Joanna lifted Michelle's chin to get a good look on the girl's face. In a mimicking voice, she said, "Leon, I miss you so much..."
Michelle reached out to cover her mouth, her face blushed.
"You read my diary!"
"Let go of me first. I won't do your makeup if you don't let me go," Joanna said in a muffled voice as she glanced playfully at Michelle.
Michelle furrowed her eyebrows and pouted.
Her face was still flushed, but she reluctantly let go of her hand and snorted at Joanna.
"It's wrong for you to read my diary. It's so embarrassing." Michelle crossed her arms and plopped down on the chair angrily.
"You call that a diary?" Joanna recalled Michelle's desk. Several loose papers were scattered all over and most of them were written in a mess.
"Other people usually take a notebook and write on it carefully. You, on the other hand, look like you just suddenly thought of something and casually wrote it down on the first thing you lay your eyes on." She then pinched Michelle's chin again and added, "Don't move. Close your eyes so I can apply some foundation on you."
"Okay." Michelle raised her head and closed her eyes.
"I didn't mean to read your diary." Joanna squeezed out some foundation cream and slowly applied it evenly on Michelle's fair face.
After thinking for a while, she decided to explain.
"When you asked me to get some snacks last time, I saw it by accident. It actually made me curious about him. I guessed you had feelings for him. And it turns out I was right." A proud smirk slowly formed on her lips after she finished explaining her side.
"Do you also have someone that you like?" Michelle asked as she opened her eyes.
"I don't have a boyfriend at the moment." After Joanna was done applying foundation on Michelle, she proceeded to work on her eyebrows. She noticed that they were dense and in good shape so she didn't need to do so much work.
"You don't have a boyfriend at the moment. Does this mean that you had one in the past?" Michelle blinked her eyes innocently as she waited for an answer.
Joanna smiled softly as a nostalgic look appeared on her face. "He was my desk-mate in middle school, and later on he was admitted to a key high school. In fact, I got accepted as well."
"Why didn't you go to high school? You would have been in the third year by now, right?" Michelle unconsciously raised her eyebrows in confusion.
Joanna paused. "Yes. Anyway, stop talking. Your eyebrows move every time you speak. If you don't shut up, I'll end up making you ugly in front of the person you like."
Michelle pursed her lips. She definitely didn't want to show up in front of Leon with ugly eyebrows.
In fact, she honestly wanted to look beautiful in front of him.
"I'm going to shut up now." She didn't utter a single word or make any sound afterwards.
Instead, she silently followed everything that Joanna ordered her to do.
Joanna ended up giving her a fresh summer look. Her make-up faintly matched the color of the dress she was wearing, making her appear playful and sweet.
"Joanna, you're amazing!" Michelle exclaimed. She had a wide smile plastered on her face as she continued to admire her new look in front of the mirror.
"Now, that we're done with your look, you'd better hurry and meet him," Joanna said after admiring her handiwork.
Afterwards, she proceeded to clean up all the cosmetics that they had taken out.
Michelle grabbed her hand. "Let me clean this up for you. It's the least I can do for troubling you with putting on my make-up. Thank you, Joanna. Go ahead and rest now."
"Alright, then." Joanna shrugged. She instantly agreed without a second thought and went back to bed. Although a yawn had already escaped her lips, she didn't feel sleepy just yet. She closed her eyes and asked quietly, "When are you going to confess your feelings for him?"
