Chapter 47

For their scene, Valerie visited her best friend Cecille to ask for advice. Raviel invited Valerie for a date again. And this time, he promises to make it up for their canceled first date because of his mistake.

Cecille will give a lot of advice to Valerie on how to make herself pretty on their date. She will also lend several of her dresses and shoes to her best friend. Valerie spent their whole day looking for the best outfit for her. Cecille wants her best friend to be happy on her date with Raviel.

Cecille in the girly and cutesy type. To make her best friend more beautiful, she will also teach Valerie how to apply make-up to her face.

They moved their shooting location inside a hotel room that was prepared ahead of time and transformed it into a huge bedroom. There were cute items inside the room like stuff bears and pastel-colored curtains and a bookshelf. They will use that place as Cecille's room.

Francheska saw the staff putting the rack of dresses and several shoe boxes beside the bed. On a bedside table, there was a transparent pouch placed on it. The pouch was full of make-up and brushes inside of it. Tilting her head, Francheska approached staff to ask a question.

"Excuse me. But who prepared the make-up kit that we are going to use later?" Francheska asked.

"Oh. I heard it was Ms. Rachel who provided that make-up kit. One of our staff lost the make-up kit that she prepared onhand for this scene. Then Ms. Rachel accidentally heard her problem. To help her, Ms. Rachel gave her an extra make-up kit as a replacement for the missing kit."

"Oh, I see."

"Why, Ms. Francheska? Is there something wrong?"

"Oh, no. I am just wondering since I saw those cute make-up brushes inside."

"Ah, yes! I saw it too! Those were indeed cute!"

After chatting with the staff, Francheska entered her tent to changed her clothes. Jess carefully wiped Francheska's face with a wet clean towel to remove the light make-up she put earlier. After that, she changed Francheska's hairstyle into a high ponytail.

"There! All done!" Jess happily announced. "Director Cartel told me not to apply any make-up on your face to show Valerie's simplicity in the movie."

The director wants to show in the movie that Valerie is a natural beauty. Even though she prefers to wear baggy or boyish clothes, it does not hide her natural charm.

"But you are really beautiful, Ms. Francheska! I did not apply any make-up on your face, but your beauty is naturally glowing! Maybe the rumors about you being a real goddess are true!"

"Stop exaggerating, Jess." Francheska said with a soft chuckle.

"But what is your secret, Ms. Francheska? Can I also have your beauty secret?"

"Drinking eight glasses of water, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, enough sleep, and eating less junk food are the secrets to have a youthful beauty."

Turning their head, they saw Rissa entering the tent. She was a cup handle with three cups of shake on it. Rissa took the large cup of mango shake before giving the chocolate milkshake to Jess. The last cup contains a banana carrot smoothie. Obviously, that cup belongs to Francheska.

"Why this?" Francheska asked with a pout. "I also want the same flavor with Jess!"

"If you want to run for two hours on the treadmill later, then sure. Exchange your smoothie with Jess." Rissa reminded her.

"This is bullying!" Francheska complained before she started her smoothie.

Rissa ignored her complaint and sit beside Jess.

"So? Are you ready to have a scene with your dear ex-stepsister?" Rissa suddenly asked.

Francheska did not answer her, but the confident smile on her pretty face is an obvious answer to her question.

"Uhm... I know I am stepping on my boundary, but... Is it true that you and Ms. Rachel are related?" Jess timidly asked.

"Yup. Cheska and that bitch became stepsister for almost three years." It was Rissa who answered her question.

"Oh. But is it also true they have a harmonious relationship?"

"What do you think, Jess?" Francheska asked. "Do you think we have a close relationship too?"

Jess shook her head.

"If it's true, then you should have mentioned her in one of your posts or interviews before." Jess explained. "Before I graduated, I tried to focus on the latest news in the showbiz industry and I noticed that Ms. Rachel is just using your name to gather the media's attention."

"..."

"Pft..."

Then Rissa and Francheska suddenly laughed when they heard her explanation.
