I looked speechlessly at Tyler.
If I were the makeup artist, I would have told him, 'If you're so good, then you do it.’
Glancing at the makeup artist who was on the verge of tearing up after being chastised by him, I indifferently said, "Why don't you do it for me, then?”
Tyler pursed his lips. "I would've done it if I knew how."
If so, just shut up, then.
Tyler clammed up under my cold glare.
20 minutes later, the makeup artist finished doing my makeup. After she left, Tyler walked up behind me and looked at me in the mirror while giving a satisfied nod. "You'll be the most beautiful woman at the banquet today.”
No woman disliked hearing compliments, and the same applied to me. "Now that's sweet.”
Tyler smiled and did not say anymore.
The Schumans were holding the banquet at The Imperial Hotel. Tyler and I arrived at the entrance of the hotel at half-past six.
We did not estimate the time well enough, so most of the guests had already arrived by this time. There were numerous luxury cars parked at the front entrance of the hotel, and passersby would stop to look at the scene for a very long time before they continued walking.
For ordinary people, this was a completely different world from theirs. It was a world that they could never reach.
Carlson and Yvonne stood at the entrance to welcome the arriving guests, while reporters gathered on one side to take pictures. Carlson spotted Tyler and me as soon as we got out of the car. He beckoned to us with a smile.
The reporters had very sharp eyes and they all turned t o look at us at the same time. Shortly after that, lights began flashing.
I squinted my eyes in discomfort; Tyler lifted his hands and helped shield me from the lights. "Ignore them. Let's go straight in."
I nodded.
