Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 634 A Temporary Assistant

The make-up artist was putting on make-up for Laura.

Just at this moment, a staff member walked up to her.

"Excuse me, Laura, but… your assistant just said she suddenly got an upset stomach and that she

wanted to ask for a leave. We’ll arrange for another assistant to help you for the next few days. Is that

OK with you?"

Laura was shocked to hear that.

She didn’t catch on at first.

Nicole was ill?

Laura asked in surprise, "How come I know nothing of it? Where is she now?"

The staff member replied hesitantly, "She’s… off to the hospital. Maybe she got ill so suddenly that she

didn’t have the time to tell you, so she asked me to deliver the message for her. Since we have a lot to

do these days, we’ll just arrange for a temporary assistant for you. Are you fine with it?"

Laura nodded, "Of course."

Actually, she wasn’t fussy about stuff like this, but how come Nicole got ill out of the blue?

She was well last night!

With that in mind, Laura called Nicole.

The phone was answered at once, and Nicole’s weak voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hey, Laura. I’m so sorry. I don’t feel well and I don’t know why. I might not be able to work today."

Laura comforted her immediately, "It’s alright. Don’t think about work anymore. How are you feeling

now? What did the doctor say?"

Nicole felt guiltier upon hearing that.

But thinking of what her boss had told her, she could only force herself to answer, "I… I’m alright. It’s

just stomach flu, I assume. Maybe I just need to take a rest."

Relief surged through Laura as she heard what Nicole said.

"Well, fine then. Have a good rest. If there’s anything, call me."

Nicole replied at once, "OK. Thank you, Laura."

Laura hung up.

After that, she told the staff member, "OK. Bring her over."

The staff member agreed at once and left.

Before long, a temporary assistant was brought to her.

Meanwhile, Laura kept her eyes shut because the make-up artist was putting on eye make-up for her.

Eye make-up was the most important part of the whole look and every detail had to be perfect, so

Laura had to be cooperative and keep her eyes closed during the whole time.

Even if she had to open her eyes, she closed them right after.

The staff member brought the assistant to her and introduced the person to her. "Laura, your temporary

assistant will take care of you for the next few days."

Laura opened her eyes slightly and said, "OK. Go ahead with your work."

The staff member nodded and left.

Laura was surprised to see her new assistant, Leslie.

Because he was a man. Laura had assumed that she would get a female assistant.

Besides, she found him familiar.

Her new assistant was tall, about six foot one. He was wearing baggy sportswear with a bucket hat on

his head. Unshaven, he was standing against the light with his head down, so Laura couldn’t see his

face clearly.

But somehow, he looked so familiar to her.

But Laura thought no more of him. After all, she would never know the man in front of her was actually Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

the one she was most familiar with.

She just took him as a freak, who was dressed in baggy clothes to make himself look more stylish or

something like that.

Laura, nevertheless, didn’t comment on it because she met him for the first time, and besides, he was

just a temporary assistant.

She looked back and closed her eyes, letting the make-up artist do his work as she told Leslie what he

should do before she stopped talking.

Leslie said nothing but grunted. Then he went to make preparations for the shooting in the afternoon as

he was told.

Half an hour later, the make-up artist finished his work.

Laura went to get changed. She put on the jewels for the shooting and started modeling.

Every second counted for fashion shoots.

Because the photographer had to make full use of natural light, and they couldn’t afford to waste a

single minute.

Therefore, they had to finish the shooting without a break.

After a long day of hard work, Laura felt dead on her feet.

The good news was that the photographer was quite obsessive about the lighting, so they called it a

day as soon as the sun went down.

Finally, Laura had a chance to take a break.

The shooting site was quite far away from the hotel. The crew drove back in two cars.

Apart from Laura and Leslie, another few staff members would go in this car too, along with some

props.

Laura couldn’t leave until the crew finished packing up.

She was too tired to even move, so she just sat down on the steps and took a break while waiting for

them.

Just at this point, someone passed a thermos to her.

Laura caught a glimpse of it and turned around, only to see her new assistant, Leslie.

"What’s this?"

She took the thermos cup and asked.

Leslie answered her in a quiet voice, "Honey water."

Laura paused.

She loved drinking honey water, especially when she was exhausted.

Only Nicole and the few people close to her knew it.

But how could the man before her, who she had never met before, know a cup of honey water was the

thing she needed the most right now?

Laura unscrewed the lid and took a sip with doubt.

The sweetened hot water flowed into her throat and warmed her chest.

Her heart seemed to have grown warm as well.

She turned to Leslie and said, "Thank you."

Leslie gave a slight smile, but it wasn’t obvious underneath his untrimmed beard.

Staring at him, Laura found him more and more familiar.

She couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity, "Have we met before?"

Leslie froze. Apparently, he didn’t expect her to ask this question.

The next moment, he beamed a pleasant smile at her, saying nothing.

Laura realized that this man rarely speak.

She hardly heard him talking.

While she was wondering, Laura suddenly saw Leslie reaching out to signal her to stretch out her

hand.

Not knowing what he was going to do, Laura stretched out her hand with curiosity.

She had thought he was about to lead her somewhere, but unexpectedly, her palm became itchy and

she saw him writing something down quickly in her palm.

Laura’s brow twitched, her cheeks burning all of a sudden.

She jerked her hand back.
