Megan heard the sounds of footsteps resounding from outside.
“Yes. I’m at her place now. I’ll personally send her over,” Jimmy said as he knocked on the door and
entered.
He was stunned in place with just a single glance at Megan. “Are you… Megan?” he stuttered, his voice
laced with confusion and hesitation.
Megan couldn’t blame him for doubting her identity. She was much skinnier than before, and she was
wearing a mask. She was also breathtakingly beautiful after putting on the entire costume. In fact, it was
possible that even Selena wouldn’t be able to recognize her when she was dressed like this.
She turned around and nodded helplessly when she noticed the bewildered look on Jimmy’s face.
“It’s me,” she said. “Let’s go.”
Jimmy nodded numbly, his heart hammering in his chest. Megan was already pretty before, but she was
astoundingly beautiful at that moment. The beauty she possessed from before was laced with gentleness
while her beauty now had an aggressive edge to it.
Belatedly, he grabbed a long coat and draped it over Megan’s shoulders. He then supported her as they
exited the building and got into the van.
The makeup artist was already waiting in the van. She helped Megan apply press–on nails as well as
choose high heels and other accessories that suited her dress.
The van sped along on the road, bringing them to “Celestial Voice’s” live studio.
Meanwhile, another van was also heading toward the live studio. Alyssa was seated inside as she told
the makeup artist to make her look like a sickly and broken beauty. As the makeup artist got to work, Alyssa called Howard.
“Howard, it’s me, Alyssa,” she said with a smile. “That’s right. Today’s the first live broadcast. You have to
show up at the venue, alright? I’ve already saved a seat for you. Yes, they’re taking good care of me
because of you, Howard. I know what you’ve done for me, so I’ll give the best performance later.”
After Alyssa hung up, she typed out a message that read, “Howard is going to be there today. Get the
subsequent materials ready.”
A satisfied smile stretched across her lips when she received a reply that read, “Okay.”
Megan and the others were waiting backstage in “Celestial Voice’s” live studio when the raucous sounds of a commotion suddenly erupted. A few seconds later, she saw Alyssa appear with her assistant in tow.
Everyone present was their respective companies‘ main singers, so they had been briefed by their
Chapter 29
superiors that Alyssa was the one person they couldn’t afford to cross. It was also why the moment she appeared, everyone stood up to greet her.
“Ms. Hardin!”
“Aly!”
“Nice to meet you, Aly!”
