Chapter 304
Sienna received several other male guests in the shop after seeing off her previous male companion. However, she gradually found that many people were pointing and whispering about her. She felt even more uneasy; it was just like when her luck was weakened and depleted. After a while, she felt a little uncomfortable. She went to the bathroom and realized that there were spots on her body again. As for her face, due to the thick makeup, it was not too apparent.
Sienna looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was not flawless, and she felt she was going crazy. โHow could this be? Why did my luck weaken again? I didnโt do anything. Could it be the backlash caused by the exposure of the video of me being in a foreign hospital yesterday?โ Sienna wondered. However, deep down, she felt that this was not the case. Sienna didnโt know what to do at that moment. She calmed herself down in the bathroom before walking out.
Just as she reached the door, she heard people talking outside.
โI didnโt expect Sienna to be so unrestrained. I wonder how many men she has.โ
โShe had previously built a pure and innocent image. She might have gained some fans if she had directly embraced her true playgirl persona.โ
โI knew it. When I watched the live broadcast previously, I saw her bring that man to choose clothes. I felt something fishy was going on between them.โ
โIt turns out they had been so unrestrained in their past interactions, and had even stayed in a hotel room together.โ
โWe came to this vintage costume shop specifically to see this playgirl, but I canโt fathom where she gets such enormous charm from.โ
โI donโt understand either. I used to like Marr, but now, I feel theyโre disgusted.โ
They were still talking, discussing the trending topics. When Sienna heard this, her face turned pale.
โNo wonder there have been more customers in the vintage costume shop lately, and many people had been peeping at me. Some people were even whispering and pointing at me.โ
โIt turns out that Iโm on the trending topics again because someone leaked the photos and videos of me with those male companions from before online.โ Sienna was furious, wondering who did such a wicked thing. Then, she thought, Itโs most likely Phoebe who did it again. Why is that woman so persistent? Why did she have to keep an eye on me? How infuriating.
Sienna returned to the bathroom and waited for the girls to leave before going out. After that, she no longer actively asked the customers to buy clothes. Instead, she was in a daze.
Seeing this, Cain could not help but ask with concern, โSienna, what happened?โ
Sienna came back to her senses and forced a smile. โI feel a little uncomfortable. Iโve sold a lot of clothes. The commission I received should be enough for us to eat and stay in a hotel.โ
โCain, why donโt you send me back to the hotel to rest? Iโm feeling terrible and dizzy.โ She did not want to stay outside and be constantly watched and pointed at like a joke. Moreover, she was also very worried that Cain would hear those people talking and know about this. Therefore, she found an excuse to let him return to the hotel with her.
Cain had long wanted to leave this place. He found the store unusually crowded, and everyone seemed to look at him strangely. It was as if they were looking at a scapegoat and a fool. He agreed. โAlright, Iโll tell Maddox and the others before sending you back.โ
Then, he went to look for Maddox and said Sienna was not feeling well. He told Maddox that he wanted to send her to the hotel to rest. Maddox was speechless. โYou guys always have the most drama. Go and greet the shop owner. After receiving your salary, you can settle the dinner and accommodation yourselves.โ Maddox felt they were two useless teammates.
Cain could tell that Maddox despised them. He was speechless. โDonโt worry, we wonโt take advantage of you.โ
Maddox smiled. โIโm relieved to hear that.โ
Cain was speechless again, thinking, No matter what, he is from a wealthy family. Why is he so stingy? I donโt know what to say. Anyway, I canโt get along with Maddox. He wondered why Phoebe liked to hang out with Maddox.
He said nothing else. Instead, he went to talk to the shop owner about Siennaโs illness. The shop owner had already seen the trending topics and naturally guessed that Sienna was pretending to be sick. However, she did not deliberately make things difficult for them.
โItโs good that she leaves early. Otherwise, Iโll feel disgusted when I see her.โ With that thought in mind, she agreed to let them leave early and gave them half a dayโs pay and a commission on the clothes they had sold. Sienna had sold many menโs vintage costumes. She earned about 200 dollars just in commissions alone. Coupled with their half-day salary of 100 dollars, it was enough for them to spend today. After receiving the money, Sienna and Cain returned to the hotel and didnโt come out.
On the other side, many young ladies said yesterday they hoped Phoebe would help with makeup and decorations. More than half of them were Phoebeโs fans. They even left a contact number for the production team and said they wanted the production team to contact them if Phoebe still wanted to set up a stall for makeup. Therefore, Phoebe continued yesterdayโs work and asked the production team to contact those young ladies to repay these fans. It also moved Phoebeโs fans. They felt that Phoebe treated her fans quite well. The young ladies were also extremely excited. Immediately after they received the call, they ran over to line up.
The other three people were still hyping up the surroundings. Raylan didnโt play the cello again. Instead, he played the harp and the flute. His flute playing surpassed Reece by far in terms of skill and emotional expression, which made Reece unable to continue playing the flute. He could only rely on his face to attract customers like Jamar. Then, Raylan and Phoebe performed a song together with the lute. Kaylan also played a song with the accordion. In his hands, these musical instruments seemed to be imbued with emotions. At the same time, it attracted lots of onlookers. They all said it was enjoyable.
As for Phoebe, there was already a long queue of people waiting to get their makeup done by her. Those who came late could no longer queue. They could only watch. Seeing this, Reece and Jamar felt terrible.
Jamar said speechlessly, โI feel like the two of us are just muddling through.โ As celebrities, they didnโt have as many skills as a horoscope master, which was quite embarrassing. They couldnโt help much in attracting more customers because people would rush up excitedly when they saw Phoebe before they could do anything. Coupled with Raylanโs image and talent as an elegant and noble young man, the place was almost full of people. They could not make good use of their handsome faces at allโฆ
Reece smiled bitterly. โYeah, weโre just a burden now.โ He even complained, โPreviously, when Maddox was a burden and not striving hard, how could he show off so proudly? But I feel a little embarrassed now.โ
Jamar couldnโt agree more. โThatโs right. Looks like Maddox is much more shameless than us.โ
As the two of them spoke, someone beside them heard them. This person happened to be a fan who wanted Phoebe and Maddox to be together. She couldnโt help but look at the two of them in disdain and say, โItโs not that Maddie is much more shameless than you guys, but Phoebe is happy to bring him along and deliberately dotes on him. Maddie enjoys the process and fun of being pampered by Phoebe. Itโs not like heโs shameless and doesnโt want to do anything.โ
I would also want to experience such fun if it were me, the fan thought. Then, she said, โAfter Maddie left Phoebe, he became the most outstanding person in his group.โ
โAs for your guys, youโre a burden no matter which group you go to.โ
โMost importantly, Phoebe is not willing to bring you guys along. She despises you guys.โ
โShe was forced to be grouped with you two and endure the burden of carrying you two, underperforming teammates.โ
โYou guys donโt have any self-awareness at all. How dare you ridicule Maddie.โ
Another person interrupted, โI think theyโre jealous of Maddie.โ
Then, it resonated with the people around her. โIt must be. Unfortunately, itโs useless even if theyโre jealous. Maddie is Phoebeโs new favorite. Theyโre nothing now.โ
Jamar and Reece were even more speechless, thinking, โThey should keep it to themselves. Why do they have to reveal the truth and hurt our feelings?โ
