Just as Lisa turned to walk away, she thought of something and grabbed Lily's hand. "No, come with me!"
She took Lily to the backstage dressing room. Lisa was treated nicely by the organizer, and had a private dressing room. It was so much quieter when they went in and closed the door.
The smell in the room was confusing as it was full of various scents of cosmetics.
"I think it's quite suitable for you. However, I don't know if you’d like it or not." Lily took out a pinkish purple bottle with a ribbon tied around the mouth. "It's not a lot as it's just a preliminary test product. I can adjust it according to your liking, but it needs time!"
"Of course, you must’ve done well!" Lisa opened it impatiently, sprayed a little on her wrist, and sniffed it.
Lily looked at Lisa's expression as it changed from one of contented happiness to a blank stare, but she said nothing. There was none of the happiness she had before.
Lisa then straightened up and gave Lily a smile. "It's good. I like it! "
"Really?" Lily knew from her expression that Lisa did not like it as much as she said.
"Really!" Nodding forcefully, Lisa insisted, "It smells very comfortable and fragrant. It's the smell I like. I'll say you know me best! By the way, how much should I pay you?"
Lily said while pushing her hand away, "Don't ask about the price, or I’ll take it back since I promised to help you. Of course, I couldn't take the money. Next time though, I’ll charge!"
Since she said so, Lisa did not argue anymore, so she nodded with a smile. "Okay, then I'll accept it. How about letting me treat you to dinner?"
Lily declined. "I can't make it today since I still have some stuff to do. Let's go another time! You are going to be here for a few more days, right?"
