Velvette lay sprawled on her bed, one leg lazily draped over the other, scrolling through social media with a self-satisfied hum. The glow from her sleek, high-tech tablet illuminated her face, reflecting in her sharp red eyes as she flicked past endless posts. A new collection of cutting-edge gadgets caught her attention, earning an approving nod and a murmured, "Ooooh, now that’s pretty."
Just as she was about to dive deeper into the specs, a series of soft knocks echoed from her bedroom door, disrupting her focus.
"Ugh... really?"
She rolled her eyes, tossing the tablet onto her desk with a dramatic sigh before swiveling in her chair, one hand propping up her chin as she eyed the door with mild disinterest.
"Yees? What do you want?"
Her voice was laced with mock impatience, dragging out the words as she glanced briefly at the door before shifting her attention back to her phone. She didn't even bother to stand—whatever it was, it would have to be worth her time.
"If it's not something exciting, you'd better come back later." she added with a sly smirk barely visible at the corner of her lips, eyes still glued to the screen as if the conversation itself was a mere background task.
