Since Selene was promoting the makeup brand, she was restricted to using only their products. This was why Allison hadn’t brought her own makeup. All of Selene’s makeup equipment was already set up by the crew in front of her vanity mirror each day she had a scene.


    "What happened to this foundation, did it fall or something?" Allison mumbled as she tried to smoothen out the content inside with a makeup brush.


    Allison dropped it to take another foundation since the first one had weird lumps inside.


    Selene picked up the foundation and frowned deeply when she saw the lumps inside the foundation.


    Instinctively, she brought the foundation to her nostril to take a sniff. Instantly, she checked the level of preservatives used in making the foundation.


    Before signing a contract with the makeup brand that owned the product in her hand, Selene had informed them too many preservatives in her makeup products could trigger her allergy and make her face red and puffy. They listened to her and reduced the amount of preservatives in their makeup products for her.


    The container of the foundation was the same as the brand, but definitely, it wasn’t their product that was inside the container. The content inside had been switched.


    Allison took out another bottle of foundation and discovered the same peculiar lumps inside. This indicated that someone had reced the original foundation with another brand, which contained a higher level of preservatives.


    Selene didn’t have any allergies to high preservatives, but Anastasia did. Which also meant the person who switched it doubted she was Anastasia.


    Selene grinned when she had an idea who could have done such a thing.


    "Don’t use the foundations, Allison. I have cosmetic powder. You can use that instead," she said to Allison.


    Thetter held a confused expression, wondering if any of the crew had broken the foundation or something. Unfortunately, she didn’te with her makeup kit so they had to settle for Selene’s cosmetic powder.


    Fortunately, Selene had pale, clear skin with not a single pimple in sight.


    In ten minutes, Allison was done. Since they had to settle for just cosmetic powder, Selene’s face looked natural, with a little eye makeup and a red tint on her lips.


    Selene walked out of the makeup room after appreciating Allison and Natalie for their job well done.

    When her scene was finished, everyone congratted Selene for her performance. Despite still being wounded, she did her best.


    Kael handed her a bottle of water to cool her down from the scorching hot sun she’d been under for the past two hours.


    "Where were you? I didn’t see you when I arrived," she asked Kael as she sipped from her water.


    "I just arrived a few minutes ago," he replied as he stared down at her, still baffled that the person before him was his elder sister.


    Now that he took a closer look at her, he saw the simrities she had with their father and elder brother. They were the only ones who had their father’s eyes. While he and Tracie shared their mother’s brown eyes.


    He regretted hating her the first day they met when she didn’t do anything wrong to him, even though she shared an intimate rtionship with Xavier Wace.


    "What?" Selene asked when she noticed how long Kael was staring at her without saying a word.


    "Nothing!" He tore his gaze from her.


    ’Am I supposed to call her sis? Or...’ He wondered.


    Selene frowned. "You seem to be thinking about something. Need help?"


    "Not at all, sis."


    Kael stiffened when he realized what he’d just called Selene. Since his mind was still contemting what he should address Selene with, he mistakenly spewed out what he was thinking.


    "Sis? When did I be your sister?" She asked, with a teasing smile on her lips. She did consider Kael as her younger brother, but she didn’t expect him to call her sister.


    "That was a slip of the tongue. Having you as a sister would be more of a torture than a blessing," he teased back, hoping she would drop the topic. He was starting to sweat buckets already.


    ’If Selene found out she is a rk from me, Kiel would murder me,’ he thought to himself.


    Selene pinched him at the side, before ruffling his hair.


    "Hey! FYI I’m a blessing," she snorted.


    Selene’s eyes caught sight of a familiar figure, although she only saw the person’s back. When the person turned to face her, she smiled warmly before they exited the setpletely.
