Chapter 18 Tongue-tied
Tinsley was stunned because she didn't think about it, and so she couldn't help stuttering, "But that…"
"Yeah, so what if you're known as a White Tigress who goes around in a mask?" Rory rolled her eyes
because she knows that what Tinsley wanted to say was that she is a masked author so president
Jarek won't care that she appears in a mask.
"Getting to know your identity is damn easy for someone like president Jarek so why would you need to
go over in a mask when he's meeting you barefaced."
Even though Rory's explanation sounds crazy, it doesn't sound like that in Tinsley's ears as she fell
deep into thoughts while musing on Rory's words.
Seeing that Tinsley had begun to buy her words, Rory became enthusiastic, "You're known to be
anonymous but if you showed your face to President Jarek, he'd have the thoughts that you respect
him and you're eager for the collaboration which will put you and your book in good hands." Rory
explained which made Tinsley fall deep into thought.
Rory knows Tinsley is always brilliant but whenever it comes to something like her baby father or
president Jarek, all the brilliance will dissolve into thin air and she'd be left with a confused lady.
Tinsley's heart began to pound fearfully and she couldn't help thinking about Jarek, "But what if he
decided not to partner with me because of my scandal." Tinskey said talking about the scandal with
Lilllee and Conrad.
"You're being hilarious." Rory rolled her eyes. "Did you think someone like president Jarek would care
for rumors like that? Do you think President Jarek would care for something hilarious like that in the
presence of profit? No! He wouldn't." Rory continued which made Tinsley nod in relief.
Tinsley's eyes lit up when Rory explained everything to her, "So I should…"
Rory interrupted before Tinsley could finish her words. "Just leave it to me. I will solve everything." Rory
said and patted Tinsley's cheeks with a smile.
She pushed Tinsley toward the massive bathroom with a fawning smile. "So I have prepared some staff
who will help to bring your skin back to life…"
Tinsley gasped in disbelief, "Already? What if I didn't agree?" She asked.
"Well. I'll force you." Rory stated nonchalantly. She poked her head and called the staff who were
waiting.
"Hey, you all can come in." Rory waved to the staff who will help prepare Tinsley up.

By the time Rory and her staff were done, Tinsley's face and skin were glowing so bright, her cheeks
were rosy, her hair had also been dyed chestnut brown and straightened. The long hair fell to her back.
"Nice job, guys." Rory clapped excitedly upon seeing Tinsley's face. She beckoned Tinsley forward,
"So we need that minimal makeup and dressing up." Rory said excitedly.
Tinsley rolled her eyes but still let Rory do all she wanted because she was also enjoying the skin
treatment.
But deep down, Tinsley's heart was also pounding in anticipation and she couldn't help thinking if
President Jarek would remember her or not.
___
It was 1:22 pm when Tinsley was all dressed for the meeting with Jarek.
The drive to the 5-star restaurant where the meeting was arranged will take her 15 minutes without
traffic so she decides to leave immediately.
Tinsley was dressed in a pink off-shoulder one-piece gown and black heels to go along with it.
Tinsley was about to step out of the room when Rory stopped her while holding an expensive camera
in hand. "Wait, let me take some pictures of my model before you walk out of this room. This will be a
keepsake…" until President Jarek is here for you and the Triplets. Rory finalized inwardly.
And with that Tinsley began to pose for the pictures, Rory was so excited by Tinsley's beauty that she
kept on snapping until Tinsley decided to escape the room at 1:33 pm.
"Even though a beautiful woman should leave her stroke on a handsome man. A beautiful woman
who's not punctual would send a man leaving in annoyance." Tinsley muttered with a snort and began
to leave the room with Rory leaving behind her dejectedly. But her eyes were shining with excitement
due to the picture she had taken.
Tinsley stepped out of the room looking like a goddess.
"Babies." She called wanting to tell the Triplets goodbye, but she was stunned when she saw the kids
looking at her without placing their eyes away from them.
"Mom is beautiful." Mason and Ariel said absentmindedly. The two quickly ran toward her and hugged
her legs happily, which made her bend to their level. She immediately pulled them into a hug.
Jason also ran toward Tinsley and kissed her cheeks in excitement. "Mom is beautiful." He uttered
happily.
"Of course, she is," Rory replied proudly. At this minute she couldn't help blaming herself for not being
a man. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Mason's eyes were shining as he stared at his beautiful mom, who keeps getting more beautiful every
day. "Mom, where are you going?" Mason asked happily. "Can you bring me along?" He asked.
Before Tinsley could reply, Rory shook her head fiercely, "No. Your mom is going to a meeting, she
can't bring you along." She stated
"Is my mummy meeting that cool man of yesterday?" Ariel's eyes lit up with infatuation and Mason
nodded excitedly except Jason, who had a big frown on his face when he remembered Jarek.
Tinsley became tongue-tied, but before she could answer, Rory asked curiously. "Which man did you
meet with yesterday?"
Before Tinsley could reply, an unhappy Jason spat out, "Jarek."
Rory's eyes widened in disbelief. "You have met with President Jarek already?"
