At a nail salon next to Bae Studios, Jennie and Irene were having their nails done.
"It's such a hassle being pregnant. You can't do anything!" Irene called Joy to get their nails done, but was rejected on the pretext of pregnancy.
"Pregnant women should pay more attention to their well being!" Jennie didn't look up from the album she was perusing.
"What do you think of Joy getting bigger? I've read that a woman's figure will never be the same even after she gives birth." Irene sounded so horrified, as if she was talking about something terrible.
"I want this pattern for my nails." Jennie pointed to a photo then quickly placed her hand back into the dryer.
She then looked at Irene and said, "Look, I know you're scared, but it's not like you need to have children when you get married."
"If it'll really affect my figure, then I'll have to think about it." Irene said after some serious thought.
"Rest assured, not everyone will be affected and with good exercise, their figure can be recovered." Jennie said, "You've seen so many female stars in TV, it's not like you can't live without a child."
"That's what I said!" Irene seemed to have perked up, so she asks "Your expression today can rival a bright spring day, are you going to go on a date later?"
"Date? How can I go date when you just gave me a job?" Jennie tilted her head towards the documents in her bag.
"Oh yeah!" Irene exclaimed with a smile. "Isn't that unexpected? But Lisa just came home, we can talk about the contract later?"
"Forget it!" Jennie sighed. "Lisa's really busy, getting up early in the morning without telling people. If we're talking about dating, you're the one who looks like they have plenty of things to do today."
Deliberately dressed, Irene winked at her and said: "I need to look ambiguous and play with mens' fantasies. Unlike you, I have to dress meticulously!"
"You're too beautiful to look ambiguous. Sigh, I'm all dressed up but all I'm doing is working, totally wasted!" Jennie regretfully shook her head as she spoke.
"That's the wrong way to be thinking!" Irene said, "Women should dress up for nobody but themselves. We women look beautiful all the time."
"And you're not tired?" Before her rebirth, Jennie used to spend the whole day in her pyjamas during weekends. Being beautiful all the time sounded tiring.
"What's there to be tired of?" Teacher Irene started bestowing her knowledge. "As long as you have the 3 cards - beauty, hairdressing and fitness, and every dress is paired with exquisite shoes, you'll naturally be surrounded by beautiful things. No need to deliberately work hard, you'll be beautiful and delicate all the time."
"Don't forget one more, the nail card!" Jennie wiggled her fingers.
"Beauty salons nowadays include manicures."
"They also include hairdressing now too, ah!"
"No, no you don't understand. Beauty salons that have hairdressers are all chain stores, not professional at all. I have a dedicated stylist." Irene said, "You shouldn't be penny pinching when it comes to these things!"
"I understand!" Jennie bowed, after her rebirth she had spent some money to maintain her looks, but she definitely cannot be compared to Irene who looks like she just tosses her money.
