Chapter 1426
Vermont had already contacted all the prominent stylists Leighton knew by name, yet none were available.
Just as Leighton brainstormed new suggestions, Estelle said, "What about Nicole's stylist, Mia Lopez?"
"I'm not asking her!" Leighton instinctively responded at the mention of Nicole.
Keegan's brow twitched, "Your cousin needs your help. Stop acting like a child."
Leighton clenched his teeth, "I'm not..."
"Do you know anyone else?"
Leighton fell silent.
Keegan then decided to appeal to his emotions. "Stella's your only cousin, you know. And she's treated you so well.
Remember how she cooked fish stew for you? I didn't even get a taste. Can't you put aside your feelings about

Leighton could not believe Keegan would say such things." Fine, I'll ask. But I can't guarantee if she'll approve of it."
"Find a way to convince her if that happens. I'll have someone fix the bugs in your games once everything is
settled."
Upon hearing that, Leighton finally agreed.
After hanging up the phone, he could not help but scold Estelle for meddling, "If you eavesdrop on my calls again,
I'll fire you!"
With your temper, no one would dare take on this job after I'm gone,' thought Estelle.
Leighton hesitantly knocked on Nicole's dressing room door and let himself in. Nicole was lying on a lounge chair
with a script covering her face, napping.
Leighton stood beside her and said, "I want to borrow Mia."
Nicole paused and reached out to remove the script from her face. "What did you say?" she asked.
Leighton clenched his teeth. "I said, I want Mia to do my friend's makeup tomorrow. Can you ask her to do it? I'll pay
her for her work."
"Why don't you ask Mia yourself?" Nicole responded in disdain.
"Isn't she your exclusive stylist? She wouldn't dare take on the job without your approval."
"Are you asking me for a favor?" Nicole questioned.
In order to help Stella out, Leighton changed his tone and said, "Yes."
"If you're asking for a favor, at least act like it. What kind of attitude is this?" Nicole paused before continuing,
"You're too tall. Crouch down a bit so that I don't have to tilt my
head up to look at you."
Leighton's eye twitched. 'I've never met such an annoying woman!' He wanted to give Nicole a piece of his mind,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut for the sake of Stella's grand appearance tomorrow, he tried to tolerate Nicole's wishes.
Leighton was at eye level with Nicole after crouching down.
When Nicole saw him squatting beside her, she could not help but reach out and ruffle his hair. "Aw. You look like a
little puppy. Come on. Show me a fierce look."
Leighton glared at her.
Nicole clicked her tongue and said, "Fiercer."
She turned over in her chair, intending to tease him some more. However, the chair was unstable, causing her to
fall in Leighton's direction.
The man did not have time to react and was struck to the ground. The two ended up in a very awkward position,
with Nicole on top and Leighton beneath.
Leighton was wincing in pain as he hit the back of his head.
Seeing him under her, Nicole could not help but tease. "If you want Mia's help, maybe you can do something to
amuse me. I might just agree if I'm happy."
Leighton stared at the woman who was mischievously grinning on top of him and had an idea. He suddenly grabbed
the back of her head and kissed her.
