Chapter 203: Chapter 203
So, attracted by this skin analysis device, a group of people who heard the news flooded into Aura’s headquarters crazily.
Summer Xavier quickly received a call from an employee, who sounded anxious. Summer asked, "What’s going on? Take your time to explain."
"President Xavier! All our products have been snatched up, there’s no stock left now!"
"Not only were they snatched up, but even several pre-sold items were also gone."
They had been told that the pre-sold items did not come with the skin analysis device, but that couldn’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm.
Sales hadn’t been good lately, and the company’s shareholders were all suggesting hiring a celebrity for advertising, but Paige Sterling stopped them, saying it wasn’t necessary to spend that money.
However, looking at the terrible sales figures, they all felt that Paige’s reputation probably wouldn’t work anymore.
After all, being great at developing high-tech doesn’t mean Paige is also great at skincare products. They were worried in their hearts, since they had invested a lot in Aura, hoping they wouldn’t end up losing everything.
Who would have thought that Paige really had foresight, telling them not to worry, and now there was finally no need to worry. The product caught fire, and they saved on advertising costs.
Soon enough, the new products at Aura’s flagship store were also sold out, and there was a chorus of wails online.
"Ahhhh, after using Aura’s acne cream, the acne that persistently covered my entire face since puberty actually disappeared! Aura’s products are amazing. As a fairy, I hereby solemnly declare: From now on, I will love no other than Aura!"
This ecstatic online user posted before-and-after photos and even brought out a medical diagnosis from the hospital. The doctor said her skin condition is now particularly good, and barring any accidents, those acne spots won’t grow back.
People who have never had acne can’t possibly understand this kind of excitement.
Initially buying Aura’s products was mainly for the skin analysis device researched by Paige Sterling, without much hope for the acne cream, but now the result seemed to give her a huge surprise.
She had used various big brands, which were obnoxiously expensive yet ineffective; however, Aura’s products are affordable and surprisingly effective.
When she saw that the acne on her face disappeared, she burst into tears.
With such a good product, of course, she had to spread the word so that more girls troubled by acne could rely on Aura’s products to escape the fear of being dominated by acne.
"Really, the effect is so good, and the price is only over a hundred, cheaper than many major brands, not to mention beauty salons, where a casual acne treatment costs thousands; even if the acne is gone, acne marks and pits remain. But with Aura’s products, you don’t need to worry about that at all; you just have to wait for the acne to disappear. It’s practically the world’s greatest divine product! Ladies who love beauty, get moving!"
"Today, I took a taxi from afar to buy it at the counter, but even the counter was out of stock. They said it was all snatched up, and I sadly went to grab pre-sales, but even those were gone. Boo hoo, is your internet connection bewitched to be that fast?"
Netizens were crazily tagging Aura’s official account, asking when the new products will be released.
"My God Sterling is becoming more and more formidable! Unknowingly discovering that my God Sterling is omnipotent!"
"As a former hater, I was once proud of dissing God Sterling, but now... please allow me to slap myself twice first."
"Am I the only one envious to death of the man chosen by our God Sterling? In his past life, he not only saved the galaxy, he saved all the heavenly Buddhas."
Meanwhile, Mr. Hawthorne, envied by the entire internet, was sulking at home, acting all careless because Paige Sterling doted on him.
When Paige got home, she saw him sitting on the sofa with a blank expression and asked, "Julian, what’s wrong?"
Julian said in a deep voice, "I’m injured."
Paige raised an eyebrow, looking Julian over, but didn’t see where he was hurt.
"Where are you hurt?"
Julian moved his leg, "My leg is injured."
Paige sat down, and Julian lifted his pants. Indeed, there was a red patch on his thigh. Paige asked, "How did you get injured? Does it hurt?"
Julian replied, "Scalded by hot water."
"How could you be so careless?"
"I was thinking about you, and I didn’t notice."
This Mr. Hawthorne is getting more and more flirtatious.
"Then why don’t you know to apply some medication?"
As Paige spoke, she went to get the medicine.
Julian was waiting for her to apply it for him, but Paige threw the medicine to him instead, "Apply it yourself."
Julian, "...You do it for me, I don’t have the strength."
Paige, "Why are you so pampered? Apply it yourself."
After Paige finished speaking, she went into the lab. Not long after, Julian hobbled in, looking a bit pitiful.
Paige asked, "Now what’s wrong?"
Julian looked at her, "What medicine did you give me just now?"
"Wasn’t it for the burn?"
Julian threw the medicine at her, "Take a look for yourself."
Paige took it and examined it. The packaging was correct, indeed for burns. However, after opening and smelling it, the scent was a bit pungent; this seemed to be... shoe polish.
Paige’s face instantly turned green. Sonny Chambers surely wouldn’t dare do something now, so it must have been Burt Chambers.
She asked Julian, "Did you apply it?"
Paige looked down and saw a big black patch on his thigh.
His face was equally as green. Making someone with OCD tolerate such a large patch of shoe polish wasn’t easy at all.
Paige said, "Let me get it off you first."
She was rarely gentle for once.
However, since Julian’s injury was a scald, neither washing it with water nor wiping it off dry worked well.
In any case, after finally getting it off, Julian was in so much pain his face turned pale.
Paige felt a twinge of heartache, "This is so close to ... do you think it might affect that...?"
Julian stared at her, "Are you doubting me?"
Paige said, "I’m just mentioning it. It’s always good to be cautious, right?"
Julian gave a soft snort, "Do you want to check it yourself to see if there’s something wrong with that area?"
She joked while Julian flirted.
Paige’s expression suddenly turned serious, and she inconspicuously rubbed her lower back, saying, "Mr. Hawthorne, I think we should sleep in separate rooms for a while."
Paige had a legitimate reason, "I think you need a good rest. I’m thinking of you, Mr. Hawthorne."
In all seriousness, thinking of him?
Julian looked at her skeptically, "Are you sure you’re thinking of me?"
Paige wouldn’t admit that she feared Julian might tire her out tonight.
"You should go to bed early. I’ll be..."
Paige was about to say she would sleep with Sonny but, considering Julian’s temper, she quickly said, "You sleep with Sonny instead."
Julian refused, "I won’t."
Paige said, "Then I will." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩
