Chapter 840:
“Okay, but at least let me come with you when you go,” Brody said with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.
Yelena gave him a speechless look, frustrated by everyone’s curiosity. “I’m not just being nosy. I’ve never seen you this worried, and I’m curious about who could cause such a reaction,” Brody explained.
Yelena raised an eyebrow, challenging him. “Which eye of yours saw me looking worried p>
“Both p>
“Buzz off p>
Just then, Emily approached, stepping through the doorway. Overhearing Yelena, she quickly stepped back, apologizing. “S-sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt p>
Yelena quickly reassured her. “Sorry, I wasn’t talking to you. Are you p>
“Yes p>
Yelena returned to her seat in front of Emily, who began by removing the initial makeup before applying the new look.
As time passed, Emily completed her task without Yelena noticing the transformation.
Brody, catching the first glimpse of Yelena’s new look, exclaimed in shock.
“Oh my gosh! Yelena, you really do look hideous now p>
He thought to himself that if he hadn’t been present throughout the process, he might have mistaken her for someone else entirely. Yelena was startled by the sound of Brody’s voice. Turning to the mirror, her shock deepened at the sight of her reflection.
Her right cheek bore a horrific scar, reminiscent of a severe burn, spanning much of her face. The left side was no less disturbing. Her left eye seemed swollen and obstructed, and the cracked, peeling skin added a grotesque texture to her appearance. Adding to the bizarre look, buck teeth protruded from her slightly open mouth.
Yelena turned to Emily and said, “Emily, you could totally work as a special effects artist. This makeup is incredibly realistic. I’m very satisfied p>
Seeing Yelena’s approval, Emily sighed in relief.
“We’ll stick to this look then. I’ll come straight to you once I’m about to meet that guy,” Yelena said.
Blushing, Emily responded, “Sure, anytime p>
As Yelena left the building, she walked past two familiar figures without noticing them, absorbed in arranging a meeting via her phone with the man from Kheley she was supposed to meet.
The man seemed to have been anticipating Yelena’s message, as he responded almost immediately after she sent it. Yelena smirked upon reading the quick reply.
“That’s odd. Why would Yelena be coming out of DY Group?” Bella wondered aloud. “Could it be that the Harris Group has a project with them p>
Jarvis scoffed. “Yelena? Handling projects with DY Group? Doubtful. She was probably just using their facilities p>
Bella chuckled and said, “Jarvis, you always crack me up p>
Dismissing the thought of Yelena, Jarvis grimaced. “Let’s not talk about her. Just seeing her ruins my appetite p>
