Chapter 302 Mr. Windsor's Gaze
Natalie gazed at her reflection in the mirror, which seemed somewhat out of place, and shared her creative concept for the photo shoot with Jane.
"Alright, let’s start shooting first before we settle the score." Jane knew Jane that Natalie did not want to cause any disturbance in front of the cameras; Natalie was simply too nice.
They had nothing to fear since they were not part of the entertainment industry. Moreover, they were not the ones with ill intentions and did not tamper with things.
When Natalie appeared wearing the dress, it elicited laughter from everyone once again.
The photographer from Sharon’s team said jokingly, "Hahaha! Natalie, today's challenge seems to be quite difficult for you!"
The laughter was contagious, drawing others in.
Feeling upset from being cheated, Jacob found it impossible to share in the laughter upon witnessing Natalie's ludicrous look.
Jacob did not understand how Jane could remain so calm. In a place hidden from the cameras, he asked her, "Are you going to let others do this to us?”
Jane, growing impatient, said, “Hurry up and get ready to apply makeup for Natalie.”
Jacob’s unique makeup skills did not change at all. When he was applying makeup for Natalie, he said smugly, “I did some research last night. It’s said that one’s makeup should complement one’s outfit. The look should be harmonious…”
He continued to say, “Hmm, we don’t have blue or purple lipsticks, only red. Huh? What’s the difference between these two red lipsticks…”
As Natalie listened, she sensed something amiss. Even the usually stoic and composed cameraman could not restrain his laughter. With this, an ominous feeling rose in her heart.
After Jacob finished drawing her eyebrows, she finally took a look at herself and almost jumped out of her seat. She was shocked by the dark and heavy blue-black eyeshadow and her brows that extended to her temples.
The live chat was filled with laughter.
[I was about to die from laughter when I watched Jacob applying the makeup with such a serious expression!]
[I feel pity for Natalie's face! Hahaha!]
[This is so realistic! In men’s eyes, there’s no difference between lipstick shades!]
[I wonder how Natalie and Jane feel with such a stylist!]
Natalie covered her face, feeling embarrassed and not knowing where to look. She had planned to go for the cool and decadent look, but this makeup…
Jacob, who could not differentiate between shades of red, had chosen the brightest red lipstick. He looked at Natalie for a moment and frowned, belatedly realizing his mistake. He muttered, “You look like a ghost…”
Natalie, feeling helpless, asked wryly, “You finally noticed?”
The stylists from the other two teams, having learned from their previous experience, intensified the makeup this time. They were confident that the final edited photos would turn out better than the previous ones.
…
Under the sympathetic and expectant looks of the others, Natalie and Jane ventured out to find a suitable location for their photoshoot.
As soon as they were done, Natalie promptly removed her makeup.
This time, editing the photos required a bit more time, and Jane submitted the finalized product at the last moment, exhaling a sigh of relief.
As everyone anticipated the unveiling of Natalie's ‘horror-themed’ photos, they found themselves astounded by the outcome again!
The photos showed a woman perched on a tree with ghost-like makeup. Her pose was unrestrained, and her long hair fluttered in the air. Her expression was cold and haughty as she peered into the lens. She lightly brushed her bright red lips with her thumb, drawing attention to them. The hint of red served as the sole warm hue on Natalie's figure, acting as the highlight.
One photo featured the night scene with the bright moon serving as the background while the other had a backdrop of heavy snowfall.
In conclusion, all three photos were breathtaking!
The production crew was left speechless once again. The director even wondered to himself, ‘How can Natalie’s team make a comeback again under such circumstances? Is there a bug?’
Just like before, the live chat exploded.
[Oh my goodness! How’s this possible?!]
[Natalie looks absolutely stunning!]
[What a beautiful ghost!]
[These photos make me weak in the knees, and I’m a woman!]
[So beautiful! Please upload the HD photos so we can use them as our wallpapers!]
Those who ridiculed Natalie and Jacob found themselves proven wrong again by Jane and Natalie’s flawless cooperation.
Jacob carefully studied the photos for a moment before he said, “Why do I feel like your expression… The more I look, the more I feel your expression is just like that of your husband…”
"What kind of expression?" Zoey, as a senior, had no scruples about openly gossiping.
"The expression of disdain," Jacob whispered, "Just like how Oliver’s expression always seemed to say, ‘You foolish plebs…’”
Jacob had seen the disdain, contempt, and threat in Oliver’s gaze previously.
Grace could not contain her laughter. She asked, "Jacob, are you aware of what your fans are currently saying about you?"
She added gleefully, “They’re calling you silly!”
Jacob's smile stiffened.
Without Natalie's striking photos serving as a comparison, Lily and Sharon’s photos would have been considered impressive.
Sharon, clad in her blue dress, was vibrant and elegant, while Lily, in her black dress, exuded sophistication and dignity. However, they paled in comparison to Natalie.
…
"Now that the show has concluded, isn’t it time for us to settle the score?" Jacob said frostily as soon as filming stopped.
The director was puzzled.
Jacob smirked, “I’m talking about the outfits. Natalie clearly obtained a black dress. How did it find its way to Lily?”
Jane looked at Jacob in surprise. She did not expect him to start the confrontation before she did. Then, she said, “That’s right. I did see Natalie obtaining a black dress.”
Upon hearing this, the crew members looked at Lily with confusion and suspicion.
Lily's face turned ashen immediately. She shook her head in denial and said, feigning innocence, “I… I don’t know what happened. I took the treasure chest without checking its content. I didn’t know what kind of outfit I obtained. I only saw the outfit earlier. I didn’t do anything.”
Lily's helpless and weak demeanor swayed the opinions of the others.
Jane asked sarcastically, “Then did someone from the crew swap the outfits? Or did the outfits suddenly gain the ability to move on their own?”
"How should I know? I... Natalie, do you suspect me because of our previous misunderstandings? I…" Lily attempted to divert the blame.
“Misunderstanding? Only someone who feels inferior to me and overshadowed by me on the runway would hold onto those so-called misunderstandings…” Natalie interjected.
Natalie had no initial intention of dredging up past grievances, but Lily's actions forced her to bring up the past. Moreover, she would not be the one who would feel embarrassed.
"How can you say that? It’s not like that at all,” Lily said, looking aggrieved but seething with anger inwardly, “Director, I want to prove my innocence. They can’t slander me like this without evidence!”
