Chapter 629:
Yelena then replied, maintaining her composure, “No way. I’m in a hurry too p>
“Alright, Miss Roberts. I’ll inform the other client,” the attendant said before leaving.
Yelena simply nodded in acknowledgment.
Returning to Monica, the attendant relayed the situation. Monica asked,
“Did you tell her who I am p>
“I did,” the attendant confirmed.
Monica’s brow furrowed. Despite knowing her identity, the other client had still refused to reschedule. Monica felt this was a clear sign of disrespect.
Who would have the audacity to challenge her like that?
Soon after, a stylish and elegant figure descended the stairs—it was Alex, the salon’s chief stylist.
He paused momentarily upon seeing Monica but quickly regained his composure.
Smiling, he greeted her, “Miss Mitchell, I wasn’t expecting you today. Unfortunately, I have another appointment. May I arrange for one of our other stylists to assist you p>
Monica’s frown deepened, her response tinged with displeasure. “No. I only trust you here p>
“Unfortunately, the client I’m attending to is Mr. Barton’s guest. You know I can’t turn him away,” Alex explained.
Monica was taken aback. A guest of Austin’s?
A beautiful face briefly flashed through her mind. Could it be Yelena? The thought that Yelena might be the one inside made Monica even more uneasy. Yet, she maintained her poise in front of everyone. With a feigned smile, she replied, “No problem. Go ahead with your work. I’ll wait p>
If it was indeed Yelena inside, Monica resolved to stay; she feared being overshadowed if styled by another stylist.
Alex then opened the VIP room door and greeted Yelena warmly. “Miss Roberts, hello. I’m Alex. Mr. Barton has specifically asked me to ensure your look is perfect today p>

Yelena opened her eyes and nodded slightly. “Hello, Alex. I trust your expertise, so please feel free to work your magic p>
Alex assessed Yelena’s features and discussed the theme of the evening’s event along with her personal style preferences.
He suggested several styling options, all of which Yelena approved. Alex then began to craft her look.
Hours later, Yelena stood before the mirror, almost unable to recognize herself.
Alex had expertly styled her long hair into an elegant updo, with a few strands softly framing her face.
Her makeup was meticulously applied, enhancing her features while maintaining a look of understated nobility that remained approachable. Yelena then slipped into the evening gown Austin had chosen for her—a dark blue dress embellished with tiny crystals that twinkled with her every movement.
A delicate belt cinched her waist, highlighting her figure elegantly.
Yelena admired her reflection for quite a while. She then turned to Alex and said, “Thank you, Alex. You’ve done a wonderful job p>
Alex smiled and replied, “It’s my pleasure, Miss Roberts. You’ll definitely be the center of attention tonight p>
As Yelena stepped out of the VIP room, she felt a piercing gaze on her. Without needing to check, she knew exactly who it was.
Turning around, her suspicion was confirmed—Monica was staring at her.
As dusk settled over the city, Yelena left the salon, stepping into the car Austin had sent for her and heading for Amanda’s birthday party. Inside the car, Yelena’s phone buzzed with a message from Austin.
“I’ll be counting on you tonight p>
