Shay’s eyes flashed with a momentary flicker of disdain before she turned around, her face breaking into a radiant smile. “Cindy, wasn’t this your idea? Why are you getting cold feet now?”
Joelle glanced around, oblivious to the mocking undertone in Shay’s voice and expression.
Trying to gather her courage, Joelle squared her shoulders, but her nerves were still all too apparent.
“Come on, Cindy, grab a soda over there and chill out a bit. I just spotted some friends, gotta go say hi.”
Without waiting for Joelle to reply, Shay was already making her way across the room.
Joelle made her way over to the drinks area, picked up an iced soda, and took a few sips.
When she looked up, she spotted Josefina.
Joelle eyed Josefina’s outfit, her mind buzzing with irritation. “Josefina looks incredible! How did she even get an invite to this high-class event?”
Trying to be discreet, Joelle pulled out her phone and snapped a quick photo of Josefina chatting with Livia.
Reviewing the shot, Joelle mumbled to herself, “Even from the worst angle, Josefina looks amazing. Does she ever take a bad photo?”
Determined, Joelle pretended to be engrossed in her phone while sneaking another shot from a tricky angle.
Checking the new photo, she found Josefina looked just as stunning.
Joelle muttered under her breath, scrolling through the images, “Some people just have all the luck, looking good even when they laugh their heads off.”
Just as she was about to continue her covert photo session, she realized Josefina had vanished.
She was right there a second ago, and now she’s gone?
Joelle scanned the room but couldn’t spot Josefina anywhere.
