Natural face? Nicole gently lifted Melissas chin. Your nose looks unnatural, and your chin seems fake. Your eyes are stretched upwards. Are you trying to say you were born like this?
Nicoles taller stature, by ten centimeters, made her look down at Melissa, leaving Melissa feeling belittled.
Melissa struggled unsuccessfully to free herself.
Nicole, tall and formidable, easily maintained her grasp.

This disparity explained why, despite their similar features, Melissa seemed like a flawed imitation of Nicole.
Nicoles stunning and captivating appearance needed some height to match its allure. A shorter height would seem a bit odd as her face didnt quite match her stature.
Are you some sort of famous beauty? Why do I want to resemble you?
Melissa said with a ridiculous and laughable tone.

A shadow passed over Nicoles expression as she returned to her restroom, secured the door, and retrieved a device resembling an earphone from her bag.
Earlier, while pinching Jamies chin, Nicole had covertly attached a listening device to the underside of her collar. Now, she only needed to wait for Jamie to make a call to uncover the secrets of her prolonged concealment.
Soon, Jamies anxious voice filled the earphone. Hello, its me.
Who told you to call me! The response was harsh and impatient. The raspy voice obscured their identity, leaving Nicole uncertain of their gender.
