Chapter 2The Mastermind Girlfriend and the Reality TV Trap

While we were in the makeup room, a large group of people suddenly walked in.

In the center of the entourage was a woman with long, wavy hair, wearing a long white sweater. Because she was surrounded by assistants, I couldn't see her face clearly.

An assistant beside her scanned the room, her eyes landing on us. She strutted over arrogantly and knocked on our makeup table.

"Our Chloe doesn't like having outsiders around when she's getting her makeup done. Unessential personnel, please clear out."

My makeup artist gave an awkward smile and curled her lip. She expertly grabbed her makeup bag and pulled us into a corner, muttering softly:

"Sorry, ladies, let's just stay out of their way. I bet that's the guest idol the production team brought in for the finale. No need to start a fight. They're all like this."

My best friend clenched her fists in anger.

"But we were here first! Do celebrities just get to steal people's spots?"

I pulled my friend back and smiled.

"It doesn't matter. We're just borrowing the makeup room anyway."

After quickly finishing my makeup, I was instructed to wait backstage.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed the idol in the white sweater from the makeup room was also standing in the holding area next to me.

I figured this was just the general waiting area, so I paid her no mind and calmly kept my distance.

Suddenly, she turned her head and looked me up and down.

With a laugh, she said, "So you're the champion's girlfriend?"

I looked at her. Her makeup was flawless, but even the heavy foundation couldn't hide the surgical enhancements on her nose and lips. She had probably gotten a rhinoplasty and a lip lift.

It seemed her makeup artist wasn't that great after all.

I replied with polite distance:

"He's not the champion yet."

The idol scoffed and said with confident ease:

"He will definitely be the champion. Ethan has that kind of capability."

I looked at her in surprise, not knowing where she got that confidence.

Was she also a fan of Ethan?
