Chapter 381 Brady, Is This the Woman You Like? So Fickle
There was this little media shindig before the fashion show kicked off.
There were folks like Leana, the model rep, and all the designers from JK showing up.
So, once the designers rolled in, they handed off their clothes to their crew and made a beeline for the makeup room to get dolled up for the media.
This wasn't Violet's first rodeo with the press; she'd already faced the cameras with Loraine last time.
But this interview? Totally different ball game. Last time was all about setting the record straight, but now? Now it was her big shot to show off her face and her design chops to the world.
Naturally, Violet was freaking out a bit.
The makeup artist was all about her stunning face. Sensing her jitters, she said, "Ms. DeVere, chill out. You're gorgeous, and everyone's gonna love you."
Violet gave her a grateful smile. "Thanks."
"Close your eyes, and I'll do your eyeliner," the makeup artist instructed.
Violet shut her eyes and let the artist do her thing. She gently applied eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lip gloss. Her touch was super soft.
She worked slowly and carefully, which surprisingly calmed Violet's nerves as she felt the artist's touch.
When the makeup was done, Violet's face was a total knockout.
Her natural beauty made Leana, who was lurking nearby, green with envy.
'Violet, that witch, only has Brady wrapped around her finger because of her pretty face. If she didn't have that, Brady wouldn't give her the time of day, right?' Leana thought bitterly, her nails digging into her palm. She really wanted to mess up Violet's face.
'Yeah! Why didn't I think of acid? And I could get someone else to take the fall,' Leana schemed, a nasty smile creeping onto her lips.
She figured if Violet's face was wrecked, Brady would drop her like a hot potato.
Fifteen minutes later, everyone was done with their makeup. Max strolled in and immediately spotted Violet, who looked like a fairy with her flawless makeup.
Max momentarily forgot Violet had a boyfriend and just stared at her, totally mesmerized.
After a bit, Max snapped out of it, hid his feelings, and walked over to her, asking softly, "You all set?"
"Yeah, all done," Violet nodded.
"Cool. The media's almost here. Get ready to head out," Max said, his eyes glued to Violet.
Feeling awkward under his gaze, Violet quickly looked away, saying, "Okay."
Seeing her look away, Max realized he'd been too obvious and quickly turned his attention to Fanny and the other designers, asking, "You guys ready? If so, let's head out."
Fanny and the others exchanged knowing looks before replying, "Yes, Mr. Green."
With that, everyone started to get up and head out.
Violet tried to get up too, but for some reason, maybe because she'd been sitting too long, her leg went numb, and she almost took a tumble.
Luckily, Max was quick on his feet and caught her, stopping her from hitting the ground. "You okay?"
"I'm fine, just a numb leg," Violet said quickly, trying to push him away, but Max, feeling her softness, held her tight, not letting go.
Violet immediately started to struggle. "Mr. Green?"
Max still didn't budge. This awkward hug was seen by Leana, who quickly whipped out her phone and snapped a pic, then sent it to Brady: [Brady, is this the girl you're into? She's so two-faced; I'm mad for you!]
