Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 431: A Transformative Change

Aurora brought Heather and Ian to a shopping mall, leaving both of them puzzled.

"Boss, why did you bring us to a place like this?" Heather asked hesitantly.

"To give you both a makeover, of course," Aurora replied matter-of-factly. "From today onward, you are my right-hand people. When you go out to close deals, do you think anyone will take you seriously dressed like this? I know you're both practical people, but remember this-you're going to deal with influential individuals. Your attire is your first impression, and it represents not just you, but our company. Starting today, you need to undergo a complete transformation."

Heather and Ian exchanged uncertain glances. Coming from modest backgrounds, they were dressed in simple, inexpensive clothes. Aurora's sharp eyes instantly took note of their lack of polish.

Aurora wasn't wrong. In this society, appearances mattered-a lot. If you wanted to succeed, you had to look the part.

"Let's go inside." Aurora led them into the mall.

She first arranged for both of them to have new hairstyles. Ian, a young man, had been sporting a haircut more suited to someone twice his age. The stylist gave him a fresh, clean-cut look, removing his messy, overgrown hair and swapping his thick, outdated black-rimmed glasses for contact lenses.

When Ian reappeared, Aurora paused, momentarily stunned. The previously unkempt man was now surprisingly handsome.

The stylist had trimmed away Ian's disheveled, unruly hair and replaced it with a sleek, modern style featuring bangs. Without his glasses, his sharp features were no longer hidden. It was clear that Ian's past lack of grooming had masked his good looks.

If Gemma had seen him like this earlier, how could she have rejected him? After all, this was a society that judged people by their appearance.

"Boss, do I look strange like this?" Ian asked nervously, feeling the unfamiliar lightness on his head.

"No, you look great," Aurora reassured him, pushing him in front of a mirror. "Take a good look. This is the real you. Stop hiding."

Meanwhile, Heather was also getting a makeover. Her long, dark hair was trimmed into a sleek, professional short cut. Compared to the timid girl who used to invite trouble, Heather now exuded confidence.
