He moved calmly through the crowd, positioning himself slightly ahead of me, not blocking me—but daring anyone to try. His thumb brushed over my knuckles in a slow rhythm. “You are doing great,” he murmured without looking at me. I swallowed. “They are staring.” “Let them,” he said. “They don’t get to decide who you are.” We passed the food stalls, the music stage, and the makeshift beer garden. Everywhere we went, the attention followed. Some people looked away quickly, embarrassed by their own curiosity. Others didn’t bother hiding it.

"But seriously, you don't look bad yourself." He curtsied, keeping his eyes on mine until I felt the force to excuse his gaze. The intensity had my throat burning in a weird way. I was about to say, 'Hey, let's go find our seat!" But the lights that flashed our way replaced my words with a strained gasp as though I were a piglet that just lost its bother. The sharp, imposing glow of the limelight landed in our direction. A huge, formidable circle that seemed to stretch too widely to rush out of. And why was this? I hadn't seen anyone else get introduced this way.

he paused for dramatic effect, “…is a new player. In Paris.” I suppressed a sigh. “Paris is crowded. Everyone and their brother has a ‘new player’ in Paris.” “This one’s different,” chimed in Mrs. Cho, her fingers steepled. “It’s a software company. ‘Luminere.’ They were a sinking ship six months ago. A legacy brand everyone had written off. Then it was bought out. Privately.” “By who? Some Silicon Valley hedge fund?” I asked, already losing interest. I was mentally calculating the cost of undoing my mother’s personnel changes.

"Trust me." I don't trust him, but I hand him my phone, curious to see what happens next. "I, Atticus Maximillion Preston the fourth," he begins, "being of sound mind and body do willingly give Lilliana Adare access to the Legacy floor for the remainder of her time here at The Luminary Society Academy for Young Entrepreneurs." he pauses, licking his lips. "This includes access to all facilities, materials, and privileges in perpetuity."

"Yes. We can keep it up for as long as you want." Desiree stared at him. She'd expected him to be upset about them using him, but here he was offering himself even more. Just as she was about to speak, a voice coming from the speakers cut her off. "Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally the moment we've all been waiting for. It's time to unveil this year's exclusive by Lux and Shine. Time to see which lucky person ends up with the gem of the year. Please take your seats."

Harsh's ego and he says arrogantly "What kind of attitude is this? Don't forget that I paid you for this so how can you leave like this?" All the people present in the room looks at Mr. Harsh sympathetically while in return Zoya gives a cold smile the turns to her assistant "Shettal, return Mr. Harsh his money and don't forget to add the interest after all in the future without his son the only thing that can help him in this age is his money." Saying this she goes from there. Mr. Harsh's trance was broken with Sheetal's voice "Please sir, come with me."

A pair of black strap heels complimented her look whilst increasing her height. “Thank-you.” I smile warmly. Maybe I'll try to embrace the possibility of having fun. Atleast, to forget about everything that had happened with Ubong and Chidi. “Seriously, I guess you’ve forgotten how to have fun or what fun is. You, my friend are becoming boring and I am going to change that.” I hear Omoh declare while finally opening the door. I sigh as I follow her in. The blast of loud music welcomes our ears and our eyes beheld the blue-green ambience, created by the rays of light from the exquisite Chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

It was 05:30 am and slight rays of the sun just started seeping through the clouds making the sky look half dark. I took my car with myself to drive to my club where I had a gold membership.

The Blazing Lights is one of the biggest clubs there is on the earth. So, it was going to be more fun than all the other times we went out clubbing. The first thing I see once entering the club is the sweating bodies dancing to loud, bass-filled music. The bright, blinding, strobe lights illuminate the otherwise pitch-black club. I guess that’s why they call it The Blazing Lights.

It seemed he knew something when Noah said the word “Starlight” On the other hand, Lux was trying to calm down and took a deep breath. The blonde-haired girl had a faint smile on her face, “Huft … looks like I have to use that. Like it or not, I have to do it in an emergency like this.
