10Noah started asking me out a lot.We went to movie theaters, aquariums, and amusement parks and took photos on the merry-go-round. We lined up behind a little girl in a pink princess dress for more than half an hour just to get ice cream.I wanted to say no every time, but every time I saw his sparkling, expectant eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse him."Anyway, it's just an act. It's better to make it more real," I told myself....It didn't take long for me to understand why Barrel said that that night.Valenwich underwent a change of ownership and merged with another company. Barrel took over our big project with Valenwich and became one of the new people in charge from Party A.Noah played a sweet boy and stayed with me. It was not until the morning of the training that he hurried out and met up with the others at school.A few days earlier, Party A said they would send someone in charge to discuss the project face-to-face, so I stayed up for several days to come up with a

14She didn't finish the whole story so as to keep Noah in suspense.My parents planned to marry me off to an old bachelor for 70,000 dollars. I only mentioned it to Barrel, but I didn't expect him to tell Shay about it."You think too much. I broke up with your brother because he was seeing some other women while we were together. Whether I get married or not has nothing to do with you." I smiled."Are you angry?" Shay tilted her head to look at me, the very picture of a phony. "I'm just concerned about you. After all, you taught me for a long time when my brother made you my tutor."Noah couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and said, "Shay, can you go now? I'd like to talk to my girlfriend. You're an eyesore to me."Shay stared at him with wide eyes, and her smile froze.Seeing that she did not respond, Noah lost his patience. He took my hand and led me straight down from the stand to a row of chairs at the edge of the court. There were a few reserves sitting there, as well a

I'm the personal retoucher of Chuck Smith, one of the most popular stars. To attract more clients, I put his edited photo and the original side by side on a website. He soon found out about it.When Chuck called me, I was working hard on editing a photo.After learning what I did, this crybaby was so angry that his voice trembled on the phone. "Rebecca, what the hell is this?"With that, he sent me a message.[Retoucher of celebrities, good aesthetic taste, reliable quality, and reasonable price, 2 dollars for each photo.]Next to the advertising slogan was a close-up photo of Chuck taken at an art gallery event three days ago.In this picture, his skin was dull, his eyes were half-closed, his chin was a little crooked for some reason, and some small pimples were on his cheeks.After my careful editing, all the defects on his face disappeared, but the natural skin texture was still preserved.My brain was spinning. Should I deny it or apologize to him? After hesitating for a fe

4The second week after I accompanied Chuck to the set, I finally understood why the person I met in the hotel the other day said that Chuck's staff was not professional.Chuck terminated the contract with Grateedo Company and set up his studio half a year ago.There were only four people in the studio, including him and me.Chuck's agent, Lisa, and the photographer, Daniel, were his high school classmates.I remembered the strange photos they had sent me and suddenly understood why someone as good-looking as Chuck would look so ugly in them.I stayed at the hotel with Chuck in the evening because he asked me to choose some pictures for him to post on Twitter. However, among more than 50 pictures, I barely picked out three ones that could be used. But I had to make a ton of changes to them before they were released.Chuck looked at me carefully, saying, "Rebecca, I'm sorry to trouble you again.""Well, it's not a big deal. After all, you paid me for that." I tried to make it so

8The movie was officially completed a week later.After shooting the last scene, the director shouted "Cut!" Then all the staff howled cheerfully.Chuck hurriedly ran backstage to change into casual clothes. After saying goodbye to everyone on the set, he got into the minivan parked outside."We won't be attending the celebration party. The Superstar Show will start at eight o'clock. We have to get to the scene before six o'clock to get styled and change clothes."As she spoke, Lisa stepped on the gas.I helped Chuck remove his makeup in the car and ran through the brochure from the organizer to check out the process of the show.As a science student, I was unfamiliar with these things.However, after working as Chuck's assistant for more than two months, I gradually kept up with the pace.When we arrived backstage, the makeup artist and stylist rushed over. After helping Chuck with his makeup, they went to the next dressing room in haste.Lisa went to the organizer to go th
