Chapter 14
“Helena, come out here! Look at my face. It’s marred! This shitty studio. Close it for me now!”
It was Ruby who came in the morning.
At this point, her face was full of red and swollen bumps, looking a little creepy.
Violet was startled and rushed over, “Ms. Wright, take it easy. Let me see.”
How did this happen?
Her skin was allergic!
“What are you looking at?”
Ruby swatted her hand away as she swept her gaze to the customers who were styling their hair here.
“Look at this. I had my look done here this morning. This is the proof! I thought it is an upscale studio, but I didn’t think it is a bluff! You’re all rich and famous. Be careful with your face. Don’t get ruined!”
What she said made the employees stop doing the styling and customers all discussed about it.
“My God. Her face is swollen. She must be allergic.”
“Helena, what kind of cosmetics did you use on her face? Why did you make her face look like this?”
“Helena, are you using counterfeit products?”
“That’s right! I came here only because I was introduced by an acquaintance, so I can’t trust your studio of this level.”
“…”
Her guests were chattering. Violet stayed calm and spoke, “Please calm down, the products we use here are all big international brands. You can check them as you like.”
The cosmetics she used were carefully selected.
Before applying makeup to clients who came here, she gave them a skin test and then used the most suitable products for each other.
And there had never been an example like Ruby.
“Hell, I don’t know what kind of products you’re really using!”
Ruby snorted, “In order to make huge profits, many bad businessmen secretly have a special labeling production line. And you can buy labeled international brands with less money! Maybe that’s how the products come from!”
“It’s true. I saw a news two days ago that people who produced counterfeit goods was caught up by police.”
“If that’s true, then what Helena does is so unreasonable.”
“No, I want a refund. I can’t have my face look like that.”
“…”
The guests were all rich and wealthy ladies.
For them, the most important thing to care about was their faces.
With Ruby’s provocation, they demanded for refunds.
Violet hurriedly reassured them, “Listen to me. You guy are regulars of this studio. I can swear to God that the products I have here are never counterfeit goods. If you don’t believe me, you can just take a sample and test it.”
“And how do you explain her face?”
“Yeah, her face looks like it’s caused by allergy!”
Several guests questioned it.
Violet looked at Ruby with a slightly cold look, “There are many reasons of being allergic. Ms. Wright, are you sure it’s from using my makeup products and not from eating foods that can still cause allergies?”
There was definitely something wrong with this Ruby!
She was sure that her allergy was definitely not because of cosmetics!Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“You still want to pass the buck? How could I eat food that I am allergic to? It’s obvious that you saw my plain dress and deliberately neglected me by using inferior products!”
Ruby’s eyes flashed, but she blurted out an accusation.
“I treat my guests equally.”
Violet said, “Ms. Wright, since you think it’s a cosmetic allergy, why don’t you please come with me to the hospital and have the doctor do a checkup for you?”
She believed in her products. If they went to the hospital for a checkup, it would return justice to her.
“There’s no need to go to the hospital because I’ve already been there!”
Ruby smiled smugly and took out a test report from her bag, “Helena, look carefully. The doctor diagnosed that my face is allergic to cosmetics. How can you still deny!?”
Violet: “…”
How was this possible!?
…
The Johnson Group.
Office of the Secretary.
“Did you guys see the news? The Tasty Interlude Bakery. We always order cakes there. It almost had an accident! But it’s a good thing that the person was just making a trouble.”
“I saw it! But I’m more concerned about the gossip that person said!”
“Yes, that person said our president married an ugly woman and slept with her bosom friend. Is it true?”
“It seems to be true! I also heard that the president’s wife’s bosom friend is Helena from RW Styling Studio.”
“…”
A few secretaries were gossiping during their lunch break.
Louis came out of the president’s office and heard them.
At that moment, his footsteps paused.
Tasty Interlude Bakery almost had an accident?
What happened?
“Helena from RW Styling Studio? Isn’t the woman who came to the Group two days ago? Ready to take over the makeup business?”
“That’s her. She’s so pretty!”
“This woman must have a scheme. She actually slept with our president.”
“…”
The people in the secretary’s office discussed it enthusiastically. Louis’ brow wrinkled.
Harry was about to remind the secretaries to stop gossiping about the boss behind his back.
At that moment, a secretary exclaimed out loud.
“Hey hey, look guys, there’s another breaking news!”
“Helena, the head of RW Styling Studio, used poor quality cosmetics that caused allergies on her customers’ faces!”
“Gosh, I didn’t expect Helena to be so wicked. How dare she use inferior cosmetics?”
“Didn’t you say she has a scheme? Like this kind of scheming bitch, what can’t she do for profit?”
“…”
Hearing this, Harry looked at his boss’s slightly sunken face, and coughed lightly.
“Less gossip during work hours.”
A few secretaries realized that their boss was standing at the entrance of the corridor with a cold face.
At once, they were all silenced.
Louis glanced at a few people, and walked in the direction of the elevator.
“Harry, go check out the news.”
“Yes.”
…
In the studio.
Violet sat in her office, staring at Ruby’s diagnostic report.
It clearly stated that her face was allergic to cosmetics.
But she didn’t believe it at all.
“Violet, how did this happen? What should we do now?”
Evie pushed the door in with an anxious look on her face.
Violet returned to her senses and put the report in her bag.
“There’s no hurry. I’ll go to the hospital first.”
Ruby wouldn’t go with her to the hospital to get rechecked.
She tried every possible way to persuade Ruby to give her some time to come up with a solution.
The implication of Ruby’s words was to shut her studio down.
She was certain that someone was instigating Ruby to do this.
And this person, perhaps the same person who directed the middle-aged woman to come to the bakery and cause trouble!
Violet let out a deep breath, grabbed her belongings and left the studio. She drove to the hospital where Ruby was examined.
This was a private hospital owned by the Johnson Group.
Violet was more sure of an idea.
