I pretended to be moved and said, "Madison, your foundation is already wearing off. You should go back and have a rest."
Madison's expression changed. "Really? It's nothing. Let's get in the car first."
I didn't say anything else and walked straight towards the car. Then, I stopped by the car door.
"Chloe, what's wrong?" Henry asked me with concern.
I seemed to struggle with understanding. "Won't you help me open the door? Well, of course. You have always been at home. How could you know the manners of the nobles abroad?"
After saying that, I pretended to open the door myself.
"Wait." Henry suddenly stopped me and forced a smile. "That's right. Let me help you open the door."
After saying that, he opened the car door in a pretentious manner and made a gesture as if to say, "Please, after you."
Henry was undoubtedly putting on a show. But I already knew what kind of person he was.
I scoffed in my heart as I got into the car and saw Madison, with her back to the car door, touching up her makeup with a cushion foundation.
*****
On the drive home, perhaps because I had just mocked Madison and Henry, neither of them initiated any conversation with me.
Three people each had different thoughts.
