Suddenly, a bright light emanated from her face, giving her an eerie appearance, and the room took on an eerie atmosphere. With a quiver in his voice, one of the men asked, “What did | just see? Did you all see that too?”
Everyone in the room had perplexed looks on their faces.
Just now, when the bright light fell on Millie’s face, they purposefully widened their eyes, expecting to see a beautiful woman. Instead of that, however, they were confronted with a terrible visage. Millie's scars, which covered her entire face, were a web of red and black lines. When her dark lips parted to expose a gaping mouth, she looked like a demonic monster.
They did not know a human could look so terrifying.

He had never seen someone so hideous as Millie. “Get lost, you ugly freak!” Harvey spat.
The others’ stomachs chumed, and a nauseous feeling overtook them from the combination of alcohol and Millie’s repulsive appearance.
“Ugh!” They clutched their stomachs and started throwing up. Millie purposely stayed by Harvey’s side to make him feel even more uncomfortable.
He could not look at her anymore, though. He wiped his lips with the back of his hand and pushed her away.
