Mrs He was extremely curious about this..She recognized the tone of bitterness from the girl's voice and wondered if she had been hurt by something her boyfriend had done and felt hurt so she decided not to wear his gift..But Mrs He also felt a bit of disapproval for the girl..a goft was given with love so even if the lovers had a tiff, the feelings behind the gift should be respected...Mrs He, however did not show any of this on her face and nodded her head in agreement.She had learned her lesson the last time she had opened her mouth to give her opinion and offended a powerful figure.

The two people walked out of the room, and once again Mrs He was amazed at the gracefulness of this young girl.. ​​

(Yu Seok:She really does know how to be graceful..I wonder if I should be offended or complimented that she is so clumsy around me!)

After a knock on another door, Xie Eun stood back and waited.Mrs He saw another older lady open the door and after giving her a nod, the woman turned to Miss Xie and said,"The stylist is gone..but Eun-a, the model is almost in tears.."

Xie Eun fisted her hands at the side and slowly walked in followed by Mrs He who was now even more curious..and almost threw up when she saw the make up....

Without remembering to control her expression,Mrs He squeaked out,"What is this?"

While the dress itself had been beautiful and the model also,the make up was terrible..Instead of a natural or slightly bold makeup that should have been used to accentuate the features of the wearer, the make up was rather gothic and clumsy.The face of the model had been turned to a paler color and her eyes highlighted with thick black eyeliner..while the blush...It made the poor model look like clown..The professional Mrs He was unable to take this in and almost itched to bring out her makeup remover and wipe thebperson clean..

Xie Eun kept staring at the model expressionlessly as she absorbed the truth..so Si Jing had wanted her to look like this...How sweet he had been when he asked her to let the stylist do his work and dress her up..He had forgotten that sheay be from the countryside but she was a photography student...She had a decent sense if aesthetics.

Xie Eun turned to Mrs He and said softly,"Mrs He, I hope you don't mind redoing this person's make up.She has a shoot soon and it seems the stylist earlier was not good enough"

Snorting,Mrs He whk had come to her own conclusion,nodded and remarked,"Yes..This girl is pretty and thebstylist has turned her into a ghost!Not good enough?I would call them incompetent and tasteless!"

The model and Mrs He were guided out to amother room by Aunt Su while Xie Eun stared ahead vacantly.She wondered whatnwould have happened to her pride and dignity if her eyes had not been forcefully opened last week..

Aunt Su came back into the room and saw the look in her girl's eyes.She went to her and placed a light hand on her shoulders.

Xie Eun turned to look at her and she could see that the child wanted to cry but was holding her tears in..She wanted to reassure her but knew that a few kind words would make Xie Eun break down..So she simply said,"Eun-a,now you know the truth behind everything.You can choose to go or not go."

Xie Eun looked at Aunt Su with determination in her eyes,"No Aunt Su,I want to see this to the bitter end.Thank you for making all the preparations."

Aunt Su gave a shake of her head and said,"You know in your heart that all these preparations and plans are not my ability.Euna,you can keep your head buried in sand no longer.You came to me with the intention of finding your husband for a divorce.Youbhave seen for yourself that there is no reasom for you to divorce.The rest is in your hands. Take this."

Aunt Su pressed the card into Xie Eun's hand. This card was the one that Xie Eun had thrown away in a fit of anger after her father passed away..Xie Eun looked down at the card and silently acknowledged what Aunt Su said.

After tonight, another obstacle awaited her.She had to talk to her husband..and work on getting a divorcr..this time not for Si Jing and her so called relationship but for herself..She wanted to distance herself and runaway from here.She wanted no reminders of her past foolish self. The reason her father had forced them to marry would. I longer be required after tonight so she her husband could let go of her comfortable without guilt towards her father..

Quietly, she put the card in her beaded purse and walked walked out, ready to attend the ball.
