I arrived at Eleina's salon and the place was full. She was an expert in beauty and styling hence her busy salon. She hugged me and kissed me either side of my cheeks.
"First, lets get your nails ready so you can tell me exatly what we need to do,?" she winked.
"Thanks Eliena, I am so grateful for you, you know."
"O darling, here is a cup of tea and a biscuit, now I am thinking of doing pastelle nails today."
"That sounds exotic what are they?"
"My newest skill, wait and see, I will be one minute."
She started and to my surprise put polish on a spunge layering a pale, orange and pink colour. She pressed the spunge on my nails and there was my pastelle nails.
We chatted the rest of the time.
"Ok darling so tell me when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow night," I whispered.
"Fiji, Europe, Africa?"
"Magnolia," she stopped for a moment. She knew where I meant, afterall she trained with me.
"But, darling it is so dangerous?"
"I will be ok, besides I have you to help me set up and get the look right."
As my nails were drying she brought out a pallet of hair coulours and her make-up kit.
"Two shades darker," she said as her eyes squinted.
"Rach would you mind mixing up this colour for me please?" she asked her practise manager.
"Absolutly," she said with a big smile.
"I love her colour lipstick." I said as she walked out.
"Oh yes, the nude is in again, with a red outer lip," she said as played around with make up and getting angles and countouring right so I would look like Miss Korea as much as possible.
After she was done, she showed me a picture of Miss Korea and we could easily be mistaken for sisters. I knew my passport would come in tomorrow and I wondered what my alias name would be.
"Any news for yourself?" I asked Eleina.
"Negative, based right here for the next three monts, but you never know things can change quickly."
"Yes things change all the time. Thanks Eleina, for your help and everything." I said as I gathered my things.
"Sure darling, you will need this," she pushed a briefcase into my hand.
"Gadgets and all sorts.O and honey send me postcards regularly."
She kissed my cheeks before I left.
Once I arrived home I opened the briefcase to inspect all my gadgets.
