Found Obsession

Chapter 81: Auction and meeting her father

Rose sat with Patricia, explaining in detail what she needed to do.

The entire team was elated, celebrating their success in securing Rose Hansley—currently ranked as the second most gorgeous woman in the world.

This initial session was focused on a contest aimed at boosting sales of luxurious jewelry.

Patricia, in her usual playful manner, couldn't stop commenting on Rose's stunning figure, especially her chest, causing Rose to blush deeply.

As part of the makeover, Patricia gave Rose a haircut, removing the remnants of her previous blue-dyed streaks. Her hair was pampered with premium conditioners and treatments, leaving it soft, silky, and luminous. The transformation accentuated her long, flowing locks, which now cascaded gracefully below her chest.

After that, Rose moved into several outfits, showcasing everything from bracelets to necklaces and earrings.

For a particularly expensive necklace, Patricia insisted Rose show a bit more cleavage, claiming it would appeal strongly to both women and men. "This piece will sell like hotcakes," she said confidently.

While Rose prepared for her next round of makeup and wardrobe changes, Raven, who had come along with her, sat silently nearby, watching her with a quiet, attentive gaze.

"You don't have to stay," Rose told him once again, giving him a soft smile.

He returned the smile. "I'm your doctor, remember?" She smiled back, unable to argue.

Patricia, ever observant, suddenly grinned. "You know, a lot of people in the public are crazy about the two of you together. Would you mind stepping in for a few shots? Be our male model?" she asked Raven.

Raven was about to refuse, but Patricia raised a finger, cutting him off. "Nothing's free, and I never ask for favors without offering something in return," she said, scribbling a number on a piece of paper and handing it to him.

Raven went silent as he unfolded the note. His eyes widened, and Rose couldn't help laughing at his expression.

"I could pay off my debts with Rose and even buy myself a small car with this," he said in awe, holding the paper like it was a golden ticket.

Rose rolled her eyes. "You don't owe me anything," she reminded him firmly.

Patricia smirked, snapping her fingers. "Actually, Rose is going to win four times that—even after deducting what your fleeing ex owes me and due to the favor she owes me," she added, her tone sharp.

Raven swallowed hard at the mention of his ex. Rose was about to step in to defend him, but Raven looked up, smiling.

"What do I have to do?" he asked, his voice steady.

Rose found herself laughing more than she had in weeks as Raven was dragged into his own spa treatment. He endured a haircut, lotions, perfumes, and the works.

"Ouch!" she heard him yelp at one point, and that set her into a fit of laughter.

Patricia, spotting the genuine moment of joy, quickly signaled her cameraman to snap a few behind-the-scenes shots.

The shoot soon included a few staged moments with both Rose and Raven. One particularly striking shot involved Raven kneeling and holding out a luxurious, diamond-studded ring. The piece was stunning, but Raven's nervous glances at Rose's radiant smile gave the moment an authentic charm. He swallowed a few times, clearly feeling the weight of the scene.

"Okay, Rose, tilt your head up," Patricia instructed during the next setup. "Let the necklace catch the light. Raven, hug her from behind."

Raven hesitated but stepped forward. Rose felt the warmth of his embrace as Patricia adjusted his hands on her corset. The movement pressed her ribcage snugly against the fabric, and for a fleeting second, she could swear she heard Raven's heartbeat pounding against her back.
