Chapter 281 - A Bride (2/2)

Elizabeth quickly got up and headed back to the cottage to retouch her makeup and change to her last attire. Whilst she was dressing up, she overheard some of the staff talking about the investor came to visit.

”What the investor is here?”

”We don't really know, but one of the producers saw him earlier, but he left already.” The stylist explained as she continued to curl the girl's hair and attach beautiful flowers around it.

”Really?”

Elizabeth ponders why the investor came to visit yet did not even bother to show his face to her when she is the model for the magazine.

'Something does not add up.'

”Alright, you're all set.”

Elizabeth checked herself in the mirror and was surprised by her whole transformation. Her curly, wavy hair covered with fresh white flowers completed her new look. She only had light makeup on and was dressed in a simple but charming beach dress. She wore a jasmine white crocheted lace backless maxi dress with a tying open back.

The more she looked at herself the more she looked like a bride getting married on the beach. As she thought about it, a memory flash all of a sudden which caused her to smile bitterly, 'I used to dream of a beach wedding...'

”Sis Li Zi, you looked like a bride whose about to get married on the beach.” Liying boldly declared amazed how the girl looked.

She too thought she looked like a bride and was curious about why she was dressed like one. But of course, she did not ponder on things for as a model she needs to be professional and not complain no matter what her attire is.

When the girl walked down to the beach, the staff all turned around to welcome but were all muted and statued on the spot when they gazed at their eyes on her.

”Li Zi...”

”You...”

Most of them could not finish the words they wish to express towards the girl. She was just so beautiful despite how simple she was dressed. Her beauty made every guy's heart skip a beat...

”Alright places.” The photographer shouted, seeing everyone once again was in a daze by the girl's charm.

Elizabeth was totally focused with what she was doing until the staff caught her attention for they all gather in one corner.

”Li Zi is something wrong?” The photographer asked why her attention was elsewhere. When the photographer turned around to where the girl was looking at, he understood why she was suddenly distracted. ”Who's that?”

The man was all dressed up in his casual suit. He wore a baby blue shirt inside paired it with a navy blue blazer and white pants. He was tall and handsome capturing every lady's eye all over him.

”President Stanford, I thought you already left?” The producer hastily went over and greeted the man.

”I decided to stay for a bit.” The young man replied, while his gaze was on the girl standing all froze by the beach. He ignored everyone and went closer to them.

”President Stanford, this is Mr. Bailey our photographer and our model Miss Li Zi.” The producer spoke in such a respectful manner towards the young man.

”President Stanford, welcome.”

Jayden Stanford ignored the two of them and approached the girl still in a daze from seeing him. His eyes softly gazed at the girl as he spoke in a gentle manner.

”How are you?”

”What...”

Elizabeth was unable to finish what she wishes to say, she does not want any connection with him and worries how the staff with think of her.

”President Stanford, welcome...” She forced a smiled as she greeted the man whilst her heartache seeing the man up close once again.

Jayden Stanford was not pleased how the girl was addressing him, but he understood why she was acting strangely towards him after what he'd done to her and right now she is using a different identity.

”Continue.” He said, as he left and went back to where everyone was as the producer followed him.

As the man turned his back on her, Elizabeth quickly took a few steps away from everyone as she hides her face and clenched her aching heart.

”Why are you here?”

”Li Zi, are you alright?”

Elizabeth force a smile on her face as she turned around to face the photographer, ”Yeah, let's continue...”

Even though she said she was fine but deep inside she wasn't. Her feeling and emotion aren't stable right now and seeing the man just worsen everything.

As she gathers her thoughts, she now realized as to why she was given such privilege and care.

'What do you want?
