Please Be Gentle With Me Mr Grant novel Chapter 7

The press conference was set for two in the afternoon, in a meeting room at the Empire Group Building.

Having been treated to a good meal by Matthew, Blanca stayed nice and obedient. A makeup artist did a light bit of makeup on her, while a stylist fitted her with a tuxedo.

She stood before the mirror and looked at the elegant lady in the mirror, a little happy, but also a little troubled, and most of all, she wasn’t used to it.

Was this still her?

Did she have to keep on with the acting from now on?

Thinking about that, she tugged uncomfortably at the tight straps of the dress.

Matthew went into the makeup studio, their gazes meeting in the mirror. Seeing the pale, tall girl there, Matthew’s gaze deepened.

Blanca rubbed her neck, a little embarrassed. “Is it strange? I haven’t worn a lot of dresses.”

Matthew stared for a while, then said coolly, “It’ll do.”

She actually looked pretty, with defined features, and a slender but well-proportioned body.

The most lethal part was, when her calm eyes were still, they seemed to stamp all luxuries and worldly affairs beneath her feet.

That sort of elegance that came with birth was nobler than Matthew had seen in any woman.

It was hard to imagine some girl with such a humble background carrying this sort of aura.

He recalled her jade pendant. If it really was hers, then her identity wasn’t that of a regular jane. Considering that, Matthew frowned.

“I’m not used to wearing high heels. Can you help me up in a bit? This is too tall! And it’s hard on my feet…” Blanca walked up in front of Matthew, feeling like she was on stilts as she complained.

He shot a look at her shoes and said mildly, “If you promise not to trip today, I’ll take you to that restaurant tomorrow.”

Blanca’s pain seemed to disappear, and she slapped her chest. “No problem!”

Matthew and Blanca went hand in hand into the conference room, where the reporters were already waiting with their cameras rolling.

Accompanied by flashes and the snap-snap-snaps of shutters, Blanca grew nervous, and Matthew took her hand, showing her a rare, gentle smile.
