Chapter 22 The Charm Offensive

• The sun cast a warm golden hue across the Lagos skyline as Amara sat at her desk, heart pounding with anticipation. It had been precisely one week since Bimpe's damning accusations shook the foundations of her brand, but the aftermath had revealed an unexpected ray of hope. Dare had made a commitment to help her turn the tide of public perception by showcasing her designs at high-profile social events across the city.
• “Are you ready for tonight?” Kemi asked, bouncing into the room with infectious excitement as she arranged Amara's latest designs on the display table. The soft fabric flowed beautifully, vibrant colors creating a stunning array of artistry.
• Amara took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. “As ready as I’ll ever be,” she replied, forcing a smile. “Dare’s been attending all the right gatherings this week, and I’ve seen a surge of interest in my designs. But I can’t shake the feeling that we still have a long way to go.”
