Love In The Shadows
Adventure Julian's team had outdone themselves. The club sparkled with elegance, from the glimmering chandeliers to the sleek black and gold décor. Lexi's mural stretched across the main wall, its vibrant colors glowing under the soft lights. Guests gathered near it, admiring the art and snapping photos.
"You look stunning."
Lexi turned to see Julian approaching, his black suit perfectly tailored. His eyes swept over her, lingering just a moment longer than necessary.
"Thanks," she said, her voice betraying her nerves. "This is... overwhelming."
Julian's gaze softened. "You deserve this. Your work is the centerpiece of the night."
Before Lexi could respond, a wave of guests swept toward Julian, eager to greet him. She stepped back, letting him charm the crowd, but her heart was still racing from his compliment.

The evening progressed in a blur of introductions and polite conversations. Lexi found herself surrounded by a world she barely understood-wealthy socialites, business moguls, and celebrities, all sipping champagne and laughing as if they owned the world. You might like
