Chapter 396 Feeling Like A Mafia Boss
Hera felt a warm surge in her heart at her grandfather’s concern. She answered with a calm, reassuring tone, "Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ve got everything under control and a plan in motion. Just hang tight and let things unfold. I promise you, I’m handling it." She kept the details of her plan to herself, not wanting to add to his worry, while also seizing the opportunity to demonstrate her capabilities.
Besides, she had the resources and manpower to make this happen, so she wasn’t overly worried.
After exchanging a few more caring reminders, the grandfather and granddaughter ended their call. Hera then went to her bathroom for a quick wash-up before heading to her walk-in closet. This time, she was in the mood for a different style that suited her current mood.
Her eyes fell on a dark brown leather trench coat, sparking an idea. She quickly found a matching dark brown fitted turtleneck long sleeve and a dark brown leather miniskirt, which was five inches above her knee. She paired these with dark brown leather boots that came just below her knees. Fortunately, her wardrobe was stocked with everything she might need, whether she wanted something chic, casual, formal, or feminine.
As someone who relishes dressing up for herself, Hera found her wardrobe to be a personal paradise. She could effortlessly adjust her style to match her mood. After selecting her outfit for the day, she turned to her accessories. She chose a pair of earrings that resembled bangles—not too large, but certainly not small—perfectly complementing her look.
She complemented her look with a Jaeger-LeCoultre Joaillerie 101 Manchette watch. The cuff-style watch, featuring five cubed links, was a blend of polished precious metals and 576 diamonds. Its bangle-like appearance made the watch’s hands nearly invisible, but its sophisticated design perfectly complemented her outfit.
She considered two necklaces she really liked: a delicate pearl pendant on a silver chain and a choker with a pretzel-like design adorned with small diamonds. Unable to choose between them, she decided to wear both. The longer pearl necklace draped gracefully, complementing the shorter diamond choker, which rested elegantly on her collarbone. Together, they created a harmonious and refined look.
She completed her ensemble with a few bold, sassy rings and finished off with an Hermès Sac Bijou Birkin, its gold-toned leather studded with diamonds. The bag was so exquisitely designed it could almost double as a bracelet. Embracing her look, she decided to revel in her style and let the opinions of others roll off her back, confident in her choice and ready to enjoy herself.
She let her hair cascade freely and stood before the floor-to-ceiling mirror, admiring her new look. With a sassy, edgy vibe that starkly contrasted her usual angelic appearance, she now exuded a seductive allure. Even though her outfit was modest, save for the miniskirt, it was undeniably captivating, sparking imagination rather than revealing too much. Her fitted turtleneck accentuated her figure, highlighting her curves without overt display. Raising an eyebrow and flashing a satisfied smile at her reflection, Hera felt a thrill of confidence before stepping out of her room.
