Chapter 152 - Ready
It took at least ten minutes before the door to the room was pushed open and Rita, who was dressed in a white short dress that didn't reach knee length and a black fringe wig on her head, walked in.
Leia sprang her eyes open and straightened up on the sofa to gaze at her. She scrutinized her from head to toe and couldn't help but nod her head in satisfaction. "You look perfect." She gave her a thumbs-up, and Rita smiled sheepishly. "Alright, start with her makeover." She turned to Maya and smiled at her before proceeding out of the room.
A deep breath escaped Rita's nose, and she walked to sit down on the tall stool at the table. She stared at her reflection in the mirror that was placed on the table and a half-smile formed on her lips.
Maya unzipped her backpack and pulled out her makeup kit. She dropped it on the table, then opened it, grabbing the things she needed. She then turned to Rita and had her wear a bonnet on her head to cover the wig in order not to obstruct her.

Leia sat at the table inside her room, staring at herself in the mirror. A deep breath escaped her nose and she picked up the scissors, then grabbed a few strands of her hair and slowly began to cut it.
She has to disguise herself to be unrecognizable. Not that she won't be recognizable, but at least one must look closely to try and recognize her.
Her hair had grown a bit long this past month, and she has to cut it very short to get what she wants.
She spent at least eight minutes before she was done cutting her hair to the length she wanted. She stood up from the chair and moved towards the bathroom, then stepped in, shutting the door behind her.
She took a long shower, and finally, when she was done, she stepped out wrapped up in a short white towel. Leia walked into the dressing room and unhurriedly began to walk past different clothes of hers in the room.
"Hmm." Her eyes narrowed into a thin line, and she walked a bit further before spotting exactly what she wanted. She grabbed two sets of clothing from Adrik's side and grabbed one from her side in the room, including shoes, then turned around and left.
She dropped the clothes on the bed and strode to the table to sit down on the stool. She grabbed a body lotion and applied it to her skin, spreading it to every part of her body.
When she was done, she stood up from the seat and walked to the bed, then slid into her underwear. She slipped into the set of clothing, and when she was done, she ambled to the mirror in the room to examine herself.
Upwards, she was clad in a big white polo that was a bit far from knee-length, and on top of it, she wore an expensive, fine-looking long black jacket that obviously belonged to Adrik. Then, downwards, she wore black pencil-mouth ripped jeans that looked boyish in the eyes and a pristine black boot.
A satisfactory smile emerged on her face, and she turned around to amble to the table. She grabbed the hair oil and applied it to her hair, then used the brush and comb to give it a fix.
After she was done, she assessed it in the mirror, and a sheepish smile couldn't help but emerge on her face at how different she looked. Damn, she won't be surprised if someone calls her a boy.
Her hair was now extremely short. It was at the length that guys typically leave their hair at. What can she say? It looks quite good on her. Honestly, the boy version of her will be extremely hot. A smirk formed on her lips, and she used her hand to brush its curls back to perfection.
A deep breath left her nose, and without hesitation, she grabbed the car key, her phone, and her shades, then left the room.
She strolled towards the other room that Rita was in, and pushed the door open. The moment she stepped in, Rita turned around to glance at her. "Who are yo-oh my goodness!" Rita covered her mouth and stared at her with dilated eyes. "What... happened to you?" She asked, with disbelief apparent on her face.
Leia laughed softly, and without answering her, she walked up to her.
"What happened to your hair? For a moment there, I thought you were a guy!" Rita's lashes fluttered, and she slightly shook her head.
"I like my new look." Leia shrugged with a smirk on her lips and began to scrutinize her. "You look awesome! If I was a guy, I would definitely hit on you." She grinned and walked over to plop down on the sofa.
Maya, who was about to finish up with Rita's makeup, flickered her lashes as disbelief also flashed in her eyes. Honestly, she too thought that Leia was a guy for a moment there. She slightly shook her head and returned her attention to what she was doing.
It took another one minute before she was done with Rita's makeover. She stepped aside to allow Rita to check herself out in the mirror.
Rita's eyes blinked in awe as she stared at herself in the mirror, and a smile couldn't help but ensue on her face. "Oh my goodness. I look so different." She raised her hand to touch her face, and a sharp breath fled her mouth. She slowly turned to Maya and thankfully smiled at her. "Thank you."
Maya nodded at her and began to pack her things back into her backpack. When she was done, Leia paid her, and she left the mansion with a cheerful smile on her lips.
Leia turned to Rita and presented a diamond ring, a silver necklace, and earrings to her. "Wear these."
Rita glanced at the jewelry and her face instantly altered in fear. She stepped away from Leia and vigorously shook her head.
Leia's face darkened, and she gazed at her with a questioning expression on her face. "What's... wrong with you?"
"Silver... we are allergic to silver... it's our weakness." A subtle breath exited her nose and she made sure the silver jewelry was nowhere near her.
"Ohh, sorry... I didn't know." Leia shook her head and dropped the necklace and earrings back on the table. Now she understands why Adrik didn't give the silver jewelry to her by himself that day.
A low breath exited her nose, and she picked up the gold jewelry and handed it over to her. "If gold is not a weakness too, then wear this one." Rita nodded as she received the necklace and earrings. She walked to stand in front of the mirror, then clasped the necklace around her neck and the earrings in her ears.
Finally, they were set to leave. Rita slipped out of the slippers she wore on her feet and slid into the white heels that were quite high.
Leia nodded as she assessed her from head to toe, and finally, for the last touch, she handed a white, expensive purse to her, then together they strolled out of the room.
