My Stand-In Groom Is A Secret Tycoon by Lydia Pierce

Chapter 271

At six, Alistair said he would come to pick her up, so Audrey didn't work overtime. But when she had everything packed and went downstairs, Alistair still hadn't arrived. She thought, 'He is actually late. That never happened before!'

Audrey glanced at her watch; fifteen minutes had already passed since their agreed time. She thought, 'Is something wrong?'

Just as Audrey was letting her imagination run wild, a familiar black SUV pulled up in front of her. The car door opened, and Alistair, dressed in a white shirt, stepped out.

Whether it was just her imagination or not, Audrey felt like Alistair looked even more handsome today than usual.

The man got out of the car, his back to the light, wearing a sleek, tailored white shirt and well-fitted trousers that hugged his strong legs. Tall and lean, he had an air of elegance and sophistication.

After looking closer, she noticed that not only was his hair meticulously styled, but he also wore the silver-rimmed glasses he usually kept stored away, which concealed his sharp eyes. His outfit was carefully chosen, complete with some expensive cufflinks. Audrey thought, 'Isn't that a bit too formal?' Audrey blinked in surprise and asked softly, "Why are you dressed so formally? Don't tell me you hired a stylist just for this dinner?"

When they parted ways this morning, he wasn't dressed like this. Alistair raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, blinking somewhat awkwardly.

The driver nearby couldn't help but let out a low chuckle. The driver thought, 'Not only did Mr. Hayes style his hair, but he also spent a long time choosing his clothes.'

He not only chose a white shirt that fits well, but even his cologne is quite special.
