Chapter 142: December 26
December 26 dawned cold and bright, the winter sun threw golden light on the snow-covered street
Outside Eira's flagship store, a small crowd had gathered, braving the chill to catch a glimpse of the grand opening.
A red carpet stretched out from the glass doors, lined with ropes and decorated with beautiful winter wreaths.
Inside, Eira was in the center of the room, her heart pounded as she watched the final touches come together.
Shelves shined with neatly organized displays of her new collection.
The soft lighting gave a warm glow, and the scent of fresh flowers filled the event.
Her team was busy around her—Mia checking the guest list, Lydia adjusting the music, Brian arranging champagne glasses on a polished table.
Everyone was smiling, excited, and proud to see how far they had come.
"Eira."
She turned to see Elias approaching with a glass of champagne in hand.
