Amy began to do makeup for me. He adjusted the balance of my face with skin wax first.
While adjusting my face, he said, "A barbecue party will be held on the beach tonight. You can rest assured that I surely will make you the most dazzling beauty."
"Thank you. But I only hope that I can look like an ordinary person."
"I don't need to be a beauty. I'm just here to tell Patrick about that matter."
However, Amy didn't think so. He said, "That can't do. I'm here for you. If you aren't pretty, won't I come here for nothing? Others will question my skills."
"Okay, I'll leave my face to you."
I knew that whatever I said, Amy would turn me into a pretty girl with his makeup skills.
Amy propped up his makeup case into a big mirror.
He adjusted my face and said in the direction of the mirror, "Look? What do you think of it?"
"It's quite good. Thank you."
I had never doubted Amy's makeup skills.
He continued to put makeup on me. When he was covering the spots for me, he couldn't help but say, "Please don't mind if I ask you a question. When Mr. Cowell turned to me last time, I felt that he indeed doted on you so much. It has only been a short time. Why..."
"My relationship with him isn't as what you think."
I interrupted Amy directly.
Amy looked at me and seemed to understand something. He continued to do makeup for me, frowned, and said, "The way I see it, well, it's because you're favored that you have nothing to fear. Your face is like this. How come you don't want to do plastic surgery? Men all like beautiful things. No matter how much he loves you, he can't hang on when he sees your face like this."
"That's right."
I looked calmly into the mirror and saw the flawless face made up by Amy with his skillful hands.
Yes, men all liked beautiful things.
Patrick probably had hated me early.
Seeing that I wasn't in the mood to respond, he didn't say anything further.
Calmly and quietly, he put on makeup for me.
"Ding-Dong."
As Amy was about to finish doing makeup for me, the doorbell rang.
Then, I heard Shelton's voice, "Charlotte, are you there?"
"I'll help you open the door."
I wanted to get up and open the door. But Amy held me down and went to the door with a makeup brush in his hands.
Amy opened the door. As Shelton, who was standing at the door, saw Amy, he was obviously stunned.
Amy smiled charmingly. He pushed his hair apart and stretched out his hands to Shelton, "Hello, I'm a makeup artist hired by Mr. Cowell. I'm here to do makeup for Miss Archer."
"Oh." Shelton hesitated for a moment. And he reached out and touched Amy's hand in the end.
When he came in and saw me, he was almost stunned. And he frowned, "Your face..."
"It is my masterpiece. What do you think of it? Do you think I am awesome?"
At this time, Amy put his hands in front of his chest and moved his body like a shy woman, asking for credit from Shelton.
Even his voice sounded a little more charming.
Shelton slightly leaned back and looked at Amy with some vigilance. He curled up the comer of his lips with reluctance, forced a smile, and said, "Well, you are awesome. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Amy smiled brightly when he heard that Shelton had thanked him.
The expression on his face indicated that he was quite happy.
"Why don't you call me after you're ready from tomorrow onwards? I won't be coming here. Shelton sighed, "I'm indeed not good at dealing with this kind of person."
"Well, I'll contact you when I will go out."
I was sort of getting Shelton out of his predicaments.
After we were done talking about Amy, Shelton looked at me again. He carefully looked at me and said with a smile, "But he's indeed amazing. You're extraordinarily beautiful today."
"Am I?" I got up and walked to a mirror, looking at the beautiful woman in it.
I wasn't as what I had looked like after Amy had helped me do makeup back then. Today, my face looked even thinner. And I looked a little cold.
Because I couldn't make any exaggerating expressions with my fake face.
Shelton stood behind me and looked at me through the mirror.
He looked at me with his sharp eyes behind his glasses. There was a trace of warmth in his eyes. He said, "Let's go. The sunset is so beautiful. Let's go out for a walk."
"Okay."
I got changed and went out with Shelton.
Most of the persons outside were strange ones to me. Shelton told me that basically, only the relatives of the Cowell Family and the Kelsi family as well as friends who were quite close to Patrick and Kelsi were invited to attend this wedding.
I said, " I was neither their relative nor their friend."
Speaking of which, I was kind of a special existence.
"Although I was a relative, I was somewhat unwelcome here."
Originally, Shelton was teasing himself. But his words embarrassed me quite much.
I looked at him and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's all because you want to accompany me here."
He raised his hand and patted me gently on my head, "It's alright. In fact, I can see such a beautiful you, which means I don't make a trip for nothing." He paused and added, "And I am quite glad that I am here after I know that you are pregnant."
