When they heard the dress was for Sarah, their morbid curiosity transformed into admiration for Ariana. It was a designer dress that even major stars couldn't get. Ariana was able to borrow it when she had only started her career as an agent at such a young age!

Keener people began to flatter Ariana and question her about her background.

Ariana could feel the heat rising to her face from all the attention. Embarrassed, she excused herself quickly, shut and grabbed the box, and hurried back to her office. She pried the box open and rummaged through it, pushing the folds of the gorgeous dress aside. Under it, she found a card.

The card was in a gilded, smooth envelope. It looked like an invitation, but there was nothing written on it. Nothing, except the small steel seal with the letter "H" in the corner.

Ariana frowned at the envelope. Right at that moment, a notification sound pinged, and she looked at her phone on the table. It was a friend request.
