Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Don't Force Her
"What are you two doing here?"

Emily turned around abruptly, spotting Allen Parker standing nearby, his gaze sharp as he observed her and Jackson.

"Brother, perfect timing," Jackson finally stood up, no longer pressing her. He gestured towards Emily. "Do you like her?"

The gleam in Allen Parker's eyes flickered. "She seems decent."

After a pause, he added, "From an employer's perspective, she's a good employee."

Jackson pressed further, "But from a man's perspective?"

Allen Parker chuckled lightly. "She's beautiful, with a great personality. What man wouldn't like her?"

Jackson's eyes turned sharp instantly. "Are you serious?"

"Kidding," Allen Parker lifted his wrist to check the time. "Jackson, the exhibition is in less than an hour. Don't you need to prepare?"

Time was tight, and now wasn't the best time for a conversation.

Jackson fell silent for a moment, then pulled Emily back to the makeup room, leaving Allen Parker alone, seemingly lost in thought as he watched them leave.

The people in the makeup room were already on edge.

Wilson paced back and forth with a coffee, relieved to see Jackson and Emily return. "Oh my God! You're finally back. Emily, you need to start working quickly. We have less than an hour left!"

Emily immediately opened her makeup kit and started working on the models.

Wilson approached her, whispering, "Did the boss take you out to discuss the makeup requirements?"

Emily let out a sigh. "No."

"What should we do then?"

Emily gritted her teeth. "I'll work according to my own ideas."

"Oh, my God, do you have confidence? I heard that Jackson's brother, Allen Parker, is also here today, along with many other big shots. What if you mess up?" Wilson fretted.

Emily glanced towards the door, seeing Jackson standing there listening to the staff's reports, seemingly having no intention to discuss makeup requirements with her.

"Jackson doesn't look pleased. Did you offend him?" Wilson asked.

"I don't know," Emily shrugged.

Emily didn't have time to care about Jackson's mood; she immediately immersed herself in her work.

Emily had thought in the morning that since the theme this time was "speed" and "power," the makeup couldn't be as simple and elegant as last time; it had to lean towards vibrant and bold.

She began applying makeup to the models. Opting for intense dark eyeshadows and lip colors, she aimed to highlight the eyes' cold and noble charm. The lip color was a mature red, outlined with deep brown to enhance their fullness. She then enhanced the contours of their faces, adding highlights to make the models' features sharp and three-dimensional, overall presenting a wild and unrestrained femininity.

The hairstyles were also done to be flowing and flamboyant, with big waves, meticulously shaped and fixed with spray.

One model after another completed their makeup and hair, ready to go to the exhibition hall.
