Yelena said, “I want a drastically unattractive look. Hideous, but still natural. The more unappealing, the better p>
If Bernice had been present, she’d have been astounded by Yelena’s audacious strategy. Sometimes, simplicity struck the hardest. Outlandish unattractiveness often repelled observers.

She feared that knowing him might complicate her feelings. Yelena was determined to resolve this quickly.
