After enjoying the snacks, Sofia felt the exhaustion from her hectic schedule catching up with her. She headed to her room, appreciating the comfort and familiarity of her surroundings.

The soft bed and tranquil atmosphere quickly lulled her into a deep sleep, and she rested peacefully until the evening sun set rays streamed through her windows.

Waking up, Sofia suddenly remembered her appointment with Julie at the club that evening. She jumped out of bed, her mind racing as she prepared for the meet-up.

She chose a white mini dress for the occasion, a dress that accentuated her tall and slender frame. The dress hugged her figure perfectly, highlighting her elegant silhouette. She paired it with black boots that added a touch of edge to her outfit, contrasting beautifully with the pristine white of her dress.

Standing in front of the mirror, Sofia took a moment to appreciate her reflection. The white dress complemented her aloof and noble demeanor, exuding a sense of sophistication and grace.

She applied light makeup, enhancing her natural features without overpowering them. The subtle touches of makeup highlighted her delicate beauty, making her look like a graceful fairy.

Her hair was styled simply, cascading down her back in soft waves that framed her face. The overall effect was enchanting, a blend of elegance and understated glamour. Sofia knew that she looked the part for a night out in the city, ready to join Julie for an evening of relaxation and fun.

Satisfied with her appearance, Sofia grabbed her essentials—a small clutch, her phone, and a touch-up kit—and headed out.

As she made her way through the mansion, the servants discreetly attended to their duties, but Sofia noticed a few admiring glances in her direction. She acknowledged them with a slight nod, maintaining her composed demeanor.

Stepping outside, Sofia felt a surge of anticipation. The cool evening air was refreshing, and she quickly called the driver to take her to the club. The driver, clearly impressed by her appearance, gave her a respectful nod as she settled into the back seat.

As the cab drove through the bustling streets of the capital, Sofia's thoughts turned to Julie. She was looking forward to their time together, knowing that Julie's vivacious spirit would provide a much-needed respite from her demanding life.

Arriving at the club, Sofia stepped out of the car,her presence commanding attention from those around her.

When Sofia entered the club, all eyes turned towards her, captivated by her striking appearance. She exuded an aura of elegance and grace, making it seem almost Blasphemous to have impure thoughts about her.

The white mini dress, paired with black boots, highlighted her tall, slender frame, and her light makeup gave her an ethereal quality, like a graceful fairy stepping into the mundane world.

"Hello, Sofia!" shouted Julie, waving enthusiastically as she spotted her friend. Sofia smiled and made her way through the crowd to Julie's table. The club was filled with music and chatter, but Sofia's presence seemed to create a momentary hush in her vicinity.

Reaching the table, Sofia greeted Julie with a warm hug. "Hey, Julie! Good to see you." She then turned to Julie's brother, offering a polite nod. "Hello, thank you for the invitation."

As she was about to settle down, Sofia's eyes caught sight of someone unexpected—Christ Roy. Her heart skipped a beat. What is he doing here? she wondered, her gaze fixed on him. Christ, sitting a few seats away, looked equally surprised to see her. His usually calm demeanor faltered for a moment, replaced by a flicker of astonishment.

Christ had had an exhausting day. After a long trip back to the mansion, he had been immediately involved in treating his brother, who had been suffering from a severe illness.

The hours of treatment were grueling, but finally, his brother's health had improved and stabilized. Relieved but weary, Christ had accepted Julie's brother's invitation to join them at the club, hoping to relax for a bit.

As their eyes met, a silent exchange passed between Sofia and Christ. Despite the bustling environment, it felt as if time had momentarily stood still for them.

Sofia's mind raced with questions, but she maintained her composed exterior, not wanting to reveal her inner turmoil.

Julie, oblivious to the tension, pulled Sofia into a seat beside her. "I'm so glad you came! You look amazing," she gushed. "We're going to have such a great time tonight!"

Sofia forced a smile, trying to push aside her thoughts about Christ. "Thanks, Julie. I'm looking forward to it."

Christ, regaining his composure, greeted Sofia with a polite nod. "Good evening, Sofia," he said, his voice steady. "It's a surprise to see you here."

"Likewise," Sofia replied, her tone equally composed. "I didn't expect to run into you."

Julie's brother, sensing the undercurrent but not entirely sure what it was about, attempted to lighten the mood. "Well, the more, the merrier, right? Let's enjoy the night!"

The group settled in, and the initial surprise began to dissipate as the music and ambiance of the club took over. Sofia remained aware of Christ's presence, but she focused on enjoying the evening with Julie and the others. As the night wore on, the club's vibrant energy started to work its magic, helping her relax and unwind.

"Sofia, let's not sit here and waste time," Julie exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Let's go to the dance floor and enjoy ourselves. Look, they're about to play a couple's song. Come on, brother, you be my partner. You know I'm a terrible dancer, and only you can handle my clumsy moves."

Feng Hui chuckled, his tone filled with affection. "Alright, my little princess," he said, wrapping an arm around his sister's shoulders. "I'll be your partner."

Julie then turned to Christ, her eyes twinkling with a mix of mischief and uncertainty. "Christ, would you be willing to dance with Sofia?" she asked, her voice tinged with hesitation.

She knew Christ's reserved nature and his general aloofness towards women, so she wasn't sure if he would accept the request.

Feng Hui shared her uncertainty. He glanced at Christ, hoping his friend would be amenable but ready to find another partner for Sofia if necessary. To his surprise and relief, Christ nodded.

"Sure," Christ replied, his voice calm and measured.

Feng Hui and Julie exchanged a quick look of surprise and delight. Christ, ever the enigma, stood up and made his way towards Sofia. He extended one hand towards her in a graceful gesture, silently asking for a dance. His eyes met hers, a blend of cool composure and something else, something unspoken yet undeniable.
