Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1818

"You decided so quickly? I haven't even checked it out yet!"

Sophie sat in front of the mirror, admiring her reflection with her freshly applied red lipstick. It made her feel suddenly mature.

So mature, she barely recognized herself.

James commented, "That lipstick matches your dress perfectly."

"It does, doesn't it?"

Sophie turned to James with a playful grin and asked, "How do you know this lipstick goes with my dress? Since when do CEOs dabble in fashion?"

"Nope, just a lucky guess."

James asked the store clerk to wrap up their purchases simply, and then they headed back to the hotel together.

Sophie slipped into the red dress, and her long hair was styled into soft curls by the stylist.

James watched as her face gradually transformed into the Sophie he remembered.

"Why are you so quiet? I've asked three times—do I look good or not?"

"...You look stunning."

"It's strange, wearing this dress and having my makeup done. Looking in the mirror feels like I'm seeing someone else."

Sophie gazed at her reflection.

James seemed to see through Sophie, imagining a different version of her in another world.

"I'd love for you to play a piano piece tonight."

"Hmm?"

Sophie turned to James and asked, "But there's no piano here."

"Remember the square we passed by today?" James replied. "A real stage isn’t bound by location."

That evening, Sophie played a Chopin nocturne in the bustling downtown square.

Passersby paused to watch Sophie perform by the fountain, vibrant and fiery yet gentle and serene.
