NovelBookEve squirmed under the scrutinizing gazes, feeling like a specimen under a microscope. Her curvaceous figure, while appealing in person, might translate to "bulky" on camera. She was a foodie at heart, and if she couldn't shed spounds, this golden opportunity might slip through her fingers like sand in an hourglass.
Freya eyed Eve and clenched her fists, determination etched on her face. This was her shot, and she wasn't about to let it slip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDebra, ever the keen observer, caught the silent exchange from the corner of her eye.
"This afternoon, you'll all head to the stuon the second floor for a promotional photo shoot," Hannah announced, turning on her heel to leave.
She paused, casting a glance at Eve. "You might want to skip lunch, Eve. The camera adds ten pounds, you know." Eve waved off the concern, even as she began to calculate the calories she'd need to burn. "What's there to worry about? That's what Photoshop is for, right?" Freya chimed in, "Eve, you should eat. You'll need the energy for the intense training later." Eve scoffed, "Afraid I'll outshine you if I slim down? After all, there are only a few stars among us trainees, and my ranking is just as high as yours." Ashley fanned the flames.

As the captain, Freya was the first to get her makeup done. The makeup Ο Π artists and stylists were running N around trying to keep up. Eve's impatience boiled over. "Get away! Don't touch my face!"
The artist recoiled, eyes wide. Eve stormed off to a corner, dialing an number on her phone. When she returned, she sat regally to the side, watching Freya's makeup session with a smirk. "Those who can't afford their glam squad have to settle for this. I, however, only trust my personal team."
