Chapter 94

• Author’s POV
• Sophie was carefully adjusting some display items when the boutique manager walked in, holding a clipboard in one hand. "Sophie, go attend to a customer out there," she instructed. Sophie immediately straightened up and nodded. "Of course," she responded eagerly, smoothing down her uniform before stepping out.
• As she entered the main area of the boutique, her eyes landed on a tall man with his back turned to her. With a polite smile, she approached him. "Welcome to La Belle Boutique. How can I assist you today?" she said warmly. But as the man turned around, her entire body stiffened, her breath hitching in her throat.
