Chapter 290 – Year End Party (2)

Yan Shuyu wasn’t easily fooled. She immediately stood up for herself. “What I meant was I owe you for an activity after I was paid; I didn’t say I owe you one. They are two different things. I can take you out for a fancy meal, buy you a gift, but you can’t use this as a leverage to force me into participating in an activity against my wish.”

“I didn’t use it as a leverage. I just would like you to spend more time with me is all.” Sweet words coming suddenly from Boss Zhou had Yan Shuyu blushing right away. Even her chin that was held up high lowered a little.

Having said that, Zhou Qinhe continued to make his point. “You said you were going to take us on a vacation after you were paid but I ended up paying for the entire trip because an oversea trip was out of your budget. Then you said you owe me one. Was I not right?”

Yan Shuyu wasn’t sure how to respond to that. She felt that the boss’s logic was a little bit off but she couldn’t quite put her fingers on it. She just looked at him wordlessly.

The boss’s aura grew as hers diminished. The boss became more confident. Crossing his arms in front of his chest, he said, “I wanted to have you attend the annual party with me in return but you are making up all sorts of excuses. Are you trying to go back on your words?”

“No, that’s not true. I am not.” Yan Shuyu denied frantically. Being true to her words, after all, was one of her very few positive character traits. She would not allow the boss to ruin her reputation that way.

Zhou Qinhe stuck his head over happily, his cheek almost touching hers. “Okay, it is decided then.”

Yan Shuyu opened up her mouth and was about to decline when the boss glanced over immediately. “You have something else to add?”

Yan Shuyu, “……”

What else could she say? In order to prove that she was, indeed, a person who was true to her words, Yan Shuyu finally, while feeling being unfairly treated, mumbled and accepted the boss’s invitation. =.=

That afternoon, she received ball gown and jewelries sent by the boss. He said to have her try out the size first and it could be switched out if it didn’t fit.

Even her entire ensemble was ready by now. The efficient of it all made Yan Shuyu wondered whether the boss had this planned all along. Nevertheless, Yan Shuyu didn’t have much time to mull over that. Her attention had been drawn by the gown that was so dazzling that she could go blind – the boss was, after all, the boss. The gown that he sent over was a custom-made designer brand gown that only stars would wear when walking down the red carpet. And just who was she to be able to receive the same treatment?

And, just like that, Yan Shuyu was completely mesmerized by her aura-that-rivals-an-actress self.

One she had accepted the fact that she was going to attend the annual party with the boss, not only did Yan Shuyu no longer resent that, she was looking forward to it more and more. Mainly she was very pleased by her all dolled up and adorned by jewelries self.

The boss was not one to compromise for anything less than perfect. Now that both the gown and accompanying jewelries had been decided, Secretary Lu brought with her a team of makeup artists the next day to work on Yan Shuyu.

As the saying goes, the clothes make the person. Yan Shuyu only had on light makeup when she tried to gown on previously. She was already so beautiful that she hardly wanted to take off her outfit when she tried them on. Now that she had the complete makeover, she finally knew what stunning meant.

The rigged-out Yan Shuyu was completely mesmerized the two little boys who were officially on vacation and didn’t need to go to school and had been surrounding her the entire afternoon. The two brothers who had agreed to wait for them at home while they attended the annual party suddenly each grabbed onto one of her legs and wanted to tag along.

That didn’t bother Yan Shuyu but Boss Zhou wasn’t one who’d change his mind once it was made. He had turned down the little kiddos request using they were too young as a reason. And then, Yan Shuyu, who had never shined more in her life, left the house confidently with her arm in the boss’s.
