The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella)

After they got to the dressing room, Collins led her to a smaller room inside, separated by a door from the main area. He explained, "Your brother will be back to change after his song. Didn't want you two running into each other."

Mirabella nodded, "No worries."

"Take a seat. Wendy went to the restroom, she'll be right back," Collins pointed to a chair nearby before stepping out and softly closing the door behind him.

Not long after, Wendy walked in, holding a gift box.

"Did you wait long, sis?" Wendy set the box down. Having taken a photo with Mirabella before, she was still visibly excited to see her again.

Mirabella nodded politely, "Just got here."

Wendy hummed in acknowledgment, then looked Mirabella over before opening the box to reveal a slate grey, jeweled chiffon gown.

"Try this gown on first, then I'll style your look to match," Wendy said, handing the dress to Mirabella.

Soon, she left the room.

After a few minutes, hearing a knock from inside, Wendy re-entered.

Seeing Mirabella in the gown left Wendy momentarily speechless.

The slate grey of the dress made Mirabella's fair skin gleam even brighter, with its sheer, gradient mesh fabulously showcasing her delicate collarbones. The ethereal sleeves lightly covered her slender arms, and the embroidered patterns around the waist seemed to lift her figure perfectly. The hem, just barely touching the ground, gave off an airy, almost mystical vibe, accentuating her youthful grace and elegance.

"This dress is perfect for you," Wendy finally managed to say.

Mirabella raised an eyebrow in response.

Wendy moved closer, pondered for a moment with her hand on her chin, and asked Mirabella to sit down. She then opened a toolbox and started working on Mirabella's hair and makeup.

Meanwhile, Leo had returned to the main room for a touch-up. Their conversations could be heard clearly, even from the smaller room.

However, there wasn't much exchange between them; Leo left for his performance right after getting his makeup done.

It took Wendy about twenty minutes to complete Mirabella's look.

Her naturally straight hair was given a temporary wave with a curling iron, locks from either side of her temples were braided and tied at the back to add volume, complemented with a charming hair accessory and subtle makeup, enhancing her youthful softness and rounding off the sharpness she usually carried.

"Absolutely angelic," Wendy exclaimed, admiring her work.

In the entertainment world, this face would break records, Wendy thought confidently, unable to think of a celebrity who could overshadow Mirabella. Satisfied, Wendy nodded approvingly.

It was now 11:50 PM. Collins knocked on the door from outside.

After helping Mirabella with her shoes, Wendy opened the door. "All set, right?" Collins stood at the doorway, asking.

"Yeah." Wendy stepped aside to let him in.noveldrama

Catching a glimpse of Mirabella, Collins paused, then said, "Ever thought about joining the entertainment industry, sis?"

Mirabella just looked at him.

Clearing his throat, Collins checked the time-11:55 PM.

After a few more exchanges, he finally said, "Let's go, it's time for the surprise guest to make an appearance."

Mirabella glanced at Collins, noticing his quick check of the watch but didn't dwell on it, and followed him out.
