Marshall paused and said, “I know a wonderful makeup artist who can give you a touch-up if you’re worried about being recognized. He’s so good that even your acquaintances won’t be able to recognize you if they were standing right in front of you.”
Stella was speechless. ‘You really thought of everything, huh?’ she thought. She would not hesitate to help Marshall if he had asked her for help with something else. After all, he had been a great help to her in dealing with her mom’s funeral and her lawsuits with Albert after her divorce. However, she felt that pretending to be his girlfriend was a little out of her morals since she was already seeing someone.
“I still don’t think it’s a good idea. Why don’t I… hire a one-day girlfriend for you online?”
Initially, Stella wanted to ask Felicity to be Marshall’s date. But, she knew that Felicity would reject the offer because she had been getting along with Corbin pretty well recently. Moreover, Marshall was a lousy actor. He would always expose himself before anyone else could ask about it whenever he got nervous.
Marshall paused and pursed his lips before he said, “Didn’t you help Vermont out in a similar situation? Why can’t you do the same for me?”
Stella froze for a moment and realized that Marshall was referring to the bachelor party in the bar last time. She put her hand on her forehead and said, “He paid me to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done such a thing.”
“How much?” Marshall asked. “Can you do this for me if I pay you? Just name your price.”
Stella was at a loss for words. She could rip off Vermont but not Marshall since he had done a lot to help her. ‘I must return him the favor,’ she thought.
Stella hesitated for a while and said, “Wait here. I’ll make a call and ask my manager if there’s anything else going on tonight.”
Marshall nodded his head.
Stella then went to the side with her phone and immediately dialed Keegan’s number. Keegan was on a return flight from a business trip. The flight got delayed, so his phone was still off.
After two to three calls, Stella had no choice but to send him a text message to tell him about the situation. Before she could finish typing, Marshall came over and asked, “What did your manager say?”
“I can help you, but I wouldn’t be able to stay for long,” Stella put her phone away and replied.
Marshall’s expression eased up, and he warmly said, “You just have to stay there long enough to make him put off the introduction.”
Stella left with Marshall after work. He first took her to the makeup artist he mentioned earlier and gave her a disguise. The makeup artist’s work was so exquisite that even Stella could not recognize herself. Her eye shape had been elongated and her features were now different from her own. Although, they were still a little recognizable. Her strong jawline had been smoothened out into an oval-shaped face, which made her look more feminine. The fake mole on the corner of her lip added a little more charm to her entire look.
Stella had never tried prosthetic makeup before, so she was amazed by the makeup artist’s techniques. Tm literally a different person. With that kind of skill, I can have a brand-new face per day for 365 days.’
Stella glanced up at Marshall to ask him how she looked but saw that he was already staring at her in the mirror.
