(Implied MLM)

You were rich, and rich people went to fancy balls to show off their wealth and gossip to each other. That's basically what you and Nikolai did on your guy's free time. He occasionally accompanied you and helped whenever you needed it, though he wasn't your servant.

Tonight, you two were going to be attending one of these balls. Though, you were having troubles with your corset. It was hard to do it all by yourself when the laces were in the back. That's when Nikolai came out of your bathroom after getting ready himself.

"Do you need help with anything?"
