Chapter 1
Kahlil
"We're going out in 1 hour"
Kahlil said as Aria spared him a glance from the mirror.
The makeup artist was taking longer than usual to do her makeup and Aria was getting tired of it.
She replied as her gaze snapped at the reflection of the petite young woman, Aria recently hired as her makeup artist
Aria Leighton
"I would have been prepared before time if my staff didn't take this much time"
The girl flinched as her eyes met Aria's
Nina (Makeup artist)
"I-I am sorry mam, but I got an order from the organizers that you need to look perfect for the e-event"
Aria Leighton
"Isn't it your job to get me ready before ti-"
Kahlil interjected as Aria looked at his reflection in anger.
But his hard glare made her shut up and looked down while heaving out a sigh.
Aria Leighton
"I'm sorry Nina"
Nina (Makeup artist)
"I-It's ok mam"
She breathed out as Aria offered her a small smile before looking at herself again while pointing at her eyes, silently ordering Nina to do her eyes now which Nina instantly obliged.
Minutes passed as Kahlil sat on a spare chair while they could hear announcements and performances just a little far away.
He clicked his tongue while continuously tapping his feet on the ground.
Aria's gaze dropped to his feet as she rolled her eyes.
Aria Leighton
"Will you stop it? It's not my first time performing in front of thousands you know"
Kahlil
"This event is important for our reputation. Hotshots from all around the world are coming here, one wrong performance and we will be ruined"
He said as Aria stared at her reflection with no emotion.
Nina (Makeup artist)
"I even heard that many top Mafias are attending this because they have a meeting after this"
Nina said in a hushed whisper while setting Aria's thick blonde hair up in a stylish bun.
Aria's face broke down in a painful scowl as Kahlil took a step forward, examining her expression.
Kahlil
"Ms Nina, we would appreciate it if you just did your job"
He warned as Nina quickly nodded and speeded up.
Nina (Makeup artist)
"Yes sir"
She replied while Aria held a dazed look, not saying a single word after.
