Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 806

Judging by the look on Dr. Perkins's face, Elaine could see that he was being serious.

She pursed her lips and said slowly, "Alright."

Howard was waiting for her explanation.

"I met someone who looked exactly the same as you the other day." Saying that, she studied his expression, but he didn't look surprised at all, so she asked, "Aren't you curious?"

Howard glanced at her, but said nothing. He only took out a pack of cigarettes and wanted to light one of them. But then, he asked, "May I?"

"Sure."

Lighting the cig, he took a long drag on it before signaling, "Go on."

"I thought that man was you and I let him in your house..." Elaine bit her lips and apologize, "I'm sorry. I'm quite dumb, ain't I? You two are so different, yet I couldn't tell that it wasn't you."

Hearing that, Howard asked, "So you've been staying with him for the past couple of days?"

Instinctively, she looked away from him.

Seeing her avoiding his gaze, Howard felt a wave of anger flared up in his heart. "D*mn it, what's that lunatic staying with you for?" "Dr. Perkins..." Elaine was a little frightened by his response.

"Sorry. Did I scare you?" Howard took a deep breath.

However, she shook her head.

"Did that man try to harm you?"

Mr. Bradbury was a patient at the psychiatric hospital, so naturally, Howard was worried about her.

"No." Staring at her own toes, she answered a while later.

Finally, Howard was relieved. "Thank goodness."

"Dr. Perkins, are you hungry now? I can make you something to eat." Just then, Elaine got up and went to the kitchen.

"Oh. I'm not hungry. Just go rest."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm not hungry. Go and take a nap. Later in the evening, I'll take you out for dinner."

"Oh."

Indeed, Elaine was very exhausted, so she headed to her bedroom. Before opening the door, she stopped and turned back to gaze at Howard, wanting to say something.

But eventually, she said nothing and went into her bedroom.

After Elaine entered her bedroom, Howard got up and went to the balcony.

With the breeze blowing onto his face, he smoked in silence.

The cigs were lighted one after another.

Later, having enough sleep, Elaine came out of her bedroom and saw Howard standing on the balcony.

"Dr. Perkins?"

She called out.

Quickly, Howard put off the cig in the ashtray. "Oh, hey. You've gotten enough sleep?"

"Yeah." Walking over, she noticed there were cigarette ashes on the floor and she wondered why he smoked so much.

"You must be hungry." Howard smiled. "I'm gonna wash up, and then well head out for dinner."

"Ah, that's gonna cost a lot. Why don't we get some groceries and cook at home-"

"Nah, let's just go out to eat," Howard insisted.

"Alright."

With a smile, Howard rubbed her head lightly.

Before going for dinner, Howard took Elaine to a shopping mall.

"What are we doing here?" Elaine was puzzled.

"To buy you some clothes."

"Why?"

"Because today is our first date, so I want you to dress up pretty." Howard cleared his throat. "So, do you wanna shop for clothes first, or have your make-up done first?"

"Uh..."

"Well, I think it's better to have your make-up done first. Then well buy you some clothes and perhaps have your hair done if we have time."

Quickly, Elaine refused, "No need, Dr. Perkins. It's just a regular meal. I don't wanna trouble you."

"Nah, there's no trouble." Without saying any further, Howard took her to a well- known cosmetics store and called the shop assistant, "Hey, could you put on some light makeup for her? Use the best products you've got."

The shop assistant smiled and said briskly, "Sure."

As long as the customers had the cosmetics used, they would have to buy them. So it seemed that she would have another big sale today.

Shortly, Elaine was surrounded by three shop

assistants.

On the other hand, Howard sat on the sofa and began to read a magazine.

"Dr. Perkins, can I not do the make-up..."

"No, just sit down and let them put on the make-up for you." Then, seeing her pitiful look, Howard asked amusingly, "Have you never used any cosmetics before?"

She shook her head.

"Enjoy it then." After that, he said to the shop assistants, "Give her a mirror to look at and tell her how to do the make-up, so she could learn to do it at home as well."

Hearing that, Elaine was speechless.

She didn't want to put on these things on her face.

However, the shop assistants were chuckling. "It seems that your boyfriend is really doting on you."

"Ah, he's not my boyfriend."

"Well, then he must be interested in you."

Elaine had nothing to say.

Eventually, she just kept quiet and sat there.

Despite that, the shop assistants were still quite chatty.

"Miss Jacob, your skin looks so good that you don't really need any concealer. You have little dark circles though, and this product will suit you very well."

"And this mascara. It will look good on you..."

"Miss Jacob, your nose is quite straight. You don't need much contouring. Oh, I'm getting jealous of you..."

"By the way, would you like any blush and lipstick on as well?"

"Miss Jacob, your eyeshadow doesn't have to be heavy because your eyes are so beautiful already..."

Hearing all that, Elaine was rather confused.

Somehow, she didn't understand everything they said.

So she simply remained silent and let them do their job.

Half an hour later, the makeover was finally done.

"Wow, you look gorgeous." A sales assistant cried out exaggeratedly.

"Yeah, you look stunning. You're even more goodlooking than most celebrities." This one was even more exaggerated.

"Haha, thanks. So is the make- up done? May I stand up now?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Sure, sure."

Elaine then turned around to look for Howard. "Dr. Perkins?"

Seeing her new look, Howard was stunned and stared at her fixedly with a smile.

Under his gaze, Elaine soon felt a little uncomfortable.

She cleared her throat. "Dr. Perkins, what's wrong?"

Howard put down the magazine and stood up, walking up to her. Then, he asked the sales assistant for a mirror. "Come and look at it yourself."

Following his sight, she was stunned at her reflection in the mirror as well.

She looked indeed... stunning.

Elaine didn't look like her usual self anymore.

Studying at her reflection in the mirror, she exclaimed in disbelief, "Wow, is this still me?"

After putting on the make- up, she looked so different now!

Meanwhile, Howard couldn't help chuckling when he saw her adorable reaction. "Let's get you a set of cosmetics so you can do your make-up more often."

Saying that, he asked the shop assistant to pack up all the cosmetics that she had used earlier.

Suddenly, a female voice behind them interrupted in surprise, "Howard?"

It was a plump woman with fair skin and fine make-up. She was dressed sexily. Her gaze was fixed on them.
