Lora got down the stage, her smile reaching her eyes as everyone complimented her work. Indeed of all the things that had happened to her, this was her proudest moment.

Although she had failed in love, she had succeeded in being a mother and nurturing her talent. Seeing everyone so happy and willing to spend millions of dollars because of her work made her chest fill with pride.

As the crowd spread out to mingle and eat, Lora looked for her best friend who just came to join them in the hall.

When their eyes met, Bianca squealed and rushed to her friend before giving her a hug. "You look gorgeous, my friend! This dress looks good on you."

Lora sighed and replied, "I thought I looked good too until I knew where the dress came from."

Bianca's eyes widened and Lora pulled her to the side where it was quieter.

"Are you saying Jason got you the dress?" Bianca asked. "That's so romantic!"

"No... I thought It was Jason but turns out it was Ryan," Lora replied, her eyebrows creasing.

Bianca gasped, her eyes rounding at her friend. She exclaimed, "Wow! That's new... I never thought he was the type to buy someone a dress."

"If I knew it was him, I wouldn't have worn the dress," Lora said, her anger rising at the thought.

"Why not? The dress is stunning and it looks expensive... it's a gift and it won't mean anything if you don't want it to," Bianca pointed out.

"It's easier said than done, Bee. You should have seen the smirk on his face when he saw that I wore the dress he bought," Lora replied, rolling her eyes. She looked at Bianca and added, "Enough about the dress. What's going on? How did you show up at the party and as one of the models?"

Bianca sighed... she was still in the emerald green gown that she had modelled in. She replied, "It's a long story and you wouldn't believe it."

Lora arched an eyebrow and said, "Try me."

Bianca cleared her throat. She appeared to be hesitant to speak. However, just as she was about to say something, a deep voice resonated in the air, interrupting her.
