AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Ding!

When the elevator door opened, Roxane followed Nadia.

Jonas, who was leaning against the railing in the corridor and smoking, suddenly saw Roxane coming out of the elevator, and he instinctively cursed under his breath,

– Whore

-Am I hallucinating?

Roxane was also stunned when she saw Jonas.

-It’s such a coincidence, isn’t it?

Jonas quickly regained his senses. When he thought she was coming to pick him up, he quickly threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his toes.

Before his uncontrollable joy spread, Roxane and Nadia had already passed him without looking at him.

– ???

Jonas’ expression immediately darkened.

At the same time, Roxane prayed internally: “Don’t call me, don’t call me, don’t…”

-Roxane Alvarez!

A man’s sinister voice sounded behind her.

Roxane stopped in her tracks, lowered her head and bit her lip in annoyance.

“Can’t you pretend you don’t know me?”

After a moment, Roxane turned around and smiled shyly.

– What a coincidence!

Nadia rushed between the duo and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face.

Jonas stepped forward and said through gritted teeth:Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You pretended not to see me earlier. Are you going to pretend again now?

Roxane quickly found an excuse.

“I didn’t think you’d want to talk to me.

Jonas scoffed. Obviously he didn’t believe her.

“Young Master Jonas, if you want to catch up with her, do it another day. I invited her to my shop for something today, Nadia said timely before holding Roxane’s hand and pulling it away.

Nadia’s boutique was located not far from Jonas’ art gallery.

As soon as Roxane entered the store, she smelled a faint scent lingering in the air.

A young girl with a ponytail, who was arranging goods in the store, looked up and smiled.

– Sister Nadia, you are back!

Nadia nodded as she took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack.

– Yes. I’ll be at the store this afternoon. If there’s nothing else, you can leave early.

The store had just opened so business wasn’t going very well. It was enough for just one person to run the store. With this, she thought she could also save a little labor.

“Okay,” replied the young girl. She finished what she was doing and took off her apron before grabbing her bag and coat and leaving.

Roxane looked around the store. The decoration was simple but exquisite, and there were all kinds of bottles on the shelves. She asked, looking uncertain,

-Are these perfumes?

Nadia poured a glass of water for Roxane and placed it on the table. She nodded.

– I made them myself, so not many people buy them.

Nowadays, most people prefer famous brands. Homemade perfumes were not very popular.

– I’m sure they smell good. It’s just that no one has discovered these treasures yet, Roxane said. She was not superficial and her words were sincere.

Nadia threw a piece of plum candy into her mouth before saying:

– I want you to draw me. What do you think if I hang it there?

Roxane looked at the spot Nadia pointed to and nodded.

– I think that it’s good. You are so beautiful. Why not frame a photo of yourself instead?

Nadia took a sip of water and put the glass down before saying:

– I can’t be bothered to take a photo. Plus, it’s more meaningful to have my portrait drawn.

This reasoning was sound.

Roxane looked around the store before asking:

-So, where do you want me to draw?

“Over there,” Nadia said, pointing to the area near the cash register, ”

– Oh okay. You don’t need me sitting here all the time, do you? I can’t stay here for a few hours straight.

Roxane shook her head. Then she took her bag to where Nadia had indicated before taking out her drawing board. She said :

– Do what you have to do. Don’t blame me.

This matched Nadia’s thoughts.

Roxane found a chair and took out the tools she needed. She first used a pencil to draw before slowly filling her sketch with colors.

Meanwhile, Nadia tinkered with her perfumes. For her, each bottle was a treasure in itself.

Soft music was playing in the store and a faint scent permeated the air.

The duo didn’t speak, and there were no customers.

The atmosphere was calm and harmonious.
