Chapter 187
Jareth booked a presidential suite in the hotel and instructed his female secretary to quickly buy a low–key cocktail dress for Marilla to wear.
As Marilla went into the room to change, Jareth sat alone on the leather couch, legs crossed, left arm resting on the edge of the couch, and the fingers on his right hand lightly tapping on his knee.
If he were wearing a black suit tonight, he would look like a groom waiting for his bride to try on her wedding gown.
Soon, the door opened
The secretary, with a smile on her face, led Marilla out of the room.
“Mr. Jareth, Marilla is dressed already”
Jareth casually turned his head to see Marilla in a burgundy lace dress, standing in front of him with her eyes sparkling. She looked both adorable and a bit naive.
He paused slightly, his gaze deepening.
Jareth’s life was filled with luxury and hustle. He had seen all sorts of women, but he had never seen such clear eyes. It was as if his gaze would tarnish her innocent eyes if he lingered for a bit longer.
“Why did you buy such an old–fashioned color? She’s so young. Can’t she wear something a bit cuter?”
Jareth kept his eyes on Marilla’s pretty face, mocking his secretary, “You’ve been with me for so long, how can your taste still be so bad?”
The secretary knew that although Jareth seemed laid–back, he was actually very picky about the details. She blushed in shame, ready to apologize.
However, at that moment, Marilla spoke, Jareth, I really like this color, but red doesn’t suit you. It makes you look kinda dark.”
The secretary in the back held back her laughter, barely keeping her composure.
Jareth’s face really had turned gloomy now
Apart from Evadne, no woman had ever dared to criticize him so directly in front of him.
Truth be told, he considered himself to be one of the most handsome men in the country, and only Thaddeus dared to say that Jareth was second!
“Because you’re Thad’s sister, I’ll forgive you.” Jareth was a bit unhappy, his voice slightly stiff.
