Chapter 127 Dressed to Dazzle Joshs face lit up with a smile when he saw Lauren .
Ms Bennett , you must be exhausted .
Lauren was surprised .
Josh ? What brings you here ? Finished Josh stepped forward , gently taking the gift box from her hands and placing it carefully on the nearby table .
Mr.
Brooker wasnt sure when youd finish , so he already taken Madam Kate to the banquet hall .
Lauren nodded slightly .
It was only right that the host of the event arrived early .
Glancing at the clock on the living room wall , she noticed that the hands had already reached ten .
Feeling a bit self conscious , she said , Josh , please wait a moment .
Id like to freshen up first .
She must look utterly drained after an all nighter .
Showing up to Madam Kates birthday banquet like this would be completely inappropriate .
Before she could do anything .
Josh snapped his fingers .
A team of people walked in from outside , carrying makeup kits and styling tools .
Ms.
Bennett , Mr.
Brooker has already arranged for a stylist .
Itll take no more than thirty minutes .
Youll definitely make it to the banquet hall before the event starts at eleven .
Then , he turned to the lead stylist .
Andy , Ill leave Ms.
Bennett to you .
The man named Andy was dressed flamboyantly , exuding an air of theatrical elegance .
He crossed his arms , twirled his fingers , and gave Lauren a once over , his face twisted in disdain .
I honestly dont know what an alpha like Mr.
Brooker sees in a little bean sprout like you .
Lauren was speechless .
Clicking his tongue , Andy continued his ruthless critique .
Your skin is dull ; your complexion is lifeless .
My goodness ! Look at your lips , all chapped and dry .
Are you even a woman ? You dont even have as much feminine charm as I do ! Again , Lauren had no words .
Joshs eyelid twitched , his voice turning icy .
Andy , if you dont want this job , just say so .
Fine , fine ! I wont say another word , alright ? Andy huffed , rolling his eyes dramatically as if Lauren were his arch nemesis .
Lauren shot Josh a questioning look .
He returned a reassuring glance , mouthing silently , Dont worry ! Hes like this with every woman who gets close to Mr.
Brooker , not just you .
Lauren instantly understood .
She beamed at Andy .
Then Ill be in your capable hands , Andy .
Andy took command , directing the makeup artists to work their magic .
A soft cotton pad gently brushed against Laurens face , evening out her fatigued complexion .
A light layer of foundation followed , expertly applied with a sponge seamlessly covering her dark circles and exhaustion , leaving her skin smooth and radiant .

A delicate sweep of soft pink eyeshadow adorned her eyelids , deepened at the outer corners with a subtle shade of brown to create a mesmerizing depth in her gaze .
A fine stroke of eyeliner , a coat of mascara , and suddenly , her eyes sparkled with an irresistible charm .
As for the blush , Andy chose a delicate peach pink , dusting it lightly over her cheekbones , adding a youthful , rosy glow .
Finally , a layer of hydrating rose colored lipstick coated her lips , making them appear luscious and dewy .
As if a single touch would release a drop of nectar .
Andy took a step back , tilting his head in satisfaction .
Sauntering over to a rack of exquisite gowns , he let his fingers glide over the fabric before settling on a delicate pale pink dress .
Made of flowing chiffon with subtly trailing hem , it exuded an air of ethereal grace .
A young lady should always look fresh and vibrant , Andy declared .
When Lauren slipped into the dress , the transformation was breathtaking .
The soft elegance of the gown .
washed away the lingering shadows of her past hardships , revealing a version of herself she had almost forgotten .
She was now a radiant , spirited young woman full of life .
Andy then styled her hair into a low , elegant bun , allowing a few soft strands to frame her face .
A delicate pearl necklace completed the ensemble , enhancing the gentle , fairy like aura surrounding her .
When Lauren looked at herself in the mirror , she almost did not recognize her own reflection .
She had nearly forgotten she used to be bright , cheerful , and full of vitality before returning to the Bennett family , So , this is what she looked like when she was not weighed down by endless struggles .
Andy stepped back with a flourish , admiring his handiwork .
No doubt about it .
I can turn even the most ordinary into something divine ! Lauren was speechless again .
Alright , she was getting used to his sharp tongue by now ..
Even Josh could not help but praise , Ms.
Bennett , you look absolutely stunning today .
He was already looking forward to seeing Mr.
Brookers reaction when he laid eyes on Laurens breathtaking transformation .
