Grace's role today as an extra was to be a servant girl. All she had to do was to stand where the director wanted her to stand and keep her head low. There was a whole group of servant girls. They had to wait for the main characters to pass by them and kneel as directed by the director. Then, they had to grovel and say, ‘We wish you happiness and peace, Master and Madam.’
As this was a kneeling scene, she would get extra money—50 dollars more, so 130 dollars in total.
The extras' makeup room was huge. There were several makeup artists as well as male and female extras in the room, all waiting for the makeup artists to apply their makeup.
The makeup artists worked very fast. One's makeup could be done in only five to six minutes.
When it was Grace's turn, the makeup artist was surprised. "You have a scar on your forehead!"
Grace shivered for a little and answered her. It was on her forehead near the scalp, so no one could see it if they did not look closely.
It was a wound inflicted in prison that was not taken care of.
She had many scars.
Grace knew why the makeup artist mentioned it. It was because all the servant girls had to comb their bangs flat today. The scar would be visible.
"Does it matter? Can I still act as a servant girl?" she asked nervously. At first, she had been worried about Lily spiting her. Now, she was worried if she could keep her job as an extra.
"It's all right, we’ll just cover it with a little bit of powder," the makeup artist said and quickly finished Grace's makeup.
