Chapter 41: Upscale Boutique
In an upscale boutique, Aurora strolled inside with Ava by her side, her eyes scanning the luxurious displays.
The Academy Awards were just around the corner, and although her latest film wasn't high-budget, it had garnered attention.
For Aurora, that was enough.
Her career was building, and she was determined to show up looking stunning.
As they walked through the racks, Aurora's gaze landed on a particular dress.
It was elegant, shimmering softly under the boutique's lights, with intricate beadwork that caught her eye.
She reached out, running a hand over the fabric, admiring the craftsmanship.
Ava stood beside her, looking at a few pieces of her own, but even she couldn't help but notice the dress Aurora was focused on.
"That one's a showstopper," Ava commented, glancing at Aurora with a smile.
Before Aurora could respond, a voice interrupted their quiet admiration.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" The tone was dripping with disdain.
