In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 450

 
 

I was dumbfounded when I saw Stacey staring at me with an odd grin. “What’s up?”

 

“Don’t you think you look like Nancy?” she asked, pursing her lips.

She was so loud her fellow colleagues could hear her. I was rendered speechless because I was aware of the fact I resembled Nancy.

I looked her in the eyes with a frown. “So what?”

Stacey cast a sincere gaze and begged, “Scarlett! Can you do me a favor?”

I was confused for a few seconds. “What sort of favor do you need?”

She hesitated and had a hard time bringing up the request. Thus, those around her got ahead of her and said, “She does resemble Nancy in terms of look, but the vibe she’s giving off is far more exceptional than Nancy’s!”

All of a sudden, someone looked at Stacey and stuttered, “M-Ms. Holmes, are you going to—”

 

Stacey nodded and glanced at me. “Scarlett, Nancy could never be a match for you. I need to get the promotional clip produced today. Otherwise, Fuller Corporation will sustain a serious loss. If Mr. Fuller confronts me, I’m afraid I’m going to lose my job for good. Can you please help me with the promotional clip?”

“A promotional clip? Are you sure? I’m a complete rookie with zero exposure to the things you’re talking about.”

Stacey assured, “It’s fine! It’s not a big deal! As soon as you got changed and dolled up, the photographer will take over!”

 

When I saw the beads of sweat streaming down her forehead, my resolve wavered.

After hesitating for a short while, I nodded and gave in to her request.

Her colleagues heaved a sigh of relief because they managed to resolve the emergency. Stacey dragged me away and said, “Thank you so much!”

She showed me the way to the dressing room, asserting over and over again, “You have no idea how grateful I am, Scarlett! I was afraid you would turn me down because Mr. Fuller might not want you to show up in the limelight. My last option was to get down on my knees to acquire your consent.”

I thought she was exaggerating things and assured her once more, “It’s not that big of a deal. There’s no need for that.”

“You have no idea how impactful this seemingly trivial favor of yours is going to help me!”

After we got into the dressing room, the stylists and makeup artists had everything ready. As soon as Stacey delivered the instructions, she returned to the studio for the setup.

When I took a seat in front of the dressing table, the makeup artist couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ms. Stovall, you really do resemble Nancy!”
