“I have to touch up my makeup! Hold on!” Saying that, Michelle hurriedly took her makeup bag out and carefully inspected her appearance in the mirror.
Just then, Inara turned to look at Ruka. “Ruka, did you bring any makeup? Lend me some.” Ruka shook her head. “I didn’t.” She had never brought these things to work, and except for some lip balm, she was completely barefaced that day.
She hadn’t gotten enough sleep at all, so she had only gotten up after her alarm had rang three times this morning and left in a hurry after washing her face.
In the end, Inara borrowed Michelle’s makeup bag and set it on the table before she began to apply her makeup seriously. Theodore couldn’t help but comment disdainfully, “Girls really are troublesome. Besides, is there any
difference even if you don’t put on makeup? Mr. Husson won’t spare you another glance!”
“What do you know about this? Even if he doesn’t, we have to look our prettiest when he walks past us,” Michelle rebuked.
“I’d be happy for an entire year if he looked at me even once,” Inara added while she was hurriedly drawing her eyeliner.
Ruka clasped her hand over her mouth, holding her laughter back.
“You have to learn from Ruka. Look, isn’t she still pretty without any makeup?”
Ruka had been covering her mouth to stifle her laughter in the first place, so the others instantly caught her smiling expression when they suddenly glared at her.
Michelle looked at her. “You think this is funny?”
Ruka pursed her lips and shook her head. “I’m not laughing at you guys.”
“Ruka looks really pretty even without makeup.” Caspian took advantage of the opportunity and praised her.
“I think Ruka has the highest possibility of catching Mr. Husson’s attention among the three of you. After all, she’s a natural beauty.” Theodore provoked the other two women on purpose.
Ruka jolted in surprise before she hurriedly waved her hands. “All right, stop talking about me.”
Finally, Inara was satisfied with her makeup. After she and Michelle inspected each other, she got up and asked, “Does anyone want to go and see Mr. Husson? Let’s go together!”
“I’m not going. You guys can go ahead.” Ruka raised her head and replied. “All right, I’m not going as well. I’ll stay back with you,” Caspian said.
After the others eagerly left, Caspian furtively sized Ruka up, who was holding her chin in a daze. The sunshine trickled in from the window and shone on her face, causing her fair and delicate features to stand out even more. Her beauty truly was pure, natural, and immaculate.
Caspian couldn’t help but stare at her, his heart pounding hard as he secretly thought to himself that he must get his hands on Ruka.
Although Ruka said she didn’t want to go out to see Ren on the surface, she felt differently on the inside. She wanted to go. She wanted to rush into the crowd to see him now, to look at his handsome appearance, and to watch him receiving his guests calmly and gracefully.
Just then, around eight cars arrived in the parking lot, and Ren alighted from one of the cars. He walked up to two older foreign guests, communicating fluently with them while showing them the way in.
The group walked toward the main hall of the Translation Department, where Victoria was already beautifully dressed and was waiting with the other two heads of the department. When she looked at the man walking by, her chest throbbed violently. Whenever this man appeared, he would always make her go insane from admiration.
People always said that one shouldn’t meet someone who was too outstanding as it would hurt one for a lifetime if one couldn’t be with them. Victoria was in this exact situation-the person she liked was just too outstanding.
When Ren walked over, the two superiors next to Victoria immediately stepped forward and shook hands with him respectfully, then shook hands with the guests one by one before entering the main hall.
In a garden nearby, Inara and Michelle could only look at him from afar, but they were already holding each other in excitement.
“He’s too handsome. It’s like he descended from heaven!” Inara gasped with a look of admiration.
“I really hope that I’d be lucky enough for him to look at me.” Michelle clasped her hands together. “Please give me some luck!”
