the most famous star alive, and I will make him look at me. In fact, I will make everyone look at me.
Just when she was about to return to the rest area, a man with a beer gut came up to Bella. His assistant followed not far behind, and Bella smiled at them. “Hello, I’m Bella.”
The man was Hereward Zonker, the manager of the advertising department. He waved Bella down before she could even finish her introduction. After all, they knew all about her case before she even came to the company.
Hereward noticed the cunning gleam in her eyes, and he gave Bella a close look. The man smirked and said to his assistant, “Brief her about the event’s details, and make sure that everything is in order.”
