After some clumsy movements, a beautiful cross knot was tied perfectly. This method was suitable for thin single-color fabrics and looked fashionable when paired with Benson's white suit today.
"Benson, this is my first time helping someone tie his tie. Do you feel honored?" Cheyenne asked playfully.
Hearing her words laced with a hint of pride caused Benson's handsome face to soften even more into an affectionate smile.
He lowered his head and whispered softly in her ear. "Yes, I do; I can clearly feel that your movements are unfamiliar."
Under the bright white light, Benson's profile looked chiselled yet soft; it made people unable to look away from him. His skin was flawless due to rarely going outside which left many women feeling inferior in comparison.
"Ahem... I promise you that anything done by me will be top-notch," she said jokingly.
As she spoke, her slender fingers tugged at his tie and smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt before adjusting his suit jacket. Finally satisfied with her work, she looked up at him and said, "Not bad. You look handsome."
Benson smiled in response. As long as Cheyenne approved, he was happy.
"Let's go inside," Cheyenne nodded and took his arm as they walked into the music hall.
The circular room was grand and could seat two to three thousand people. The walls were coated with a special material that ensured optimal audio-visual experience for the audience.
Dressed in their finest attire, audience began to trickle in one by one.
As Benson and Cheyenne walked towards them, they couldn't help but admire.
The man was tall with a lean figure; he had sharp features that exuded elegance and charm while radiating warmth like sunshine.
Cheyenne stood beside him wearing a white knee-length dress that revealed a glimpse of her fair legs and her petite feet.
One would want nothing more than to hold those delicate feet gently within their palms for safekeeping.
"Benson, we're here," Cheyenne said as she led him towards their seats when someone suddenly tapped her shoulder from behind causing her strapless dress to slip down revealing more than intended on her round shoulders.
She turned around quickly only to see...
In front of her stood a woman in her early twenties, wearing a long blue floral dress and with golden wavy curls cascading down her back. She was tall and striking, with sharp features and well-defined eyebrows.
"I was just thinking that the person's back looked familiar. It really is you, Cheyenne," said Danielle Parry, the daughter of the Parry family and Cheyenne's high school classmate.
Back then, although Cheyenne wasn't academically inclined and often got into trouble, she was the most popular girl in school. Many boys were smitten with her charm, including Cameron Russell, whom Danielle had secretly admired for years. Although Cheyenne never reciprocated Cameron's feelings for her, it still caused tension between her and Danielle.
Danielle often badmouthed Cheyenne to their teachers and even helped Nora spread rumors about her.
After they graduated from high school, everyone went their separate ways; Cheyenne married Kelvin while Danielle pursued higher education overseas - contact between them dwindled until there wasn't much left to argue about anymore.
Seeing that it was Danielle, Cheyenne simply nodded at Danielle's greeting.
