After few minutes of reflecting on her life, she showered and dress up for the day. She wore one of her best cloth since she would be going to sign a deal with Mac Entertainment. By the time she was done dressing, Hannah was awake.

"Good morning Valeria" Hannah greeted rubbing her sleepy eyes

"Good morning sleeping beauty" Valeria teased

"Why are you dressed up so early?" Hannah asked sitting up

"I will be signing a deal with Mac Entertainment" Valeria replied applying lip gloss on her small lips

"Really?" Hannah asked excitedly

"The cloth is nice but adding a little accessories to it will make it look so good on you and stylish of course" Hannah said looking at her from head to toe.

"I'm looking good like this" Valeria said checking the inbuilt mirror of her wardrobe. She was putting on a long white A-shape gown with flower patterns and a gladiator sandal, she packed her hair in ponytail with a floral pattern bow, a star necklace and earrings.

"You look good but more accessories make you look classy" Hannah said walking back to her wardrobe to check for some accessories. She came back to Valeria who was still wondering what was wrong with her outfit. She added a pink corset to Valeria's gown and added fashion chains to the corset. She changed Valeria's gladiator sandal to a pink ankle boot, added more necklace to the one she was putting on and wore some knuckle rings on her fingers.

"This bracelet I'm about to give you is only for a friend I cherish and that's why you will be having it" Hannah said putting the bracelet on her. She added few hair pins to her hair and changed the floral bow to a pink bow.
