Chapter 18: Love at first Sight

Levi walked into his make up room. He had arrived early on purpose to avoid running into people who would delay him here and there. Who would have thought that he would run into an angel? One that liked to stay hidden from the world.

He would understand it if she had any blemish or ugly mark but damn, who would have thought that she was flawless under the mask. Her eyes have captured his soul the first time he saw them after their little accident . His heart beat increased just thinking of her face. It was strange. He left her not long ago yet he missed her. '

He was a well known C.E.O cum model who owned his own company. Yet no one knew about his silly habits. He was a man who have this little silly habits of wanting to keep every little thing a memory.

Be it a sweet, chocolate wrapper or a piece of the pencil or whatever gift he was given. He have the habit of cherishing the little sweet and cute things people do for him from the bottom of their hearts.

Thinking of the masked girl,he wished that he could wrap her up and keep her with him as a sweet memory. Darling, he thought, so that whenever you are far from me, I can cherish the piece of you that is eternally a memory in my heart, locked away from the cruelty of the world.

Levi was a man like no other. . While in the midst of a happy crowd, he hid his tears and covered them with a smile. Among the relaxed souls, he felt odd but stayed just to feel a sense of belonging. Sometimes, words are not the only ways of expressing ourselves.

In exemptions of pictures, sketches, paints, drawings and colors, there are so many shades of art if only you could take the time to see. That he who blends in the crowd most, is the one who doesn't fit at all.

This could describe him in a nutshell. He was a perfect man to the world yet he knew, the broken child that lived inside his heart. For a moment, he thought ,'What if she had an invincible scar that she liked to hide from the world? What was the story behind her mask and hidden identity? Who was she?"

As these questions circulated in his head, he sat on his makeup chair ready for his artist. Emilio was the artist behind all the models that were invited to the fashion show. He was paid to do their make up and that was exactly what he was doing when Levi asked him out of the blues with his eyes closed.

" Why do you think a beautiful girl would want to hide her face from the world when she has a face that could elicit a war ? As a make up artist, you use the human face as the canvas where you show case your art. From an artist's point of view, what do you think would make a beautiful woman want to stay hidden from the world?"

Jasmine's ethereal features came into his mind the moment he heard the question. Was it just a coincidence or was the man talking about his sister? Not wanting to give anything away, he replied nonchalantly. " Everyone has a reason for doing whatever they do. That is why there is an unwritten rule never to judge a book by its cover. "

He paused giving Levi the impression that he was thinking before replying to his questions. " The same way we apply make up to enhance our beauty , someone can wear a mask to create an air of mystery to the world. That's my thought. But why did you ask such a question? " he asked trying to sound as casual as possible.

Emilio believed that his entire family was made up of artists. Where Jasmine uses a brush and pencil to draw on a canvas, he used the same tools to make people look beautiful. The same way, Max used his hands to operate and save lives , his dad and little brother used a pen to come up with ideas on expanding their businesses.

Everything in the world was an art to him. He found pleasure and beauty in things that could normally be perceived as ugly by others. That's why he liked to call Jasmine angel. Unlike others, her features needed no enhancing. Sometimes, he felt disappointed that he would not be able to apply his skills on her.

Levi thought of an answer to give his make up artist. He didn't know why he blurted out that question when he didn't even know the name of his artist. He could feel embarrassment take over as he cleared his throat in an attempt to make the awkwardness go away.

" I was just curious about why people wore masks when they are a gift to humanity. That's all. Don't mind me. By the way, I am Levi. How may I address you?" He asked. Emilio shrugged off the man's behavior as he continued with his master piece. " Am Emillio. Nice to make your acquaintance. "

"Likewise." He answered as he closed his eyes once more dreaming of a certain hidden beauty. It would be a very beautiful and welcomed surprise if she was the face of the evening's fashion show. He had met her an hour ago but he already missed those emerald eyes.

Unfortunately, this time, he didn't get the pleasure of seeing her face. He let out a heavy sigh as he drifted of to fantasy land dreaming of a certain someone. Emilio looked at the man and shook his head. 'Probably another victim to his sister's beauty if what he was thinking was true.

Well, I have a model to seduce. Even though I don't like her, I have to do it for my dearest sister. How does the girl look anyway? Why don't I know about her? I must be too absorbed in my own world to notice others. Yes. That must be it.

But would you blame me for not being interested in models when I have an angel for a sister? Besides, who said that everyone with a beautiful face had a beautiful heart? Take that woman for instance. She was from a good back ground, had a beautiful face from what he have heard from others and is always sort out by suitors.

Yet, she had one of the most inhuman hearts he have seen to date. Who would play with an innocent girl's heart just to help make herself feel good? Who would befriend another person with the soul intention to harm if not a monster ?

He placed his things back in his makeup kit and quietly left the room leaving the man to his thought. He had a vixen to seduce. Wish me luck Jasmine, he thought heading for the adjacent makeup room.
