The security guards, who looked fierce just now, didn’t stop them and made way for them. Obviously, they were quite familiar with the woman.
Seeing the letters at the door, Estelle hesitated for a while, then picked them up and brought them into the lounge.
“Mr. Evans!” The woman called Howard.
At the moment, Howard was sitting at the dresser with a cigarette in his mouth and playing games on his mobile phone. The whole lounge was filled with the sound of the game characters fighting.
With his voice full of impatience, Howard said, “I’ve told you not to bother me countless times. If my fans come, make an excuse and send them away.”
“Mr. Evans, your makeup artist is here.”
Hearing this, Howard stopped playing the game. He snorted and said coldly, “Humph. I’d like to see who the new makeup artist you hired is…”
The next moment, he turned around, and his eyes met Estelle’s. Then, both of them were stunned.
When Howard saw Estelle, he was taken aback. Being choked by the cigarette smoke, he kept coughing.
Estelle was also surprised when she saw him because she found that Howard looked different from before.
She was a designer and was very sensitive to the appearance and shape of everything. Therefore, she could see at a glance that Howard had undergone plastic surgery.
However, the plastic surgery didn’t make him look more handsome. Instead, it made his face a bizarre landscape, and his face was a little swollen.
It could be said that putting makeup on him was a challenge for the makeup artist.
It was not until after a few minutes that Howard stopped coughing. Then, with a darkened face, he asked, “You are my makeup artist?”
“No.”
“Then why are you here? Rebecca asked you to come here?” Howard questioned.
“I want to talk to you,” Estelle stated calmly.
Howard muttered a curse and said, “I know what you want to say. Rebecca has talked about this matter with me. As you can see, I’m a public figure, and many people know me. I won’t agree to your request.”
“There is no room for negotiation, huh?” Estelle asked.
Howard said coldly, “Miss Hudson, my concert is about to begin. For the sake that you are Rebecca’s friend, I will pass over your rude behavior of pretending to be my makeup artist and coming to my lounge to bother me. But don’t come to me and bother me anymore. I have clarified to you before that I don’t want to be involved in anything about that child.”
As soon as he finished his words, the two bodyguards at the door and the staff in the lounge, most of whom were men, seized Estelle up with hostility in their eyes.
Obviously, it was not a good time to negotiate with Howard.
Estelle nodded and replied with a smile, “Sure thing. I’ll head to the auditorium now. Despite knowing you for a while, I’ve never had the chance to hear you sing. I’m eagerly anticipating your performance.”
She then displayed the ticket in her hand to Howard before strolling out of the lounge at a relaxed pace.
Howard’s face was darkened.
Since Estelle had the ticket for the concert, he could drive her out of the lounge but couldn’t drive her out of the stadium.
Estelle proceeded to the stadium entrance, had her tickets validated, and then located her seat. Seated comfortably, she patiently waited for the concert to start.
Due to a potential delay caused by the makeup artist’s absence, the concert was postponed by an hour.
Experiencing a bit of boredom, she retrieved her mobile phone and began scrolling through the company’s most recent financial reports.
After a long time, the concert finally began.
At the center of the stage, Howard, who was standing on the lifting platform, slowly came into view.
The fans were so excited to see him that they kept screaming. Their cheers were so loud that Estelle couldn’t help but frown.
During the intermission, Howard stepped away from the stage to take a break, allowing another celebrity to take the spotlight and perform.
After calculating the time, Estelle quietly left her seat and went to the restroom to wait for Howard.
As expected, after a short break, Howard swiftly made his way back to the stage.
Spotting her, Howard muttered a low curse under his breath.
With her arms extended, Estelle positioned herself in front of the restroom door and spoke, “You’re facing two options here. First, you could go on performing with a bursting bladder. Second, you could talk with me and then take a restroom break.”
Gritting his teeth, Howard glared at her silently.
At the intermission, many audiences would come to the restroom. In addition, there were so many staff coming and going. The others would definitely misunderstand their relationship if they saw the two of them like this.
Thinking about this, Howard growled, “As you can see, I have countless crazy fans now, and they can always know what I do and where I go. How can I have an operation in such a situation? What’s more, I can’t save that child at all.”
“Let me ask you a question. Do you have liver disease?”
“…”
“You do, right? I guessed it right. Christina inherited the liver disease from you.”
Howard sneered and said indifferently, “Yes, she inherited the disease from me. I have a liver disease, so I can’t donate my liver to her. Are you satisfied with my answer? Can you leave now?”
“Christina always says that she misses her dad very much.”
“You can tell her that she doesn’t have a father,” Howard growled.
“I told her that her father is dead,” Estelle said tonelessly.
Upon hearing this, Howard felt a sudden surge of anger. “You…”
****
“Are you satisfied now?” Cristofer asked Mila.
He was uninterested in the performance, while Mila, who sat beside him, was very excited and fixed her eyes on the star.
As Mila was more active than the other fans and shouted and cheered more loudly than them, she attracted the attention of many audiences around her.
Then, the audience noticed Cristofer, who had an outstanding appearance and temperament. Some of them even picked up their mobile phones and secretly took photos of him.
Suppressing the impulse to grab and smash their phones, Cristofer took a deep breath with a deep frown.
Mila had specially dressed up today. With delicate makeup, she was wearing a floral dress and a pair of high heels.
However, she was so plain-looking that even though she had dressed up, she still didn’t look attractive.
Looking in the direction of the stage, she said to Cristofer with a calm look, “Mr. Hans, you promised me that you would accompany me to the concert as long as I agreed to break up with you.”
“I kept my promise and came here with you, didn’t I?”
“But the concert is still going on. It’s not over yet,” Mila retorted.
Not bothering to talk to her anymore, Cristofer stood up speechlessly and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Mila immediately grabbed his wrist to stop him.
With a darkened face, Cristofer shook off her hand and warned coldly, “I’ll give you money as compensation. I’ll give you as much money as you can earn as an influencer.”
