Aurora stood in the elegant confines of her private showroom, her team bustling around her as they finalized her look for the night.
The dress she wore was a breathtaking masterpiece—a floor-length gown of midnight blue satin, delicately embroidered with silver threads that shimmered like constellations under the light.
A teardrop diamond necklace adorned her neck, and her hair was styled into an intricate updo, accentuating her graceful features.
When she was finally ready, Aurora stepped out of the showroom to find Xander waiting in the adjacent lounge. He stood tall in a tailored black tuxedo, his presence commanding and refined. His piercing gaze softened as it landed on her, and a rare, warm smile curved his lips.
"You look stunning, sweetheart," Xander said, his voice rich with admiration.
Aurora's cheeks flushed slightly, but she met his gaze confidently. "Thank you. You clean up well yourself."
