Rika had not even stepped into the make-up section, but she could feel the stench of money reaching toward her.
This makeup session would cost a lot of money and maybe even a favor or two for their side. But Ren Li, seemingly unconcerned about the cost, did not seem to mind as he handed Rika over to the beauticians without a single word.
"Get her ready before the 'real' party begins. I will wait here for you until this is done."
Ren Li sat down in front of the beauticians.
She could tell that the older workers did not seem to like Ren Li's decisions, but they decided not to say anything.
Their touch remained professional, but Rika could feel their attempt to get frisky with her a few times.
As soon as someone even tried to break the professional etiquette, Ren Li's glare set them straight, and they did not try that again.
