Chapter 1026
Zach’s assistant posted some good news in the group, and Celeste checked it out before lining up for makeup touch–ups.
The next scene was a group scene with her, Leonard, Sydney, and others.
Since no costume change was needed, makeup touch–ups were done on location.
The lead actors had their own makeup artists, while Celeste queued with the other actors for the same makeup artist. There were supposed to be two, but one had taken leave due to personal issues
With only one makeup artist, the wait was lengthy
Leonard’s makeup artist was applying contour to his face with a brush.
Leonard’s face was always tilted to one side, and the makeup artist had to follow his movement to apply contour, repeating the process several times.
The makeup artist wasn’t happy about it but didn’t dare say anything.
The agent looked in the direction Leonard’s face was tilted and sure enough, Celeste was standing there, checking her phone.
Since they were getting touch–ups on location, everyone was standing Celeste was in heels because of the scene and her feet were starting to ache from standing too long. She had to change positions now and then to give her feet a break
The agent turned back to the makeup artist, “Are you done with the touch–ups?”
“Almost”
Leonard had a perfect face shape that required little enhancement. But because his character was in his forties for this scene, they used contour to create the look
of age.
The director originally wanted to cast an age–appropriate actor for the middle–aged period of Leonard’s character
But Leonard insisted on performing it himself. Javier praised his passion and conviction, which the agent found laughable!
He just wanted more scenes with Celeste. After this drama, he would move on to the next project and who knew when they would meet again.
However, while his motive was to have more scenes with Celeste, his performance as a middle–aged man was impressive. That’s star power, right?
The agent wasn’t worried about Leonard and Celeste sparking any rumors. From his observation, his goddess probably didn’t fancy him.
If she had to choose between Liam and a young, handsome idol, he knew what her choice would be.
But helping Leonard establish some rapport with his goddess was always good. If Mr. Reed was pleased and gave Leonard more endorsements, his salary would also increase, right?
So, he asked Leonard, “How about we call over Ms. Campbell and let Andie give her a makeup touch–up?”
Leonard gave a “Meh, saying, “Whatever.”
The agent raised an eyebrow, thinking Leonard was being a bit prissy.
“If you don’t want to, that’s fine. After all, she’s your personal makeup artist”
Leonard’s heart raced and he flipped the agent the bird.
The agent chuckled and said nothing, then turned to find Celeste
The high heels were killing Celeste’s toes. Her weight kept shifting between her feet as she waited, bored out of her skull, she couldn’t help but text Liam for some entertainment
She found a picture online of toes squished out of high heels and sent it to Liam with a message, “Check out my new shoes.”
Liam was discussing some improvements for the blueprint with Owen when Celeste’s message popped up on his phone
Owen tried to look away but Liam beat him to it and opened the message.
Then Owen saw the picture of the squished toes sticking out of the high heels and almost burst out laughing.
