Natalia nodded, "You're Mr. Rivera, right?"
Zavier was a well-known figure, recognized by many. However, much like Marcus. He kept a low profile and rarely appeared in the media, keeping his appearance a mystery to the public.
Zavier didn't directly confirm whether he was Mr. Rivera or not. Instead, he stared at her for a bit before saying, "Your eyes. They're a bit like hers, but your overall expression is totally different."
Natalia asked, "Mr. Rivera, what are you talking about?"
Zavier didn't answer her. Instead, he waved to the outside and two women with makeup kits came in, "Mr. Rivera."
Zavier pointed at Natalia, "Can you guys make her look a bit like the woman in the photo?"
The two makeup artists scrutinized Natalia, then said, "Mr. Rivera, don't worry. With our makeup skills, we can even make her look like the woman’s twin."
Their forte was impersonating others. The fact that Natalia already had some resemblance to the woman in the photo made their job easier.
Zavier asked, "How long will it take?"
One of the makeup artists responded, "This kind of imitation makeup usually takes several hours, but we can do it in one hour."
Zavier glanced at his wristwatch, "I'll give you one hour. After that, it'll be dawn. If you can't finish, you better figure something out."
The makeup artists nodded respectfully, "Alright."
"Start. Once you're done, have her come to me." With that said, Zavier left. After a couple of steps, he turned back to look at a puzzled Natalia, "Have you met Cornelia?"
Natalia nodded, "I have."
However, she was taken aback when the makeup artists placed a photo of Cornelia in front of the mirror before they started.
Natalia was stunned, "You're making me look like Cornelia?"
Just now, Zavier asked her to mimic Cornelia's speech and movements. Could it be that Cornelia and Marcus had a history?
Probably not. Whenever Cornelia mentioned Marcus, her eyes didn't show the affection a woman would have for a man. So why were they making her look like Cornelia?
Natalia thought hard about it; the idea that popped up in her mind gave her a start. They weren't planning to frame Cornelia through her, were they?
They wanted her to impersonate Cornelia to approach Marcus. Success would be great. But if she failed, Marcus might suspect that "Cornelia" had ulterior motives towards him. And in that case, he would surely dismiss the real Cornelia.
