Novel1Chapter 120 Sunnyville Cinemas was buzzing with activity, yet Evangeline stood out like a sore thumb. Clad in a simple gray dress, her face free of makeup, she waited impatiently at the entrance for her bestie, Roslyn.
She kept checking her watch, and with each passing minute, her irritation grew. They were supposed to meet at 10 p.m., yet there was no sign of Roslyn even almost 30 minutes later.
Without hesitation, Evangeline whipped out her phone and called Roslyn.

The crowd ebbed and flowed inside the cinema, and there she was, feeling like a total dork, her face hidden behind a mask and a cap, bracing against the chilly breeze.
"Aw, Evie, don't be mad!" cRoslyn's sweet, apologetic voice over the phone. "I got caught up with my makeup... Oops, my bad! But look, I'm literally seconds away!" Something in Roslyn's tone did not sit right with Evangeline. It was almost as if...
Then she heard it-the svoice, but this tnot from her phone. It was coming from behind her. Evangeline spun and spotted Roslyn, her face perfectly made up, giving Evangeline a sheepish grin.. Talk about perfect timing.
oslyn spotted Evangeline's unique getup and sprinted over, linking arms with her in a way that said 'no arguments".
"Fast, right? Told you I'd be here in a flash!" Roslyn boasted, a triumphant twinkle in her eye.
"Sure did," Evangeline replied, her annoyance melting into amusement.
Evangeline tossed out a comment, quickly switching gears. "You know, if you'd sped things up and arrived twenty minutes earlier, I'd be way happier." Roslyn slid off her oversized sunglasses, the ones she used to keep her identity private, and eyed Evangeline with a hint of suspicion. "Okay, Evie, spill it. Why are you all bundled up like you're hiding from the paparazzi? This isn't your usual Foster family princess vibe!" Roslyn was spot on. Evangeline was definitely not rocking her typical glam look. The truth, however, was something Evangeline could not share, not even with Roslyn. Blit on Walter, that jerk. He never thought about the consequences.
Evangeline's neck was a canvas of questionable marks that not even her turtleneck could camouflage. Of all days, Roslyn chose this one to drag her out! Left with no choice, Evangeline had resorted to this ridiculous hat. If Roslyn got even a glimpse of those marks, she would turn into detective mode and would not rest until she had the full scoop. "Con, it's the new trend to fly under the radar, especially when you've got a bit of fame," Evangelirie tried to deflect.

Roslyn scrunched her brow. This getup is tragic, girl. It's so not you. Ditch the hat and mask, will you?" Evangeline's hat was not just any hat, it was one of those with a flap in the back that hugged her neck like a second skin. Chapter 170.
+25 BONUS As Roslyn reached for the hat, Evangeline protested, "Really, it's fine-" She was too slow, however. In a flash, Roslyn whipped off the hat, leaving Evangeline exposed.
Evangeline's lush black hair tumbled down her back, and even though her face was mostly hidden behind a mask, it did nothing to diminish her stunning looks.
"Why did you take off my hat?" Evangeline, who hardly ever got mad, raised her voice in protest before quickly fixing her hat back in place. Little did she know, Roslyn had already seen everything Evangeline had been so carefully trying to cover up.
As Evangeline readjusted her hat, Roslyn's fingers brushed everson slightly against Evangeline's neck, right where that tell-tale mark was.
