Chapter 37: Even hotter than fire
Before Sarah could read the message, the studio door was suddenly pushed opened again. Two people walked in carrying large makeup cases and professional lighting equipment.
"Sorry we’re late!" called out a cheerful voice. "Traffic was terrible."
Sarah quickly put her phone back in her purse, deciding to deal with the message later. Whatever he wanted could wait.
The first makeup artist was a tall man with gentle eyes and a warm smile. He looked professional and friendly. But it was the second makeup artist who immediately caught everyone’s attention.
She was a beautiful Chinese woman in her late twenties with long black hair and perfectly applied makeup. She wore a tight-fitting dress that showed off her figure, and her eyes immediately locked onto Mason the moment she entered the room.
"Oh my God," she whispered, her voice filled with awe. "It’s really him."
David stepped forward to make introductions. "Everyone, these are our makeup artists. This is Kevin, and this is Elena Zhang."
Elena barely acknowledged David’s introduction. Her eyes were fixed on Mason like he was the only person in the room.
"Mr. Liu," she said in a breathy voice, walking straight toward him. "I can’t believe I’m actually meeting you. I’ve seen you in magazines and on TV, but you’re even more handsome in person."
Mason immediately stepped backward, his face becoming cold and distant. "Miss Zhang, please attend to my wife. She’s the one who needs makeup."
But Elena didn’t seem to hear him. She continued moving toward Mason, her hands reaching out as if she wanted to touch him.
