Chapter 138
“Plus, those sequins might give you a slightly subdued look. We can replace them with feathers and
attach them to the corners of your eyes, along with a touch of golden powder.” Pearl explained while
working swiftly to complete Esther’s makeup.
When she was finished, the nearby makeup artists were left astounded. They had never seen Esther in
this light before.
Esther had always been labeled as a Barbie, and it was the first time they saw such a fairylike side to
her.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Esther gaped in silence.
“You’re so good at it.” Esther, who had a somewhat childish disposition, blurted out her thoughts.
“Do you like it?” Pearl picked up a small golden ring and placed it on Esther’s head. “Don’t you look just

“Yeah, I look just like a fairy. Pearl, I didn’t expect you to have such amazing makeup skills.” Esther
blushed, feeling remorseful for doubting Pearl earlier. “I’m sorry for what I said earlier…”
“It’s okay.” Pearl chuckled. “I’m glad you like it.”
Suddenly, an idea popped into Esther’s head. “Why don’t you be my makeup artist? You get only a few
ten thousand dollars at Waldorf Enterprises a year, but I can pay you a few hundred thousand dollars.
What do you think?”
Pearl found Esther rather cute and straightforward. “Are you that rich?”
“Yeah, I can afford it, even though I’m not very popular.”
Laughing, Pearl said, “Okay, let’s stop there. I’ll go put on my makeup first. We can chat more after the
shoot.”
For the first time, Pearl adopted a different style, abandoning her usual innocent and cute appearance.
She donned a dark, form-fitting dress and applied heavier makeup.
Unexpectedly, this look suited her well and made her very attractive.
Standing outside and waiting for her, Richard was struck dumb when he saw her. At first, he had
concerns about Pearl adjusting to this look, but he hadn’t anticipated her looking this stunning.
“Eh, what’s wrong?” Pearl smiled because of Richard’s stunned expression. “Is my makeup bad? I did
it myself, and I’m afraid I’m not as good as the professional makeup artists here…”
“How could you call that bad? Pearl, the makeup artists here didn’t do half as good as you did.” Hanzel
couldn’t stop praising Pearl earnestly.
Looking down, Pearl smiled. “You flatter me.”
“You’re so pretty, Pearl!” Esther leaped off her chair.
The black dress complemented Pearl flawlessly, with only a few small diamonds adorning the corners
of her eyes. She exuded a captivating charm.

the ad.”
While Esther was filled with admiration for Pearl’s stunning appearance, she also felt a sense of
humility.
Amused, Pearl affectionately pinched Esther’s soft cheek. “Stop overthinking. The makeup I did for you
is very pretty too. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of fans. Besides, I’m not part of the entertainment industry.
Just
relax.”
Her words filled Esther with pure joy. Esther lifted her chin and said smugly, “Well, yeah. I’m Barbie.”
Pearl suddenly realized that Esther wasn’t as mean as she initially thought. Instead, she was simply
straightforward and honest, especially when compared to others in the entertainment industry who
often beat around the bush.
“Yeah, Barbie. Shall we proceed with the shoot?”
Esther held Pearl’s hand. “Let’s go.”
