“Thank you for liking it.” Alice smiled and politely rejected Tan Jing. “But I can only do makeup for one person a day. If you need it, please come back another day.”
Tan Jing continued to convince her, “1 have a very important banquet today. I really need your help.”
However, Alice’s attitude was very firm. “I’m sorry, Miss Tan Jing. I’ll only do makeup for one person today. If you want to make an appointment, you can come back another day.” She never had a rule that she could only do makeup for one person a day. It was just that she didn’t want to do makeup for Tan Jing. She had long known about Tan Jing and Tan Rou. She knew very well what kind of person Tan Jing was. Even if Tan Jing came alone today, Alice would still come up with an excuse not to do her makeup.
“I’ll pay three times the price for your time!” Tan Jing’s heart was bleeding. The makeup fees in VB were not cheap. She had already spent a lot of money on clothes and makeup. If she were to pay twice the price, she would have no money left.
“Miss Tan Jing, I’ve already made myself very clear.” Alice would not be swayed by soft or hard tactics. She would never bother with those people who she did not like or who would go against her. This was her pride as a top makeup artist. “I will not do makeup for you today. If you are not happy about it, you can leave.”
The makeup artist beside her was also unhappy. She asked with a cold face, “Miss Tan Jing, if you never wanted us as your makeup artist, why did you call for us then?”
Tan Jing had to make a decision quickly. Should she insist on Alice’s makeup or let the other makeup artists do it for her? If she didn’t make a decision now, there might be no one left.
Tao Zhi’s patience was limited as well. “Alice, can you do my sister’s makeup now?”
“Of course.” Alice went into another room. “I’ll go wash my hands and disinfect them.” With that, she walked straight to the bathroom and no longer cared about Tan Jing.
“Alice! Alice!” Tan Jing shouted twice, but Alice ignored her.
“Miss Tan Jing, if you don’t want to pick anything from here nor want makeup services from our makeup artist, you should leave.” With the store manager backing her up, the shop assistant spoke with a firm tone.
“I’ll choose!” Tan Jing cursed Alice silently. D*mn Alice, how dare she reject her request! She must teach Alice and VB a lesson!
Tan Rou and Alice went to the VIP dressing room to get their makeup done. They could hear Tan Jing’s voice nitpicking the dress and makeup skills across the dressing room. Those who didn’t know better would think that the makeup artist’s skills were terrible. In fact, the makeup artists in VB were all well-known makeup artists at home and abroad. Although they could not compare to Alice, they were still very famous.
“You look so much like your brother.” Alice kept smiling, not affected by Tan Jing’s reaction. “Look at your eyes and lips. You’re even prettier than your brother.”
Tan Rou smiled and replied, “There are many who’ve said that I look like my big brother.”
“You really do!” Alice cupped her face. “Your face is perfect. I’ve put on makeup for so many years, but I’ve never seen such a beautiful face!”
“Thank you for your compliment, Sister Alice.” Tan Rou said obediently.
Alice smiled like a blooming flower when she heard Tan Rou call her sister. “Oh dear, could you please call me that again?”
Tan Rou called her ‘Sister Alice’ again, which made her feel delighted.
Tao Zhi pushed the door open and entered. He heard Tan Jing’s scoldingin the room next to them. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know how she can change her expression so quickly. One moment, she’s smiling, and the next moment, she’s scolding them as if they’re worthless.”
“Aiyaya, she’s a child from your family. Why didn’t your family manage her well?” Alice mocked Tao Zhi.
Tao Zhi said, “She’s bad from the core, and it has nothing to do with our education.”
Alice looked at Tan Rou, then at Tao Zhi, and then at Tan Jing. She agreed, “What you said makes a lot of sense. She’s just bad. No matter how much education she receives, it can’t make up for those issues that she has.”
Once Alice was done with Tan Ron’s makeup, she couldn’t help but take out her phone to take a photo of Tan Rou. Tan Rou subconsciously blocked her face. Seeing how Tan Rou didn’t like it, Alice quickly deleted the photo she had just taken. Then, she said with regret, “I only wanted to keep a photo of you for safe keeping, but if you don’t like it, I’ll delete it..”
