„Hold on a second, don't move."
With her legs crossed elegantly Millie sat in her Makeup chair trying to hold still while Kelsey was applying a perfect sharp eyeliner wing on her lids.

She felt her phone buzzing in her hands constantly but she needed to be patient so everything would turn out perfect- just the way her stylists wanted it to be.

„Okay, done!" The makeup artist seemed proud of her work. Justified of course, Millie thought as she saw the reflection of her face in the mirror. „You're always doing amazing, Kels." She praised her with a smile. „Oh I know," Kelsey joked, „What kind of a Makeup artist would I be if not?"
Millie joined her grinning while looking out the window astonished by the stunning view of the Eiffel Tower amidst the morning sky. She's been there many times but she never could get enough of the view.

Paris looked to her like it was painted on a huge canvas. Rosy clouds watching over a golden city lightened weakly by the rays of the morning sunshine.

At least the view could make her morning tolerable. It was 7am, she even haven't had her coffee yet, her phone was buzzing all five minutes while she was trying not to fall asleep during her getting-ready process with her team.

But her team was always caring about her wellbeing and health, so Bridget, her hairstylist, entered the room holding one cup of coffee in one hand and a smoothie bowl in the other. She carefully placed it in front of Millie who's Makeup was finished now.
„Açai bowl!" She squealed happily looking at her breakfast, „You know how to make my mornings, Bridget, thank you so much."
Her stylist nodded in approval before putting her equipment suitcase on the table and grabbing out the hair products she needed.

„Your friends aren't going to be there?" She noticed Sadie's name on the display by throwing a quick glance on Millies phone.
„Why should they?" She shrugged in confusion.
„I don't know, to support you? I mean a big project lies ahead of you. Probably one of the biggest .." She explained while experimenting some theoretical hairstyles on Millie.
„They support me mentally. Unfortunately they can't be here tonight. Sadie has a lot of work to do and Noah.. whatever he is doing." She chuckled thinking about him probably filming a YouTube video or something.

Speaking of the devil, she felt her phone buzzing again and realized somebody was calling her on FaceTime.
She threw a quick glance to Bridget.
„Mind if I take this?"
She nodded. „I need to get something downstairs anyway. Be right back."
As soon as she quit the room Millie pressed the accept button.

„Millay!" Her best friends' voice resounded from the other line happily.
„Hey Schnips." She took a sip of her coffee. „What's new?"
„Look I've got myself a shell box!" He screamed into the microphone showing her proudly his new device what was kind of a trend at that time, like the fidget spinner of 2022.
She rolled her eyes. „Oh my god Noah, will you ever grow up?"
„No wait, you need to see it, it has even light effects!" He presented her the functions of it but she seemed still not convinced.
„ Why don't you spend your money for something more important? You're always buying such unnecessary stuff."
She educated him leaning forward to see the screen better.
„Anyways where are you right now?" He was squinting his eyes trying to recognize the environment around her.
„Oh, this is a plain hotel room, you can stop guessing. I'm currently in Paris for the Enola Holmes 2 press. You could say I'm living my best life right now." She smiled proudly.
„You're always living your best life, Millster. Tell me something I don't know." He joked changing the topic afterwards.
