After a little rest, I gathered myself and sat before the dressing table.
"Well… at first and at second glance… this girl is average. I hadn't been an idol in my previous life either, but Ashley… she is really a gray little mouse… she has such an average face that even I would forget her after a meeting. "
I grabbed my head… if I just think about how the author described Kelsey as a divine beauty… I guessed it wouldn't be easy for me.
"But let's save what can be saved! This hair… actually… groomed after all, if I cut back the strands hanging from the long eyes, I can highlight the shape of the face quite well with a suitable bangs… it also covers this ugly high forehead. Then let's just see… after all, the face isn't that bad either. With a little blush and foundation, I can make this pale skin look like a living person… non-existent lashes with some spiral… um… is there even makeup in this world? "
I looked around better, but there was only one comb on the table.
"Shit… I'm not a stylist, but because of Hayley I was forced to be informed about trends, what make up is right, what fits my figure, my hair, etc.… I can even carve an attractive woman out of this body, but without makeup it's impossible!"
I called Letty in a little panic. While each member of the house usually had a 4 personal maid, only Letty remained next to Ashley. She, too, was only by her side because she saved her from the streets years ago ... so the young maid sweared eternal allegiance to her, despite her low pay and constant humiliation.
"Letty, there are makeup tools in the house, right? And I should have a scissor too… "
"Um… You don't have makeup tools because you never needed it… but we can shop in town if you want."
She answered the surprising question.
"When will Christian get here?"
"Mr. Mcrowan? "
"Yes, him."
I waved as if it didn't matter what the guy's name was, but it was clear from Letty's reaction that Ashley had spoken of him so respectfully so far, that she didn't even dare to talk about the boy on his first name.
"The scheduled meeting is in 1 hour. At 3 o'clock, as always. "
"Ah… we do not have time to shop…"
I chewed the tip of my finger and then i found something interesting on the maid's face.
"Letty, are you wearing make up?"
"Oh… yes, it's a cheaper mascara… don't be mad Miss I…"
She tried to defend herself as if it were a sin, that she doesn't want to be ugly… with this straw-colored hair and willow eyes… she wasn't an ugly little girl, it's just… only poverty screamed about her.
" This will be good! Bring all your makeup stuff here! Find a scissor too! "
"Here?"
"Bring it! We're running out of time! "
"Yes!"
While the girl was running for the requested accessories, I walked over to the closet.
"Oh my God… just like the uniform of a funeral company…"
The supply was deplorable. Almost all of them were heavy velvet dress … the lightest color is poison green…
"Ah…"
I grabbed my head. It was around 30 celsius outside.
"If I go out in these clothes I'll faint from the heat before I get to the table."
"Here they are!"
She ran through the door, panting. She really didn't have much. All she had was a lipstick and a mascara, in addition, are all crappy quality… but can be used.
"It will be fine, thank you. That's all the dresses I have, right? "
"Yes."
'I have to end the date quickly, then I have to have an instant change of clothes… the new academic year starts tomorrow, and I can't go among people in these mourning dresses!'
"Well, then let's start with the miracle."
Ashley had never been to a hairdresser before, so no one had ever had her hair cut. The heavy tuft of hair reaching to her knees, though she looked beautiful from afar, was unfortunately fragmented at the end, not to mention it's weight.
My first thing was to cut it at waist height. I used to always cut my hair for myself, so it wasn't much of a challenge.
"Oh, miss don't… your beautiful hair…"
Letty cried out.
"Letty… you have a shoulder length hair style… do you have any idea this much hair is how heavy? Believe me it will be better this way for both of us… "
"Yes, miss."
She sniffed.
Cutting the bangs required more serious attention. I couldn't cut it too hidgh, since i would look like an idiot with short bangs ... but in the end I managed to cut it just at the bottom line of my eyebrows.
"Perfect! Do you think we can sell the hair i cut off? "
"I ... yes, I know a place."
"Great! We'll buy something deliciousfrom it's price! "
I smiled at her, and she involuntarily smiled back at me.
"Then the mascara. Unfortunately, its quality is really poor - but if I apply it in several layers - maybe it can work. "
Letty gasped as she watched her insignificant mistress become a woman with a perfectly acceptable look.
"A blush would have been better… but we have to work with what we have."
I took a little of the red lipstick with my finger and smeared the material on the cheekbone line.
"God! Ms. Ashley has become so different! "
Letty was excited after I also highlighted my lips.
"Thank you! And now the dress… "
