Chapter 417

"Can you believe it? Jean's makeup was so overdone. Who knows how it even looked on camera."

"The photographer only bothered to take a few extra shots of Shirley and Sophie. The rest of us? We might as well have been invisible." Wendy glanced at the dish in front of her, suddenly losing all appetite. She stood up, ready to leave.

Shirley said, "Everyone has a set meal plan. If you skip it, you'll be hungry all night. And if you give in and snack later, you'll regret it even more.

Wendy's expression soured. She was famished, but the thought of looking bloated on camera curbed her desire to eat.

James frowned, saying, "Get one then. I'll look into it."

"To win a girl's heart... pour all your feelings into hers, take all her joys into your heart," James read coldly, his frown deepening with each word. Colt, standing opposite him, awkwardly shuffled his feet.
