Not long after the meeting was over.
Everything Luxury's staff, dressed in sleek, black tailored uniforms that shimmered subtly under the evening lights, walked closely beside Cora. Their demeanor was respectful yet firm each of them carefully positioned around her like a private security escort. One of them held the Diamond Dress Boss, its case elegant and glowing faintly through the translucent protective box. It was a symbol of wealth, beauty, and now, power.
As they reached her car an obsidian black Mercedes-Maybach parked just beside the main entrance the staff carefully placed the dress in the backseat with gloved hands, making sure not even a fingerprint would tarnish its perfection. Then, in a synchronized motion, they all gave Cora a formal bow before stepping back and dispersing into the building.
Cora stood alone for a brief second.
Her hair fluttered slightly in the breeze, her hand reaching for the car door. But before she could open it.
