Their intimacy was palpable, and time seemed to fly.
After an hour of passionate sex, the two showered and sat on the sofa. Joseph's voice held a hint of determination. “A few hours remain. If she doesn't deliver on her promise, her place is back at the headquarters."
Nevaeh's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Elsewhere, in her office, Lilah was engrossed in the live feed from the red carpet event.
At the red carpet event, camera flashes lit up the night. The air buzzed with electricity.
Every time a star stepped out, the crowd at the scene went wild, and the livestream exploded with comments from viewers.
Maggie showed up halfway through.
She stepped out in a glamorous black evening dress. It was paired with a gold necklace and bracelet that looked like they were made for each other. They screamed Luxury but not in a show-offy kind of way.
Her fans went wild.
"Maggie's Looking drop-dead gorgeous today!"
“Why aren't you my wife? Sweetie, you have my heart!"
"Check out that jewelry. Maggie sure knows her bling!"
"I'm so glad she didn't choose Aurora Jewelers. Who'd want their star to fade next to someone else?"
"Man, Aurora Jewelers' stuff must look like kid's play."
Maggie's choice in bling threw some serious shade at Aurora Jewelers.
The buzz took over Twitter. And soon, her team spilled the beans on where she got her glitter.
“That stunning set Maggie's wearing? It's a Phillips Jewelry piece, Adaline's design. Big shout out to Adaline. So happy to work with an Adaline jumped into the convo too.
Her fans showered her with praise.
When she saw all that love, Adaline's lips curled into a sly grin.
She'd been cozying up to Maggie recently. Looked like it paid off.
"Ms. Phillips, that was a genius move. With Maggie wearing your design, everyone's gonna think you've got way more game than Lilah at Aurora Jewelers," her assistant chimed in.
"Please, Aurora Jewelers wasn't even in the game to begin with,"
Adaline shot back with a frosty look, but she was on cloud nine inside.
Nothing beat the thrill of outshining Lilah.
