Chapter 45 Birthday party

The day of Mr. Saint Laurent's birthday celebration had arrived, and Claire was busy preparing for the event. She had hired a makeup artist and hairstylist to ensure she looked her best for the occasion. Claire also has invited Talia to help her getting ready.

As Talia rummaged through Claire's closet, her eyes landed on a stunning white long-sleeve split maxi dress. With excitement, she pulled it out and presented it to Claire, who was in the midst of getting her nails and hair done.

Claire raised her eyebrows at the sight of the white dress, a hint of skepticism in her expression

"Isn't this a bit too... I don't know...bridal?" she remarked, her voice tinged with amusement.

Talia waved off Claire's concern with a dismissive gesture. "Oh, come on, Claire. It's gorgeous, and even if it were a wedding dress, who cares? You'll look stunning in it."

Claire couldn't help but smile at Talia's enthusiasm. "Alright, you've convinced me. Let's go with it."

With her hair and makeup completed, Claire turned her attention to Talia. "You should come to the party with me, Talia. It'll be fun." "I don't know...I mean I don't even know the old man and I don't want to be stamp as an uninvited guest who so desperately want to attend."

Claire chuckled. "Oh, come on no one will think that and beside you are with me, and I got the invitation."

"Okay, okay, you convince me. I'll come with you,"

"Greta!"

Claire instructed the makeup artist and hairstylist to work their magic on Talia while she headed to change into her chosen dress. Just as she was about to slip into it, the doorbell of her penthouse rang.

Opening the door, Claire greeted Sandra with a warm smile. Sandra handed her a watch, which Claire had asked her to find.

"Here is the watch you told me to find, Ms. Peterson."
