Chapter 93:
Styling male stars, though less complex than styling female stars, still demanded meticulous attention to detail.
Kaiden appeared while Ellie was choosing the actor’s accessories.
“Mr. Thorpe, what brings you here?” The Planning Department’s manager, taken aback by Kaiden’s arrival, greeted him promptly. Others, unfamiliar with the CEO’s identity, observed Kaiden discreetly. His attire and presence immediately signaled his importance.
Ellie, peripherally aware of Kaiden’s entrance, noticed his wheelchair. His commanding aura was unmistakable, drawing attention despite his disability. No one would have associated him with the disabled Kaiden Thorpe.
What was he doing here?
A hush fell over the room.
Ellie, without lingering on his presence, focused on completing the actor’s styling. Among them, she remained composed, continuing her work unperturbed.
“Just looking around,” Kaiden said, his eyes fixed on Ellie, his jaw clenched.
The manager stayed silent, aware of Kaiden’s valuable time. Was this visit merely casual? Why would he concern himself with something so small?
“That woman seems new,” Bruce remarked, subtly indicating Ellie. Upon hearing Bruce’s comment, Ellie couldn’t help but roll her eyes internally. New? Really p>
“She’s our seasonal collaboration stylist, exceptionally talented,” the manager replied with respect. “Would you like me to introduce her p>
Kaiden remained silent, leaving Bruce uncertain of his intentions.
The manager, anxious, sought guidance from Bruce with a pleading look.
Bruce, peering at the floor, felt clueless.
Kaiden’s gaze lingered on Ellie’s back for a long moment.
Ellie, seemingly unaware of his presence, carried on with her work as if she didn’t recognize him or notice he was there. Her poised figure radiated confidence and determination.
She seemed almost like a petulant child, silently hoping for someone’s coaxmg.

Coaxing her? No way! Kaiden wasn’t going to go along with such a ridiculous act, so he wheeled away.
Bruce, with a silent sigh, hurried after him.
Once they left, the styling room buzzed back to life with chatter.
“Who was that guy? Incredibly handsome, even if he’s in a wheelchair p>
“Handsome regardless of the wheelchair. Did you notice his watch? A Rolex, probably worth millions p>
“The manager’s deference to him… he’s definitely someone important. But his exact status is a mystery p>
“Ellie’s got remarkable composure. She didn’t flinch the entire time p>
Ellie slowly straightened up, casting a fleeting glance in the direction where Kaiden had gone.
Kaiden’s purpose there baffled her. Was it merely a routine inspection of his domain?
Yet, she felt the intensity of his stare. She half-expected him to summon her, to make things challenging, but he had simply left.
