It had been three days since Sofia had received the treatment, and so far, her body was doing well. Just last night. Hugo had told her that there had been a lot of improvements in her blood,

That’s a mermaid dress. It won’t be comfortable,” Sofia replied. In front of them were clothes that Sofia had designed herself. Today, their goal was to choose a dress for her birthday.

Sofia held up the black dress against herself and studied it in the mirror. “Classy, but maybe a bit too serious. It’s a birthday party, after all”

“Got it! What about the floral one? It’s festive and not too formal Karina grinned, showing her dislike for floral colors.

They could announce the fact that she would become one of the board of directors after her birthday instead. She wanted to celebrate this inside the company- with the employees.

On her birthday, only executives would be invited. She decided not to invite socialites that she had not even interacted with in the past. Luckily, her grandmother agreed. So, her birthday had become smaller. The three guests that her grandmother originally planned became fifty.

“I told her… we can make this as grand as possible. After all, receiving her inheritance is not going to be a small milestone.” Eulanda’s voice suddenly echoed behind them. Sofia froze for a few seconds before she turned and saw the dashing woman wearing an all-black ensemble.

“Grandmother…” Sofia smiled. “How come you are here?”

“So now I don’t have the right to visit my only granddaughter?” Eulanda lifted an eyebrow She then looked at Miss Amores. “I need coffee. No sugar or milk.”
