Chapter 108
The Woman From Hell
He did not even give me a chance to reject.
I did not know what he was going to do. Although I was scared to death, I knew I could not hide
from him. Even if I tried, he would always find me.
After sending a message to Cecilia to stay home and not go out, I went outside.
Under the hot sun outside the villa, two young men with sunglasses stood right in front of a black
Maybach. When they saw me coming out, one of them said in a deep voice, "Miss Lane, please get
in."
As I looked back at the villa's door, I tightly grabbed m y bag and my heart felt like it was being
squeezed into a ball. I did not know what would happen after I met Tyler. I just hoped that I would
not have to say goodbye to this place forever.
I was expecting them to take me directly to Tyler, but instead, the two men dropped me off at a
famous fashion studio downtown.
It was a popular studio where many celebrities who needed to attend big occasions would come to
get this brand to design their clothes for them.
I wanted to ask what was going on, but when I saw how quiet and solemn the two men looked, I
knew
well enough to shut my mouth. From the looks of it, it would probably be a waste of energy to ask
them anything.
Luckily, the owner of the store stepped out. "My, my. You must be Miss Lane. Sorry to welcome you
like this, but I've dismissed all my other customers as Mr. Laneâs instructions were clear."
The man was about 40 years old and named David. He was very famous, and despite his
ostentatious dressing, his styling was impeccable.
I did not expect Tyler to get the boss to style me. The thing was, David was not the type who took
personal clients.
I blushed with embarrassment and apologized. "I'm sorry to bother you." Dismissing guests at will
seemed to be something Tyler and Theo had in common.
David turned me around and looked at me for a long time before he tutted and said, "What a
beautiful woman! Your face, your body, and your aura are all excellent. Donât worry, since President
Lane left you to me, I'll make sure you dazzle everyone you meet tonight!"
It was the first time I was stared down like that and I felt a little embarrassed.
"Come on, let's go upstairs." After David said that, he swayed his waist as he walked and led the
way upstairs.
Although I did not understand what Tyler was doing, I had no choice but to go upstairs with David
when I saw the two strong men standing by the door behind me.
As long as I did whatever Tyler wanted me to do, I would be safe.
For the next two hours, several female attendants got busy revolving around me under David's
instructions. First, I had a rose bath. Then, he did my makeup and hair. Finally, I changed into a
specially prepared black strapless evening gown.
"Done! Perfect! I've never seen such a perfect woman. G o over there and take a look." David
rubbed his chin with one hand as he examined me, his gaze full of excitement.
I carried the dress to the mirror and was also stunned by how elegant and noble I looked.
'I-Is this even me?'
This was the first time I wore such thick makeup and such revealing clothes. I felt very
uncomfortable, and I unconsciously tried to tug the dress upward to cover m y cleavage.
"What are you doing? How could you pull up my perfectly styled dress? You instantly made it look
ten times worse. I seriously don't understand how you think. Usually, people would think it isnât
enough skin, yet youâre trying to hide." When David saw what I was doing, he nagged and yanked
back my dress to its original position.
I...
When the two men who were guarding the door outside saw that I was done, one of them came
over and said coldly, "Miss Lane, it's getting late. Let's go."
Tyler had yet to show up and did not send another message to me. I felt uneasy and told the two
men," Give me the address. I'll go by myself."
One of them said solemnly, "Mr. Lane has instructed u s to hand you over to him safely, so please
cooperate and don't make things difficult for us."
"If you don't tell me the address, I'm going home right now." I turned around, ready to leave.
"Miss Lane, donât be afraid. Mr. Lane just wants to take you to a dinner party. Heâs waiting for you at
the scene and weâll be sending you there." The two men stood in front of me, blocking me as they
spoke expressionlessly.
"I don't trust you guys." I decided to just speak out bluntly.
They looked at each other and one of them said, "Mr. Lane said that he has also invited Miss
Shane. I believe you wouldn't want Miss Shane to go alone, right?"
It was a blatant threat.
Even so, I had to give it to him. It was effective.
I did not say anything else anymore and angrily got into the car in the dress. As expected, Tyler still
knew me very well despite all the years that had passed. He seemed to still have a good grip on my
greatest weakness.
