Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 386

Getting into the University of Maple Grove isn't easy; apart from the real geniuses, it's the result of countless days and nights of hard work. During those tough times, Rafael's dance was their guiding light. So, when word got out that Rafael was coming to the University of Maple Grove, the students went wild.

"Are our seats in the medical department close to the stage for the welcome party? I'd love to catch a glimpse of Rafael up close!"

"Me! I've held Rafael's hand before!" a girl exclaimed excitedly. "It was when I went to the airport to meet him. The fans were so crazy that I got pushed to the ground, and Rafael himself helped me up!"

Her story set off another wave of excited screams.

Cynthia quietly read her book, unimpressed. She'd had dinner with Rafael, after all!

...

With Rafael's attendance at the welcome party confirmed, everyone practiced even harder.

"We've pretty much nailed the dance moves; now let's figure out what to wear that day."

A group of young men and women sat in a circle, brainstorming their outfits.

"When it comes to clothes, we can't compete with the fashion design department."

A girl sighed, "I've seen what they've got ready; it's stunning, made personally by their professors."

The quality of custom-made clothes versus off-the-rack isn't even close.

Plus, finding the right dance costumes online for their performance was almost impossible.

But custom-making them was just too pricey.

Even though the school would reimburse part of the cost, it was still a lot of money!

If it was just about the money, it would be one thing, but they didn't know anyone in the fashion design world. What if they spent all that money and the outfits turned out awful?

Cynthia was worried too.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man, just like gold makes the Buddha.

If their costumes were eye-catching enough, their performance would naturally stand out more.

"Leave the costume issue to me," Flora said confidently. "I'll get them custom-made."
