Chapter 54
The event "Zero Degree" was more relaxed and casual. The stylist only gave Diana Swift a lazy and natural curly hair, and the makeup was relatively light.
In terms of clothing, Diana Swift chose a cigarette pink sleeveless tube top one-piece culottes. The texture was smooth, which could well show her smooth shoulders and back lines and could also set off her body proportions very well.
When choosing a lip color, Diana Swift took out a large box of cosmetics she bought recently and discussed it with the stylist.
They had a slight disagreement. Diana Swift hesitated, so she held the box and asked Josh Hunter, "Which color do you think I paint better?"
Josh Hunter originally wanted to say, "It's all good", but when he looked at Diana Swift's expectant eyes, he did not change his face and lowered his eyes, and carefully selected in the box for a while.
Finally, he picked up a tube of rose-colored lip gloss, and carried out an in-depth analysis of the group's monthly summary from the tone, texture and occasion.
Diana Swift and the stylist were taken aback for a while.
After he finished speaking, Diana Swift hesitantly took the lip gloss from his hand, opened it and suddenly fell into silence.
"..."
"Well, your analysis is great, but this is a liquid blush."
The atmosphere was awkward for a while.
Fortunately, the stylist was very talkative, and he was busy teasing that straight men were so indistinguishable from cosmetics. Although it was blush, it was not easy to choose such a good-looking color.
Diana Swift did not disappoint Josh Hunter's serious analysis and chose a matte lipstick of the same color following the stylist's words.
The final upper lip effect was really good. It was very bright and suitable for today's makeup look.
But after such a dawdling and tangled back and forth, when they arrived at the event site, they had successfully staggered from the expired chicken soup of "Zero Degree" editor-in-chief Jamie Davis.
Diana Swift walked in with Josh Hunter in his arms, and asked casually, "How do you feel about the scene today?"
"It's very creative." Josh Hunter nodded, seeming to agree.
She couldn't help but whispered: "I am the room design consultant for this event, and I did the color matching and layout."
"Really?" Josh Hunter glanced at her and affirmed again, "Your recent works are very aura."
The corners of Diana Swift's lips were pulled up again.
Josh Hunter, this dog man was quite strange. Sometimes he was too straight to seem to have a row of steel nails in his bones, and sometimes he was really good at romance! Complimenting a designer for her aura was undoubtedly the highest compliment to her.
She was in a good mood, and went all the way to visit, and unconsciously came closer to Josh Hunter.
Josh Hunter calmly changed from hands intertwined to holding hands, and also told her about similar activities he had participated in when he was studying abroad in college.
Although Josh Hunter majored in management, it did not mean that he did not know how to appreciate art.
In fact, from the moment he walked into the scene, he recognized Diana Swift's design style.
Compliments were not against his heart. Compared with her inattentiveness when she did charity dinners before, the recent designs had been relatively complete and mature, and she also gave some small highlights with her own characteristics.
Moreover, her design style was highly compatible with herself. Whether it was home decoration, show, or exhibition-style creative design such as salons, she had her own delicacy that she insists on all the time, which was very recognizable.

From the perspective of others, they held hands, talked and laughed, which seemed to be very close. Someone noticed Diana Swift not far away, and soon they whispered in groups of three or two: "Hey, Diana Swift is here."
"Where?" The girl followed the voice and looked over, slightly surprised, "It's really her...she hasn't come out for a long time. I didn't know where she sat at ChrisChou's show last time, and I didn't see her attending the dinner later. I think she won't show up before the New Year."
Another girl asked curiously: "Who is the man next to her? He's so handsome, I've never seen him before. They are so close. Is him her new lover?"
Betty Miller happened to pass by with a small cake, and when she heard their whispers, she was finally able to smile proudly, and answered in a disdainful tone of "you really don't know anything": "You talk every day about whether Diana Swift and her husband will really divorce, and Diana Swift is nothing without her husband. Why don't you even know her husband?"
...?
Is this Diana Swift's husband?
The Hunter family's future successor?
Her husband was so young and so handsome?
Diana Swift was a person who even posted the ribs made by his husband and the movies that his husband watched with her to the Moments. Why was this kind of appearance never posted? It's so unreal!
Several people fell into a long silence and shocked hesitation.
In fact, you really couldn't blame them for their lack of knowledge. They were originally just wandering on the edge of the P City social circle. And Josh Hunter, an elite and practical faction at the top of the food chain in the younger generation, was fundamentally different from those prodigal sons who wander around every day. He had very few appearances, and there was not much chance for people to get to know him.
And a type like Josh Hunter who had taken the elite route since childhood, the gamers should not even remember the name, but he had a wife like Diana Swift who was the focus wherever she goes, which was why this happened - Everyone was very concerned about the development of the Hunter Group, and knew Josh Hunter's name, but it was an embarrassing situation that they could not match them.
Of course, many people knew him, and there were rumors about his appearance and personality outside, but if there was no picture and no truth, who knows if Diana Swift was bragging outside.
When they were silently surprised and stunned, Betty Miller was already finished speaking, and took the small cake to pose for the photo.
--Diana Swift finally came out with her husband to participate in the event, so she would not be so ignorant to join up to be a light bulb!
