Chapter 32 My Girlfriend
"I'm used to it," Emily said, "I've been living like this since I was little. I don't think it's hard."
Jackson remained silent.
He drove slowly, occasionally glancing at her through the rearview mirror.
Emily's impact on him was too shocking, and he still couldn't quite react.
Is this really the same woman from that day?
When he took off her black-framed glasses, he could already see that she was actually quite attractive. But today she was wearing a different outfit, and it was not just "good-looking" that could describe her anymore.
And he could tell, Emily wasn't wearing makeup.
Actually, a T-shirt and a long skirt were very common women's clothing, and white was an ordinary color, but when worn on her, it felt a bit different.
Emily's skin was quite smooth, and her features were very beautiful. Whether she wore makeup or not, it was evident that she had the foundation to be a beauty.
Jackson nodded. He thought he understood Emily's situation. No wonder she was so beautiful but still didn't have a boyfriend. It was probably because of her painful past life that she deliberately used ugliness as a disguise to protect herself.
If she had revealed her true appearance early on, she probably wouldn't have been able to live an ordinary life.
But this was also her preciousness, not being tempted by money, and being able to hold onto her true self.
Emily sat beside him, feeling a bit restrained. She never expected that Jackson had already thought so much.
Finally, the car stopped at an upscale private club.
Jackson seemed to be a regular here, and the doorman respectfully bowed and opened the door for them to enter.
"Boss, you haven't told me what kind of gathering it is today. Do you need me to design a makeup look for you?"
Jackson looked at her as if she was a fool, "With this face of mine, standing here is already perfect. Do I still need makeup?"
Emily couldn't respond to that.
But her job was to do his makeup.
Seeing the people inside the club, Emily guessed that they were likely to bring female companions, so she asked, "Do I need to do makeup for your companion?"
Jackson held her hand and looped it around his arm, "Aren't you my companion?"
Emily was confused, she pulled her hand back, "Sorry boss, I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Don't be afraid," Jackson softened seeing her startled like a frightened rabbit, "Today is my brother's company's celebration. I need you to help me, pretend to be my girlfriend, and I'll add an extra hundred thousand to your salary."
Emily felt a bit deceived.
"Boss, I'm just a makeup artist, I'm afraid I can't handle this job? If you're willing, I'm sure there are many girls who would be willing to play this role."
Jackson raised an eyebrow, "You're not willing? Five hundred thousand."
"I didn't mean that..."
"One million."
"Boss, please don't do this. It's not about the money. I just feel that deceiving others isn't right..."
Jackson cut her off with a raised hand, "Enough, five million, I'll pay now."
