(Chapter 77) Sincerity

Astrid sat down next to the table which was set with breakfast, she started to eat slowly while Lewis mainly watched her with glee in his eyes.

He had sent the maid to give some clothing to her in the morning. Unknown to her, the suit was actually one of his. One he wore only in private occasions.

Astrid had no idea. Astrid just wore the suit and felt it was a little big for her, but didn't say anything. She didn't expect Lewis to have anything for her to wear anyway. And just guessed he bought something around her size.

"So will you be needing me today as well?" Lewis asked with mirth. He was clearly in a good mood.

Astrid glanced up and finished her meal. "No, I'll be going back today." Astrid then pulled out her phone.

Lewis smiled slyly. "Right... You still need my jet though right? At least I don't have much to do today."

Astrid shrugged her shoulders. She did need his jet, but knew that he wouldn't say no to her words now...

That's what she thought. While Lewis tapped on the table and finished his 'meal'.

The maid took away the bowls of cereal. She honestly could never have believed that such rich people would also eat cereal so casually... But the mystery man ate almost double what her master did... She was quite miffed.

"I guess you should repay me for yesterday no? I have a plan for today." Lewis then took out his phone and sent a message to someone...

Astrid looked at Lewis with a blank face. While the maids in the room all blushed. As their minds went to the gutter. With their master's teasing tone, how couldn't they?

They all now felt a little differently of the two men sitting in front of them. As they secretly judged them by looks and physique, on the top... Or the bottom...

"Okay, since you listened to me yesterday, I guess this will be fair payment. But don't take too long, I want to go home by tonight." The maids all then quietly left the room, their thoughts were showing on their faces...

Lewis nodded with a smile. "That's fine." He knew the reason quite well. It seemed Astrid was extremely close to her baby sister... Not that he was arguing against it though.

He was a little upset when he was called an uncle, wanting to correct the child he almost blurted 'brother-in-law' before. He might have been skinned alive if he did.

But he also felt lifted by younger siblings, he had always been on the side of his cousin since young. He felt that without him, he might have turned into a robot without feelings.

With that thought in mind, he looked at Astrid's eyes. He couldn't tell the emotion of her behind the face mask. He only wished to break down the mask in front of him and expose the real person in front of him.

But he couldn't do that, it would require time. Care, nurturing. He would need to go slowly for that... "What is it?" Astrid asked dryly, Lewis had been looking at her for a while now. And honestly, it made her upset.

Lewis shook his head. "Nothing." She played it off. As Astrid's eyes sharpened behind the lenses.

.......

"Come in my friend! If I knew you were here. I would have prepared something in advance!" Astrid was brought into a designer's store. Maybe more accurately described as 'dragged' but oh well...

"Fantine, this is the person I spoke to you about." Lewis gave a small hug to the woman who seemed quite excitable.

Astrid blinked. Lewis hugging another woman? Was this someone close to him? A girlfriend?

"Oooh, what is this? A suit? No, no, no. Come with me pumpkin." Fantine seemed visibly displeased with what she was looking at. Especially after what Lewis had told her.

Astrid blinked again. And before she knew it, she was being dragged inside the store's VVIP section. And being stripped down by the woman...

Lewis calmly sat down at the side. He was very certain that Fantine was into males. She and he were close friends for a while. And she never showed any sexual desire toward him. And neither him.

"Wow. I guess Lewis was telling the truth." Fantine mumbled. She didn't believe the 'man' was the 'woman' the Lewis had been talking about for years now. She had been forced by him to keep an eye out for such a woman. But now she was amazed to see her in front of her very eyes.

As a designer. Fantine was very passionate, she went outside of the changing rooms multiple times, picking up various dresses and other items.

The other staff members also participated, they had never seen such a beautiful woman before! They completely ignored Lewis and started to pamper Astrid to high heaven...

Astrid was baffled, this was the first time she had experienced something like this. Was she really that good-looking? Sure she could attract men and females alike and had used it to her advantage before. But was it so groundbreaking to make 5 people continuously praise her beauty?

Meanwhile, Lewis was sitting outside with a smile on his face. Step one of his plan was in motion. As he waited for the results to come out...

.......

"Why don't you flaunt yourself pumpkin hmm? Look your body you were gifted with? Gosh, I'm so jealous." Fantine humphed in jealousy, as she eyed Astrid's natural body...

Astrid didn't reply, just looking at herself in the mirror. She was quite surprised. She had been forced to take off her facial mask by Lewis before entering the store. So the workers had her natural face...

But she didn't take her contacts out. That was when Lewis learned that Astrid needed glasses, and the contacts weren't just to change her eye color...

That was what Astrid made him think anyway. So Fantine both choreographed her clothing and also did some makeup for her. She was skilled at both fashion and makeup.

"See? Aren't you just a killer? I hope by looking at you I won't be made gay... Anyways, let's go see Lewis Pumpkin." Fantine had started to drag out Astrid. Who had never reacted to anything done to her.

Fantine felt that Astrid was like a doll when she was dressing her in and out of various clothes. She was emotionless as she easily undressed herself even naked. Fantine was honestly stunned. She had never seen a female not even be slightly embarrassed when she asked them to change their underwear to be matching the outfit. She would obviously give them space and time. But Astrid was the first customer to so easily start to undress herself.

Of course, Fantine ran out quickly. She remembered that Lewis might burn down her shop if she saw anything. Although it wasn't her fault...

Lewis then saw the approaching Fantine, who was dragging a fully dressed up. And fully beautified up Astrid.

'Shit, this was a bad idea.' He couldn't help but immediately think. Astrid was dressed in an off-the-shoulder purple sleeveless dress. It was laces with various gems, making her upper chest shine. While it also showed off her curves, making Lewis accidentally let his eyes roam free more than once...

"Alright! Pumpkin, make sure to use all the tips I gave you earlier. Remember, flaunt yourself." Fantine gave a wink to Astrid as she lightly pushed her to Lewis.

Lewis glared at Fantine, while she returned a smug smile. As she ran off to another customer in the distance.

Lewis sighed. As he then casually took Astrid's hand and started to walk. "Well, since you didn't eat much last night, I decided to book a meal for us. Take it as a token for my sincerity." Lewis spoke calmly as he walked outside to the VIP parking spots.

Astrid looked down to the hand that was holding hers and then back in front of her. She first was quite happy that she would be getting a free meal. She honestly was extremely disappointed by the food offered at the banquet, while Lewis offered some more food. But also offered something she detested, fish.

"Sincerity? What do you mean?" Astrid then asked the point that made her slightly upset. Why was she forced to dress up like this and hold his hand? Was this him being sincere?

Lewis then opened the door to a black Bugatti for her. She got in and he went into the drivers seat. "Well... I did say I wanted to fall in love with you. I'm serious about that, so I'm showing you how sincere I am in that." Lewis explained as he started up the car.

Astrid now understood. Lewis was wearing a purple suit of his own today. It was one of the most expensive wears in his collection. Now she knew why...
