-There’s really no need, thank you. Anna lowered it with embarrassment, and lowered her head without saying anything to the makeup artist. She obviously felt shy about this.
-You are so sentimental. You become so shy just because I ask you this, how can you win from Mr. Matteo if you always feel veracious?
-… Anna raised her eyes to meet Clare’s, -Actually. I wasn’t shy at all when I was chasing him before. No, I should be shy, but -I’m not.
Probably because the brave one was not afraid at first. She felt she could sacrifice everything, until she was rejected many times and gradually lost hope.
Shyness is a normal reaction, but at that moment she would be brave and do it by obeying what she wanted in her heart.
Unlike today, worry and fear were the main emotions, and what she thought in her heart she had ignored.
-But what?
-Anna shook her head. It was obvious that her interest waned at that moment. Chiara saw his dejected look, reached out and patted her shoulder, -It’s okay. The past is in the past, now is now. The future will be bright and there are still many opportunities and time waiting for you.
The encouraging effect of these words was very strong. Anna repeated them again and again in her heart, and finally smiled.
-All right!
The girl in front of Clare regained her vitality again, -Right. When you participate later, you should be as happy as you are now.
-Thank you, Clare.
Anna’s skin was so beautiful that the makeup artist finished the job very easily and praised her after finishing the makeup.
-This lady has perfect skin. I have been a makeup artist for many years, and I have seen few people who also have beautiful skin. I don’t bother to put makeup on them at all, and there is no need to put much foundation on the face either.
Being praised by the makeup artist, Anna smiled shyly at him.
Every time he saw Anna, the makeup artist thought she was more affectionate than before, and he almost couldn’t help touching her hair, but considering that he had just finished her hairstyle, he would have to do it again if she messed it up, so he didn’t.
By the time the two of them left, night had fallen, the whole city had not been engulfed in darkness, but had been illuminated in the night by lights.
-Perfect, you are beautiful. At the very least, you should be the most dazzling woman tonight.
Anna, who was already nervous enough to take a deep breath, almost choked when she heard these words.
-What? The most dazzling?
-Of course you will be. Chiara jokingly looked at her through the rearview mirror: -Don’t you think you look great?
-… Yes, but -I have a certain self-consciousness.
She knew her face well and she was not a pretty person, how could she dazzle everyone? Besides, she didn’t want to dazzle anyone. If everyone stared at her, she would feel uncomfortable.
However, Anna was relieved when she thought that this could not happen because of her average appearance.
Instead, Clare seemed to be convinced. When Anna breathed a sigh of relief on her part, Clare replied, “Then it is possible that you have an error in your self-awareness. Although you don’t have very beautiful facial features, believe me, your vitality is quite dazzling. And you underestimate Mr. Matteo’s charm. He has been single for many years, and has rejected celebrities for many reasons. Fortunately, he has had no partner by his side all these years, otherwise it is possible that those women who were rejected by him would have swooped in and killed his current partner.
Would they have killed his current partner?
Anna’s back felt cold and she sat up straight, looking at Clare without moving, thinking about the scene she was talking about in her mind.
So, the reason she was going to dazzle everyone tonight was not because of the way she looked or the skirt she wore, but because…. she would be next to Matthew?
If that was the reason, did it make sense, and would there be a 99. 9 percent chance that she would become the center of attention, because Matthew was the center of attention, and she was by his side?
Did Anna suddenly regret having promised to attend the party as his date?
At that moment alone, she did not know what to do, and she wanted to run away unconsciously, not thinking at all about repelling fear.
-Why are you afraid? Chiara looked at her and asked gracefully.
Anna did not speak.
-What are you afraid of? If you like him, you must have the courage to stand by his side, right?
Anna immediately raised her head.
-If you don’t have the ability to stand firmly by his side, how can you become his wife?
-But… Anna bit her lower lip with some uncertainty, -I think I am vulgar, … I am not good enough to be his worthy companion.
-What is the basis for being a suitable mate? Same family background? Appearance? Or personality? In my opinion, it is none of these, but that you are in love, and have the courage to overcome all difficulties. Although in reality the world is cruel, we have to face it. To be honest, I have been married for many years, and since qunado I met my husband, I feel that I still believe in love.
-Great. Anna felt admiration for her from the bottom of her heart.
-You will have this day too, believe in yourself.
She had to say that Clare was really a loving person.
After arriving at the party venue, Chiara left the car with Anna. Because she was wearing high-heeled shoes, it was a bit uncomfortable for Anna to walk. She remembered that she had gone to visit clients with Matthew last time wearing high-heeled shoes, and they did not fit her well, so she had worn out her heels and her feet had been aching for several days.
But at that moment, it was her heart that ached the most.
-Well… Chiara… Anna followed Chiara hesitantly, -Is this the place for the party?
-Yes.
Anna thought, -But why don’t I see Matteo? Is he already inside? Isn’t he waiting for me?”
Thinking about this, Anna felt a little disappointed.
-Are you very disappointed? Clare’s voice sounded in the next door.
Anna immediately restored her original expression and shook her head, -No.
As if nothing had happened.
Although she was a little disappointed, she was still very happy. After all, Matthew had invited her to the party as his companion, which was already a first step.
She just needed to make more efforts in the future.
-Why don’t you look toward the entrance?
The entrance?
Anna looked around for a while, and then saw a crowded place where a red carpet had been rolled out. Countless people were passing by and had to hand in their invitations when they entered.
At that moment, there was a tall and beautiful figure who appeared at the entrance, standing in the crowd, very prominent.
Matthew.
Anna felt as if her heart had been hit hard by something. Her Iris lips parted. She was so excited that she almost shouted his name right away.
But she soon realized that there were many people present, so she did not call his name.
-Are you still disappointed now? Matthew came out just to wait for you.//
