President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 229

Jessie started helping me with my makeup. First, he adjusted the balance of my face with wax.

While adjusting, he said, “There is a beach barbecue tonight, I assured that I will make you the brightest star tonight.”

“Thank you, but I just want to look normal.”

I didn’t need to be a star. I just wanted to tell Sean about that secret.

Jessie didn’t think so. “That won’t work. I came for you. If you are not beautiful, am I not here for nothing? Others will question my technique.”

“Well, then, please.”

I knew, whatever I say, Jessie’s going to make me look pretty.

The cosmetic bag Jessie brought up stood up as a big mirror.

He adjusted my face and looked in the mirror and said, “Look, what do you think?”

“Very well, thank you.”

I never doubted Jessie’s technique.

He continued to apply makeup for me. When concealer was applied, he couldn't help but say, “Don’t mind if I ask a question. When Mr. Jessop asked me to apply makeup for you last time, I thought he was really fond of you . How long has this been, how...”

“I and him are not in the relationship that you think.”

I interrupted Jessie directly.

Jessie looked at me as if he understood something. He continued to make up for me, just frowned and said, “In my opinion, you are fearless because you are the favorite one for him. Your face becomes like this, and you don’t want to do a facelift. Men are visual animals. No matter how much they love, they can’t love them when they see such faces.”

“Yes.”

I looked calmly in the mirror. It was the perfect face that had been carved by Jessie’s amazing hands.

Yeah, men were visual animals.

Sean probably hated me already.

Jessie saw that I was not in the mood to answer and did not speak again.

He made up for me quietly.

“Ring-ring”

The doorbell rang at the door as soon as the makeup was ready.

Next I heard Ming’s voice, “June, are you in the room?”

“I will open the door for you.”

I wanted to get up and open the door. But Jessie stopped me and went to the door with his makeup brush in his hand.

After opening the door, Ming saw Jessie, and he was clearly stunned.

Jessie smiled seductively. He poked his hair and reached out to Ming. “Hello, I’m a makeup artist called by Mr. Jessop for Miss Carter.”

“Oh.” Ming hesitated, but reached out and touched Jessie’s hand.

When he came in and saw me, he frowned, “Your face...”

“What about my masterpiece? Is it great?”

At this point, Jessie put his hands on his chest and shook his body, like a shy little woman looking forward to Ming’s praise.

Even the voice became more flattering.

Ming leaned back slightly and looked at Jessie with some vigilance. He smiled reluctantly, “Well, terrific, thank you.”

“You are welcome.”

Jessie heard Ming say thank you and he laughed brilliantly.

The expression on his face can even be regarded as happiness.

Ming was a bit unnatural. He took a step back and stood at a distance. He put his hands around his chest, a bit like a defensive gesture, and said, “Well, you guys, if it’s not convenient, I'll wait outside.”
