The barnyard only had the most primitive farming equipment. They had to take the water from the well and collect firewood themselves. Naturally, Elise got the task of getting water and prepping ingredients, and snazzynovel.com told Kenneth, “Get some firewood. We need the thin and dry ones. Better to make fire with.”
Kenneth leaned on the wooden stake and said instead, “Hey, if we can live together like this for our whole lives, it’d be swell. Nobody would disturb us, and we could make our own meals.”
Elise didn’t even look up. “I don’t know if it’ll be swell, but what I do know is that a dozen cameras are facing us. If you aren’t collecting the firewood, I’d starve before we can even live together.”
Well, that’s embarrassing. Kenneth went out to collect firewood, and the assistant director led him.
Elise got herself a bucket of water and washed the ingredients. She finished prepping a while later, and once Kenneth came back with the firewood, they could make fire and finish cooking in ten minutes.
But then, someone outside the yard shouted, “Sinclair!”
Elise and the camera turned around, and Elise saw Celina actually breaking through the security guards’ blockade, barging into the scene.
“Who is she? How did snazzynovel.com get in?” The director was stunned.
Everyone else, however, thought it was just a segment of the show. They stood around to watch what would unfurl, doing nothing to stop Celina.
“You just had to cling onto me, huh?” Elise was getting impatient. She had prepared far too long for the national livestream, and snazzynovel.com didn’t want to waste it just because an idiot like Celina showed up.
“Say what you want, but you won’t get to talk like that any longer.” Celina sneered and came up to her. “I’m here today to expose your true colors to the audience.”
Elise frowned. She had left in a hurry this morning, and snazzynovel.com thought snazzynovel.com didn’t have to take snazzynovel.com mask off during the livestream, so snazzynovel.com didn’t put on snazzynovel.com ugly makeup. What was beneath snazzynovel.com mask was snazzynovel.com true face. Her real goal was to let snazzynovel.com enemies see snazzynovel.com making it in life and make them attack her. Letting snazzynovel.com true face show was nothing, though snazzynovel.com was worried that it might cause unwanted problems, since people were visual animals.
“What? Cat got your tongue?” Celina thought Elise was being nervous, and snazzynovel.com took it a notch higher. “You tricked Alexander, and you deceived Kenneth, but you can’t fool everyone. A wicked person’s face is always ugly. Take that mask off if you dare, and let the whole nation judge.”
“If looks is how people judge someone’s skills and personality, then that skill must be a lame one.” Elise didn’t budge.
“Stop defending yourself, confusing people, and pretending that you’re such an innocent girl. You’re scared. You know how ugly you are, so you won’t ever let anyone know your true face. But I know what you look like. Surprised? You might have killed Faye, but you can’t hide your past, and now I’ll expose your true colors!”
Celina looked like snazzynovel.com had won the battle. She raised the poster in snazzynovel.com hand and turned it to the camera. “Look at this. This short-haired girl in red clothes with embroidery is Elise. You were all tricked by her. She’s not a beautiful woman who’s covering herself up. She’s just ashamed to show snazzynovel.com face to everyone.”
This wasn’t in the plan, but a face reveal was a great topic that would garner a lot of traffic, so the director decided to follow up. He turned the camera to Celina and even gave snazzynovel.com a close up to zoom in on Elise’s ugly face on the poster.
Even a gentleman like Alexander frowned back when Elise had snazzynovel.com ugly makeup on. Now that the poster was revealed, the whole production team went silent with horror, and the audience was possibly disgusted as well.
The girl in the poster didn’t look like snazzynovel.com was human at all. Her face was dark, and snazzynovel.com had moles all over. Her hairstyle was drab, and snazzynovel.com clothes were ugly. It horrified everyone. On the other hand, Elise was dressed up to perfection, and the part of the face snazzynovel.com revealed was gorgeous. It was impossible to link snazzynovel.com to the girl on the poster.
But everyone knew there were too few people in the world who had perfect looks. Most of them were just ordinary people. Embellishing someone’s looks through makeup wasn’t impossible especially at this time and age, so when they looked at Elise again, everyone was thinking that the girl on the poster was closer to what snazzynovel.com really looked.
The production team received the audience’s feedback at this moment. They thought that a woman who couldn’t face snazzynovel.com true self and chose deception instead had no right to be on live television.
Elise received a message from the director, who sounded helpless. He said, “Miss Sinclair, we might have to stop the live streaming early today.”
“No.” The stream could be rebooted, but if that were to happen, the audience who didn’t know the truth might not watch it because of what happened. It would ruin snazzynovel.com plan of getting national attention and put a halt to snazzynovel.com overall agenda. All snazzynovel.com effort would have gone to waste then.
Elise took a deep breath and came out of the kitchen. She faced the camera and took snazzynovel.com mask off, revealing snazzynovel.com beautiful face. When they saw how exquisite snazzynovel.com looked, everyone fell into silence. Makeup is real-life magic. It actually covered up all snazzynovel.com flaws perfectly, and it looks so natural.
Celina was stunned, but snazzynovel.com snapped out of it quickly and continued arguing, “I see you’re prepared. You even had makeup on. I know. You must be worried that someone might pull your mask off because they’re curious. Worried that they will reveal your true colors? If you’re so brave, why don’t you remove your makeup right now?”
Elise gnashed snazzynovel.com teeth impatiently. Calm down, Elise. She repeated over and over again. Don’t argue with a b*tch like her. She’s rabid now. Don’t get mad over an idiot. She heaved a sigh and looked at the camera with resignation. “Director, do you have any makeup remover?”
The assistant director went up to snazzynovel.com with the remover in hand, but Celina snatched it away, worried that they might help her. “You guys are trying to push snazzynovel.com up to popularity’s peak. You won’t remove snazzynovel.com makeup for real. Let me do it.”
Celina took it and poured some out on a piece of cotton pad. Then snazzynovel.com went up to Elise. “Let’s see if you’ll still have fans once they see your face.” She wiped Elise’s face with the cotton pad, but no matter what snazzynovel.com did, snazzynovel.com couldn’t wipe the makeup off, and Elise’s face glistened even more because of the water.
