The makeup artist was really happy to reunite with Xia Lihua after so long. "It's so nice to see you again, Sister Li! I never thought I'd have the chance to work with you after all this time."
"It's really a small world."
Their cheerful reunion created a stark contrast to the tense atmosphere around Yu Beiye and Xia Liyan. While they kept seething in anger silently, the friendly conversation between Xia Lihua and the makeup artist didn't go unnoticed. It really grated their nerves.
But they held back their tongue.
Yu Beiye thought that as a senior in the industry, she had already embarrassed herself enough. If she kept bickering with these younger participants, it would only make her seem petty. Worse, if word got out, she'd become the subject of gossip.
Deciding it was best to walk away, Yu Beiye turned to Xia Liyan and said, "We should go. It's almost time."
