Mrs. Louis, let&#8217;s put on makeup now. It&#8217;s almost late.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The makeup artist and the stylist are indeed the best in the city.

With so many people here, can&#8217;t he behave himself?<\/p>\n<p>Frances quickly strides out, closing the door on the way.<\/p>\n<p>I look at the makeup artist and the stylist. Both of them have suppressed smiles on their faces.<\/p>\n<p>The more I look at them, the more embarrassed I feel. I simply close my eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.<\/p>\n<p>But I don&#8217;t expect that I would fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, someone pats me on the shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jane, wake up.
