Reborn Young Miss: Phoenix Burning Red-Chapter 221: Adrienne’s Secret (1)
Lennox wasn’t willing to leave Adrienne’s penthouse yet, but he and his wife hadn’t stepped out of it for three days since they married. He wanted nothing more than to stay like this forever, to forget about the outside world and just be with her.
But reality soon caught up with them, reminding him of their duties and responsibilities. Adrienne was supposed to go to Nanchuan today, and Lennox decided to join her to oversee the branch Huayi opened in that city.
As much as he wanted to stay here with his wife, he knew they had to face the demands of their professional lives and ensure the success of their business expansion. Gavin was also pushing him to take on more tasks and responsibilities within the company, as they were in the midst of a crucial growth phase.
Lennox couldn’t ignore the pressure and knew he needed to step up and prove himself capable of handling the added workload now that he was back. He also understood that he’d been relying too much. on Gavin for the past years, and it was time to lessen his best friend’s burden.
"Are you sure you want to come with me to Nanchuan?" Adrienne asked as she handed her luggage to Kalista.
Lennox shrugged. "Gavin asked me to do a sight inspection at our branch in Nanchuan. I also don’t mind spending more time with you."
According to Gavin, Adrienne had started a small shoe company she named Purple Cloud. Adrienne designed the shoes and used an alias to hide her identity. When Lennox heard about it, he was surprised, as he never thought Adrienne had an interest in designing shoes. He had caught her drawing a few dresses before but had no idea she had a talent for shoe design as well.
Purple Cloud was slowly making a name for itself in the fashion industry, with its unique and innovative designs catching the attention of fashion enthusiasts. Despite the initial secrecy surrounding Adrienne’s involvement, word began to spread about the mysterious, talented designer behind Purple Cloud, adding to the brand’s growing reputation.
They were separated for three long years, and so many things happened in their lives during that time. Despite the distance, they managed to stay in touch through phone and video calls. Their time difference had challenges, but they made it work by finding a convenient schedule that accommodated their busy lives.
During this period, Adrienne’s passion for designing shoes truly blossomed, as she dedicated countless hours to honing her craft and exploring new creative techniques. In her past life, Alistair had confined him at home and never given her a chance to pursue her dreams, but this time, she decided to take control of her life.
As he sat in the car with Adrienne, Lennox couldn’t help but wonder about the woman he had married. He knew that she was strong, intelligent, and fiercely independent, but he had never seen this side of her before. Her passion for design and her desire to succeed seemed to match his own, and Lennox felt an overwhelming sense of pride and admiration for his wife.
Adrienne, for her part, was focused on the road ahead. She wore a determined look on her face, her eyes flickering with a fierce light. Lennox had seen that look before, in the boardroom or during negotiations, and he knew that it meant she was in her element.
Lennox couldn’t help but feel proud of his wife’s achievements. She was more than just a beautiful socialite; she had a passion and talent for something she had kept hidden from him. He decided to support her in her future endeavors with Purple Cloud.
The flight was uneventful, and they landed in Nanchuan without any problems. They were greeted by the local Huayi staff, who led them to their hotel. The hotel was luxurious and had a stunning view of the city skyline. Lennox couldn’t help but admire the modern architecture and bustling streets below. As they settled into their room, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that this trip would be an unforgettable adventure for both of them.
As they settled into their room, Adrienne received a call from her Purple Cloud team they settled into their room. Lennox could hear the excitement in her voice as she discussed a new design with them. He watched as she scribbled something onto a piece of paper, her eyes shining with inspiration.
Lennox couldn’t resist her any longer. He walked up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her neck. "I’m proud of you," he whispered. "You’re amazing."
Adrienne turned around, her eyes sparkling. "I can’t compare to you and Gavin, but thank you."
As they drove through the bustling streets of Nanchuan, Lennox watched in awe as the city unfolded before him. The buildings were tall and sleek, their surfaces gleaming in the sunlight. The people hurried past, talking on their phones or carrying shopping bags filled with the latest fashion finds. It was so different from the old Nanchuan whose residents relied on fishing for a living.
When they arrived at the Purple Cloud store, Lennox was struck by the elegance and sophistication of the space. The shoes were displayed on sleek shelves; their colors and designs were vibrant and eye-catching.
Adrienne greeted the employees with a warm smile, her eyes darting around the store as she inspected everything with a critical eye while pretending to be one of the customers. She tried to ignore the shocked expressions of the customers once they recognized her companion as Lennox Qin. The more everyone spotted them together, the easier it would be to disclose their marriage in the future.
She noticed the meticulous arrangement of accessories and the carefully curated displays that showcased the brand’s signature style. The attentive staff, dressed impeccably in matching uniforms, moved gracefully among the customers, offering personalized assistance and expert advice.
The atmosphere exuded an air of sophistication and exclusivity, further enhancing the allure of the brand. It was clear that every detail had been thoughtfully considered to create a luxurious shopping experience for its clientele.
