In the makeup room.
Today, for the shoot, Summer Monroe, who usually doesn’t wear makeup, deliberately put on some base makeup, only to be told to remove it all now.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have applied any makeup in the first place, saving some time.
The makeup artist carefully helped Summer remove the makeup, but accidentally hurt her while pulling off the false eyelashes.
"Hiss—" Summer drew a sharp breath from the pain.
The makeup artist turned pale with fright and kept bowing and apologizing.
She had done makeup for many people, and such a mistake often resulted in a scolding, or worse, being fired on the spot by those with a worse temperament.
"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..." The makeup artist trembled with fear.
This was someone she was specifically instructed to take good care of, and offending her could mean losing future cooperation with the Knight Group.
However, in the next moment, a gentle voice rang out, "It’s okay, please continue."
The makeup artist was stunned for a moment and looked up to see Summer’s gentle smile—Summer was genuinely not angry.
Surprised, the makeup artist let out a sigh of relief, and her fondness for Summer increased greatly.
As she continued removing the makeup, she couldn’t help but speak up for Summer, "Miss Sadie, if I may say, I’ve worked with many brands under the Knight Group and have never heard of a requirement to appear bare-faced on camera. Miss Selina’s suggestion is likely targeted at you."
Summer wasn’t foolish; she naturally understood this, but she had confidence in herself.
She smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, but I’d rather go along with her."
The makeup artist thought to herself that Summer was really a little lamb, and with this kind of personality, she would surely face a lot of grievances today.
Soon, the makeup was all off.
The makeup artist, holding the cotton pad, looked in disbelief, exclaiming, "Miss Sadie, your skin... there’s no difference before and after makeup..."
In fact, without makeup, her skin appeared even more radiant, redder and more glossy than the finest blush, with makeup only hiding her natural complexion.
It was no exaggeration to say that Summer was the only girl she had seen whose bare face was so striking.
She finally understood why Summer didn’t object to Selina’s request to remove makeup because there was no need to object at all.
Summer gave a faint smile to the makeup artist and lifted her foot to walk out of the makeup room.
Outside the makeup room, Selina was waiting impatiently.
The damn ugly girl, why isn’t she out yet?
Is she too ugly without makeup, so she’s ashamed to come out?
It must be that!
Just as Selina’s thoughts were falling into place, she saw the makeup room door open.
She immediately looked over with excitement, the ridicule in her eyes appearing before she even saw Summer.
However, in the next instant, when she saw Summer’s face, her eyes suddenly widened in shock.
This was a girl favored by the heavens, with a fair and rosy complexion, a high nose bridge making her features more pronounced, and a pair of lively, deep eyes that seemed to speak. Her figure was worthy of the phrase "a beauty of exceptional grace," every step revealing elegance, as if she treads on lilies.
Without saying anything else, just with this face, she could live a life without worry.
How... could this be?
Wasn’t she supposed to be an ugly monster whose looks would be dead on sight without makeup?
How could she be so beautiful without makeup?!!
Selina was so shocked that she dropped her phone with a loud "thud" on the ground.
Shaken by shock and anger, Selina’s body trembled all over.
She had been waiting outside eagerly for so long, and this was not what she expected to see!
Selina was furious.
Summer looked at Selina’s reaction, a slight smirk appeared at the corner of her mouth, but her smile quickly faded. She bent down to pick up Selina’s phone and said, "Miss Selina, why didn’t you hold onto your phone properly?"
