Marshall looked a little dazed. There was a complex set of emotions behind his eyes when he stared at Stella, which she found strange. ’ Marshall? Mr. Moore?” Stella called out several times before he came back to his senses.
Marshall was aware that he lost his composure. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, ‘I’m just in shock. You look like a completely different person.”
Stella looked at herself in the mirror and nodded. “Yeah. I was shocked when I saw myself in the mirror. This is the first time I’ve seen this type of makeup skill. It’s like the ancient art of disguise.”
“You cant really tell in pictures, but people may notice that you have heavy makeup on in real life. However, it’s not obvious because you have a good base,” the makeup artist said with a smile while cleaning his makeup brushes.
After saying that, he teased Marshall and said, ’It looks so real, right?”
Marshall did not answer. Instead, he stood behind Stella, propped up against the back of her chair as he looked at the person in the mirror, and let out a faint laugh.
“What?” Stella asked, not knowing why he was laughing.
“I was thinking of giving you a new identity when I suddenly remembered how you lied to me. You said your name was Celeste when we first met.”
Stella was quiet. “It’s best we don’t mention that ever again.”
‘It’s so embarrassing,’ she thought.
Marshall chuckled and said, “It’s a good name. Tonight, you’ll be Celeste Thompson. What kind of job do you think Celeste would have to make it
believable?”
“A human surface dirt remover engineer!”
Marshall was confused.
Seeing he did not get the joke, the makeup artist beside him interjected and said, “A spa scrub attendant for short.”
