Wedding Preparation
As Elena told Adrian, she would talk about Adrian's marriage with Avians and persuade Sarah to agree.
At first Sarah still refused and wanted Adrian to remove the Avians from his house before the media found out about the Avians. But after a long conversation, Sarah finally agreed to it, but she wanted her to organize everything at the wedding.
Starting from the wedding decorations, wedding dresses and even everything in the wedding. However, Adrian refused and said that he and Avians had already arranged everything.
"What? No way! Mom wants to organize everything. There will be a lot of our family acquaintances, mom's friends and other famous people coming! I don't want to have to bear the embarrassment if the wedding decorations aren't fancy, nice and amazing in everyone's eyes!" Sarah said.
"Avi has already decided on the theme. We want it to be themed like a fantasy world, purple and white," Adrian replied.
Although he didn't really understand fantasy worlds and such, that was what the Avians wanted. It would definitely be opposed by his mother, but he didn't care.
"This is my wedding with Avi, not your wedding. So I don't want mom to interfere too much in our wedding arrangements," Adrian said.
Hearing that, Sarah became very upset. She really wanted Adrian to get married, but to a woman of his choice. The daughter of her friend who was also a wealthy woman, not a poor woman who didn't even look attractive in the slightest.
"I don't understand why you would choose such an ugly girl. She doesn't even have a life, judging by her gloomy face. Heh, I'm sure she's also uneducated and even useless," Sarah said.
Hearing his future wife being demeaned by his mother, Adrian became very upset.
BRAK!
He reflexively hit the table in front of him, startling his mother and sister.
"A-Adrian!" called Elena in surprise.
"What the hell was that? You dare do that in front of me?!"
"You should be the one thinking, how dare you disparage your own future daughter-in-law! I don't care whether or not you'll agree to my marriage. I won't even care if you come or not," Adrian said and got up from his seat and walked away.
"Adrian! How dare you go against your mother's words!" Sarah exclaimed. "If you keep this up, I'll take you off the Foster family register!"
Adrian's steps stopped, he turned to his mother and said. "Just do it, the Foster family will lose a descendant and I'm sure after that TechNC will go bankrupt so you won't have a dime to spend on fun."
Regardless of Sarah's response, Adrian walked away. He was never afraid of his mother dropping him from the family tree, because he knew there would be no one to replace him as CEO of TechNC.
"Haa... Uhh!!!" annoyed Sarah slumped in her chair stomping her feet.
She was so annoyed when Adrian could always turn things around because he knew the company and even the family needed him. Even thanks to Adrian, TechNC could grow rapidly and become the largest company in their country.
"Mom... Never mind it. Let Ian choose his life choices. Okay?" Elena tried to calm her mother while rubbing her shoulders.
*****
One week before the wedding day, Avians felt so nervous. She couldn't believe the time had gone so fast. In a few days, she would be married to Adrian.
Even today, she was being measured for her nightgown. Two women used measuring instruments and wrapped them around Avians' waist and took notes.
"Well miss, what color would you like to choose? This color will go with the pajamas for Mr. Adrian as well," one of them said.
"Mnn... How about red? Or maybe... Black?" asked the Avians.
"You don't want purple? Isn't that your favorite color?" asked Adrian who was leaning against the door of Avians' room.
"But... You're going to wear it too, right? I was worried you wouldn't like it."
Adrian entered the room and said that he was okay with any color. He ordered three pairs of pajamas for the two of them. Avians said she wanted red or black to be included, so they made a note of it.
"Okay, we'll make sure before the wedding night your outfits are done," said the woman who measured Avians' body.
They both excused themselves as their work was done.
"Are you tired? You still have something more to do," Adrian asked.
"What is it?"
From behind the door, a ginger-haired woman appeared and waved happily.
"Hello~" she greeted the Avians.
"Oh Elena," said the woman when she saw her future husband sister coming.
"Today Elena will accompany you to buy makeup and go to the salon," Adrian explained.
Elena entered the room and immediately took Avians' hand. "Exactly, you need to learn how to use makeup and beautify yourself. Don't worry, I'll help you find the right makeup for you and teach you how to use it," Elena said.
"What? You don't mind it?" asked Avians.
"Of course not, I volunteered to take you. Come on Avi, it's girls time~" said Elena then turned to Adrian. "I borrowed your future wife first, my dear annoying brother."
She pulled Avians out of the room to go to the beauty shop in the luxury mall. The mall are really big.
"Welcome, how may I help you?" asked a female employee.
"Yes, I'd like to find the right make up for her," Elena replied.
The employee showed her some of the different types of makeup they had. Elena took a make up sample to try on Avians.
"What color lipstick do you like? Red, peach or pink?" asked Elena.
"Mn... I think pink? That color... Not too flashy," Avians replied.
Elena nodded in understanding and showed Avians some pink lipsticks. She also bought other make-up tools and paid for them. Finished with their make up, they went straight to the salon.
"I usually come here to get my hair done, this place is very good and reliable, you won't be disappointed if you come here," Elena said.
"Really? I've never been to a salon like this before," Avians replied looking around the salon which wasn't very crowded.
"Next time we can come together, after marriage you will be my sister-in-law, we can go out together later."
Elena introduced Avians to one of the workers at the salon. She wanted Avians hair to be cut a little and made to look good.
"Leave it to me, I'm sure she'll be very pretty."
The hairdresser began to tidy up Avians' hair, making it more beautiful and pretty.
She cut off her bangs so that her face could be seen clearly.
"See? You're very beautiful, miss. Just a little bit of an interesting haircut will make you look stunning," she praised.
They also put on the Avians make-up that they had bought earlier. She wasn't used to it, so she didn't protest much about what they were doing. It was Elena who finally stepped in to see whether or not her makeup was suitable for her sister-in-law.
After almost three hours of being in the salon, Avians was finally dressed.
"You can already open your eyes, Avi," said Elena while holding both of Avians' shoulders.
Avians slowly opened her eyes and looked into the mirror. Her blue eyes stared in disbelief at her own reflection.
"This is... Me?"
"Yes, it's you. I knew you were beautiful from the start, but you always covered your face. Wait until Ian sees you, he'll be mesmerized."
She touched her own face because it looked so different from usual.
'Is he... be mesmerized by me?'
