The program required Holly to put on makeup and wear the clothes provided.She sat in the dressing room. After the makeup artist applied foundation all over her face, she began doing her eye makeup.The makeup artist held the brush in her hand and said, "Ms. Sinclair, you're really young and pretty. You don't look like you have much on the male professionals out there. Is it okay if I make you look older?"She was basically calling Holly eye candy.Holly could sense what she was getting at. She smiled. "There's no need. You can just put light makeup on. We don't rely on our looks in this industry."The makeup artist put some mascara and some light lipstick on her, and Holly went on stage.She usually wore clean, practical clothing.To fit the program, she wore a maroon sleeveless dress made of tulle. It revealed her delicate collarbones and her slender arms.Her skin was porcelain white. The maroon of her dress only accentuated that.Her delicate features were elegant and beau

Holly squirmed her way out of Bryce's grip. "I need to change out of my clothes in the dressing room."Bryce looked at her softly. "Alright. I'll wait for you.""You don't have to. You can go to work. I drove here."Bryce pursed his lips, saying nothing.Holly put the flowers and the juice into his hands. She took his coat off and put it on his arm.It was summertime. The coat was hot.It was just a sleeveless dress. All it did was expose her shoulders and collarbones. Everyone was wearing the same thing.She didn't know what he was being so jealous about.She went into the dressing room and walked in.The makeup artist greeted her and helped her with her hair.Holly took off one of her earrings and put them on the dresser.The makeup artist looked at Holly in the mirror and said, "You're so pretty. It's such a pity that you're not an actress."Holly took out her other earring and smiled. "An actress needs to be able to act and carry herself well. I'm not good at that. It's

Arthur's expression darkened even more when he heard Holly's laughter.Penelope, who was sitting near Arthur, wasn't privy to the full story. She saw the way Holly was intently staring at the glass bottle in Arthur's left hand.Curious, she asked, "Is the bottle you're holding made of crystal, Uncle Arthur? Is it very valuable? I heard crystal bottles from the 4th century BC were unearthed a few years ago. They looked similar to the one you have in your hand."Arthur hummed unhappily. Despite his emotionless façade, he was feeling angry deep down. He wasn't holding onto the glass bottle—he just couldn't get it off.He was someone who cared a lot about his reputation, yet he had been completely humiliated by an inexperienced young woman. People had been asking about it no matter where he went.Soon, Bryce opened the door and walked in. Arthur looked at him and jutted his chin toward the empty seat beside him. "Come and sit here, Bryce."Penelope was sitting beside that empty sea

It was a huge bowl of consommé. Even if it had slightly cooled down, it was still hot enough to burn Samantha's face.Samantha was drenched in oily soup. There were slices of mushrooms hanging on the neckline of her expensive silk blouse, and her exquisitely styled hair was littered with assorted garnishes.Her mascara and eyeshadow melted from the consommé, smudging into dark circles around her eyes. Her lipstick had also melted, turning her once cherry lips into a blood-red mess.Samantha's beauty was suddenly ruined by a bowl of consommé. She looked beyond disheveled.Caleb couldn't help but burst out laughing from the side.His laughter angered Samantha even more, and her eyes turned red with fury. Her rationality vanished as anger consumed her, giving way to impulsiveness.She swatted the mushrooms away from her neckline and shook off the hodgepodge on her head. She couldn't be bothered to cry as she picked up her crutch from the side and started hitting Penelope with it."

Penelope's back was assaulted with a cup. A sharp pain struck her shoulder. The cup fell and shattered on the ground.She turned around and saw a gloating smile on Samantha's face.Penelope was beyond livid. She wasn't expecting Samantha to be so relentless, resorting to sneaking attacks from behind when she couldn't win fair and square.Penelope looked around and noticed the kettles on the cabinet by the door. She walked forward to grab one before striding toward Samantha.The water in the kettle was boiling hot.Noticing that a disaster was about to happen, the waitstaff standing by the side hurriedly grabbed Penelope's wrist and took the kettle away from her.The waitstaff then said, "Please calm down, miss. This contains hot water. It could cause a serious accident."Penelope was the same age as Bryce. Thus, she was older and more mature than Samantha. Her rationality returned upon the waitstaff's intervention.She coldly glanced at Samantha, snorting lightly before opening
