Housewife Gone Wild

Chapter 240

The grand opening ceremony was nothing short of spectacular. The old Harmonia Hotel had been completely transformed into Dreamy Ripples with a style so different it felt like crossing from one era into another. It was truly something to marvel at.

The hotel’s new name had been chosen at great expense by a celebrity fortune–teller, and the entrance was meticulously designed–every line, mirror, and crystal placed just so–to summon luck and prosperity. The whole setup was both ingenious and stunning.

The hall was packed with nearly sixty tables, the whole place buzzing with celebration and joy.

As the manager of the hotel, I was definitely in the spotlight today. Dressed in a vibrant magenta gown, with my hair swept up in a stylish bun, I looked both professional and charming as I mingled confidently among the VIPS.
