Wynne returned the gesture with a smug smile. Anya couldn't resist a sigh of admiration. "Wynne, your Mothian is still impeccable!" Having been a college superstar in the Mothian department, Wynne reveled in the compliment. He then cast a pointed look at Frederick. In Salmasian high society, wealth wasn't the only measure of status. Refinement mattered too. And in this fancy restaurant, fluency in Mothian became a marker of social standing. Even Anya felt a twinge of self-consciousness, opting to silently choose her dishes from the menu rather than order out loud.

"In front of potential business partners and colleagues, no less. Did you even pause to consider how that might look?” "It… it was just going to be one harmless dance,” I finally managed lamely. “I didn't realize that was so unprofessional." Alex looked at me very seriously. "We're here representing my firm tonight, Sophie. Not gallivanting around like a couple of lovestruck teenagers at prom." “I was only trying to engage with the client to strengthen our partnership.” “Look around you, Sophie. Take a good look." He waved a hand out at the opulent ballroom. "This is the upper echelon of society. CEOs, power players, old money. You really thought your little small-town charm act would fit in

one friend exclaimed, practically throwing herself at Vivian for a quick hug. “I missed you too,” Vivian replied, her smile bright, flawless. Every word, every glance, measured. She let herself soak in their admiration, letting the warmth feed the careful fire of her plans. As she moved deeper into the room, other friends gravitated toward her. “It feels like the city’s been dull without you,” another said, hands fluttering. “What have you been up to?” Vivienne tilted her head, leaning in conspiratorially. “Oh, you know, the usual,” she said softly, eyes flicking over a group of younger socialites who had been lingering near the bar. “Navigating certain… delicate situations. Some people just

"Attending a social event." "This isn't exactly your scene, is it?" The insult was subtle but clear. He was suggesting I didn't belong in sophisticated company. "I have an invitation," I said calmly. "Just like everyone else." Isabella's laugh was like silver bells. "Oh, sweetie, this isn't the kind of party you can just walk into." Her tone was sweetly condescending. Like she was explaining something to a confused child. "These events are very exclusive. Only for wealthy donors and prominent architects."

“Cute. But some of us were born into this world. Not… acquired for it.” I laughed lightly, like we were old friends. “Oh honey, acquired? That’s adorable. See, the difference between us is I know exactly what this world costs. And I’m not afraid to pay it.” I glanced back at Nico, letting my voice drop just enough. “Or make others pay.” The socialite opened her mouth, then closed it. I could see her recalculating. She wasn’t used to getting clapped back at by the new girl. “You’ve got quite the mouth on you,” she said finally.

“And I’ve heard enough about the 'Lexus family shame' to know exactly who you are, sweetheart. You’re a charity case pretending to be something you're not.” Maxwell glanced at Sophia. “Chloe? Can’t say I’ve heard the name,” he replied. “Must be a new addition.” Sophia turned her head to Maxwell, then to the woman beside her, observing Chloe like something under a microscope. “That would explain it,” Sophia mused, her voice cool and melodic. “I suppose if one is struggling to become relevant in these circles, dating a Lexus is a shortcut. It’s a classic strategy for the 'socially ambitious,' isn't it?”

They were the epitome of high society, and they knew it. Ivy glided effortlessly through the crowds, her diamonds flashing as she extended warm smiles and gracious greetings to the city's elite. She was in her element, surrounded by friends and acquaintances who shared her rarefied status. With a gentle touch on the arm and a soft whisper in the ear, she welcomed the crème de la crème of society to her home.

Alexander Attending social events should be as simple as it’s always been. I’m used to playing the role of the ruthless man, the flawless businessman, in these environments. It’s my comfort zone. But since I married Sophia, nothing feels simple anymore. We’re at a refined restaurant, where a select group of investors discusses deals over crystal glasses and linen napkins. A night to close partnerships, maintain appearances, and reinforce my image. Sophia is by my side, wearing an elegant burgundy dress. The fabric molds to her curves subtly, without exaggeration, but enough to draw attention. And those glances bother me more than I’d anticipated.

"I grew up in a neighborhood where people worried about keeping the lights on, not keeping up appearances. So if you're trying to insult me, you're going to have to be more direct. I'm not fluent in whatever this is." She gestured vaguely at them. One of them actually laughed—a genuine sound that broke the script they'd been following. "Well," she said, "at least you're honest." "Especially because he usually prefers sophistication," another one added, but it sounded different now. Less cutting. "People confuse sophistry with sophistication," Selena replied, which was something her mother used to say. "Wealth doesn't actually change who you are. It just gives you a bigger stage for it." She
