Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1053

James Barlow spoke to Mira Mercer in heavily accented Mavarian.

"Is your friend a foreigner, too?"

Dominic West couldn't help asking.

"Yes, he's from overseas."

Mira replied.

After driving about five miles out, Jax Weaver found a secluded spot in the mountains and pulled over.

He immediately removed the license plates, buried them in the dirt, and gathered wild brush to camouflage the vehicle before climbing into the back to start the disguises.

Master Ellis personally took charge of the makeup, carefully working on each person while Mira assisted, transforming the entire group to look Caucasian.

They even used prosthetic bridges to give everyone prominent, Western-style noses.

Watching the entire process in awe, Dominic couldn't help but praise, "Master Ellis, your skills are unbelievable. When are you going to teach me?"

"Don't think you can just learn anything you want. This is our exclusive family secret."

Owen Lance shot Dominic a proud, sidelong glance.

Dominic returned the look. "Is this a Lance family heirloom or something?"

"Keep chirping, and I'll have Master Ellis turn you into a woman!"

Owen snapped.

"It doesn't seem like Master Ellis takes orders from you."

"But my lady does."

Owen retorted with a roguish grin.

"Your lady is my student. It's still up in the air who she's closer to."

Dominic shot back relentlessly.

"Enough, both of you! Can't you see Mira and I are working our fingers to the bone? If you can't help, at least stop bickering.

Keep it up, and I'll turn you both into women!"

Dominic's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed an eyeliner pencil. "Master Ellis, let me hold that for you."

Owen followed suit, taking the foundation from Mira's hands. "My lady, let me hold this."

The scene instantly shifted: an older man and a young woman busily working, flanked by two towering men who each held makeup tools, occasionally throwing out shameless flattery.

Given the cramped space inside the vehicle, the two large men had to awkwardly stoop over.

If a picture of this leaked online, it would break the internet.
