Jeannie raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical, “What secret could possibly be so juicy that you’re keeping it from me? Sandra, spill the beans and maybe I treat you to a new Louis Vuitton.”
Oh, the heiress could certainly afford such gestures.
Sandra, with her love for luxury, wrestled Gwendolyn’s hand away and blurted out, “It’s a lingerie bodysuit”
Gwendolyn’s cheeks flamed with embarrassment.
annie drawled mischievously, her eyes dancing with amusement as she looked at Gwendolyn, “Gwendolyn, I had no idea you and Howard were so adventurous. I know a famous lingerie store. We should totally go check it out”
“No thank you” Gwendolyn declined, trying to quell her enthusiasm.
“Count me in.” Sandra chimed in, her interest piqued, “I always shop online, and I had no clue there was a store.”
Jeannie grinned, proud of her insider info. “A friend told me about it. Super discreet, and the selection is to die for:
Sandra’s eyes sparkled at her words.
That was a game–changer. She could already picture a battlefield of seduction and allure.

Jeannie was positively gleeful, then a thought struck her, “Did you wear it last night, Gwendolyn? What did Howard say?”
“Yeah, do tell. That little piece of fabric cost me a pretty penny, and I deserve some feedback.” Sandra nudged her, teasing.
Gwendolyn tumed even redder, her breath hitching at the memory of the night before.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” she protested, even as her heart said otherwise.

“Gwendolyn, just indulge our curiosity, will you?”
Gwendolyn denied outright, “I didn’t wear it.”

“Alright, we’ll let it slide, Jeannie said with a radiant smile. Anyway, Marina and Roselind had prepared plenty of nifty gifts for them, from gourmet chocolates to fine wines, they had it all covered.
Gwendolyn grabbed her breakfast and took a big bite.
“Jeannie, I’ve got to get to work. You should go have fun or something.”

Jeannie’s laugh was like the tinkling of wind chimes, “No, it’s for the charity auction. Tomorrow night is Bayridge City’s annual high–society event. All the big names will be there, and of course, you’ll have to accompany Howard.”
1 envy you ladies of leisure, with your colorful lives, Sandra sighed.
“if you want to join, Sandra, just say the word,” Jeannie offered warmly.
Sandra waved her off, “No, that glittering world is too dazzling. You guys carry on, and I’ve got rounds to make Her words were flippant, but she was sensible at heart.
That world was not for her to dabble in, and she dreaded the thought of high hopes but a fragile fate
Jeannie watched Sandra leave, admiringly, “Sandra’s got her head on straight, no wonder you became such good friends with her.”
“She really is great Gwendolyn said softly, her tone warm and fond.
After a moming’s work, Gwendolyn found herself dragged into a shopping mall by Jeannie.
The array of goods was a feast for the eyes.
“Gwendolyn, I’m taking you to Bayridge City’s finest atelier. They’ve flown in the summer collection from the renowned designer Iryna, and it’s a worldwide limited release. I’ve already made a reservation for you.”
Jeannie ushered Gwendolyn into the studio with a whirlwind of excitement
“Ms. Chadwick, are you here to try on n the Urban Elegance‘ from Iryna?” the boutique owner asked with a warm welcome.
