A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 45

Min Young summoned professionals into her home to prepare for the launch party—several aides to assist with hair, makeup, and dressing.

First, she received her makeup. The artist was a woman known for handling A-list actresses. Though overwhelmed managing her current roster of actresses year-end, she had no choice but to come.

During this process, a top-tier actress—mid-shoot on a popular drama—effectively stepped aside, though not by choice, succumbing to pressure: failing to do so might risk GComs withdrawing its invested capital from the drama.

“Managing Director, are you pleased with the makeup?”

“Yes, absolutely. Director Kang’s skill is praised unanimously even among actresses known for their exacting standards. It mustn’t be easy working with such actresses, is it?”

“Not particularly.”

“Why wouldn’t it be? Since they earn a living with their faces, they’re naturally sensitive about even a single makeup stroke or lighting nuance. Some less-mature actresses even vent that frustration onto the staff. You must endure a lot.”

Director Kang brushed the moment aside with an ambiguous smile, then gently swept a brush along Min Young’s outer eye corner. Min Young, inspecting her reflection, frowned.

“Did some powder accidentally get into your eye?”

“No. Rather, I’m not fond of this color tone. Any other options?”

“A cool violet suits you best, Managing Director—it’s a distinctive shade few can pull off. So, what color would you prefer?”

Min Young thought of Se Ah. She already knew the dress Ji Se Ah would wear—since nothing would be left to chance, Se Ah would surely get her hair and makeup done at a high-end salon too. What style would she choose?

Min Young firmly believed she surpassed Se Ah in every aspect: beauty, wealth, and exceptional intellect. If both adopted a similar aesthetic, Min Young would undoubtedly stand out more.

Much like gossip articles comparing celebrities wearing the same brand—where commenters flood in praising who looked more beautiful—it was only natural people would compare, given the chance.

Director Kang waited patiently, brush in hand, for Min Young’s instructions.
