The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2036

"Who's the makeup artist botching the job this time?"

Colton had not even fully entered the makeup trailer when his irritated voice cut through the air.

He burst through the door, visibly upset, "Do you have any idea we're all waiting on Ivy? The whole crew is held up because you can't find a damn eyeshadow palette?"

The makeup artist, already on edge from the missing item, was pushed over the edge by Colton's words, "But Colton, this particular palette is what we've used for her look from the start. Without it, the continuity will be off."

"So, you're telling me we're all supposed to stand around twiddling our thumbs for your eyeshadow palette?" Colton's anger escalated. "Do you have any clue how much money is going down the drain every minute we're not shooting?"

His outburst was the final straw, and tears began streaming down the makeup artist's face.

Sensing an impending showdown, Ivy quickly stepped in to console the makeup artist, "The director's just a little on edge. If the palette's gone, why don't we pop over to the nearest store and grab a new one?"

The makeup artist, who was not Ivy's biggest fan on a good day and was now being reprimanded because of her, shoved Ivy aside. "This palette is a limited edition; you can't just pick it up at any store. I pulled strings to get it, and now it's just vanished."

At that moment, Giselle slipped through the crowd to Colton's side, "Colton, let's just chill out a bit. The makeup artist is obviously stressed. It's not like she lost it on purpose."

Her eyes kept darting to Ivy's purse, and she reached back and tugged at it with a sly movement.
