Chapter 380: The makeup artist was displeased to hear that. "What do you mean?" He wasn't here just for makeup; Rosie had hired him for something more.
Julia said, "No offense, but you weren't hired by Mr. or Mrs. Harper, or by Miss Brenna Harper herself. You were invited here without her approval. I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave." Realizing the predicament, the makeup artist understood that Rosie had arranged this without the Harper family members' consent. Attempting to rectify the situation, he smiled, trying to persuade Julia, saying, "Look, I'm the top makeup artist in Shirie. My clients, many of whom are celebrities, often say my work is as transformative as plastic surgery. I'm sure Miss Harper would be thrilled with the results." His demeanor remained professional as he added, “Please, just speak with Miss Harper about this. I'm confident I can make her stand out tonight." Julia, slightly swayed by his pitch, decided to go upstairs to discuss it with Brenna.

The room alone was larger than his entire apartment and decorated with refined taste that spoke of luxury. His eyes caught a decorative oil painting on the wall, and he immediately recognized it as the work of a famous artist. That single piece was likely worth a fortune.
A painting like that was as expensive as a house.
The longer he looked around, the more he felt the stark contrast in their lives.
And he thought of the Harper family's daughter celebrating her birthday today. She would be wearing a tiara valued at over a billion dollars; he reflected on how he could never amass such wealth in his entire lifetime.
Indeed, life seemed overwhelmingly unfair.
In Brenna's bedroom on the third floor, she was absorbed in replying to Ethan's messages. She had just discovered that he had been in Norview for the past few days. Since today was her birthday, he had timed his return perfectly and aimed to arrive at the Harper family's residence by seven in the evening to celebrate with her.

Traceable only at gvlnov Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that she hadn't approached the situation well, especially since Ellie was already prepared to do Brenna's makeup.
Just then, Ellie's phone rang. She answered it quickly and responded after a brief pause, “Alright, I'll try to have the design draft ready within the hour for you to review." When she hung up, she shrugged and said, "Talk about perfect timing. I have a draft to finish, and the client's breathing down my neck. Since you already have a talented makeup artist here, you can let him do the makeup for you."
Brenna glanced at her. "Alright.” She turned to Julia. "Julia, Olease bring Leix the makeup artist up."
Julia nodded respectfully and left.
Moments later, Bingham To later, appeared, carrying two makeup cases.
It was Bingham's first tmeeting Brenna, and he was struck speechless by her beauty. Even m without makeup, she was the kind of woman who commanded attention effortlessly. With the right touch of makeup, she would be nothing short of breathtaking.
