Amid the recommendations of numerous attendants, Emma Hart casually pointed to a selection, noting her past choices had been quite successful but perhaps too eye-catching for her taste.
"Let's go with this black one," Emma decided, choosing a simple black gown that seemed modest enough not to stand out too much at the party.
Damien Sterling glanced at her choice, offering no comment, allowing her to pick as she pleased.
The attendant, pleased with the selection, quickly processed the gown, clearly accustomed to lavish spending without a second glance at the price.
Approaching Damien directly, the attendant saw an opportunity for efficiency.
Damien, without hesitation, pulled out his card and handed it over.
Emma was already used to such transactions. Besides, attending these high-end events wasn't her norm but Damien's invitation, making it only right that he covered the expenses.
