The president looked at her mother who was filled with joy in seeing the girl again.
She told her about a beautiful and talented girl she saw last time. She was caring and loving towards her daughter. She said even though she was covered in paint all over her; she did not care at all nor did she look like a mess. Her beautiful skin complimented well with the different colored paint.
Witnessing with her own eyes as the girl walked closer towards them, she now understands why her mother has insisted to look for her. Unexpectedly, who would have thought that she would audition for their product?
"Miss Li Zi, welcome…" The woman greeted her. "I'm President Mu, owner of Perfect, this is my mother..." she pointed to the woman beside her.
"Hello…"
Elizabeth responded with a sweet and genuine smile making her even more adorable causing the men in the room to focus their eyes on her, leaving them in a state of bewilderment.
"So director what you think?" Elder Madam Mu asked seeing the man was totally in a daze by the girl's charm.
The man snaps back to his senses when the woman beside him poke him.
"Perfect!"
"Just perfect, what more can you ask for."
President Mu felt like killing the man hearing his ridiculous answer, the girl's beauty has bewitched the man. For sure he won't be able to recall what they were supposed to do next.
"Anyway, Miss Li Zi… for you what does perfect mean?" President Mu asked, seeing the man has forgotten everything.
Everyone focus their eyes on the girl who stood quietly in the middle as she thought of the question. It didn't even take a minute or so when she answered, "Simply, nothing and no one is perfect."
They were all confused with what she was trying to express.
"What do you mean?" The director asked curiously as to why she answered that way.
"Let me explain it then Director… When I said nothing, or no one is perfect, I simply mean there is no such thing as perfect. However, we can still be captivating or mesmerizing in one's eye. Just like this sweater I'm wearing, it's no longer perfect since it messy however if a person wears it and presented it will, it simply looked perfect on her."
"Just like our skin. No one has perfect skin since we all have different skin colors. However, no matter what color it might be, one can always be mesmerizing in others' eyes."
The old lady seated at the edge of the table clap after hearing what the girl said. "You're completely right."
"Let me tell you a story of a beautiful woman, who was cursed because of her unique skin which we called now Vitiligo."
"Because of this woman's unique skin, people around her during those times were too frightened to look at her. Worried that it might be contagious."
"One day, the woman started mixing some herbs and oil, then she rubs it onto her skin day and night. Till one day, the people around her notice something different about her. Despite her unique skin, for some reason, she was glowing and pleasing in their eyes. Because everyone finally accepted her, it boosted her confidence to live life and as a result, we are here right now."
"Your mother was indeed a beautiful woman Elder Madam Mu since you and your daughter's existence is the living proof."
Her words made everyone in the room heartfelt warm and pleasant, it was not as if she was trying to please them, but she was just simply telling them the truth.
"Give Miss Li Zi a towel to clean herself…"
It was also part of the audition as well to see if the person is beautiful from just a simple wipe from the towel.
As the man handed a wet towel for her to clean her face, they soon saw the gem coming out of a rock. As she removed all the paint on her face, her true beauty soon appeared in front of them all.
"Thank you…"
Elizabeth spoke in a gentle tone as she looked at the boy holding the towels for her. Who froze on the spot since he was too close and fascinated by her. "Are you alright?"
The man just runs off to the corner as he catches his breath after running away from her. Everyone else found the situation amusing but no one dare laughed.
Everyone no longer doubted the president after they have witnessed the young girl true beauty and presence. Her aura felt so noble and elegant, just what they were looking for.
Elder Madam Mu was so happy to see the young woman again and could no longer keep to herself. "Miss Li Zi may I ask, how's your daughter?"
Everyone was shocked, while others were heart broken. They were upset thinking of the fact that the woman was taken...
'She already has a child.'
'What the Goddess has a daughter?'
"I don't have a daughter yet Elder Madam Mu."
Hear words were like heaven and hell to others confused if whether she was telling the truth or lying to them.
"Now child, it's not right to lie to your elder."
"But I am telling the truth…"
Elder Madam Mu became confused because she was sure of what she saw then. "Then who was the child with you yesterday?"
Elizabeth thought hard if she has bumped into Elder Madam Mu yesterday but could not recall at all but she did spend time yesterday with Little Yan. So the child she must be referring to must be her.
"That is not my child, but my friends."
"Was the man her father?" Elder Madam Mu curiously asked.
"Yes."
"Are you two dating?"
"Oh no... Elder Madam Mu, he won't like someone like me who is just living a simple life…"
Elder Madam Mu did not ask her any further questions. But she has lived a long life and she clearly saw that day that the relationship between her and the man was not simple.
'My dear child, you really are blessed with such beauty that a man cares for you so much. Even his own daughter likes you a lot.'
