Hiding Behind Her Superficiality

Chapter 79

“What’s the problem? Does my crush have anything to do with our collaboration?” Elspeth asked.

Yelena was taken aback because she had not expected anyone to refuse to answer her question.

Grimacing, she stated, “Of course it does! Don’t bother asking why. Just tell me!”

“Why don’t you tell me who you’re interested in?”

Yelena flushed when she heard that.

How did she find out about it?

When the manager beside her heard that, she quickly grabbed Yelena’s arm and warned her not to talk too much. “Yelena doesn’t have a crush on anyone.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

You’ve got to be kidding me! There are so many male fans watching. If Yelena’s hidden love scandal becomes public, it will harm her reputation.

“Okay. I’m not going to ask anymore because you don’t have one.”

Elspeth chuckled and quickly skirted the subject.

Since the key characters were present, Yelena and Elspeth began doing their makeup.

Yelena did not pipe down. She was unhappy that the makeup artist did not showcase her beauty while applying makeup. At that point, she revved up her arrogance.

“This will make my eyes appear smaller! Also, what are those sequins? My face looks terrible. Are you certain you want this job? You should resign from your job if you can’t do makeup for me properly! I’ve

never met a more incapable artist than you!”

Elspeth frowned when she heard those words. She couldn’t help but take a step forward to have a look.

The moment she took a closer look, she knew that Yelena’s makeup looked nice, but something was wrong.

Yelena, who had worked in the entertainment industry for a long time, could identify the difference in makeup quality.

“Please don’t blame me, Miss Sullivan. I tried my best with this makeup look…”

The artist was depressed. She tried her hardest but for some inexplicable reason, she could not perform well.

Elspeth then touched the artist on the shoulder. “It’s alright. Just leave this to me. You may take a short break.”

“Mr. Winthrop, I had no idea that a respected company like the Winthrop Group can’t even recruit a talented. artist. What a farce!”

Yelena spoke plainly while cockily crossing her arms.

“Miss Sullivan, don’t be so quick to pass judgment. Is it okay if I give it a go?”

At that, Yelena glanced at Elspeth with disgust. “You? Are you certain you can pull it off? Ordinary makeup artists do not appeal to me.”

“You’ll never know unless I try. Please have a seat; I’ll take care of it right now.”

People around Elspeth assumed she was only attempting to appease Yelena until she used a makeup remover to clean Yelena’s face before delicately applying a moisturizer.

“Are you certain you can pull it off?”

Without makeup, Yelena’s face was as smooth as silk. She was fair and attractive.

“Of course,” Elspeth murmured as she gently massaged Yelena’s skin. “Your face is adorable, so a small application of foundation should suffice. You also don’t need to use a lot of concealers.”

Yelena grunted in response.

Her makeup artists usually wanted her to look fairer, much like a porcelain doll with a warped beauty.

“The sequins will make you look vulgar, so I’ll substitute a feather in the corners of your eyes. Then I’ll cover it with a layer of gold powder.”

Elspeth did all those while she was explaining things. She quickly applied Yelena’s makeup with quick gestures.

Even the makeup artists’ eyes opened in awe after the final touch.

They had never seen Yelena looking like this before. She had always been referred to as Human Barbie. This was the first time she displayed her ethereal beauty.

Yelena stared at herself in the mirror. Her mouth hung open slightly and she was at a loss for words.

“You are incredible!”

The little girl unconsciously spoke the truth.

“Do you like it?”

Elspeth placed a golden headband on Yelena’s head. “Don’t you feel like a goddess now?”

“I have the appearance of an angel. Elspeth, I didn’t expect you to be that talented with makeup!”

Yelena blushed as she remembered initially doubting Elspeth’s abilities.

“I’m very sorry. I was skeptical about your abilities…”

“It’s fine,” Elspeth said with a chuckle. “All that matters is that you like it.”

A gleam flashed through Yelena’s eyes and she had a brilliant idea. “Why don’t you become my full- time makeup artist? We can talk about your pay. Your annual salary in the Winthrop Group may be hundreds of thousands, but I will pay you a million. How does that sound?”

On the other hand, Elspeth felt that Yelena was cute and young, despite having a sharp tongue. “Can you afford that, girl?”

“Without a doubt. Despite my lack of popularity, I can manage to pay this tiny sum.”

Elspeth laughed when she heard this. “Alright, let’s not get into that right now. I’ll put on some makeup and we’ll talk about it after the commercial shoot.”

Elspeth altered her image. She ditched her innocent and adorable image in favor of a dark, tube-top outfit. She then applied some heavy makeup.

However, the makeup looked natural on her and even gave off a touch of enchantment.

Callum, who had been waiting outside, was taken aback when he saw her.

He was initially unsure whether the style would suit Elspeth, but it turned out to be lovely.

“Hey, what’s the deal?” Elspeth smiled as she noticed Callum staring at her in a stupor. “Is it because of my dreadful makeup? I did it all by myself. It might not be as good as your professional makeup artist’s

work-”

“You call it horrible? Nonsense, Elspeth! Our makeup artist isn’t even half as wonderful as you.” Callum. couldn’t stop himself from praising her.

She lowered her head with a chuckle. “I appreciate it.”

“Elspeth, you are stunning!” Yelena jumped out of her chair. Elspeth wore a basic eyeshadow that could blend into the night. She added a few rhinestones to the corners of her eyes, and it made her look exquisite. As a result, Yelena suddenly felt inferior. “You are so stunning that you will overshadow me in the commercial”

After all, she was a young girl. As a result, her initial emotion at seeing a gorgeous lady would be admiration and inferiority.

Elspeth then pinched Yelena’s tender face and she couldn’t help but laugh. “What are you thinking? The makeup I applied for you is stunning and will bring you a lot of attention. Besides, I have no plans to become a celebrity, so don’t be concerned.”

Yelena was overjoyed when she heard that, so she lifted her chin and proudly stated, “Of course! I am the Human Barbie, after all.”

Elspeth learned that the girl was not as mean as she had assumed. She was outspoken but not as bad as those twisted insiders.

“That’s correct. Should we begin filming, Human Barbie?”

Yelena took the initiative to take Elspeth’s hand in hers. “Let’s head to the shoot.”
