Olivia held Eugene’s jacket in her hands, the pocket still containing the badge she had dropped at the fire
scene.
Everything indicated that it was Eugene who had led her out of the blaze.
But how had he disappeared in the blink of an eye?
“Could he be injured?”
Olivia was puzzled and immediately wanted to check on Eugene, who had bravely rescued others.
After asking around, someone mentioned they thought they saw Eugene heading back to the makeup
room.
“But I just saw him covering his face; he might have burned it. With the fierce flames earlier, anyone would be scared. Eugene wasn’t even in the warehouse initially, but for some reason, as soon as he knew about the fire, he rushed in without listening to anyone…”
Hearing this, Olivia was stunned.
She had thought Eugene was just coincidentally in the warehouse with her.
and he had been covering his face…
Could it be that his face was really burned?
Olivia immediately went to Eugene’s makeup room.
The door of the makeup room was locked from the inside, and the doorknob was covered in clear ash.
Clearly, Alexander had been there, and the ash must have come from his hands.
Olivia decisively knocked on the door.
Inside, Alexander, who was wiping off the ash and blood from his body with a towel, tensed up when he heard the knocking.
Receiving no response, Olivia frowned. Could it be that he was seriously burned and had passed out?
“Eugene, are you alright? If you don’t respond, I’m going to kick the door down!”
Alexander remained silent.
Just as Olivia was about to kick the door…
“I’m fine,” Alexander’s voice finally came through.
Relieved to hear he was alright, Olivia relaxed a bit.
“The fire was so intense, and you gave me your jacket. I’m a bit worried; open the door so I can see if you’re hurt.”

Chapter 403 Did Eugene Get Disfigured?

Alexander stopped what he was doing, but he didn’t move toward the door.
“Hello? Are you still alive?” Olivia sensed the silence again.
Her suspicion grew. Could he really have injured his face?
His voice didn’t sound weak from injury, but he still wouldn’t open the door.
And after rescuing her, he had run off…
Connecting this to the crew saying he was covering his face as he ran to the makeup room, Olivia strongly suspected that Eugene had indeed injured his face in the fire.
In an instant, Olivia felt a surge of sympathy…
Thinking of how Eugene had previously relied on his handsome face to charm wealthy women into supporting him, she imagined he must care a lot about his appearance, hence his severe reaction and reluctance to show his face now.
“Actually… I think a man’s looks aren’t that important.”
Inside the makeup room, Alexander was puzzled.
“Handsome men are mostly unreliable, wielding their looks like a weapon! Nowadays, in the
tertainment industry, rugged tough guys are in style, not pretty boys…”
Olivia tried hard to convey that looks weren’t everything.
“If you’re really worried… modern cosmetic surgery is excellent; there’s nothing they can’t fix…”