-
Betty Miller knew it, but Diana Swift's plastic little sisters in the past didn't.
Among Diana Swift's little plastic sisters, there were slightly more people who knew Josh Hunter than those who didn't. Seeing they attend a leisure activity like a magazine salon together, all the doubts caused by Diana Swift's delay in returning home were cleared up, and the little sisters came together to chat with Diana Swift.
Josh Hunter was still playing lottery with Diana Swift, but a gust of fragrant wind came around without warning, followed by all kinds of soft and elegant compliments.
He stood beside Diana Swift, his temples throbbing a little. In the face of the words thrown at him from time to time, he could only nod or simply respond with a "um", and also pay attention to maintaining a polite and safe distance with these little sisters who were "friends" with Diana Swift.
On the other hand, Diana Swift habitually handled it with ease, and Josh Hunter stood beside her, making himself look like a silent mascot.
After about five minutes, Diana Swift realized how out of place Josh Hunter was staying here. She sent Josh Hunter to help her get the cake, thinking that she would leave after chatting for another two minutes.
But as soon as Josh Hunter left, and one said timidly, "Diana, Mandy Lee seems to be here today."
The originally warm atmosphere instantly froze.
Mandy Lee was here?
It's so haunting.
Soon someone came back to their senses and stood on Diana Swift's side to help speak, "It's OK if she comes. Has she caught up with the sick man from the Taylor family recently, and got them to invest in movies for her? I don't know who the hell she is trying to oppose?"
"She's just jealous of Diana since in school. Who can't see that? She talks about film art all day, and she really can't change her petty temperament in her bones."
There was a girl who was Diana Swift's former classmate. She knew a little about the things that Mandy Lee had opposed to Diana Swift before, and she really didn't like Mandy Lee's style.
Everyone followed along with the words.
Diana Swift suddenly lost the mind to continue chatting with them.
She didn't know why, but she always had the illusion that the scene of the last reception was replayed - the same relaxed and casual theme, everyone also stood by her side to help her crusade against Mandy Lee, but in the end, she lost a lot in front of Mandy Lee.
She looked at the direction where Josh Hunter left, stunned for a while, and followed up without saying a word.
The group of people she left looked at each other, and tacitly follow from afar.
Everyone had different thoughts. Some wanted to see Mandy Lee's jokes, some wanted to see Diana Swift's jokes, and some just wanted to join in the fun.
What a coincidence, when Diana Swift followed up, Josh Hunter and Mandy Lee happened to meet each other.
Mandy Lee just took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and was slightly surprised to see Josh Hunter walking towards the dessert area.
The next second, out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Diana Swift not far away, and the group of boring ladies who were following Diana Swift several meters away. The hand holding the red wine glass tightened unconsciously.
It was difficult for her to describe what kind of mood she was in at this moment, knowing that Josh Hunter was attending with Diana Swift, and Josh Hunter had spoken clearly last time, but she was a little unwilling.
After so many years, Josh Hunter had countless reasons not to continue with her, which she could understand. But how could he live a lifetime with a woman like Diana Swift who had no thoughts, low taste, and innocent woman?
It was impossible for him to like Diana Swift at all, because Diana Swift was not worthy at all.
This feeling was too strong, which made her want to do something, even if it was some very low-level means that she disdained in normal times, as long as Diana Swift could understand that she and Josh Hunter should not be forcibly tied together.
She suddenly stopped the waiter, took another glass of wine from the tray, and then walked towards Josh Hunter and handed the glass forward, her voice as gentle and decent as always, "Josh, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't expect to be able to see you on this occasion."
Diana Swift stood five meters away, holding a small diamond-encrusted handbag, and her fingernails were turned white by the diamonds without any reaction.
Her mind was blank, and there seemed to be only one thought in her heart: please don't take it, even if it was polite, could you not be so polite this time? She didn't want to see her favorite person standing next to the person she hated the most in her life.
She was Mrs. Hunter and was very confident when facing others, but she was not good when facing Mandy Lee. Since Josh Hunter had never made a statement in front of Mandy Lee, she seemed to have no way to stand in front of Mandy Lee in her life, "Please stay away from my husband."
In fact, it was only ten seconds away from Josh Hunter's response, but Diana Swift felt that these ten seconds seemed to be as long as a documentary --
She saw that Josh Hunter looked down at the glass of red wine, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Mandy Lee.
His eyes should not be too warm, because the next second he regarded her as nothing, took a piece of cake from the dessert table, and turned around.
Then it met her gaze in midair.
The movements without detailed dismantling were so short that when Diana Swift looked at him, she could still see the indifference in his eyes.
Somehow, Diana Swift suddenly had the courage to step forward, took the cake from his hand, and said "thank you" softly.
Before Josh Hunter asked her what to thank, she passed Josh Hunter, took the glass of red wine in Mandy Lee's hand, and poured it down without a moment's hesitation.
The quality of the red wine provided on this occasion would not be very good. Those who knew wines could see it from the color and smell, but the wine fell on the ground pattering, and the sound was extraordinarily loud.
Diana Swift didn't care about the wet star stains on the culottes, and finally said the sentence that had been lingering in her mind countless times--
"Miss Lee, please stay away from my husband."
