Chapter 76 Little Devil

Security?

Emily shrugged, indicating she couldn't help with that.

Last time, she helped out as a model, but she couldn't possibly act as security this time.

"The security issue is something I'll handle myself, but I need you to take care of Chloe's makeup today," Wilson said.

Emily was a bit surprised. "Don't big stars have their own makeup artists?"

"Chloe came directly from a film festival and only brought an assistant. They didn't have time to coordinate with a makeup artist," Wilson said, his expression turning serious. He lightly patted her shoulder. "You can do it, believe in yourself!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the entrance. "Get your hands off her!"

Jackson had just arrived and witnessed them. Wilson reached out to touch Emily, and this foolish woman didn't even know to step back?

With a stride, Jackson pulled Emily behind him, glaring at Wilson. "What are you doing?"

Wilson was helpless. "Boss, you've misunderstood. I was just expressing my admiration for Emily..."

"Can't you express it with words?"

"It's not... How do I explain this? Emily, can you explain it?"

Emily felt a bit awkward. She forcefully freed herself from Jackson's grasp and stepped back a few paces, putting some distance between them. She explained, "Boss, Wilson was just talking about work with me. He didn't do anything inappropriate, I can vouch for that."

Jackson's expression softened slightly. "Really?"

"Really!"

With the crisis averted, Wilson wiped the sweat from his forehead.

From now on, he would make sure to maintain his distance when discussing work with Emily.

Backstage was always bustling and busy, and Emily focused intently on her preparations.

"Are you feeling better?" Jackson asked.

Emily was startled. "What?"

"Yesterday, you weren't feeling well. Are you feeling better today?"

"I'm much better now, don't worry," Emily said. "I need to start working now, so you can go over there."

With that, Emily paid him no more attention and began applying makeup to the first model.

Today's theme was beach sunshine. The cars on display were all off-road beach vehicles, and the models were dressed very sexy.

Emily selected different foundations for them based on their skin tones and then got to work.

When she came back to her senses, Jackson was no longer in the backstage makeup room.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Emily, are you done with your work? Chloe will be here soon!"

Emily looked up and saw only the last three backup models remaining to be made up. It was only 8:30, so there was still plenty of time.

She replied, "Almost done."

Wilson understood and gestured OK to her.

Just as Emily was about to continue her work, she saw a boy about ten years old at the backstage entrance. He was wearing a basketball jersey and holding a basketball in his arms.

Only staff with work permits were allowed backstage. Perhaps this child was brought in by one of the staff members?

Wilson furrowed his brows. "Whose child is this? How did he get backstage? Someone take him out quickly."
