Shameless Noah noticed his wife's stiffness on her chair since he pegged her. He smiled and placed on hands on her lap to see her flinch. "Are you alright?" Anna turned red immediately. She looked at her Aunt and the woman didn't seem to see anything.
Just how much more shameless can this man be? He was touching her before the maids and her aunt without permission. No man dares touch her before her family. And then it dawned on her, she was married to him.
He had even threatened to kiss her other lips. Anna pressed her legs closed dying of embarrassment. She would never let that happen.
"I... I'm fine." Noah let her thighs go and she let out a relieved sigh. Her heart was already racing so fast like she had just ran a marathon. This man really is going to be the end of her.
Last night had been unforgettable and now, he was doing it again.
"Don't forget the dinner tonight sweet girl." Noah said to see her nod.
"That'll be after my meeting with George." Anna picked a glass of water and gulped down a mouth full.
"Are you sure you don't want my help?" She shook her head dabbing her lips with a napkin. "I'm fine. I'll tell you when I need your help." Noah had wanted to deal with George before now but he wanted to respect his wife's wish.
He would deal with George if he does anything stupid to his wife.
"Master, Madam." Lurch bowed at both people. "I'm sorry for disturbing your breakfast but there are ten designers seating in the mansion right. Each person said they came to style you madam." Lurch announced.
Anna turned to Noah who shrugged. He had done just as he promised. The designers he promised to send over to style her last night were here. Anna didn't know what to say to him.
"Tell them my wife will be with them shortly." Noah said to lurch and he bowed and left.
"Thank you." Anna said softly.
"It's nothing." Came her husband's words.
"I also have a gift for you aunt Grace." Grace smiled at him.
"You didn't have to son. You have given me more than enough."
"You deserve it and more."

After breakfast, Noah left for work while Anna walked back into the mansion with Grace. As the two stepped into the lounge, they were greeted by a chorus of voices. "Welcome, Miss Sui!" The designers there welcomed her warmly.
The lounge was filled with a dazzling array of clothes, each more beautiful than the last. Anna smiled, feeling a mix of excitement and gratitude. "Thank you all for coming," she said, her voice bright and welcoming.
In the midst of the designers and their assistants, a man stood out. He was dressed in a sharp white and black attire, holding two red boxes in his hands. He walked over to where Grace stood, his demeanor calm and respectful.
"Madam," he called softly, catching Grace's attention. She turned to face him, curiosity lighting up her eyes.
"Me?" Grace asked her eyes turning wide.
The man nodded. "Mr. Declan has specifically handpicked these for you. He hopes you like them." He handed the boxes to her with a polite smile.
Grace beamed, her heart warming at Noah's thoughtfulness. He had mentioned a surprise, but she hadn't expected this. "Thank you so much," she said, her voice filled with gratitude.
The man bowed slightly. "You're welcome, Madam." He then turned and left, leaving the designers fight for their lives in there. Everyone knew this was more than just showcase, it was a competition to get picked by the beautiful Anna Sui.
Your career would skyrocket to the highest level of you get picked by Anna Sui. That's how much power she holds in the society at the moment.
Every wealthy daughter from wealthy families wanted to be like her. The queen of fashion in the city. Anything she says about beauty sells immediately. He doubts she knows the kind of power she holds.
Anna glanced around at the ten designers, all eager to present their creations. Each one knew her style intimately, and she could see the determination in their eyes.
She took a deep breath, ready to dive into the selection process when she noticed her aunt opening a red box.
"Aunt Grace." Anna called for the woman to smile at her.
"Anna look at what Noah got for me." Grace carefully opened one of the boxes Noah had sent. Inside was a stunning emerald green dress, perfectly tailored and adorned with delicate lace. It was sophisticated and elegant, just like Grace.
"Oh, this is exquisite," Grace murmured, her fingers lightly tracing the intricate details. She looked up, her eyes meeting Anna's. "Your husband really has an eye for fashion."
Anna wanted to respond when she saw the curious eyes of the designers staring at her. While a few came to work, others came for gossip and it looks like they have gotten what they wanted.
She only hopes this doesn't escalate so much.
"Can I see your designs now?" Anna asked trying to deviate everyone's attention and it worked. Everyone went back to showing their little piece of dresses.
At the same time Grace set the dress aside and opened the second box, revealing a set of matching jewelry—emerald earrings and a necklace that sparkled brilliantly in the light. The jewels caught everyone's attention.
"Isn't that rosella's 2nd edition, only these price of jewel exist in the world." One of the designers said and the others nodded. It was said that the jewel was purchased yesterday, but no one knew who bought it.
Noah had noticed Grace's love for jewel and decided to get her something special, she didn't know he would go extravagant.
Murmurs began among the designers as each person talked about how special the jewel was. Grace ordered lurch to get the maids as they carried her gifts back into her bedroom.
