Miss Ivy? Are you done changing? Sir Raizo has been waiting for you
Ivy Salazar
Almost…
She looked in the mirror and saw herself wearing a dress. Raizo wants her to join him at the event.
Ivy Salazar
*muttering* What am I even doing here?
The door opened slightly—Mr. Monteiro peeked his head in, his voice still polite but urging.
Levi Montiero (Right-hand man of Rael)
Forgive me for pressing, Miss, but the car is ready. Sir Raizo has requested not to keep the hosts waiting longer than necessary
Ivy Salazar
*nodded*
Ivy Salazar
Okay. I’m ready.
She grabbed the small clutch bag on the dresser and followed Mr. Monteiro out. The hallway was quiet, too quiet for something so grand. Every step her heels made echoed against the marble floors like an announcement.
At the end of the hall, Raizo stood by the staircase, dressed in a dark suit that fit him like it was crafted just for him—which, knowing his family, it probably was.
Raizo “Rael” Dela Cruz
....You clean up okay
Ivy Salazar
*blinked, then raised a brow.* Is that your version of a compliment?
Raizo “Rael” Dela Cruz
It’s the best you’re getting tonight.
She snorted softly. The tension in her shoulders loosened just a little.
Ivy Salazar
Charming as always.
Raizo offered his arm. It wasn’t something Ivy expected—but somehow, it felt natural to take it. Almost as if… this wasn’t their first time.
Raizo “Rael” Dela Cruz
*quietly* You don’t have to talk to anyone. Just stay close. And if anything feels off… tell me.
Ivy Salazar
Okay
A black luxury car waited just outside the grand entrance, the driver already holding the door open for them.
