Hanabi sat in the salon chair, her heart racing with anticipation as the stylist worked wonders on her hair and makeup. She had always been hesitant to change her appearance, but today she was obliged to undergo a makeover because of Alexander.

As the stylist expertly curled her hair and applied makeup, Hanabi couldn’t help but ponder if she made the right choice. She stole glances at herself in the mirror, marveling at the transformation taking place before her eyes.

Meanwhile, Alexander waited patiently in the reception area, his anticipation growing with each passing moment. He was eager to witness her transformation firsthand. Alexander already knew that Hanabi possessed a unique charm. Even in her simple clothes and appearance, she stood out from other women, how much more if she dolled herself up?

After a few minutes of waiting, Hanabi’s transformation was finished. The stylist called Alexander’s attention.

“Alex! My job is done. Now behold and see my magnificent creation!” The stylist proudly said as she gestured for Hanabi to come over.

When Hanabi finally emerged from the salon, Alexander’s breath caught in his throat. He was rendered speechless by her beauty, his eyes widening in awe as he took in her new look.

Hanabi felt conscious under his intense gaze, feeling a little bit uncomfortable. She wasn’t used to being the center of attention. Several pairs of eyes were staring at her aside from Alexander.

However, her gaze fell on Alexander as they locked eyes for several seconds. She couldn’t believe the effect her makeover had on Alexander, and she couldn’t help but feel a flutter of excitement in her chest.

“Wow, Hanabi,” Alexander finally managed to say, his voice filled with admiration. “You look absolutely stunning.”

Hanabi smiled, grateful for his compliment. “Thanks. I guess you have good taste in choosing women’s dresses and shoes.”

Alexander chuckled in amusement. “It’s you I’m praising… Your overall look, not just your dress and shoes. I guess many men in the party will be vying for your attention.”

After saying that, Alexander offered her his hand. Hanabi gladly accepted it. As they left the salon together, she couldn’t help but feel satisfied with her new look. She was confident that she wouldn’t embarrass Alexander for being his date tonight.

As they settled inside the car, Hanabi started asking Alexander about this party.

“So, what is this party all about?” She asked him with intrigue.

“This gathering is organized by my grandfather and his aim is to find me a suitable wife among the ladies. The daughters of powerful families, politicians, and businessmen in Country J will be attending. My grandfather will choose a wife for me and announce it at the end of the party.”

Hanabi: “…”

‘Wait. Something doesn’t feel right.’ Hanabi was dumbfounded by Alexander’s revelation. “What?!! If that is the case… then why are you bringing me as your date? Do you want me to be killed by those ladies who are hoping to be selected as your wife?!” Hanabi exclaimed exasperatedly. She had the urge to jump out of the car right now and leave Alexander behind.

“Why are you trying to get me involved here? I smell incoming trouble!” she added.

Alexander let out a soft chuckle. “Hey, relax. Trust me. I got your back. No one can lay a finger on you.”

“Besides, you have no right to refuse. You are my slave. You must obey me as your master.” Alexander winked at her teasingly.

Hanabi could only roll her eyes. “Alright. So what do you expect me to do? Your grandfather is going to select a wife for you. Isn’t it rude to bring someone like me as your date? They might misunderstand our relationship.”

Alexander let out another husky laugh as he teasingly lifted her chin. He couldn’t help it. He was captivated by Hanabi’s beauty tonight.

“This is exactly what I want– my grandfather misunderstanding our relationship. I want him to think that you are my woman. And he doesn’t need to find a wife for me because I already have you.” Hanabi’s jaw dropped and her eyes widened in disbelief. ‘Is he serious? He is taking advantage of me! I didn’t agree to do this.’

“Alexander, I think… you need some beating today,” Hanabi stated, flashing her sly smile.

Alexander just shrugged his shoulders. “You can’t do that. We had a deal. You lost our bet. You are my slave.” He reminded her.

“It’s just a simple task, Hanabi. Just think of it as an undercover mission. You will pretend to be my girlfriend. And we must convince my grandfather. He is smart and clever. He can see through our lies so we need to act convincingly in front of him.”

Hanabi folded her arms over her chest as she glared at Alexander. He left her with no choice. ‘What a clever move, Alexander. He knew I couldn’t refuse him because of our deal.’

“Fine. I’ll do my best. But I’m warning you. No sneaky moves! Or else, I’m going to beat you in front of your grandfather.” She threatened him.

“Of course! I promise… I won’t do anything without your consent. But you must cooperate with me. Our main goal is to deceive my grandfather.” Hanabi nodded in understanding. “Okay. I got it.”

It did not take long before they finally reached the venue. It was a five-star hotel. The famous hotel in Country J– Geisha Palace Hotel.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel, Hanabi suddenly felt a little bit nervous. She didn’t know why she started feeling pressured and tense.

‘C’mon, Hanabi. You can do this. Just think of this as an undercover mission.’ Hanabi tried to calm herself down.

Alexander stepped out of the car first as he opened the car door for her. The moment they alighted from the car, their acting had begun. They must act as a sweet loving couple! ‘Damn. Can I really do this? Sigh. Whatever! I’ll just follow Alexander’s lead.’

Alexander grabbed her hand, interlocking their fingers as he escorted her inside the building.

“Hanabi, just relax, okay? Keep smiling.” He whispered in her ears as they made their way to the venue.

“Yeah. I know.” Hanabi subconsciously tightened her grip on Alexander’s hand.

Alexander could only smile, enjoying Hanabi’s company. He could feel that she was a little bit nervous.
