Watching Michelle stomp off and slam the door, I held the two gift boxes from Silverfang Atelier, feeling nothing. Just a silly little victory in a pointless argument.
I glanced down at the boxes and remembered Theo had mentioned wanting an energy accessory. I could give him the extra tie I bought. At least it wouldn’t go to waste.
That thought calmed me a bit.
I barely made it to the mall entrance when my phone buzzed. It was Hugh.
I smiled and answered, “Hello, Hugh. What’s up?”
“Amanda, are you busy?” His voice was warm.
“Not really. What’s going on?”
“Nothing major,” he said. “After school this afternoon, someone will pick you up. Just go with them.”
I didn’t overthink it and agreed.
After training, a black car was waiting at the school gate. The driver came over quickly, bowing slightly. “Please get in, Ms. Lamb.”
“Where are we headed?” I asked.
“To Mr. Tony’s private styling studio,” he said with a smile. “Mr. Hugh wants you to have the perfect look for tonight’s birthday banquet. You’ll turn heads.”
I let out a small laugh, but my stomach tightened.
What if my real face showed?
At the studio, a stylish middle-aged man greeted me immediately. It must be Tony. He scanned me, eyes lighting up.
“Ms. Lamb, your figure is excellent. This gown will really show it off. And your features are well-defined. Different makeup could look even better.”
He held up a blazing red mermaid gown. “How about this one? Top-tier stellar silk with tiny moonstones. Under the lights, it shimmers silver. It fits your shape perfectly. You’ll look amazing.”
I stared at the bold dress and shook my head quickly. “Nope. I’m not suited to such bright colors.”
With my “ugly” face? Disaster waiting to happen if I wore that. Plus, it was way too attention-grabbing. I needed to stay low-key.
Tony sighed and brought out a champagne-colored strapless gown. “What about this? It’s elegant but

understated, and it highlights your collarbones. With refined makeup, you’ll look graceful.”
“No makeup changes,” I said firmly. “I’ll pick the dress. Keep it simple and nothing flashy.”
He hesitated. “If I tweak your makeup a little, it might look even better. May I try?”

I declined, trying to stay polite despite the awkwardness. “No, thanks. Let’s just change the dress.”
In the end, I chose a plain gown and kept it low-key for the party.
By seven, the driver dropped me at Ortega Castle.
The entrance was glowing with lights, and the air smelled like champagne and fresh flowers.
I took a deep breath, lifted my hem, and stepped out.
The moment I entered the hall, elegantly dressed ladies surrounded me, all smiles. “You must be Ms. Lamb! You’re so young and already have perfect scores. That’s amazing!”
“Ms. Lamb, your connection with the Eclipse Pack Alpha is incredible. Mr. Hugh trusts you so much. Please look after our family in the future.”
They fluttered around, all flattery and networking.
I kept a polished smile, answering everyone and leaning on my skill of telling people what they wanted to
hear.
Finally, I found a moment to breathe. I sat on a couch and nibbled on some pastries.
Then, someone shouted from the crowd, “The Ortegas are here!”
