Chapter 12 The Boys Were Missing
- His ringtone went off.
- Quan Yao unlocked the phone and ordered listlessly, “Retrieve of copy of my father’s DNA right away…”
- He suspected the boys were his father’s illegitimate sons.
- Tap, tap, tap.
- The clanking sound of high heels was profound. An Shengxia rushed out of the lift with a cosmetic bag in her heads.
- “Miss An, the client asked for your services specifically, is that your long-time client?” The personal assistant Xiaoke asked curiously.
- “I don’t suppose so, I just got back from overseas…” It was An Shengxia’s first day at work, but a client insisted on asking for her makeup services, who would it be?
- “I heard she’s a famous figure!” Xiaoke said excitedly, “I think she a superstar and her surname is An too!”
- “What?”
- Her surname is An and she’s a superstar? It can’t be that coincidental right?
- An Shengxia only wanted to make an honest living quietly. She did not want any connections with the An Family.
- Hope it’s not her!
- “An Shengxia, this is a special client, if you don’t do the job well, don’t think about making a living in this industry anymore.” The manager Li Meng approached her and reminded her solemnly.
- “Understood, I will try my best!” An Shengxia was clear that she must make no mistakes.
- “Miss An, you should get going.” Xiaoke opened the dressing room’s door and left.
- An Shengxia took a deep breath and wiggled her wrist before entering.
- “You never thought it was me right?” With her finger, An Rumo tapped on the table three times while sitting by the table elegantly. She was exactly An Shengxia’s client today.
- “Miss An, may I know what kind of style you would like to go for today?” Despite feeling frustrated, An Shengxia would not show her emotions to the clients. This was the basic etiquette of a makeup artist.
- “I’m planning to attend a prestigious banquet tonight, I’m in a rush.” An Rumo crossed her legs and waggled her little finger, “You have one hour.”
- “Sure!” An Shengxia lowered her head to inspect An Rumo’s features. It was obvious that she had plastic surgery done, but it could be concealed with the right techniques.
- An Shengxia completed the base makeup for An Rumo in less than half an hour. Following this, she was preparing to apply the eyeliner.
- “Ah! My face!”
- Suddenly a huge red patch surfaced on her fair and silky face, An Rumo yelped, “Ah… My face hurts!”
- “What did you do to Rumo’s face exactly?” Madam Fan shoved An Shengxia away furiously.
- “I… Didn’t…” An Shengxia was caught by surprise as she was pushed a few steps backward. She knocked into the door behind her.
- However, the door was opened abruptly. An Shengxia was petrified, she thought she was going to fall, but she accidentally fell into a tough chest!
- “Thud!”
- An Shengxia raised her head and found a familiar face, then instantly shoved Quan Yao away like she had just seen a ghost.
- She turned around and caught a glimmer of wicked grin on An Rumo’s face.
- “Ahh, my face…!!!”
- An Rumo’s fingers were trembling as she covered her face. At this point, Quan Yao just noticed that An Rumo’s face was covered with red spots. He took on a grim expression, “What happened?”
- “Nothing, nothing…”
- An Shengxia could not believe An Rumo’s response. She actually did not ask Quan Yao to stand up for her?
- “What do you mean nothing, it’s obviously…”
- Just as Madam Fan wanted to speak up, An Rumo interrupted her, “Hey you, the makeup artist, you’re no longer required here, get out!”
- An Rumo only had one idea in mind, to drive An Shengxia as far as she can!
- “But, your face…” With the cosmetic bag in her hands, An Shengxia, pondered briefly and decided to leave. Perhaps An Rumo had an allergic reaction to what she just ate.
- “Young Master Quan, you came just at the right time!”
- Just as An Shengxia left, Madam Fan started snitching on her, “The makeup artist must have done it on purpose, she knew Rumo is planning to attend a banquet so she ruined her face!”
- “That’s alright Madam Fan, stop it, perhaps it’s just a misunderstanding…” An Rumo said meekly while covering her face, “I think Shengxia didn’t do it on purpose…”
- “Rumo, you’re being too kind, that’s why you get bullied!” Madam Fan said resentfully, “Young Master Quan, you must speak up for Rumo this time!”
- “Young Master Quan, her name is An Shengxia, she’s a new makeup artist…” His personal assistant reported to him with her head down.
- Her surname is also An? Oh right, she’s An Rumo’s stepsister.
- “Inform the human resources department to fire her.”
- “Erm… Sure!” Although the personal assistant was surprised, she did not pursue further. Regardless of what the president did, he must have his reasons.
- …
- An Shengxia received a phone call from the school as she was preparing to get off work.
- “What? My sons are missing?”
