Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 205

Chapter 205:

Inside the room, only Mrs. Mayer was emitting sounds as she picked up and deposited objects. She looked very serious. As she was doing Becky’s makeup, she was pondering over something, as if she was working on a piece of art. When we saw her like this, we didn’t want to disturb her.

When she finished, she looked at her wristwatch and smiled.

“It only took me ten minutes. You can look in the mirror now,” Mrs. Mayer said.

Becky touched the scars on her face, looking at herself in the suitcase mirror with wide eyes. The original scars had become three shiny curves, lined up from largest to smallest. The scars were no longer visible and the glow accentuated her already beautiful features. She was now more lovely than ever.

“Does it satisfy you, young lady?” Mrs. Mayer asked with a smile. She noticed that Becky seemed in awe of her work.

As Becky held her face and looked at herself in the mirror in disbelief, she nodded in response.

“So this is what you meant. I really thought that…sorry for my assumption.” As Mrs. Mayer was a magnanimous and kind-hearted person, she merely smiled at Becky.

“Young lady, a woman can wear whatever makeup she wants to cover her facial flaws, but you have to remember that what matters most is a woman’s personality. Doesn’t it make you wonder how other women who are not particularly outstanding manage to attract others? The reason must be elegance and a great personality.”

I could understand what Mrs. Mayer meant by that. She herself was no longer as young as Becky, but she had a kind of charm about her that made people feel drawn to her. She had a unique magnetism and vibe that younger women didn’t have.

She wasn’t sure if Becky understood her or not, but she said, “Thank you, Mrs. Mayer.”

Mrs. Mayer nodded and laughed. “Well, hurry up. You’re going to be late. No matter how high your position is, or even if you become an A-list star in the future, punctuality is an important quality.”

Her magnetism and gravitas were not limited to her presence. She was also quite an eloquent speaker, which made me think she wasn’t just a woman.

At that moment, I could see how excited Becky was. Mrs. Mayer seemed to have done wonders for Becky, and had made her even more beautiful. I must say Becky was a sight to behold at this point.

“Derek, I’m afraid I’ll be late if I wait for a cab, would you mind giving me a lift?” Becky asked.

Derek had been quiet all this time, but now, he was giving me a look.

I wasn’t sure if he was asking my opinion. If I told him not to accompany Becky, would he listen to me? Or would he think I was being unreasonable?

“It’s late. Take her there,” I said.

In fact, I knew that, if I couldn’t stay in her heart, it would be useless no matter how hard I tried to keep them from being alone together.

Once they left, I wanted to leave too.

“Miss, do you mind giving me your phone number? When I get out of the hospital, I’ll have to take you out to lunch to express my gratitude,” Mrs. Mayer said.

I then immediately waved my hand in refusal. “No need, Mrs. Mayer. I have done nothing special. Anyone with a conscience would have done the same thing.”

Mrs. Mayer smiled at me. “There were a lot of people passing by on the road, and you were the only one who saved me. Do you think that means fate brought us together?” She wasn’t necessarily speaking in an overbearing way, but her words had a big impact.

In the end, we gave each other our phone numbers. Mrs. Mayer saw my bandaged hand and asked me what had happened. I told her that I had been burned.

She immediately took an ointment out of her large suitcase and handed it to me.

“Here, my dear. Take it. It’s good for cuts and burns. It will keep your wounds from scarring,” he said.

I took the ointment and thanked him. At the time, I still had no idea who Mrs. Mayer was.
