That's when Shawn came in.
He was probably here to see Jessica. So, when he entered the dressing room and saw Natalia sitting there by herself, he was slightly stunned.
He knew Natalia was on the set, but he just didn't expect to see her here.
The makeup artist didn't know about what had happened between Natalia and Shawn, but she knew that he was Jessica's fiancé.
It was the first time she'd seen him visit since the launch.
She smiled at him and said, "Mr. Miller, you're looking for Jessica, aren't you? She'll be here any minute. Why don't you wait here for a while?"
Shawn automatically wanted to refuse, but when he saw Natalia sitting there, he said yes.
The makeup artist asked her assistant to get Shawn a glass of water. The assistant looked at him quietly and noticed that the young master of the Miller family was even more handsome than in his photos.
With his good looks, many people would like him if he wanted to be an idol.
But he might not be interested. After all, he came from a wealthy family. He didn't have to work so hard to get into the entertainment business.
Everyone thought Jessica was really lucky to find such a handsome and rich husband.
Shawn had no idea what was going on in their heads. From the moment he came in, his eyes had been fixed on Natalia, who was sitting there while the makeup artist worked on her.
His feelings were complicated.
Back when they were together, he offered Natalia the idea of getting her into the entertainment business.
He asked her about that only once. And when she refused, he said nothing more.
And now, she decided to get into this business on her own.
Didn't she once say that she found the entertainment business annoying?
She also said she didn't like the spotlight and that she preferred to work quietly behind the scenes.
He still remembered he felt relieved hearing that.
It was good for him to have her behind the scenes. At least, she wouldn't steal Jessica's thunder.
He knew her strength and her beauty behind her mediocrity. She could be much more successful than Jessica if she wanted to be.
That was something he didn't want to see in the past.
Now, he did not feel the same again looking at her.
The dressing room was quiet and awkward.
After a while, Shawn couldn't resist asking, "Natalia, long time no see. How have you been?"
The makeup artist raised her eyebrows in surprise.
So, these two know each other!
Then she thought of Natalia and Jessica's relationship, and it suddenly clicked.
They're related. He was her sister's boyfriend, so even if they weren't familiar, they naturally knew each other.
What was really strange was that Natalia and Jessica didn't talk much on set. They were sisters but acted as if they were total strangers, which was why others often forgot their relationship.
Natalia lowered her eyes slightly and ignored him while she asked the makeup artist to apply eyeliner.
Shawn was embarrassed and a little reluctant.
She was no longer the woman who looked up to him and would do anything for him.
She was now cold, indifferent, and impatiently resisting.
In particular, her occasional and spontaneous annoyance felt like a sharp needle stabbing into his heart.
Shawn wanted to say something more but Jessica walked in.
