On the ninth floor of the HD Square

John took Nina to a shop named Top Art Salon. The signboard hanging over the door was creative and tasteful, attracting people's attention.

It was a shop that provided hairdressing, makeup, and modeling services. There was a lot of customers who were all wearing expensive and branded clothes. One could surmise that most of them, if not all, were rich and influential.

The shop was spacious, bright, magnificent, and stylish.

As soon as John and Nina stepped into the shop, someone came up to greet them. They did not walk straight inside but turned right and went into a passage.

There was glass on both sides of the passage. To the right, Nina saw people coming and going outside, and to the left, she saw the shop staff working busily.

The end of the passage was blocked by a curtain. The staff who greeted them opened the curtain and let John and Nina in. They entered a new, more spacious room. It was not as magnificent as the shop out front, but it was low-key luxurious. The interior was very similar to North Yard's design.

In this new room, there were no other customers, only clothes

and glared at him.

She had been a little angry with herself since she made her feelings for John known. She was not used to feeling embarrassed, especially not in front of him.

She found it a little strange that she was even able to feel this way. It was so not like her.

"Am I coming as your bodyguard or your partner?" Nina was conflicted yet expectant. She actually hoped that John would choose the latter as his answer.

Oh, that was just a load of nonsense!

'As my wife,' John thought to himself.

Vivian's birthday party was a high-profile event. Lexingport City's high-ranking officials, distinguished families, and the media would be present at the party.

John already had a plan in mind. At Vivian's birthday celebration, he would introduce Nina as his wife. At that time, all the celebrities in the city would be there, and the media would soon spread the news throughout the entire city like wildfire.

Everyone would know that Nina was his legal wife.

At that moment, she would not be able to escape.

She could only stay with him obediently and call him sweet terms of endearment whether she liked it or not.
