Shadows Of Stardom

Chapter 3

The following day, the girls and I were all set for dinner at the best restaurant in the country. I slipped into my black Jaquemus dress—it felt like magic on my skin. I paired it with my LV heels, added some makeup, and suddenly, I was on cloud nine.

As I stood in front of the mirror, I could hardly contain my excitement. The silky fabric of my new dress shimmered softly under the warm light of my room. It hugged my body just right, flowing down to my knees like a gentle wave. I couldn’t help but spin around, watching the hem dance around me while my heart raced

This dinner was going to be something special. L’Opulence had always felt like a dream—so fancy that getting a reservation was almost impossible. But thanks to Chan’s surprising connections, we were all set for a night filled with luxury.

“Jennie! Are you almost ready?” Lisa shouted from the living room, her voice revealing just how eager she was.

“I’m coming!” I called back, a smile spreading across my face.

Meanwhile, Jisoo and Rosé were probably back and forth with excited chatter, their outfits making the atmosphere even more joyful. I finished styling my hair, giving my long dark locks a playful toss before grabbing my purse and heading downstairs.

As I walked down, my friends filled the room with good vibes. They looked absolutely amazing—Jisoo glammed up in a stunning red dress, Rosé shimmered in a classy black outfit, and Lisa looked radiant in her soft pastel pink

I sent a message to the girls, and before I knew it, they had all gathered in my living room, buzzing with excitement.

Jisoo, always the fashionista, twirled in her beautiful dress and asked everyone what they thought. I couldn't help but compliment her, which she playfully brushed off, leaning in closer to me.

“Why do you look so radiant today?” she asked, her eyes sparkling as if she could sense some kind of glow around me.

“Do you really think so?” I replied, a warm feeling spreading through me as Lisa added her own praises to the mix. Rosé leaned in, studying my face in a way that made me laugh a little.

Just then, my phone buzzed, announcing that our ride had arrived. The girls jumped up in excitement.

“Let’s go!” we all said in unison, racing out to the car parked in the driveway.

As we piled into the car, the energy was contagious. Jisoo kept glancing at her reflection in the window, smoothing out her dress, while Rosé sang along to the songs playing on the radio. Lisa was busy taking selfies

The ride  was filled with laughter and playful banter. “I heard they have a dessert that’s actually made of gold!” Rosé exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

“More like gold flakes,” Jisoo replied with a smirk, rolling her eyes. “But it still sounds amazing!”

Being in France was like living a dream. I mean, how often do you get to enjoy the taste of fancy French food and sip on amazing wine at the third-best restaurant in the whole world? It was an opportunity I couldn’t miss.

As our driver wove through the busy streets of Paris, I felt a thrill in my stomach. The city buzzed around us, and I was dying to see what awaited us at the restaurant. When we finally arrived at L’Opulence, my jaw dropped. It was huge and magnificent! The moment we walked through those big glass doors, I was wrapped in the elegant charm of the place. The lighting was soft and warm, the fabrics luxurious, and the tempting smells of delicious dishes filled the air.

The restaurant wasn’t just about great food; it was a masterpiece in its own right. The designers had picked colors like rich greens and browns that worked together perfectly. Everything looked so glamorous! I noticed a unique light fixture hanging above, and I couldn’t help but admire how they had arranged everything to create a cozy yet sophisticated space. It was clear they thought about every little detail—how the place felt and how comfortable the seats were—all to make our experience truly special.
