Lina turned around and returned to her seat reluctantly.

Natalie unzipped the garment bag containing the actual dress meant for the runway. “All right, we’ll start doing Sal’s makeup now. Lina, you’re in charge of doing her hair.”

Lina nodded. “Okay.”

While they went about with their preparations, Annette and Lacey glanced at their watches over in the dressing room.

“There are only fifteen minutes left before the show starts, but they’re not back yet. Aren’t they going to come and get their dress?” Lacey sounded a little worried as she looked at the time.
