Maxwell knows exactly what that means; he's too ugly to show his face.
He turns up his nose at the other man, considering snapping back that his features are just fine, thank you very much, but--

"No, I don't object."
This... could be fun, maybe. His would-be employer is certainly polite enough to "mask" his truthful appraisal with that line about mystery, and Max has always been intrigued by intrigue itself...
"I trust you'll find something suitably dashing for me to conceal myself with. What exactly would I be expected to do once you have me all dolled up?"
Cecil's eyes scan the figure from head to toe, lingering longest on his face. It's not...beautiful in the conventional sense, but it carries its own sense of dignity.
❛ For you, more than adequate. ❜

Flutters eyelashes.
❛ Don't you want to work for me? ❜
If you're pretty enough, all you have to do is stand there in nice clothes.
