The room erupted in light applause. Aurora joined in, her expression calm but pleased. Olivia barely moved, her applause half-hearted as bitterness settled in her chest.
Stephanie's expression grew more animated as she added, "Before we wrap up, there's one more piece of news I'd like to share. We will be hosting a very special visit next week—Her Royal Highness, the Princess of Octavia, and a few other members of the royal family will be touring our winery."
A murmur of excitement rippled through the room. The prospect of a royal visit was a monumental opportunity for Vintage Cellar, and the directors exchanged eager glances.
Olivia's lips parted into a wide grin. A royal visit could open doors for her to forge new connections, something she desperately craved. Ideas of networking and personal advancement filled her mind as Stephanie elaborated on the details.
