The moment she heard the familiar voice, Heather felt a headache coming on.
Qu Leqi was here.
Apparently, Yi Yang had come to give her a heads-up earlier because of this, so she could be mentally prepared.
"Miss Qu..." The makeup artist couldnāt afford to offend either one, so asked Heather, "Does Miss Hai want to wait and get ready later?"
They all knew both were brought in under Mr. Nianās name; they knew Heather was his bodyguard, and Qu Leqi was his rumored girlfriend, but...
Thereās no precedent for having a bodyguard brought in for makeup, right?
Thus, itās hard to tell what kind of triangular relationship this is exactly, so the best strategy is to serve both well and not offend anyone.
Qu Leqi sat to Heatherās right, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
This was their first meeting since the kidnapping incident because she had been "sick" and didnāt join the crew.
At this moment, Qu Leqi naturally placed herself on a high pedestal, because Nian Shen chose her in the end, making her feel triumphant. Meeting Heather again, she held her head high and spoke more boldly.
"Heather, you look unwell. Havenāt things been going well for you recently?"
Heather held her forehead with one hand, closed her eyes to rest, and ignored her.
Qu Leqi believed she was deliberately ignoring her and coughed, raising her voice, "I had no choice; Mr. Nian just thinks Iām more important than you, which is why he chose me."
The makeup artist was in turmoil internally, thinking, they were right! It really is a love triangle!
Feeling helpless, Heather finally opened her mouth, "Qu Leqi, do your makeup, close your mouth, and stop talking."
What she hated most was when she was in a bad mood, having a mosquito buzz endlessly beside her.
The makeup artistās expression seemed shocked, like their dog had been kicked; Heather was really domineering! Her aura completely matched Qu Leqiās star status.
"Youā" Qu Leqi was at a loss for words.
Heather added, "Shut up before I lose my temper, or I wonāt know what Iāll do next."
The makeup artist felt relieved now.
Having seen her attitude towards Qu Leqi, it was clear she had been super gentle with them just now!
Although Qu Leqi felt embarrassed, Heather seemed extremely irritable and impatient today. Thinking about it, she realized it wasnāt necessary, so she obediently closed her mouth.
Soon, another makeup artist came in, panting, "Sorry Miss Hai, Miss Qu, there was a traffic jam outside, delayed a bit."
Qu Leqi was somewhat dissatisfied, wondering why Heather was ahead of her in the lineup? Clearly, she should be the one receiving the most attention!
Heather was still holding her head, waving a hand to signal her to stay quiet.
The original makeup artist gave a sisterly gesture to sit down for a bit and made a shushing motion.
Anyone with a modicum of emotional intelligence could see Heatherās appearance and guess whatās up, quickly putting down the makeup kit and sitting on the sofa to rest.
Half an hour passed, Qu Leqiās makeup was already done, while Heather remained motionless as if meditating.
The makeup artist still didnāt want to offend and quietly said to Qu Leqi, "Miss Qu, why donāt we go to another room to style? Iām afraid weāll disturb Miss Hai...she seems to need a good long rest."
