“What could possibly go wrong? The company is wholeheartedly promoting her," another voice responded confidently.

The release was officially announced?

Ariana's eyebrow arched in surprise, recalling the plagiarized script Sonia had shared with her before. She scoffed at the thought. But choosing not to engage in the discussion, she swiftly returned to her office with her water in hand, ready to resume her work.

Ariana wasn't sure how much time had passed, but she eventually managed to tackle most of the tasks on her plate.

It was only during her break that she noticed a dull ache in her back and a soreness in her leg.

Sitting down, she leaned back in her chair for a moment and took out the business card she had failed to call the previous night.

Despite her hesitation, she had decided against returning the card.

No longer afraid to touch Theodore's belongings, her intuition told her that this card must hold a deep connection to him.

Ariana made another attempt to dial the number on the card, but once again, there was no response.

Could the shop be closed during the day as well?

She furrowed her brow, contemplating her next move. Perhaps searching for the store's name online would yield some results.

However, her enthusiasm quickly waned as she delved into the search.

The results were inundated with useless information and flashy websites.

Undeterred, Ariana closed those unhelpful tabs and persisted in her search.

The name ‘Eternal Hope' proved to be far from unique, with numerous unrelated businesses such as hair salons, bakeries, flower shops, and clothing stores sharing the same name. Surprisingly, even within Eleymond alone, there were at least ten establishments bearing that name.

However, none of them appeared to have any connection to the card she held in her hand.

Just as Ariana was about to relinquish her efforts, a forum post caught her attention.

The post featured a photo shared by a user who claimed to have commissioned a custom-made dress at a small, old shop during a trip.

Although the shop itself appeared unremarkable, the dress showcased in the photo was unexpectedly exquisite, displaying exceptional craftsmanship and superior quality.

Intrigued, Ariana opened the post and discovered that the shop's name indeed matched the one on the card, Eternal Hope.
