Chapter 1862 Getting Hit On?

Her intricate makeup had smudged beyond recognition, and the once-impeccable dress was now a crumpled and stained disappointment, a cringe-worthy disaster.

The pair planned quietly slipping away to their room and salvaging their disheveled appearances. In fact, with the party in full swing, everyone was lost in the revelry and paying no attention to Paul and Rochelle. However, with her sharp eyes, Bella caught a glimpse of them.

Following customary routine, it was Bella's moment to take the stage right after Elisa's introductory speech.

Wearing her signature smile, she stepped forward, exchanging pleasantries and paying homage to her mentor, Elisa.

Luckily, Bella 'graciously' spared them further embarrassment and had her assistant guide them to their room for a quick touch-up.
