Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 190 Tired but Happy

I spun around, instantly freezing at the sound of that familiar voice. Striding towards me in a baseball jacket and cap, holding a bat, was none other than Faris.

Two guys in suits trailed behind him, one of them being the assistant I'd talked to earlier. Someone in the crowd called him Mr. Melville, while a few women squealed "Faris" like they were with girlish fantasies.

He walked right up to me, gave a faint smile as I stood there, totally stunned, and then glanced at the crowd.

"Showing up to a beauty promo without makeup? That takes guts. It shows you really believe in your products and techniques. Traditional treatments are natural and healthy, no makeup tricks needed. If it's safe for pregnant women, it's definitely healthy." Faris just elevated medical beauty to a whole new level, and the crowd burst into applause.

The woman who had been giving me a hard time earlier now looked super embarrassed.

After the applause died down, she walked towards Faris. "Faris, I..."

"Stop." Faris raised his bat, pointing it at her, stopping her in her tracks.

Ignoring her blushing and awkwardness, he suddenly turned his head towards me.

"Do you take male clients?"

"Of course," I said, swallowing nervously.

"Mr. Melville is already so handsome and charming. Do you still need beauty treatments?" someone joked.

Faris licked his lips, showing just the tip of his tongue, and smiled faintly. "I've signed up for three hundred sessions, which will be given as year-end bonuses to the top employees."

Gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.

"Mr. Melville is already planning year-end bonuses before the year's even halfway over. The employees at the club are really lucky; this is an awesome perk."

Faris casually put one hand in his pocket and swung the bat with the other, smiling like it was no big deal.

"Everyone's used to all kinds of gifts, so let's mix it up. Who doesn't love beauty? Giving health and beauty together is pretty meaningful."

Someone clapped in agreement. "That's a great idea. I want to follow your lead and give each of my employees a registration too."

With Faris leading the charge, everyone followed, and I felt overwhelmed. My tiny shop seemed way too small. But I couldn't turn away business, so I decided to roll with it and figure it out later.

The woman who had been against me earlier stood there fuming. I later found out she was in the same beauty business, and my success was a threat to her.

As the party started winding down, Wren noticed I knew Faris and didn't wait for me. I sat at a table, sorting through client registrations. The big spenders were generous, opting for gold cards, and some even upgraded to diamond. Personal transactions were settled on the spot, while corporate funds would be transferred tomorrow.

I calculated nearly $2.5 million in total. It felt like a dream.

Faris placed a glass of milk in front of me and sat down, looking at me with interest.
