The loud music from afar justifies the event as I watch my reflection in the big full-length mirror inside the room that I occupied in the Harger mansion. My strapless grosgrain-trimmed tulle gown in beige and black color fitted my body on the bust and waist then loose at the hip. I styled my hair on a French bun, showcasing my shoulders and collarbone. On my fit is a barely there black sandals in patent leather and I have no other accessories aside from the tiny diamond earrings on my earlobes. Jessica insisted on me wearing her diamond necklace to match the earrings however I politely declined. The dress is free, I can no longer take advantage of her generosity by taking a piece of expensive jewelry. It is her birthday, so I should act and dress up not to steal her moment.
"Miss Cooper?"
I recognize the voice coming from Ana behind my bedroom door.
"Oh, Ana it is open. Please come in!"
