Chương 106: Velvet and Venom: The Sinister Side of an Elegant Encounter

In the quiet back rooms of the elegant store, a plush oasis away from the bustling world outside, Delbert settled down a little distance away from his Master. He maintained an immaculate posture, guarding his prince's surroundings in silence.

On the other hand, Adrien sat down in a casually elegant manner, crossing his legs one over the other. His perceptive eyes watched Alicia intently, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. He found himself amused by the way she got flustered with every passing second.

Alicia, who was in the spotlight, felt overawed by the attention she received. Rachael, the store owner, and her knowledgeable staff bustled around showcasing an array of magnificent costumes, making the room seem to close in on her. Her heart pounded, and she became intensely aware of every stare that was directed at her and every murmur that was heard. She felt a surge of self-consciousness.
