After changing her clothes, Ellinor walked out and Sheila bit back her laughter She had picked out a particularly plain floral dress for Ellinor that made her look like a country bumpkin Ellinor was stunningly beautiful, even without makeup. Her complexion was clear, radiant, and flawless Sheila worried that if she didnât tone down Ellinorâs image a bit, she might steal her thunder at the upcoming party and even attract the attention of more nobles and wealthy merchants Sheila had always been jealous of Ellinorâs beauty, but seeing her now in a plain dress like a country girl, she felt somewhat relieved. She mockingly complimented âWell, you donât look half bad! This is the dress I specially picked for you. Wear it to the party with me!â
Ellinor walked up to the mirror and took a look, âThanks, I think it looks pretty goodâ
The makeup artist next to them started to chuckle, whispering to Sheila, âSheila, she actually thinks she looks good!â
Sheila laughed lightly. âShe grew up in the countryside. Her taste is naturally like this. Give her simple makeup, nothing too flashy, or itâll be embarrassing for me!â
âDonât worry, Sheila, I know what to do!â
The makeup artist smirked and started doing Ellinorâs makeup with a mischievous attitude.
To please Sheila, she braided Ellinorâs hair into two braids and added lots of freckles and blush to her face for a more homely look.
Sheila was very satisfied with the result. Ellinor now looked like a country girl and no man would give her a second glance Pearl Moon Pearl Moon was a topânotch urban estate in the country. Only the most prominent families with status, position, and power could Rost parties here.
Even if ordinary rich businessmen were willing to pay a lot of money, they couldnât host parties here.
Ordinary people couldnât even step foot here in their lifetime.
The receptionist was at the entrance of the banquet hall, welcoming each guest with a smile Sheila, dressed in a borrowed highâend custom black evening gown, confidently walked over and handed over her invitation.
âWelcome, Ms Mendoza Please come inâ
The receptionist smiled and led the way, but stopped Ellinor, who was following behind her, âMalam, you canât come in!â
Ellinor raised an eyebrow and explained, âIâm with Ms. Mendozaâ
The receptionist looked skeptical at Ellinorâs humble outfit and didnât seem to believe her, âIâm sorry, this is not a place where you can just walk in. Please leave now, or Ill have to call security!â
Sheila watched as Ellinor was dismissed and blocked by the receptionist. After feeling satisfied, she arrogantly lifted her chin, saying as if she were doing her a favor, âDonât worry, let her in with me. Sheâs my assistant; she needs to be with meâ
The receptionist blinked, looked back at Sheila, then skeptically glanced at Ellinor again and thought, how could the elegantly dressed Ms Mendoza have such a plainly dressed assistant?
âOh⦠I see!â The receptionist apologized to Sheila with a smile, but her attitude towards Ellinor was still not friendly, âSince youâre with Ms. Mendoza, you can go in.â
Ellinor gave the receptionist a nonchalant look and calmly followed Sheila in The banquet hall was magnificent and glorious, with renowned musicians playing elegant piano music.
All the furnishings were filled with exclusive, aristocratic luxury This was Sheilaâs first time at the legendary Pearl Moon, she had only heard about it and never had the chance to see it before Today, she finally got the chance, and the grandeur of Pearl Moon far surpassed her imagination.
She had acted as a rich girl in her previous plays and the crew would rent highâend hotels for the set, but compared to this real highâend banquet, that was childâs play!
Sheila composed herself after her initial shock, realizing she had overreacted, and quickly put on a calm and composed expression as if she were used to such grandeur Seeing Ellinor also stunned, she immediately mocked her, âLook at you, all stunned Scared silly, arenât you? Ellinor, if it wasnât for me, you would never get to experience such highâend events in your life!â
Ellinor just smiled and didnât say anything She was just thinking about the time when a certain man had forcefully brought her here for an engagement, and her freedom was gone for three months, making her feel a bit melancholic
