Inside the elevator, a thin man's figure was reflected in the bright and smooth walls.
Today, in order to conceal herself from others, Anthea dressed in a man's suit.
She had put on a hat to hide her long hair. She had also made her skin black with the foundation makeup, and drawn a few freckles on her nose and cheekbones and a big mole on her right cheek.
Anthea even felt sick herself when she looked at the ugly face in the mirror.
Probably, her parents might not be able to recognize her either!
She sneaked into the bride's lounge, where sat Emily in a white wedding dress. This was the most beautiful moment for a woman in her life.
"You're so beautiful!" She praised in a low voice.
When Emily saw Anthea, she just responded with a polite smile.
Anthea walked in and sat next to her. She could not help touching the wedding dress, but Emily reproached her unpleasantly.
She was suddenly overjoyed.
Looks like her elaborate makeup had successfully fooled her best friend!
She felt much more relieved.
After all, the bridegroom was Adam's youngest brother. Although soldiers were not allowed to go abroad at will, they could still get approved in some special cases. The Chin Family had all arrived today, and so did Adam!
Thinking of him, Anthea's heart ached.
She ran away secretly and only left him a message. She couldn't imagine what he would do!
He must be very angry.
"Knock! Knock!"
Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door.
A tall and strong figure suddenly appeared at the door. Dressed with a suit and a tie, he looked very formal.
The handsome face took Anthea's breath away and her heart missed a beat.
She gasped and hurriedly lowered her head, only daring to look at the military boot on his feet.
She kept her head down and shrank her shoulders, trying her best not to be noticed.
"Don't look at me! Don't look at me!"
She murmured in her heart.
Adam was here to inform the bride that the wedding was about to begin. He put out the cigarette in his hand and walked inside.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, Anthea pulled down the brim of her hat to cover her face as much as possible. She was afraid that she would expose herself if she stayed too long, so she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Well, Emily, I'll go out first!"
After that, she leaned against the wall and wanted to leave.
As she and Adam passed by each other, Anthea accelerated her pace.
Just as she was about to escape from the scene in two or three steps, someone grabbed her wrist.
On her skin, there was a familiar gun calluses feeling.
Anthea turned around in a panic and saw Adam narrow his eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you going to run again?"
"Oh, no!"
Anthea turned pale with fright.
Her pupils flickered. She stuttered, "Adam, how, how did you recognize me?"
She thought that even her parents wouldn't be able to recognize her with the makeup, as Emily, who had grown up together with her, was also fooled.
He actually recognized her!
Adam strode forward to her front and sneered, "Anthea, I can recognize you no matter how you disguise yourself!"
He had seen her from the moment he entered the room.
