Chapter: 201
Betsy felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her as she stood frozen, unable to respond to Elva’s cruel words. Sarah grasped Betsy’s hand and firmly said, “I'll do my own makeup. | don’t need any help.”
“This is the live broadcast of the final...”
Betsy attempted to speak further but was silenced by the resolute look in Sarah’s eyes. The live broadcast of the final was approaching and there was no room for argument.
Elva taunted Sarah with a vicious smile, “Oh, don’t think I’m being unkind. After all, you have been MIA for days, ignoring the rehearsal and neglecting to coordinate with the production team. There simply isn’t a makeup artist available to attend to you.”
Sarah cast a frosty gaze upon Elva, and a smirk curled the corners of her lips. “There was no need for rehearsal. | had already coordinated the program with the crew before my arrival. And as for my appearance, I’ll just choose from the program’s wardrobe collection. So, you needn't concern yourself with me. Focus on your own preparation.”
With a sly grin on her lips, Elva turned toward Sarah, offering a faint “Good luck” before taking her seat with a satisfied smirk.
Sarah was determined to not waste her breath on Elva. Instead, she approached Betsy and asked her to accompany the crew to choose her performance attire from the collection room.
As she leisurely opened her cosmetic bag, Sarah prepared to touch up her makeup, when she noticed Betsy's crestfallen expression as she rapidly returned to her.
“Sarah, there’s a problem. The majority of the performance attire has been ruined and is unusable. Only a small selection of bizarre outfits remain.”
Elva quickly chimed in, offering a solution with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. “What are you going to do now? Will you have to swallow your pride? | would be happy to lend you the clothes | wore during my last performance.”
Sarah’s hand shook with fury as she dropped her makeup brush, the truth dawning upon her that it was none other than Elva who had done this. The thought of wearing the very clothes that Elva had performed in was unbearable to her.
Elva sat nonchalantly, a smirk playing on her lips as she basked in the sight of Sarah’s outrage.
She had been prepared for Sarah’s unexpected arrival, confident that without proper rehearsal and a performance costume, Sarah would be unable to defeat her in the live voting.
With time quickly slipping away, Sarah had no other choice but to take the stage in her everyday clothes, abandoning any hope of finding a replacement outfit.
With a stern voice, Juliet spoke out against Sarah’s choice.
“Absolutely not. Even those who will be singing backup will don performance attire. Your current casual attire is simply unacceptable for the stage. Unfortunately, | only brought one set of performance clothes with me today and cannot provide any assistance.”
Elva then offered again, “Why not wear mine instead? After all, the audience is here to listen to your singing, not judge what you wear.”
“Thanks, but Sarah has got her own crew.” A sweet, clear voice echoed throughout the room. In walked Ariana, her warm smile lighting up the room, and with her, she brought two individuals—a man and a woman.
Elva’s eyes locked onto the man immediately, recognizing the renowned and illustrious stylist, Steven Espinoza!
The arrival of Steven caused a stir in the lounge, as everyone was taken aback by his presence.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Known as “the Godfather of Makeup and Style Making’ in the industry, Steven was a renowned make-up artist and stylist, who had dedicated over two decades of his life to perfecting his craft. He was not only the creator of a top makeup brand but also a trendsetter, revered and respected by all who worked in the field.
“It's incredible that Ariana was able to bring Steven here,” one of the stunned onlookers whispered.
“| told you Ariana has a powerful supporter. You just wouldn’t believe me,” another person commented.
